The death of Queen Mary, in March, brought to a close the long life of a beloved and venerated lady who was the widow of one British king, the mother of two others, and the grandmother of our present Queen Elizabeth. She was aged 85. Queen Mary's death is mourned by the Maori people, in whose affections she had a special place—after her visit to New Zealand as Duchess of Cornwall and York in 1901, when she was given a great reception at a gathering of the tribes at Rotorua.
