A CHEERY REPLY
. > NOT FORGETTING BABY ' * 5 . '"Mr. Mayor, my Maori friends, ladies and gentlemen," began Sir Charles amidst deafening cheers and the singing of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." "I- thank you very heartily," he said when a break occurred in the applause "for what is apparently a typical welcome to Rotorua. I only wish Lady Kihgsford Smith" were here so that shfe might learn what a treasure she possesses." It was a great pleasure
for him to be in New Zealand again after an absence of four years. He had come in the same dear old machine. There had been a few alterations to her and like himself had been given a coat or two of paint, but otherwise she was just the same. What about the baby screeched an excited female? "Oh yes," said Sir Charles, "there has also been an addition to the home, and don't forget he weighs 9Jlbs." and with this cheery note he concluded his brief speech, recognising that the crowd had had a long wait for his arrival.
