ROUND THE WORLD TRIP.
(Concluded from page 3.)
wished mo a safe journey— “and forgot send me (lie pliolo!” I came away with a higher opin°r <)'(' Ansfrnlinn native than i had previously had. The Sydney Roval Show is a mosi wonderful and interesting exhibition—the creates) agricultural show in the Umpire. There was un attendance of 130,000 the dav ur visited it. There were exhibits I com till the Stales and as for Hie industrial and other sections, they bee,car description. I’bc zo.o, art gallery and parks are most interesting and one could spend hours in each. As for places of amusement and pleasure they are lo be found all over the city. T visited the stadium on Saturday ni.cht to witness the contest for the welter-weight championship of .Mist ralia. I here was an nttond■‘•nee of 10,000. I) was a scene T shall not soon forget. The barracking was free and lurid and money was chancing - hands all around me.
In contrast, T attended a religions service in the Lyceum on Sunday evening - . The big building was packed out before the service commenced jand crowds were turned away. The service was most impressive and to hear the vast crowd -ing familiar hymns was most inspiring.
Called on the Government, agent. Air. Blow. Strange to sav he receives very little information about New Zealand happenings. This was very disappointing. The papers here do not receive or publish much New Zealand news, except to feature infantile paralysis. Our office should do more in the nature of propaganda. Sydney i- a great city with a populalinin almost equal to the whole of New Zealand.
1 could no| help noticing tin* diffidence and respect shown to ladies by the men on trams and in lifts. Wherever they appeared in the lifts the men immediately removed their hats. The news boys amused me they are cute youngsters and as sharp as needles.
There are plenty of crooks here who thrive on the unwary. Leave a parcel lor a few minutes out of reach and it disappears. A friend put bis camera by me for a few minutes on the ferry. I momentarily forgot it in moving away and when T turned to get it, it bad disappeared. After spending nine days in tliieity all too short a period, we embark on the “Ormuz” tomorrow, the loth. The weather throughout exec))) tor a few showers, lias been delightful.
