Perry, President of the Royal Agricultural Society, Hon. W. Nosworthy and Mr J. A. Nash, M.P., President of the Manawatu Agricultural and Pastoral Association. Occasion was taken to farewell His Excellency, who was presented with an address from the Manawatu A. and P. Association. Lord Jellicoe was also presented with a life membership badge of the Royal Society.
