(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Thursday
Mr S. T. Paviour Smith, who was in charge of the cheese exhibit in the New Zealand Court at the Wembly Exhibition, while on his return to New Zealand conceived the idea of seme New Zealand factory specially manufacturing a cheese for presentation to His Majesty the King. He approached the Tiratu Soldier Settlers' Dairy Company, of Dannevirkc, which factory is owned and conducted by returned soldiers, who readily agreed with the scheme. A cheese was manufactured with meticulous care, and a duplicate was made jn order that this .might be exhibited in the office of the High Commissioner in the Strand. The cheese was shipped Home by s.s. Turakina, and Mr Paviour Smith has now received advice from Sir James Allen that he presented the cheese to His Majesty on Christmas Eve, and that the present from the returned soldiers of the Tiratu settlement had been graciously accepted by King George.
