Among other things are 200 cases of game and poultry, a quantity of venison from the Royal parks, many pheasants sent from Sandringham by the King, who also sent all the bed linen from the Royal yacht, as well as the glassware required, which is specially fine.

SUGGESTION REVIVED

(AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLB ASSOCIATION.)

LONDON, January 4,

The "Daily News," in a leader wishing the Duke and Duchess of York Godspeed, says: "It will be an interesting sequel to the visit if it should give form and substance in Australia to the recent speculative suggestions for the appointment of a Royal Governor-Gen-eral. The newly-defined status of the Dominions makes this a possibility in practical politics. Even if the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York were not available for such a position other eligible members of the Royal family might be thoroughly acceptable to public opinion in Australia."
