A handsome inkstand of great historic value has been presented to the Auckland Chamber of Commerce by Mr F. A. Hellaby, the immediate past president. At a meeting of the council last week the president, Mr A. 6. Lunn, thanked the donor for his gift. The inkstand is made from timber which formed part of Acacia Cottage, the residence of the late Sir John Logan Campbell. Acacia Cottage was one of the first houses to be built in Auckland, and occupied the site in O'Connell street where the Acacia Buildings now stand. Sir John himself helped to carry the timber up from the beach, and to build the cottage.
