LOYALTY OF MAORI RACE
GOVERNOR-GENERAL’S MESSAGE TO KING (mess isaociiTio* teleorau.) WELLINGTON, December 15. > The Governor-General (Lord Galway) has sent the following message to the King:— “Representatives of the Maori race, including officers and men of the Maori battalion, assembled yesterday on the occasion of the opening of the Maori pavilion at .the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition, which coincided with Your Majesty’s birthday, desire me to tender on behalf of the Maori people of New Zealand their respectful good wishes, together with an expression of their unabated devotion and loyalty to Your Majesty’s Throne and person and of their determination to lend all assistance in their power to the Empire’s cause.”
A novel postal service at the Centennial Exhibition is creating considerable interest among visitors, who are able to post letters at the top of the 175-foot tower. The specially designed post marking stamp gives letters posted at this box appropriate value as a memento of a visit to the exhibition. All letters are specially post-marked by the Centennial Exhibition Post Office in the Government Court.
