Rather tired after a strenuous month in Australia, the most Rev. Dr. C. F. D ’Arc}', Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, arrived from Sydney by the Wanganella to spend three weeks’ holiday in New Zealand before returning homo by way of San Francisco and Panama Canal. Archbishop D’Arcy represented the Church of the Homeland at the Bishop Broughton centenary celebrations in Sydney, and he decided that while in this part of the world he would visit New Zealand, in which he has long been interested. He desires as much as anything to see the Southern Alps, for in his younger days he was an enthusiastic mountaineer.
