TROUT FISHING IN S. AFRICA 205 
It was all most interesting, and there was 
a South African atmosphere about it all. In 
the window were, amongst other views, three 
illuminated pictures, one of them a South African 
vineyard at the Paarl; and in the exhibition hall 
were large photographs of Pretoria, Capetown, 
Durban, Port Elizabeth, and other places. 
But what I most wanted to see was South 
African trout in glass cases, and photographs of 
South African trout and streams. Respectful 
inquiry was therefore made about trout, and it 
was explained to me at 90, Cannon Street, that 
the exhibits principally represented export trade, 
and that, as it happened, trout did not come 
within that category; in other words, that this 
Section of the High Commissioner’s Office looked 
after the export trade of the Union of South 
Africa. 
It occurred to me—I express a personal view— 
that there is a link missing, somewhere. It 
seems that scope exists for extending knowledge 
not only of South Africa’s industrial features, but 
also of its residential and sporting attractions. 
True, there were trophies of native antelope in 
the exhibition hall. Shooting men are always 
interested in these. I think that exhibits of that 
sort could be more numerous with advantage. 
African antelopes are varied and fine. Possibly 
specimens of sporting birds, such as the red wing 
and the grey wing (partridges), and the khoorhan, 
could be introduced. I do not know how far 
there would be accommodation for all this,
