NEW ZEALAND'S ARCH.
N,ew Zealand's, tiutimphal arch in the centre of Whitehall, witdi plasters 'bearing medallions of Elng George, Queen Mary, King Edward, Queen Victoria, Captain Cook, and Stir Joseph Ward, Bart., must have been quite a feature of the Coronation procession in London. The cable says it suffered through being only thirty-jfive feet high* That was purely an incident. How could the aroh .suffer when- it contained a medallion of Stir Joseph Ward, Bart. ? The exhibition of that, in itself, made up for al defeats. But what about -tike late Richard John Seddon? OouM no place be found for hi'-t ? Apparently New Zealand k"owis only two great men—Captain Oook and Sir Joseph. Ward, Bart.! Such is fame!
