time. It is regrettable that so many of us are in need of being taught to be good New Zealanders. “Their Excellencies, through this, have established .themselves in Die i hearts of the people of this country, i We, the inhabitants, should rejoice in the characteristic features of New Zealand and take a pride in all forms of its native life. In teaching us this lesson, Lord and Lady Blcdisloe have done us all a great service. We thank them especially on this occasion for setting a good example 'to the community.”
