Their send off will, I feel sure, be ■nch as will reflect credit upon the city of Wellington and the colony generally. I hope you will take the naeesaary initiative steps to celebrate the occasion by calling a meeting of citizens to arrange a suitable programme, and I would suggest that Her Majesty's representative and Lady Banfurly be invited to be present on that date." A meeting has baen called for Monday after noon*
