THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL
BOAT-BUILDING INSPECTED VISIT TO WELLINGTON " The Governor-General, Viscount Galway, and Viscountess Galway made an informal but thorough visit of inspection yesterday morning of a number of the ship-building yards on the waterfront and also of timber yards. The party included their son, the Hon. Simon Monckton-Arundel, and Sir Standish O'Grady Roche, A.D.C. The premises visited were those of Charles Bailey and Sons, Limited, W. G. Lowe and 6on, Limited, and R. Lidgard, and the party also inspected the yards of the Kauri Timber Company, Limited. There was a great deal of activity going on in all the yards, and Their Excellencies showed the keenest interest in all the varied work they saw. His Excellency left last evening by the limited express for Wellington, where he will to-day open the annual conference of the New Zealand Farmers' Union. He will return to Auckland to-morrow morning. Viscountess Galway will to-day pay a visit to the Auckland Girls' Grammar School, in Howe Street.
Captain A. G. Heber-Percy, A.D.C. to the Governor-General, left for Gisborne yesterday to spend a few days' holiday.
