    DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST.—

    Another old colonist has passed away in the person of John Chambers, who died at his residence Richmond, on September 27. The deceased was a younger brother of James Chambers, a well-known character In South Australian history, whose death occurred over twenty years ago. John Chambers is believed to have been born in Norfolk in the year 1815, although in "Representative Men of South Australia" he is said to have been born in Middlesex, where his brother James first saw the light. John Chambers arrived in the colony in 1837, a year after his brother, with whom he was associated in business as a squatter up to the time of James's death. His brother and Mr. William Finke took an active part in organizing the expeditions into the interior under John McDouall Stuart, the famous explorer, which are now a matter of history. The whole of the expenses were sustained by Messrs. J. and J. Chambers and Finke. Two or three attempts were made to cross the continent, Stuart being driven back ; but, as every one knows, he eventually succceeded in forcing bis way through in 1862. On his return shortly afterwards he found that James Chambers, who had been fore- most in promoting the success of his enterprise, bad passed away. In his early days— from 1840 till about 1850— John Chambers resided at Cherry Gardens, where he owned a sheep run of about 1,200 acres, and where a cat of his children were born. He after wards went to live at Richmond, where be continued to reside until his death mixing little in public affairs and never occupying any public position. His face was well known to the members of the Royal Agricultural Society. He took a good deal of interest in the Society and attended its meetings pretty regularly. He and his brother were the means of improving the breed of horses and cattle, of which they were importers ; but bis name is principally known in connection, with the Stuart, expeditions, of which his brother was such an enthusiastic supporter. He was also familiarly known in sporting circles, having always been a consistent and liberal supporter of the turf. The deceased leaves a widow, who came with him to the colony, and five children— one son and four daughters, all of when, with the exception of one daughter, are married.
