OVERSEAS CLUB.
GREETINGS TO THE KING. Tho Wellington branch of tho Overseas Club is Bending a cablegram to his Majesty tho King fa-day, expressing tho loyaltv and devotion of members in this part of tho world, on the occasion of Empiro Day (May 24). The Overseas Olub is becoming a very powerful organisation throughout the British Empire. The club has now just upon 90,000 members, and there are about 000 members in the Wellington district. Tho names of all memlwrs are forwarded te Cannonta Houso, London (the club's headquarters) by (ho local secretary (Captain Barclay), and thorn tho register is always open for inspection by members. Unity of Empire being a plank in tho club's constitution, it is not unusual for a member in Wellington to receive communications from oihera in remote parts of the world giving or inquiring information, and exchanging "grips across the peas." Tho subscript' tion fixed by tho Wellington branch is 2s. (id. a year, but the payment even of that small sum is optional, and is only intended to cover working expenses. A stron? point, however, is made of the eligibility of a person for membership, and that is said to be the point that is giving the club—which was only formed in August, 1910—such a high ftnuding.
