GOVERNOR’S LECTURE.
FAVOURABLE COMMENT IN LONDON. The fact that the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, attempted something not previously undertaken by a Gover-nor-General, in delivering the leading scientific lecture of the year at the Cawthron Institute last October, has occasioned some comment in London. The Cavrthron' Lecture delivered by Lord Bledisloe at Nelson was ‘‘A Conspectus of Recent Agricultural Research.” A copy of His Excellency's address reached the hands of a column- ■ ist who surveys world events for the ! Daily Telegraph, London. In the issue of that paper on NovemI her 12 the writer says : ! “For a Governor-General to deliver the most important annual scientific discourse in his Dominion is an achievement for which I can recall no immediate parallel. "He developed his subject with a wealth of technical knowledge which must have astounded any of his hearers who did not happen to be aware that scientific husbandry has been Lord Bledisloe's absorbing interest in life.”
