Two oyclists from Wellington en route to Rotorua had an experience at Waikaremoana which they are not likely soon to forget. Going up the road they got lost and had to camp out all last Friday-night. On seoing smoke at a distance on Saturday morning they mfide for it, ana brought up at Mr James’ accommodationhouse in time for breakfast. Xney presented a very striking and rugged appearance, with their clothes tied tightly round their bodies with flax to keep the draught out, certuiniy the combined costume would create a sensation on Thorndon Fsplanade. Going on to tho Lake they made their way to Hopurahine, and after vainly trying to proceed to Kuatahuna they found themselves back at the start-ing-point. They returned with a boating party, stayed the night near the accom-modatioii-house, and left with a guide on Thursday, being determined to carry out their resolve to reach Rotorua and Auckland. As soon as tho few remaining miles of road are formed there will bo no need for guides, and tourists will be able to ride, drive, or bike. —Guardian. The Wairoa Guardian of January 2nd states: —Captain Feruey, one time in tho Napier-Mohaka trade, who is placing a boat on Lake Waikaremoana for tho convenience of tourists, left Rapier on Monday morning in the Tuhoe, but owing to the gale blowing he had to put back. He started again on Tuesday and reached the heads at 9 p.m., after a passage of ten hours, with the wind all round the compass. Captaiu Ferney anchored until daylight on Wednesday morning, when the pilot went out and assisted to bring the boat in. She is a good and safe tuliing and sailing boat, and her sternpost is sufficiently strong to receive the shaft of an oil-engine, which will be fitted in if the trade warrants it. The Tuhoe was despatched to Waikaremoana on Wednesday afternoon on a dray, and she will be ready for hire on the Lake on Saturday morning. Any tourists desiring to send luggage or stores to any part of tho Lake should apply for terms to Captaiu Ferney or J. R. Phillips. We have no doubt the Tuhoe will bo an acquisition to those boating on the Lake, and if she behaves as she did on Tuesday when she flew like a bird with a strong north-westerly wind, she will be doubly so.
