Sir Harry Lauder
<£> OPINION OF NEW/ZEALAND. — 1 . I WARM WELCOME 'IN DOMINION. By Telegraph—Copyright—Press Assn. NEW YORK, April 15. Sir Harry Lauder arrived with much to say of his 60,000 mile world tour but he had most to say about New Zealand, which he travelled from end to end to pursue his hobby of fishing. He said he caught two sharks and a cartload of trout, and added: “New Zealanders are most hospitable. I met many of my own people there and if I had accepted all invitations to stay with Duncan MacDonalds, Sandy MacDougalls and Peter MacTavishes, I -would not be in America yet.” On being asked if New Zealand was “dry,” he replied, T tell you how it is. Some places there are ‘dry’ and some are ‘wet,’ but the difference is that in ‘dry’ territory they get it in barrels and in ‘wet’ territory, they get it in pints.” Sir Harry Lauder sails by the Mauretania on April 30 for Dunoon, on the Clyde.
