Elaborate arrangements are being made to entertain the Party during j their stay so af to ensure their insight , into the conditions of the country and the people. | The visitors speak very highly of | their treatment in New Zealand. Lord Emrnott said he was struck with thcj extreme cordiality of the Xew Zea-; landers, who provided special trains. ; Their hotel and all other expenses were paid, and everybody wc mot re- 1 eeived ns in the kindest way.
