THE GOVERNOR HELD UP.
The children attending the Woodville State school, one day last week, hearing that the Governor was to pass through per motor car, decided to get a glimpse of the King’s representative, and, it possible bear him speak. In front of the school two of the girls had a barrier of red white and blue ribbons stretched across the street, and of course the car was brought to a standstill. The Mayor then went up to the car and said to His Excellency that the school children were anxious to have a look at him. The Governor, who seemed very pleased at the interruption to his journey, left the car and the chairman of the school committee and headmaster were presented to him. After the children had all been lined up, His Excellency addressed them, telling them how pleased he was to meet them in such a strange manner. He made a special reference to the day being Trafalgar Day and hoped they would emulate the Creator of the day and do their duty to their king and country. Cheers were then given for the Governor, who then left on his journey lor Featherstou.
