SOUTH CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION COMPETITION RESULTS A Flag: match played on the Aorangi lawns on Thursday between Aorangi and Geraldine resulted in a win for the home team by 5 games to 3. Scores (Aorangi names first).—

AS GERMANS SEE US The world having been expressing opinions about men and affairs in Germany, it was refreshing to listen to Mr and Mrs Alfred Kummerle, of Brandenburg, Germany, expressing friendly views upon New Zealand, New Zealanders and customs. In an interview with the "New Zealand Free Lance" the visitors, who have spent two months motoring 4000 miles in the North and South Isjands before the wool sales, delivered some opinions and made some telling criticism of a friedly nature. “We have had some funny experiences about hotels,” said Mr Kummerle, who. like his wife, speaks three languages fluently. "I really thin* you should have an hotel school in New Zealand.” "Another thing," said Mrs Kummerle. "Fish—even at the lake resorts we never had flsh caught locally —never a trout, never an eel!” "Yes, all sea fish,” said Mr Kummerle, "and New Zealand teems with trout, and look here, you talk about depression. Eels! New Zealand’s full of them and yet New Zealanders don't touch them—one of the finest fish. Should be a great source of cheap nourishment—a delicacy." "Yes, in Germany and Holland we cut them up and cook them so even the skin melts in your mouth,” said Mrs Kummerle. "Here’s a recipe— Cut up the eels and use plenty of butter—oh. how cheap it is here!— lemons and plenty of salad herbs, pepper and salt to cover the eels in a casserole. Put the lid on and put in the oven to cook for an hour. Delicious gravy. Done that way there’s no muddy flavour whatever." "We have met nothing but kindness, warm-hearted people everywhere. There’s no stiffness about people here,” said Mrs Kummerle.
