"You have the, (finest scenery in I the .world in New Zealand, and your' volcanic wonders are in my opinion unequalled," said a London visitor, Mr P. E. Ellis, who has been on a three . months tour of the .Dominion; in speaking/to an Auckland ald" representative. "That he is competent;#to judg-e the merits of. the coutry ■■ fairly is. iborne. , out by fact that, he -has made extensive tours in Switzerland', Italy, France, Belgium, {Holland, Germany, -Servia,.Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Iceland, Norway, Bulgaria, and other countries. "The Sounds in the South Island are,", said Mr Ellis, "the most, magnificent I nave,. ever seen, and there is absolutely .no equivalent, not even in Ireland, to the marvellous thermal . district in the, vicinity .of Rotorua. Then - as to fhe ..agricultural aspect. The farmer. \in this .country is. re-' marfc'ably , progressive,, and can give many points to his English brother, both in regard to dairying and sheepfarming. As far as. the working man is concerned, I iknow of no other place where he is so well off and independent. But the capitalist — ah ! it is better for him to go elsewhere." ,
