CHILDREN'S ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.
HER MAJESTY'S REPLY. The following copy of the Hon. Mr Chamberlain's letter to the Governor, in reply to the Auckland district school children's address to the Queen has been received from His Excellency the Eatl of Ranfurly, and was read at the last meeting of the Auckland Board of Education : —•' Downing-street, January 15th, 1898. My Lord,—With reference to your despatch No. 62, of October 22nd last, I have the honour to inform you that the address from the children attending the public schools in the Educational district of Auckland, received at this office on the Ist inst.. has now been laid before the Queen. Her Majesty expressed her great admiration of the artistic manner in which the address has been bound and illuminated, and was graciously pleased to command that her most cordial thanks might be returned to the scholars of the public schools for their kind and touching expressions of loyalty. I have, however, to express to you Her Majesty's regret that it is impossible for her to comply with the request that her reply to the address might be made by means of the phonograph. It has been thought advisable to decline numerous similar applications, and it is feared inconvenience might eiuue if an exception were made in the present case.—l am, etc , (Signed) J. Chamberlain."
