THE "PROCESSIONS."
{special to "the press.") WELLINGTON, May 1. The Hon. James Carroll, Native Minister, who ia in charge of the demonstration to be made during the Royal visit to Rotorua, is busily engaged. In* fact, the approaching functions are causing most of the Ministers, and nearly all of the Departments, any amount of extra work. Some of the difficulties which arise call for diplomacy of the most subtle kind before they can be overcome. One point in connection with the approaching visit of tbe Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, which is continually being forgotten, is that there will be no processions in the ordinary acceptation of the word. At the towns visited there will be a progress in which their Royal Highnesses wilt have a military escort, hut no procession of the kind familiar to colonists. The object of progress is to enable the Royal visitors to be seen by as many people as possible. If there were processions those taking part in them might, it is easily conceivable, not see* anything of the chief figures.
