OLD SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED BY THE GOVERNOR.
His Excellency is to-day celebrating Sebastopol Day by entertaining veterans of the army and navy at luncheon at Government House. Tables are laid in the ballroom, which has been tasteiully decorated for the occasion under the direction of the Countess of Ranfurley. The reception is to extend from 2 to 6 o'clock. Only two toasts will be given by the Governor — "The Queen" and "Lord Roberts and our Forces in South Africa". A recitation is to be giver by Miss Stidolph -(the daughter of a veteran), and Messrs John Prouse and E. J. Hill will sing. Of the 200 invitations issued by Lord Ranfurly, 136 were accepted. A number of the guests came into Wellington by last night's and this morning's trains from all parts of the Island — from New Plymouth on the west and Napier on the east coast. In the list of invitations given hereunder, some of the records of the old soldiers have not been obtained, and the initials "N.Z." after the names mean that the veteran wear's the New Zealand medal.

THE WOMEN'S GIFT TO THE DUCHESS. PRESENTATION CEREMONY.
The Duchess of Cornwall received at Government House this morning a deputation on behalf of the women of Wellington, who desired her acceptance of a gift taking the form of the model of a carved Maori house. The deputation consisted of Lady Stout, Mrs. H. D. Bell, Mrs. Wallis (wife of the Bishop of Wellington), and Mrs. T. M. Wilford. The ceremony took place in the reception-room, and the ladies composing the deputation having been presented to the Duchess by the Countess of Ranfurly, Mrs. Bell, as President of the Women's Committee, asked Her Royal Highness to accept the gift on behalf of the women of Wellington. She explained that the present itself was not yet finished, but the Countess of Ranfurly had allowed a model that she possessed to be used for the occasion, and permission was asked to forward the gift to England when completed. "It is very nice, and it is very kind of you," remarked the Duchess and then, examining the model present, she asked, "Will it be like this?" Mrs. Bell replied that it would be almost a facsimile, and that it would stand upon a carved table. "Will you express to the other ladies my great thanks," said the Duchess, who then talked pleasantly for a few moments, shook hands again with, the ladies present, and the ceremony ended.
