> : In a recent issue attention was directed to the conducted tour of Scotland, England, and the Continent, and mention was made of places in Scotland, England, and in Europe those taking part in the tour would visit. On tho return of the party to London members will have the opportunity of seeing many places the names of which they have' probably known since childhood — St. Paul’s Cathedral (Wren’s masterpiece) . Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of Lonaon, “ Old Man Thames',” Hyde Park, Kew Gardens, and Richmond Park. Tho view of tho valley of the Thames from Richmond Hill is something which visitors seldom forget. Petticoat Lano is a revelation to New Zealanders, and. other places—Lord’s Cricket Ground, the innumerable haunts of the immortal Charles Dickens, the Cheshire Cheese, the George and Vulture in St. Michael’s Alley. Oxford street. Regent street. Bond street, the shopping centres of London, the Old Lady of threadneedle street, the Bank of England, and London’s underground _ railways—what a fascination for visitors. This and more—with the return sea trip by alternative routes can be had at a remarkably low cost. Full’ particulars of itinerary can be obtained from Mr Thomas Ritchie, P.O.
