(Per United Phess Association.) OHBISTCHURCH, March 23. The Hop. T. Mackenzie was welco:r.o:l at a, large social gathering at Waiau last night.
He said ho had no sympathy with the cry 'that Ministers were too much in the country and too little in Wellington. .Ministers took their work with Hum, and he was sure they had the suppoit of the people in visiting the country.

He went en to' review the meat prospects throughout the world, and spoke very hopefully of the prospects of the woof tiacie.
