KING AND THE DOMINIONS.
VISIT TO ART GALLERY. LONDON, March 19. The King and Queen paid a surprise visit to the Dominions Art Exhibition this morning, and were keenly interested. In the course of their tour of tbe galleries they recalled visits to many of the spots depicted, notably in Canada and New Zealand. When the King was shown the portrait of Sir James Allen's blind son he pointed out that Sir Thomas Mackenzie's son was also blinded in the late war. He added: "What a strange coincidence that tbe sons of two New Zealand High Commissioners should be blind." — (Reuter—"Sun.")
