“ Quito a lot of those who esune out to New Zealand in tlie ship Queen of Beauty took up land at 'Whangarei,” remarked one of those who celebrated the jubilee of the vessel’s arrival at Auckland last Saturday. “I do not want to insult any of those who were there in the early days,” ho said, smilingly, “ but at one time we did not have more than 17s in the whole settlement. If a man wanted a bag of potatoes in those days ho used to band over a ton of wood or something like that.”
