BANQUET TO THE HON. J. McKENZIE.
[bt telegraph.—press ASSOCIATION.] Cnp.isTrnn.cH, Monday. The Minister for Lands, who is staying at Hanmer Plains, was entertained at a banquet at Jollie's Pass Hotel on Friday night by the settlers of Amuri. There was a very large gathering. Mr. McKenzie, in replying to the toast of his health, avoided reference to political affairs, and confined himself to thanking the settlers for their hospitality, and remarking on the probable development of Hanmer as a health resort. Several of the largest landholders in the district- complimented the Minister on the work done, by the Department in suppressing the rabbit nuisance, and stated that all danger to the district from rabbits was now past. ______^_^__
