A TRAVELLER'S TALE.
NEW ZEALAND EXPERIENCES. "DIFFICULT TO GET A GLASS OF ALE." By Telegraph.— Prefi3 Association.— Copyright, (Receivod January 30, 10.17 a.m.) ADELAIDE, This Day. Colonel Hopton, commandant of tho British rifle team, who has returned from a visit to New Zealand, said he would rather live in Australia than in "God's Own Country." There was a lot to be done by the Tourist Department, said the colonel, before the accommodation provided for travellers approached) that of Australia. In most instances ha found it inferior, though the charges were high. His chief giievance against New Zealand was the restriction placed on the sale of liquor. He was not a drinking man in the general sense of the' term, but most people like a glass of something with their meals, and in New Zealand it was difficult to get a glass of ale or wine. Concluding, Colonel Hopton said he did not care to express any stronger opinion, because- he had left the place, and was not likely to revisit it.
