City ownd fish and vegetable markets
have recently been introduced. Public
swimming pools have been built for
those who prefer them to a plunge at
the beaches. Twelve parks and public
domains afford recreation spots.
Sunday is indeed a day of rest in
Auckland. No business of any kind is
open and the people spend the day in
the open. I hired a motor car and visited
several places Of interest in the vicinity
Most Of the hills have historical interest
in that they were scenes Of battles in the
early days when Auckland was one Of
the centers of the warfare between rival
tribe Of Maoris and later between the
whites and the Maoris. OF them all
perhaps the most famous is One-Tree
hill. 1t WAS there that Maungakieh Pa.
the most formidable Of all the old Maori
forts. was twice taken by enemy tribes.
once IL fell before the crafty proves Of
Chief Hongi. who has been called the
Maori Napoleon, and who put to death
hundreds Of the defenders Of the fort
when he took it. Years later Maunga-
kieki was captured by another old war
dog. re Whaakiaki. who also staged a
massacre. The caves of One-Tree Hill
stiu occasionally yield up the bones Of
the victims Of its bloody days.
In spite of its natural advantages,
Auckland was Stunned by the white man
long after the bleak shores in the north
end OF the peninsula bad been settled.
Finally, however. a small settlement
spraug ur there and the capital, which
up 20 then had been located at Russell
was moved to Auckland. Still later
Auckland lost the capital to Wellington,
which has the more central location, and
which took advantage Of the fact that
gold rushes had well nigh depopulated
Auckland and robbed it If its honor as
the center Of population OF New Zealsdn.
SUMNER TIME
But ONLY ONE FLY,
This is being written in January, which
corresponds to our month Of July at
home. Auckland is about as far south
of the equator as Washington, D. c, is

channel between towering headlands and
sheer, forbiddiug cuffs which do not re-
veal that concealed IN them are huge
guns calculated to sweep an enemy feet
from the waters The ship suddenly
rounds North Head into the harbor
proper and Auckland, on the south shore
Of WaitenAta Harior. comes into view
One thing is impressed upon your mind,
and later upon the muscles of your legs
the city is built upon hills. Auckland
does not present magnificent sight from
the water. In fact, it IS rather common
place.
The waterfront is not a thing Of
beauty. Only a few years ago II was
mudnats and the authorities are still too
busy retaining land to add to the small
area Of level ground In the city to devote
much attention u beaudfyiug it with
esrlanades or boulevards such as grace
the water edges of older hRrbor cities.
AS fast as the land IS made II IS being
taken up with wharves aud docks and
warehouses. The nine wharves which
now are in use are too few to care for
the shipping which makes Auckland the
trade centor Of tho Pacific Islands and
nearest big city to the United states,
Canada and South America enabled II
last year 20 set record OF passing I'm
ports increased by two and one-half
million pounds tS12, 100000 over Its
previous high mark, bringing the total
ur to around S5O.O0O,O0O The exports
from Auckland In 1920, were IN the
nei2hbOrhood Of Sj0.000OOO.

north Of it and the climate at this time
of the year is splendid In our hotel
the windows are up night and day. and,
strange to say, there isn't a screen in the
place. They are not needed, either, for
one lonely fly is all that has invaded my
bedroom.
The residents of the city are not wear
ing the thin, light clothing which we
associate with July back home. 1 have
seen only a few men who left of their
vests. The women wear loose, full
skirts which hang modestly to their
shoe tops and shield their faces from
the sun with wide-brimmed hats which
used to be SO popular with American
women years ago but are seldom seen
now.
I like the people Of Auckland, they ara
so friendly From the official who thanks
you for submitting your passport to the
waiter whose proffer, of vegetables you
have just declined, they are petite in the
extreme. There isn't any display Of OBJ
jectiOnable authority on the part Of those
who hold it. The clerks in the stores
are not snippy or cross. The auto driver
who brings his car to a Earring stop be-
cause you have become confused with
the travel of traffic on the left side OF
the street does not curse you, but smiles
instead.
Polite. agreeable and accommodating as
they are, they do not yield to American
hurry. Your laundry won't come back
inside of week. suits which need press
ing at once will be returned in a couple
Of days if you are insistent enough,
that hat that needs cleaning will spend
ten days in the hat shop. DO 1t Now
the motto which hangs on the office walk
back home, or the pep-inspiring Step
Lively" doesn't apply down here. 1t
doesn't seem at all out Of place either.
Auckland is restful and nerve quieting
and it is no hard task TO take q nap
a couple of times a day and sleep sound
ly at night in the bargain.
l went shopping last night. A hat Of
a well known American make, for which
S15 would be asked at my hatter's in
Chicago, cost me So here. malscca
walking stick. for which he asked me
S25, was bought here for s.. 65. 1t seems
true of most of the American made goods
here that they sell for a half. even after
the duty has been paid, that they do
at home
I saw an instance of the true sports
manship Of the people here when crowds
thronged the pier to bid the American
tennis champions, who had wiped up the
local players, goodby, and cheered them
to the ship as their ship pulled from
the wharf.
