DUNEDIN FESTIVITIES.
DUNEDIN, Monday.
A hundred extra men were at work to-day on the street decorations, which were rapidly advanced, and will evidently be completed to-morrow, so far as the route from the railway station toTernhill Club is concerned, and •the line of the procession by. Wednesday morning. The weather is dry and frosty, an-d if it continues the city will look'very well. There are only four arches—-the Chinese, the marine, the citizens, and t<h<? Government. The block from Moray Place to the Octagon appears to be all one arch, with festoons of colours and bannerettes.
DUNEDIN, this day
Though there was a sharp frost at night, it is an exceedingly pleasant day, the sun being- bright and warm, and everything is in a forward state, and by to-night Dunedin will be in her brightest array, far exceeding any previous display. At the Town Hall are two. arches, and in the Octagon is the marine arch. At the head of the cutting the Union Co.'s oilice will be resplendent with electric light, while numbers of bonfires around the city from Mt. Car gill to the chain of hills will provide -a suitable setting. Though the town is very full there is still reasonable accommodation forthcoming.
