THE KING AND QUEEN.

ROYALTY AT WEMBLEY. AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND (Received 12 noon.) LONDON, August 12. Their Majesties the King and Queen spent three-quarters of an hour in the Australian pavilion, this being their first real visit this year. The King described Australia's new Wembley display as a wonderful effort. Listening to loud speakers' exposition of Australian resources and attractions for migrants, His Majesty laughingly said: "That's the right kiiid of stuff to give them! It was all-important that the people should be taught to trade Imperially.'' The pavilion authorities presented H.SL the Queen with a jewel box made of Australian wood. lI.M. the King was presented with a travelling rug of Australian wool, with a bridge set attachment in a wood case. The Queen was specially interested in the bakery and demonstrations of the U3e of Australian flour. They were im-pressed-with the model of Sydney Harbour, which recalled their visit of 1901. The King observed: "It is an exceptionally fine representation." Their Majesties then went on to the New Zealand pavilion the King remarking that it had greatly improved in comparison with last year. He complimented the authorities on having so successfully developed the artistic side. The Kincr was particularly interested in the wool exhibits, commenting on the friendly rivalry between Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in the world's wool supplies. The party also devoted a considerable time to tlie inspection of the butter, cheese, and frozen meat exhibits. The Queen was most impressed with Rotorua. of which she retains a distinct recollection.— (A. and N.Z.)
