FIREWORKS DISPLAY.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Thursday.
Thousands of people thronged the harbour frontage to-night to witness the fireworks display, which was carried out from the hulks lying off Queen's Wharf and from the Government steamer Tutanekai. The display from the hulks was provided by the local Reception Committee, and although lacking somewhat in variety proved very successful. The fact of it being a fine, calm night contributed largely to the enjoyment of the scene. Later on in the evening the streets were crowded with people viewing the illuminations, which were again in full swing. Jt is generally conceded that the illuminations surpass anything ihnt was expected, and visitoi-s from outside, including- people who have seen displays on a large scale at Home and elsewhere, are loud in their praise.
