THE NAVY LEAGUE
A FLACSHIP'S CRUISE. In a recent issue of "The Naval and Military Record" (a leading Englishr Service journal published at Plymouth) the special correspondent on board 11.M.5. Powerful gives a brief account of the New Zealand cruise of the late flagship. He says: "Of all the ports of Australasia, it is safe to say that Wellington, New Zealand, is the most enthusiastic as regards naval matters. It is the centre of a well-informed Navy League, organised by Mr Palmer. During the flagship's stay at Wellington, the Navy League arranged many visits of school children and other parties to the ship, which the visitors found very enjoyable and, no doubt, instructive." (Reference is also made in the letter to the enthusiasm displayed at the League's annual general meeting and "welcome" to Admiral King-Hall. The a.prpeciative remarks of the latter as to the good work of the League are quoted, also a statement by the Admiral, "For convenience and equip-, ment he thought few ports could com- 1 pare with Wefllington."
