The reason that he did not visit the South Island more than once every two years, stated Bishop Bennett at the luncheon given on Tuesday by the Christchurch Rotary Club was that in numbers the race here was not very important as compared with the North Island natives. When visiting a pa, a fortnight ago, he told this to the Natives, whereupon one of them said to him, “Don’t’you judge us by our numbers. A Alaori Rugby team came here from the North Island and we beat them. The North Island has also been beaten by a South Island pakeha team. “That was enough,” stated the Bishop. “‘I said to them, ‘You Win. 1 will come here next year.’ ” (Laughter.)
