THINGS THAT JAR.
Here and there a discordant note has
been struck. Questions of precedence
have arisen. For instance. II VAS
claimed that the Mayor should receive
the Governor General, and not the
Premier. This was overruled by the
popular, as well as the official, voice,
and rightly so. Lord Hopetoun comes
to the colonies as the representative Of
the British Crown. and as such he
should be received by the high
est officials of the state he
lands in. Now there are ru-
mors that the celebra tions will be de-
prived of certain gubernatorial bill
liancy by the absence of the stlte Gov
ernors. The monumental difficulty #
the question of precedence is Ggiin
urged as one reason of the absence OF
state Governors. Naturally there rs
little soreness.
