SOUTHERN ALPINE SCENERY
LECTURE AT REMUERA “All the big peaks of the Southern Alps have Deen conquered in the first place by NeAv Zealanders, who have learned mountaineering in their own country,” said Professor R. AI. Algie in the course of his lecture on “Mountaineering,” at the Remuera Librarv last night. “New Zealand has more charms to the square mile than any other country in the ■world,” continued the lecturer, “but New Zealanders do not always realise the fact.”
The impressive grandeur of the snow-clad peaks and mighty glaciers of the Southern Alps was sho\\-n in a comprehensive series of lantern slides in conjunction \\-ith the address. Professor Algie’s account of his own mountaineering experiences and his comments on the views shoAvn on the screen were particularly interesting.
