TRIP TO DAWSON FALLS.
To the Editor. Sir,—l notice in a local in your paper of Tuesday morning that a girl of eight had walked from the North Bouse to Dawson Falls and back The trip is not a hard one to make and tine distance is not nine miles, but six miles fifty-two chains. The trip to the top. of the mountain is a far harder trip, and one of my boys was on th# top when he was eight and since then a child of seven has been to the top, and on one occasion an old gent of about seventy with hie granddaughter of six went to the top and back in less than seven hours. This is far harder work than the trip to Dawson's, as the little girl's friends would find out if they took on this trip Any one would think from your local that the trip to Dawson's was a hard one. On the contrary, it is a comparatively easy one and*l have made the trip from the North House to Dawson's with a party (of .whom six were ladies), and the time taken was 3 hours to Dawson's and 2% hours on the return tripThere are hundreds of children in New Plymouth who would think nothing of the trip.—l am, etc., A CORRESPONDENT.
