VICTORIA LEAGUE.
AUCKLAND BRANCH FORMED. At a meeting of ladies held at Miss Morrison's, " Woodside," it was decided to form an Auckland branch of the Victoria League (a non-party English organisation of British men and women). ' •
This association is named the Victoria League in memory of her late Majesty Queen Victoria. The members hold themselves ready, as far as possible, to support and assist any scheme leading to more intimate understanding between ourselves and our fellow-subjects in our great colonies and dependencies. They also aim at promoting any practical work desired by the colonies tending" to the good of the Empire. '-''■ The league endeavours to become a centre for receiving and distributing information regarding the British dominions, and invites the alliance of, and offers help and cooperation to, such bodies of a similar nature as already exist or may hereafter be formed throughout the Empire. An important work undertaken by the league is the care of the graves of the soldiers wno fell in the .South African war. . j In order that those who are in sympathy with the movement may have an opportunity of becoming members of the league, it has been decided to hold a meeting on Friday, November 26, at 2.30 p.m. at St. Mary's .Parish Hall, Parnell (which the vicar has lent for the occasion). All members and intending members are cordially invited. \".'" '
