RECEPTION OF PIOXEERS.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) THAMES, this day. The Diamond Jubilee Committee met last evening. It was reported that a special cheap steamer excursion had been arranged, and the Railway Department would also help with excursion fares. The proposal for a fireworks display was discussed, and referred to a committee for a report. All the pioneers will be met at the wharf or the railway station, and conveyed to their destination free. A song written for the occasion, and entitled "Hearts of Gold," will be sung at the oflicial concert. The proposal that a jubilee ball be held was not favoured, but a euchre party and dance, to be held on Saturday, July 31, will be considered. The Accommodation Committee reported that arrangements were well in hand. It was decided to give a luncheon to the pioneers, 80 of whom will be guests of the committee.
