Mataura Livery And Bait Stables

Mataura Livery And Bait Stables (Ewen Duncan Cameron, proprietor), Main Street, Mataura. These stables, which adjoin the Mataura Hotel and hall, were established in the early seventies. They are two stories in height, are built of stone, and contain seventeen stalls and five loose boxes, besides buggy-sheds and a large hay loft. About eight horses are at work, and the vehicles include two double buggies, three gigs and a drag, to seat twenty adults. Mr Cameron was born at Mataura, in 1879, went to school in the district, and has always had to do with horses. In page 1093 1901, he went to South Africa as a member of the Sixth New Zealand Contingent, with which he served eighteen months, and marched with his comrades on Petersberg, the last town held by the Boers. He returned to New Zealand unscathed, in 1902, and took over the stables noticed in this article.
