A CENTENARY QUEEN.
Sir, —On the 28th of this month wo celebrate the 100 th anniversary of the birth of the first white girl in these islands. I think her name was a Miss Hall. Now, if we could induce a Miss Hall in Wellington to come forward as a Centenary Queen in Belgian Carnival it would be "Hall-right." Full particulars of the event we celebrate on the 28th inst. are Riven in Dr. M'Nab's latest work "From Tasman to Marsden." My suggestion then is that the Now Zealand Natives' Association be asked to nominate a, lady to carry out tho above idea, they being a body that would be eminently fitted to carry out such a patriotic idea, in the best possible manner. In young New Zealand it is a far cry back to a hundred years ago, yet in what better manner could we relebrato tho centenary of such a momentous ovcnt than by assisting so gallant a nation as tire Belgians?—l am, etc., THIRTY-ONE.
