PRINCE OF WALES’ TOUR

EXTRACTS FROM MAGAZINE SOME VERY FRANK COMMENTS. PRAISE FOR AUCKLAND HARBOUR. (United Press Association.) Received February 3, 5.5 p.m. SYDNEY, February 3. The Sun newspaper reproduces extracts from the magazine of 11..M.5. Renown, covering the Prince’s visit. The. magazine is published by Hie Auslirdasian Publishing Company, of Melbi. nrnc, and was edited by Commander Rogers, but apparently' it was largely written by Lieut.-Commander Rolleshn. The tune of the magazine is extremely frank, and some of the extracts are decidedly racy. Referring to the Auckland visit the magazine says: “Auckland one might briefly describe as poor, but happy, and very ready to help us to be happy.” Wellington was solemn and restrained ai d inclined to regard with grave suspicion any attempt on anybody’s part lo overstep its bounds of propriety to ary slightest degree. Christchurch wa« also poor and happy, but suffering a little from British reserve.” Another extract reads; “One must be honest to be a historian of any sort and, at the risk of giving offence, it must be stated that we put Auckland )■ irbour before Sydney for beauty if not for utility, and Rio of course is immeasurably ahead of both.” The magazine will he on sale in Sydney to-day.
