THE PROTECTIONIST BANQUET.
[BY TELEGRAPH.— CORRESPONDENT.
Wellington, Monday. The New Zealand Times, referring to some of the Auckland exhibits at the banquet, says : —" Messrs. Wilsons and Horton, of Auckland, exhibited specimens of their high-class work in the shape of coloured and varnished labels, show cards, etc. The tea used at the banquet was grown and prepared in Auckland. It made a very fair liquor. A tea expert would describe it as 'a clean, thin liquor, with pure aroma, pleasantly pungent, and with a malty flavour, not quite as brisk as an Indian tea, and resembling a new season's Kaisou Kongou.' The tinned fruits made into pies with ilour from the Auckland Roller ills and J. C. Firth's mills were as delicious as if made from the fresh fruit, the flavour and colour being excellent, and devoid to a great extent of that ' flabby ' taste so often noticed in some brands of American canned fruits. The Whangarei oranges, grown and contributed by Mr. H. Dobbie, manager of the hangarei-Kamo railway, were in good condition and of a most delicious flavour, proving unmistakably that the Northern portion of our colony is well adapted for semi-tropical products."
