PORTRAIT OF KING PRESENTED
<» GIFT OF GOVERNOR-GENERAL (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.^ AUCKLAND, March 5. At the formal handing to the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron of an autographed portrait of the King, which was performed by the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe said the portrait was a speaking likeness of his Majesty. They might value it for many reasons; first, il was a portrait not only of their much loved King, but of a prince of yachtsmen, second, for more than 30 years they had enjoyed the prefix of "royal" to the title of their squadron—this was not enjoyed by all—and third, M s Majesty recognised that yachting in New Zealand was a democratic sport in which nearly every young man with a love of the sea could indulge. There was no rport in the Dominion with which his Majesty was more sympathetic. , "There is the portrait. God bless you, and good luck to you," concluded his Excellency.
