PRESENTATIONS.

The services of Miss E. Callender and Mr Thornaa Callender, daughter and grandson of the late Mr Thomas Callender (late secretary of the Electric and Junction Electric G.D. Companies), in connection with these two companies have been recognised in a. practical manner by the directors. On Saturday last the chanman of directors of the two companies (Mr W. T. Talboye) and Mr Joseph M'George presented Miss Callendei with a handsome gold chain, mad* fiom gold won by the Electric dredge, and at the same time expressed satisfaction of the directors of both companies for the help she had given her late father and the interest she had always taken in the affairs of the company, as well as the unfailing courtesy she had extended to all. It was thought that the presentation would servo to remind her of the great appreciation in which both directors and shareholders held her father, the esteem in which he was held by aJI who knew him, and the sympathy felt for the family in their loss. Mr Thomas Callender was the lecipient of a gentleman's dressing case, with a silver plate bearing the following inscription. — "Presented to Mr Thomas Callender by the Electric and Junction Electric Companies; August, 1902." The Chairman said that the remarks with reference to Miss Callender equally applied to Mr Callender. The directors felt they had lost good and faithful servants, who had had the interest of the companies at hea-rt, and he trusted the recipient would never forget the position of.i-espect and esteem held by his grandfather, in whose steps he could not do better than tiy to 'ollow. Mr Talboys wished both recipients a long life and a prosperous career. Mr Joseph M'George expressed the feeling that the companies fully endorsed what had been said by flic chairman. He had enjoyed majiy happy hours in a business way in the office of the companies carried on under the late Mr Calender's management, and expressed the hope that he would yet have Ihe pleasure of seeing Miss Cillendt-r and Mr Callender under similar circumstances.
