MT. COOK.

AUSTRALIAN VISITOR IMPRESSED. <: I think that in the future you .will have an enormous number of people from Australia visiting Mt. Cook, both for the scenery and the interest that the locality otters," said Mr Justice Davidson, of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, to a representative of The Pbf.B3 yesterday. Mr Justice Davidson, Mr J. H. Hammond, K.C., of Sydney, Mrs and Miss Hammond, and Mr Hammond, jun., arrived m Christchurch from Timaru last evening. The party arrived in Auckland and travelled to Napier, Wellington, and then to Mt. Cook. "Rotorua is a wonderful tourist resort," said Mr Justice Davidson. "The catering is excellent, and it is most comfortable in every respect. The sights there are, to my mind, unique. However, I liked Mt. Cook even better. The arrangements'there were the best that we met anywhere. I went for one short walk from the Hermitage to Ball Hut and the icefall. There is an admirable view of the glaciers. I had not seen it- before it stpuck me as being full of interest. Unfortunately I am not a climber, but the opportunities were unequalled. We were delighted with the Hermitage, it being comfortable in every* respect. The greatest courtesy and wonderful.attention were given to everybody. Mr Justice Davidson and party leave for Wellington to-day. They leave for Sydney by the Marama.
