He also dealt with, the wonderful tourist attractions which thiß country has to offer, attractions which surpass those famed in many other parts of the world, and he issued a cordial invitation to the people of all countries to crrne and see these, and to enjoy tho hospitality which awaits them in the Dominion.
The proceedings went through without a hitch of any sort, Sir Joseph speaking in a firm, quiet, tor.c admirably suited for the purposes of recording, and the operators expressed themselves as being delighted with the result of their first effort in New Zealand.
