WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1890.

THE Fourth Session of the Tenth Parliament of New Zealand was this day opened
by the Governor, when His Excellency was pleased to make the following

SPEECH.

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,—

It gives me much pleasure again to meet you in Parliament assembled.
When I first met you shortly after my assumption of the Government, I had
had time only for a hurried journey through the North Island, but I expressed my
gratification at what I had then seen and at the manner in which I had been
received as Her Majesty’s representative. I have now visited the four centres, and
have had the advantage of residing for some months in three of the principal cities.
The experience which I have obtained in the course of my journey through many
different parts of the colony has enabled me to take a more comprehensive view
of its capabilities. I have been greatly pleased with the abundance of its
resources, with the beauty of its scenery, and with the enterprise and industry of
its inhabitants. I have also been much gratified by the manner in which I have
been welcomed in every place which I have visited, and with the loyalty exhibited
by the people to Her Majesty the Queen and to the Empire.
The New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition proved a greater success than was
anticipated by the most sanguine. While its conception, accomplishment, and
management reflected special credit upon the enterprise and ability of its originators
and of the citizens of Dunedin, the manner in which it was supported by those
living in other parts of the colony evidenced the power of the inhabitants to co-
operate in a great undertaking. The splendid display of natural products, of arts,
manufactures, and minerals, must have had a great educating influence upon the
