WEATHER DELIGHTFUL.
GREAT CROWDS ARRIVING

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day,
Provision has been made t(T accommodate between 45,000 and 50,000 spectators at Athletic Park to-morrow.
The New Zealand team will arrive from Otaki this afternoon.
The weather is delightful, and crowds are arriving from all over the country by rail, road and sea. Hotels and accommodation houses are feeling the pinch for room, and one proprietor declared that if his place were six storeys high it would not be big enough to hold the people who have applied.
