Lord IJanfmly .said: "It i.s a matter of history tlic.t in this locality Captain Cook first trod the shores of New Zealand, and added by his discovery one of the first possessions of onr British Empire. Your exports of wool and mutton testify to the fact that the name (Poverty Bay) given by thai, great explorer was, to say the least, inappropriate. I trust that the further development of this district may continue on as ajnjilu a scale as it lias during the past 10 years."
