PRESENTATION TO MISS ARNABOLDI.

(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Auckland, April 20. A presentation of a testimonial and puree of sovereigns was made to-night at Hobson’s Rooms to Mias Arnaboldi, well known because of the recent hospital enquiry. There was a largo attendance, including manv ladies. Tho presentation was made by Mr C. E. Button, who said that thsy felt that MiBS Arnaboldi had displayed great heroisn and true Christian sympathy for the sick and afflicted. In replying Miss Arnaboldi said that she had no thought of public applause or personal gain when she laid her complaint before Dr McGregor. While thanking them for their testimonial, she thanked them also for their true-hearted sympathy with the sick and suffering in the hospitals, whose cause she had tried to plead in formulating the charges on which the enquiry waa based. She had put individual interest aside, and had thought only of the claims of suffering humanity and the publio good, and earnestly hoped that one result of the investigation would he a more careful and intelligent

supervision of the Auckland Hospital future. She thanked Mr Rees, M.H.R., who had gratuitously offered to appear on her behalf, and she also thanked the Auckland press for the able and courteous manner in which they had reviewed the snbjscfe. A resolution was passed expressing dissent from that part of the addendum to the Commissioners’ report which implied espionage on the part of Miss Arnaboldi. The purse contained 43 sovereigns.
