THE KIND’S BIRTHDAY
.SOVEREIGNTY AND EMPIRE. AN EXPANDING IDEA. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (The Times.) DON DON, June (Receiver! June 4. 1.25 a.m.i The Times, referring to the King's Birthday, comments on the expanded idea of sovereignty in relation to the Empire. The King is now Sovereign of each of hts peoples as well as of all collectively. Similarly, the Prince of Wales visits the Dominions, not as heir to the British Throne but heir to their own Sovereign. It is a distinction with a difference, the full realisation of which will solve many difficulties.
THE HONOURS LIST. AUSTRALIAN RECIPIENTS. SYDNEY, June 3. (Received June 4, 1.25 a.m.) The Birthday Honours include Sir Charles Wade, ex-Premier and Mr Dennison Miller, Governor of the Commonwealth Bank, who arc created Knight Commanders of St. Michael and St. George. NEW ZEALAND'S CONGRATULATIONS. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 3. The Governor-General has sent the following telegram to the Secretary of State for the Colonies for submission to His Majesty the King;— “On behalf of the Government and people of rids Dominion, I beg to convey to Your Majesty our most respectful congratulations on the occasion of Your Majesty’s birthday, together with renewed assurance of the loyalty and devotion of Your Majesty's New Zealand subjects to the Throne and Empire. (Signed) “LIVERPOOL.”
THE HOLIDAY. SPORTS FIXTURES WELL ATTENDED. Invercargill was favoured with bright sunshine yesterday which enabled a large number of people to take advantage of the holiday in honour of the King’s Birthday, by spending the day in the open. The football matches at Rugby Park in the morning and afternoon formed the chief attraction and an unusually large number of spectators watched all the matches. The hockey match between Collegiate A and Wyndham also drew an interested crowd and in the evening the picture shows were very liberally patronised. The Winter Show and the races at Dunedin were attended by a fair number of Southland people, but the train traffic on other lines was not above normal.
