ADVERTISING THE DOMINION.

Speaking to a press representative at | Auckland, Dr. A. E. Sykes, an exNew Zealander, now holding a position at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in San Francisco, expressed the opinion that if New Zealand, wanted American tourists to be diverted to the Dominion two persons should be sent through the United States and Canada with limelight views of this country. He suggested that these" pictures might be shown one night free, and the next night at a small figure, which would defray expenses. He was convinced this would have a good effect. He was made anxious to come back to New Zealand some years ago by seeing some views exhibited at a camera club of beauty spots he had not visited when he lived here. He knew of at least 20 Americans who, having seen those same views, wanted to see the real, and over here. Americans were good spenders, and Dr. Sykes thought that his suggestion, if carried out, would not only lead to tourists coming here who had "done' all the sights elsewhere bat would induce a good class of emigrants to come and settle in New Zealand.
