THE "GEORGE" FUND.
The Hon. George Fowids a&fcs the Press of the Dominion to appeal to the "Georges" to contribute towards the fund for making a presentation to His Majesty the King. The Paresis has no desire to be disloyal. It has the utmost respect for the Honi George JFowlds, and a profound admiration for all the Georges who have existed from time immemorial But it has an intense hatred for everything that savours of "snobbishness." The poor response to the appeal made by His Excellency the Governor should have induced" its withdrawal from the public. His Majesty the King will hardly appreciate a gift wibioh has to be wrung from a section of the community by an appeal to an intstinct which it does not possess.
