"I am charmed with all I hare seen fa New Zealand and with the wonderful hospitality of your people," said Sir Watson Cheyne, Bart., K.C.M.G, tie eminent surgeon. At the outset he said he was in New Zealand on a health-re-cruiting trip and preferred not to comment on matters which might make It appear as though he desired to consider himself a commission appointed for the purpose.

Sir Watson holds the view that New Zealand has a great future before it from a tourist point of view, and he has enjoyed his stay immensely. It has been one of the pleasures of * Sir Wat> son Cheyne's visit to New Zealand that he has been able to meet a number of Shetland Islanders who are now living in the Dominion.

The visitof stated that Sir Bobert Stout and other ShetlafidefS had assisted him in drawing up his itinerary, and hi this connection he also praised "the work of the Xew Zealand Tourist Department tie deeply appreciated the courtesy that had been extended to him dating fell stay in Xew Zealand, and said that ttt memories of his present trip Would idways be among his most pleasant teed* lections.
