paid his respects to Lord PlunUtt the
governor of New Zealand and afterward
visited William A. Prickltt. the Am er loan
consul general. The governor and Mr.

The fleet steamed into Its anchorage hi
perfect formation. The day was bright
With sunshine nd the se shimmered !1ke a
Bheet of glass. The shores were lined
With 60.000 persons and the harbor was
potted with craft of excursionists. It
