There is on view in London at the Regent street establishment of Messrs Stewart Dawson, Ltd., the rnagnificent piece of plate which the Freemasons of New Zealand are to present to Lord Plunket on his forthcoming retirement from the position of Governor of New Zsaland. It is a thing of rare beauty and exquisite workmanship. Competent authorities declare that no finer piece of silver work has ever gone out of London. The whole work weighs 1000 ounces of solid silver. Maori ornamentation, copied from the best examples, is a striking feature, the rich effect of which is brought out by gilding in a way that silver could alone not have freen done.
