NEW WINTER RESORT.

RUSH FOR NEW ZEALAND “Within a week I have met no fewer than three people who purposed wintering in New Zealand but have had to exercise Hobson’s choice and select another mild resort in which to escape our London rigours,” says a writer in The Englishman, Calcutta. The reason in each case was the same. All berths on boats now leaving, or due to leave within the next few weeks, are booked right up. “What the precise explanation of this rush to New Zealand may be just at this time I have not heard, but possibly a great many New Zealand cousins, who came over here for the British Empire Exhibition, are now returning home. And it is even conceivable that recent specimens of our winter climate, with the last ‘London particular’ as a grand finale, have impelled our visitors to stay not upon the order of their going, but go at once by the earliest boats. Anyhow, New Zealand as a winter resort is growing in favour, but in the case of two of the disappointed would-be travellers I have mentioned, while one is off to Teneriffe, the other has consoled himself with Ceylon.”
