THE VICE-REGAL PRESENT TO QUEEN MAKEA AT RAROTONGA. An Interesting function took place in the presence of a large public gathering at Rarotonga, when the Resident Commissioner (Captain Smith) presented to Queen Makea a photograph of Lord Plunket in an ornate silver frame, which His Excellency had sent to Her Majesty. The native troops will be noticed in two conipanics, each about fifty strong. They have lately been organised by the Commissioner, and are “armed" with wooden guns with which they are greatly pleased, and have already become very efficient in their drill.
