ADAM LINDSAY GORDON MEMORIAL
| * | INVEILING IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY LONDON, May 11. There was an impressive ceremony in Westminster Abbey, which was well filled, at the unveiling of the Adam Lindsay Gordon memorial. The Archbishop of Canterbury, in his address, said: "Gordon's restless and fiery spirit finds home and peace in an Abbey memorial beside Tennyson and close to Coleridge and Wordsworth, who would surely generously welcome the voung horsebreakcr and steeplechaser as a brother poet. If poetry means the interpretation of life, Gordon was the true, if unofficial, Poet Laureate of Australian life."
