PRINCE'S VISIT.
N.Z. FUNCTION. SUGGESTED CEREMONY. NEW WELLINGTON STATION. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Although the functions to be attended by Prince George, during his coming visit to New Zealand, have yet to be arranged, there is reason to believe that he will be invited to lay the foundation stone of the new Wellington railway station building. Several reasons have been advanced why the Prince should perform the ceremony. It was his father, King George V., who laid the foundation stone of the present railways administrative block, when in New Zealand as the Duke of Cornwall and York, in 1901. An additional reason is that the new railway buildings will be the largest and most important State undertaking in course of construction at that time.
