NOTES ON TOUR.

Writing to us at the termination of a recent business tour, our travelling representative says: —l wish to tender my appreciation of the courtesy and assistance accorded mo throughout my visit to Nelson and district by Rev. Fathers Fay, S.M., and McGrath, S.M. Their kindly helpfulness showed unmistakably that they have the interests of our Catholic paper at heart. In connection with Church and Federation work, the necessity of the people having the Tablet the champion of their rights in their homes is consistently, advocated. As a consequence, I had but little difficulty in. substantially increasing the number of subscribers; as a matter of fact, upwards of 100 additional copies of the Tablet will henceforth circulate in this district as a result of a 10 days’ canvass. The run over to Takaka and Terakohe—Bo , miles by car, including the “Hill,” 3000 ft high, the road, by a circuitous route of 10 miles, rising 'to that altitude is one of the finest, I - have yet experienced. I had a look through <v the Golden Bay Cement Work**, and met there engaged a splendid ’ typo of Irishmen, 14? of, whom became subscribers. Our representative concludes -by again expressing his appreciation of the good time afforded him by the. priests and people of Nelson and surrounding ’' districts, and of his pleasure at making so many valued acquaintances. .... . , .. . .
