The Secretary of State for the Dominions, the Rt. Hon. L. S. Amery, with the keenness which has marked his investigations in other parts of the Empire, is spending another day of great activity in Auckland.

In the early forenoon Mr. Amery received several deputations in a room which had been set apart for his special use at the Town Hall. Ho later visited the works of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company at Chelsea.

On returning to the city the Colonial Secretary was the guest of honour at a Town* Hall luncheon arranged by the Chamber of Commerce, the Provincial Employers' Association and the Manufacturers' Association.

With energy which matches that of her husband, Mrs. Amery has been throwing herself with enthusiasm into the round of visits and functions arranged in her honour. She was entertained at morning tea by Mrs. C. E. Maguire and, this afternoon, with Mr. Amery, is attending an At Home at the Auckland Club.

This evening Mr. Amery will be present at a private dinner at the Northern Club while Mrs. Amery will dine at the Grand Hotel, at the invitation of Mrs. Carr.

The Auckland visit will draw to a close to-morrow morning, when the guests of New Zealand will leave by special train for Hamilton and other parts, of the Dominion.
