VICE-REGAL VEST' THE SAILORS' FRIEND SOdTETT. His. Excellency the Governor-General showed his interest in sailors and their welfare by a visit yesterday, morning to the building in Whitmore street. Mr Moore, missioner,. weloomed the distinguished visitor, who was attended by Major Haviland, and there were also present the committee of the Society. v A most exhaustive survey of the building was made by His Excellency, the missioner explaining the various appointments. His Excellency approved warmly of what he saw—of the three billiard tables that keep the men happily occupied, of the secluded writing lounge •—complete with letter paper, envo- , lopes, stamps and a posting box, and of the labour-saving seats. After inspecting the memorial brasses and- the tablet commemorating the war services, he commented on the excellent variety of illustrated papers and reading matter laid out on the tables, and was particularly impressed with the church with its roll of honour arid brasses. He was sure many resir dents of Wellington did not know how fine and spacious it was. Particular notice was accorded to the piano, whose once white ivory teeth are now mostly down to bare gums. But it was originally a tribute from the police in recognition of the big decrease in drunkenness amongst sailors in port, through the work of the mission. ' It still gallantly does its duty—under tactful management. On departing, His Excellency exEed his admiration of the fine ing, its very complete equipment, especially its facility for the hospitality which is such a feature of the mission. He had never seen a better mission in the many' places he had visited. It was worthy of the city and of .the splendid harbour. He could suggest no better thing than looking aftei the well-being of seamen making long voyages. . . Hv congratulated the mission and! the committee on the work being done and accepted tlieir invitation to preside at the next .annual meeting. ' Included in the gathering were Colonel Campbell, Captains Johnson, Macindoe, Post, Hooker. Sir John Luke, the Hon. T. W. Hislop,. Messrs O Turrell (New Zealand Shipping Co.), C Gruchy (Commonwealth and Dominion Line). BevanMShaw Savill), H. E. Nicholls, .T. W. Jack. Hunter Jack, Leigh Hunt, and W. E. Fuller.

The varied coloured, lights, streamers, strings of pink roses, festoons, lycopodium, gave a piost artistic effect.
