In a hurried interview with a reporter, he said: “ 1 am proud—(hill is about all I can say about it; hut. really, it has brought home to me, especially your New Zealand Industries’ Court, the wonderful industrial advance made by New Zealand in a way your cannot get, even by travelling round the country. II is almost miraculous to think that all Ibis lias been done in loss than three generations. Ihe time spent, here is worth more than weeks of travelling. I should like to put the whole week in at the Exhibition. T have been very much impressed.”
