MAYORAL DIGNITY.
DR. THACKER AND THE PRINCE. According to thje Christehurch Sun there is going to be a ''row" if the Mayors of Auckland and Wellington are invited to attend the reception to tho Prince of Wales at Rotorua and no invitation is extended to the Mayor of Christehurch (Dr. Thacker). A warning of that was given to the Minister of Internal Affairs (Hon. 3ir Francis Bell) in Christehurch on Friday? Dr. Thacker asked if there was to be an official Parliamentary reception to the Prince in Wellington. "Yes," replied Sir Francis Bell, ''in Wellington—and you will get your invitation." "I wondered," said Dr. Thacker, '-'because I haven't received an invitation yet—nor mi(> for the Native reception at Rotorua." The Minister explained that accommodation at Rotorua would be filled to overflowing with the Natives and the Prince's staff. The only Dominion snests would lie the Right Hon. Sir Joseph and Lady Ward, the Hon. Sir Tames and Lady Carroll, and the Hon. and Mrs. W. D. S. Mac Donald. "What about the Mayors of the large cities?" suggested Dr Thacker. "They will not be there," was the reply. "We cannot possibly invite more, for we could not put them up. Wo have even had to refuse some of our own staff and gen•ffftU."
