In onr dlstreee In 1893 New Zealand sent n» eomo £18,000— a noble mark of generosity and sympathy ; we may not be able to ' do as mnoh In return, but we oan at least show that we are not unmindful of the I favors we have received. 1 The proceeds of the anniversary of the Foreit Home Lodge of Oddfellows amounted to £7 Bs, which sum has been firwarded to the treasurer of the flood relief fund.
