"I have resided in South -Africa, and I know Australia well, but it'would be difficult to find a more magnificent stretch of land.than that which lies between In/tvercargill and and which reached an astounding " standard at ,-Hamilton."', Stating Jthat.:-he was im- " pressed by the carrying capacity of the . pastures, Mr. Mackrell-added that the /quality of New. Zealand butter, in his '■.opinion, excelled 'the Australian: product, while the lambs1 were of as fine -'type..: .■■■'■■ '■•'■••..•
