WELLINGTON, NEw ZEALAND, Aug. 90.
On Thur sday evening, August 10, at 7
p. m, We steamed into tho harbor OF
Auckland. After saying goodbye to
the friends OF our twenty days voyage,
and having II baggage examined in
the custom house, We repaired to Con
din's Grand Hotel, on the top OF u hill
overlooking the city and harbor-a new
hotel, well kept and comfortable in all
its appointments. We we're about re.
firing when the card OF Mr.. Wilson
skeen. II reporter OF the New Zenland
Herald, was brought to our room, and
We could not refuse, even ut the late
hour, to admit n newspaper II We
had quite Il lengthy interview in rola-
ton to our mission to the colonies,
which wo found correctly reported in
the morning paper. 1t being winter in
this latitude we were greatly surprised
when We went to tho breakfast room to
see on q long table eight large vases
filled with beautiful bouquets OF callia
lilies and other flowers.
Auckland isa beautiful city OF some
60,000 inhabitants, and was formerly the
capital OF tho colony. Her streets arc
well paved, and many elegant residences
and imposing business blocks arc to be
seen. The larscst and most costly
planning mill south OF the equator has
recently been completed, with every
modern improvement, purchased in tho
United States. Beautiful, we'll kept
parks are here, and

coach. We lett on the g:35 train ior
Okoroirc, l3l miles distant. The coun-
try for some miles from Auckland is q
beautiful farming and sheep country,
with many comfortable looking home
steads. At one point on tho road You
sec a waterfall of some 800 feet pouring
over the mountain. In the distance it
is n beautiful sight.
) At 5 p. N. We reached Okoroire. We
were met by Mr.. Crosby, who drove us
three and a half miles to Mr.. ~Isaacs's
e hotel, where are hot springs and
+ hot baths. Here we spent the night.
At s a. m. We started for Rotorua, 80
miles distant. through 4 wild, romantic
country. Just here my power OF de-
scription fails me. To those who have
spent time in cultivating ferns in any
part OF the world, l would say, could
they travel over this 80 miles and SEQ
these ferns they would forever abandon
in disgust any further attempt at their
cultivation,
