COOK'S COTTAGE
FORMALLY HANDED OVER.
MELBOURNE, October 15.
Captain Cook's cottage from Great Ayton, Yorkshire, came into the keeping of the people of Victoria yesterday. Built 178 years ago, the cottage was transported to Melbourne and reconstructed in Fitzroy Gardens.
It is a Centenary gift from Mr. Russell Grimwade, a member of a Victorian pioneer family. The cottage has been reassembled in an old English garden similar to its erstwhile setting.
