A MOTOR TRIP.

- Mr W. Lowry, writing from the i South Island, says:—"Just as I used to write at one time "somewhere in | France." I feel this address might a pplv to we in New Zealand, for w are "here to-day and gone to-niorrow. We are just about to leave Hokitika for Grevrnoutk, where we are to sing for two'nights and spend the week-end there, so we hope for good weather. Yesterday (.Saturday) we motored from Christchurch, a matter of 15S miles, and to our bitter disappointment it rained practically all day. and with a heavy. mist about we were destined to «C 0 vcrv little of the beautiful scenery Ikrough which we passed. Had it proved fine I think the South Island tor scenery would havc takcll firSf pltlCU "' our estimation, as up till now t think we like best the North Island, perhaps because we saw it in better weather. In Invereargill and Bluff we experienced tine weather, but Dunedin would not be kind to us, and our stay there was prolonged a day owing la floods. We are doing the West Coast by ear, and I understand yet there is more beautiful countrv through which to pass. e -U agree New Zealand is verily a beautiful nand, and already some of the party speak of a thousand acres aad a cow.' Now. what could be better than that this Company is to sing in Otalu the day previous to leaving for Australia. Naturally. I am very thankful and pleased that things are so. An hope is for fine weather and a bumper audience."
