LORD RUTHERFORD.
PORTRAIT FOR NEW ZEALAND.
WELLINGTON, Saturday,
A suggestion was made by Ills Excellency the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, to the Standing Committee of the New Zealand Institute, that a copy of the picture of Lord Rutherford recently painted by Birley,' and presented to the Royal Society by the Fellows of that society, be obtained for Wellington.
It was reported to the institute yesterday that the Board of Trustees of the National Art Gallery and Dominion Museum had been written to asking that Mr G. L. Stewart be authorised to collect subscriptions for the purchase of the picture, but the board considered the time was not opportune.
It was decided to approve of the collection of funds as proposed, and the hope was expressed that the board would be able to take up the matter later.
