Coronation Day. It "seemed-almost too good ! to believe yesterday that the sun was shining brightly, and that the wind and rain of the previous day had subsided. Had it been wet, more than half the interest the celebrations would havo boon lost. From quite an early hour'in the morning peoplo were, astir, numbers being on tticir way to attend the special Coronation services,'. which were hold in the churches, and others, again, lining the streets to see the processions, civil and military, pass by. Close upon eleven o'clock it seemed as though tho whole city was making its way toward Nowtown Park, where the review was to take place, and, probably, the park has never presented so brilliant an nppear&uce. Picturesque it always is, but it was doubly so yesterday with the thousands of people massed upou the hillsides and banks, with the numberless flags flying guily in the wind, and with the troops drawn up in review order on the ground below. ~,,., ' Beautifully green and level looked the ground, as though it .would be a delight to march on, but a tell-tale track was left as his Excellency tho Governor, accompanied by General Godley and their staffs, inspected tho lines, and dim forebodings flitted across one's mind as to what might happen later. Indeed, it only, needed the march past in column to turn the -/ground into something greatly resembling n. quagmire, and strenuous efforts had' to be inado at times to keep tho lines level. ' It was a very interesting spectacle, and tho evolutions were closely watched. The cadets came in for a targe.share of attention, both as regards their marching and their numbers. Many of the smaller boys liad been looking- forward to this I eveut for days, though it did not, in their I minds, equal tho importance of tho review at which Lord Kitchener was present, and in which they, too, played a part. Still, it came very near it. Inspiriting music was played by tho bands, and ono need not be surprised at tho part that music has played in martial matters for'ages. It means so much. Tho Royal salute was very impressive, and, after the National Anthem had been sung, three cheers were given for his Majesty the Kine—loud, ringing cheers ■from'-every part of tho ground..'" ijji ■ In a special enclosure were Lady Islington, dressed in cream, with a hat covered with white ostrich plumes; Miss Stapleton-Cotton, in a stone-blue coat and skirt, and hat en suite; Mrs. Guise, wearing brown velvet, with a brown toque; and the Hon. Joan Dickson-Poyuder. There were also .present Mrs. Godley, wearins a grey costume and large hat with plumes; Mrs. Burnett-Stuart, in a cinnamon brown dress and sealskin coat, with a large black liat; Miss Robin, in a blue and white striped costume and black toque; Mrs. Collins wearing a black costumo and furs and a black toque; Miss Collins, black, and a large black hat; Mrs. Wilford, a dark costume, with a large black plumed hat and white furs; Mrs. Buddo. Mrs. Ngata, Mrs. R. M'Kenzie, and Miss Smith.

Jewels Galore.' , Disappointment filled the hearts of many people last evening when tha rain began to fall. Numbers of children, too, had been looking forward with keen anticipation to the fireworks display and to tho various processions with which proceedings were to begin. Instead there was desultory wandering about the streets to see tho illuminated buildings and then home again. One of the great attractions of tho evening was to have been tho military tattoo at the Athletic Park, which, of course, had to be abandoned, for that night, at least. The front of Government House was brilliantly lit lip with hundreds of coloured electric lights, outlining the building and also forming all tho emblems of Royalty. Over tho public entrance were to bo seen portraits of King George and Queen Mary outlined with coloured electric lights, while flags innumerable were fastened to the building or suspended in the grounds. Another striking design was that of the Post Office, every window in tho front of it being bordered with white.electric bulbs, and every story being marked off in , the same way. A beautifully designed crown of coloured lights some distance abovo the public vestibule immediately arrested tho eye, while at the very top of , the tower itself, brilliantly outlined, was another crown.. There was nothing ornate, but tho whole effect was most striking and effective. . The Exhibition buildings had also been gorgeously illuminated, the wings at cither end being margined with brilliant sapphire lights, while the middle was carried out in red and also in white. Tho tower of the Parliamentary Buildings was jewelled in red, white and blue. Of all the illuminations to be seen that evening, however, tho meu-o'-war ships in the harbour were probably the most beautiful to look at. Gono was the grim greyness of their everyday aspect, and instead were to be Been ships of gold floatIng in a measureless world of blackuess, beautiful for onco in their existence.

Wedding at Bulls. On June 15 the wedding was celebrated of Miss Martha Smith, youngest daughter of Mr. W. Smith, Bulls, to Mr. Herbert Lawrenco Stantiall, second son of the late Mr. C. Stantiall.
