OUR BEAUTIFUL LAND
NEW ZEALAND EULOGISED. [THE PRESS Special Service.] WELLINGTON, October 14. A glowing tribute, to New Zealand •was paid by Sir George Foster, K.0.M.G., a recent visitor to the Dominion, in a speech which ; he delivered at Vancouver, and which' has just reached the Government. "New Zealand is a unique Dominion and a kindly, strong, and lovable people are loyally and devotedly laying the foundations of her' great future," said Sir George Foster. "It is a delightful land, sun-kissed, verdure-clad, rain-washed, fanned with breezes fresh from the clasped in the soft arms of the ever-circling sea, a very epitome of world beauty. "From 'this picture is reflected a wealth of charmingly tinted lakes, of short, strong-flowing streams, of hills clad with evergreens, of snow-crowned volcanoes wrapped in warm mists, of shooting geysers, immense glaciers, deep fiords and circled bays, all marked with a beauty strange and eerie and yet of grace inimitable."
