THE WORLD'S GREATEST ENTERTAINER. To a pressman a few weeks ago, Sir Harry Lauder said: "This Dominion is a glorious country, not half advertised; the scenery is most fascinating and the them-*! regions wonderful and awe-inspiring. As for the fishing, well mind I'm teliing ye I've never seen anything like it and Borne of my trienua at .Rome that 1 have written to an told of my big catches are coming out to prove my words. There is no warmeiueaiteu peopie in the wond than the fou oi this country; theii hospitality is simply magnilicent. They rnsme reai genuine friends. 1 can say this honestly*, lor 1 nave proved it by the shake of their hand and their actions towards me. I'll never forget them nor the great holiday I've spent among them, and now at their request, I'm going to sing for them beiore I go Home again."
