IAMrC JAIVI LO MOTOR-CYCLE SKEATES & WHITE LTD. Auckland Provincial Distributors, 48 FORT STREET AUCKLAND ML w v: \ A Toast to 1120. Mr. Chairman Gentltanen t I have been asked to propose a toast to Water* the best and purest thing that was ever made ... I have seen water tumbling down the mountain sides in cascades of liquid silver, purling over pebbles and mossy stones ... I have seen water in teardrops on the sleeping lids of infancy: I have seen it trickling down the wrinkled face of age ... I have seen water storm the earth with a bombardment of hailstones, to the accompaniment of lightning flashes and the thunder of the heaven s artillery ... I have iseen water in sparkling dewdrops on tiny blades of grass, flashing like polished diamonds as the morning sun bursts with its resplendent beauty over the eastern hills . . . I have seen water in maddening cataracts crash over Niagara in its mad, tumultuous stampede to gain the broad and mighty ocean, on whose bosom float the battleships of the world ... I have seen water in limpid, langourous lagoons, warm and sensuous, on whose emerald surface floats water lilies of jade and crimson ... Mr. Chairman—Gentlemen j I repeat, that Water, the best and purest thing that was over made, as a beverage is a complete and utile* failure.
