I Mr Ha-cry Lauder, the music-hall artist, .is said to have been " snapshotted" at least 10,000 times by photographic amateurs while in New York. The Rotorua Times does "not see why Rotorua should not have week-end exour* siona regularly, the same as Queenstown has. Every week the excursion to the southern tourist resort brings in from 120 to 200 visitors. There is no reason why ar greater number should not be taken weeklj 1 to Rotorua.
