A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
SIR H. LAUDER'S TRIBUTE.
"I was on Blount Egmonfc two weeks past last Sunday, away up to the Government House there, just at the foot of the mountain, and it was such a clear day, and the perspective so wonderful, that wo could look across tho valley and seo that other great mountain, Ruapehu, and the snow on top of it, I believe over a hundred miles away," said Sir Harry Lauder at a Rotary Club luncheon. "It was as plain as if I were just looking across the street hero. You have got an awful lot to bounce about in New Zealand," he declared, "an awful lot to uphold. It is a marvellously beautiful country." Ho spoke in high terms of tho scenic attractions of Rotorua and tho Southern Lakes, saying that ho did not think that he had ever been to a more beautiful spot in his lifo than Queenstown, with its lake and its wonderful rnngo of mountains, "The Remarkaides."
