A Wellington Press Association telegram states that the Wellington Orphan's Club entertained the Governor-General last evening. Colonel Esson, the Chief Orphan, in welcoming the guest of honour, said that their joy was tempered with regret that he was shortly leaving to return to England. Pie placed the chairman’s chain of office on Lord Liverpool’s shoulders. In thanking the Orphans for placing him in such an elevated position, Lord Liverpool said that notwithstanding he would bn GovernorGeneral for three and a-half months longer, he was being allowed to take a little holiday before retiring. He hoped he would one day be able to return to New Zealand and they could depend that if that were the case he would claim hospitality at the hands of the Orphans’ Club.
