THE GOVERNOR IN WAIKATO.
Sir, — Would it not be much better for the Waikato people to invite the Governor to pay the district a visit, than endeavoring to get the consent of the Government to give free passes to the Waikato Cavalry Volunteers to go to Auckland by train ? It appears to me that an opportunity is being lost of getting* His Excellency to see this great and grand district, that will not perhaps occur again for months, rt would not be necessary for His Excellency to make a lengthy stay among us. A flying visit to Hamilton, Alexandra, Te Awamutu, Kihikihi, and Cambridge, woidd not take up much time, and I feel sure much good would result from it ; and as regards welcome, Avho can doubt that the whole district would turn out to cheer Sir Hercules. Hence, let the Waikato people bestir themselves like men, and set to work at once to have the whole matter carried out to -the best possible advantage. Why should not our worthy Mayor call a public meeting forthwith and see what can be done. Sir Hurcules Robinson did wonders for New South Wales, and will do as much for the Colony. Then why let a golden opportunity pass away "—I am &c,.SbttliEß.
