R. J. SEDDON.

(New Zealand, No. 25.)
Downing Street, 13th July, 1892.

My Lord,—With reference to the applications which are occasionally made for the issue of warrants for yachts belonging to yacht clubs in Australasia, I have the honour to acquaint you that I have agreed in a suggestion made by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that in future applications for such warrants may be made by the secretaries of yacht clubs direct to their Lordships’ department instead of passing through the Colonial Office.

You will be so good as to intimate this decision to any yacht club in the colony under your government which may be interested in the matter.

I have, &c.,

KNUTSFORD.

Governor the Right Hon. the Earl of Glasgow,
G.O.M.G., &c.
