New Tourist Route.

Mr G. AV. 0. Moon, the agent of the Tourist Department in Christchurch, who with Mr E. 11. Montgomery, the Department's Auckland agent, returned to Greymouth last week from a visit to South Westland, predicts that there will be a large influx of tourists to the Coast during the months that the International Exhibition is open. Although the present hotel accommodation in the southern part of the district is not quite satisfactory, it- is understood that it will, in some instances at least, be remedied before next tourist season sets in. As the result of the visit of the Tourist Department's agents it is quite likely (says the “Argus”) that a great difference will be made in the tours on the Coast mapped out for visitors. Hitherto many visitors by coach from Christchurch have come no nearer Greymouth or Hokitika than Stillwater Junction, whence they have gone northward to Reefton and thence either to AAestport or Nelson. In future stress "ill probably be laid by the Department on the wonders of South Westland and the beauties of the eoaeh drive from Jackson's to Kumara. Round Colony—Graphic
