Sir,-I too read with dismay of the passing of Auckland Notebook. Also in temporary exile on the airy, wide-open plains of Southland, I had come to welcome its weekly gulps of well-remem-bered steam and humidity-not as so much "hot air," as "Closed Notebook" (of Wellington!) has suggested, but as refreshing draughts. One can only assume that your correspondent has some sort of personal grudge against the Queen City-could it be because the gaily-decked lady passed him coldly by? (And no wonder, if his stares were as rude as he intimates!) However, he does unwittingly pay us one compliment when he likens an Aucklander to a Cyclops. True, this character had an optical shortcoming, but he was also by way of being head and shoulders above his fellows.
