Speaking at the luncheon of the Hamilton Rotary Club, theUovernorGoneral recalled a somewhat unnerving experience which befell him on his previous visit. After opening tho Waikato Winter Show he was' walking up the street when he was threatened with an attack from a bull. Fortunately there was a heavy telegraph pole between him and the animal, and ho was able to dodge round it and take refuge in a xhop. “This,” said His Excellency, ‘•was au occasion when tho relationship between town and country was brought very forcibly before my notice. One of the problems of the country was brought home to me, and I have to confess that tho country won.’’ (Laughter.)
