TAURANGA LADIES’ GIFT TO THE DUCHESS OF YORK.
A Very handsome album from the ladies of Tauranga was presented privately to the Duchess, of Cornwall by Lady Ranfurly at Government House on June 11. In recognition of this Mrs Maxwell, “The Elms,” Tauranga, received the following telegram: — “Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall and York desires me to express her grateful thanks to you and the ladies of Tauranga for their very handsome book, containing photographs of your town and district, which she will greatly value. She very much admires the beautiful woodwork and design of the. book.—Lady Mary Lygon, Lady-in-Waiting.” The cover of the album was of inlaid New Zealand woods, with silver shield and clasp, very artistically designed and engraved. The binding was in blue morocco. The twenty-four photographs contained in the album were the work of Mrs Mary Humphreys, Tauranga.
