GOVERNMENT HOUSE PARTY A BIG ENTERTAINMENT. _ There was a great gathering of Wellington citizens at Government House yesterday afternoon, when His Excellency the Governor-General gave a garden party, which, for. Once in Wellington, realised its intention, as the weather permitted enjoyment of the garden, and those .who are really fond of flowers had a feast of beautiful colours and blossoms. The lawns were vividly green, and formed a charming setting for the many borders where antirrhinums, laquijegias, geraniums, nemesias, pausies', stocks, wallflowers, and numbers of other scented favourites flourished in great variety and beauty. Early roses and late spring flowers added charm to the gardens, and the grounds were filled with admiring guests. A military band played inspiriting mttsic, adding much to the pleasure. Afternoon tea was set, it seemed, wherever space was available, the decorations of the tables being tasteful in each case. The large ballroom was used as a tearoom, also the billiard-room, the dining-room, and several others, so that though there were hundreds of guests they were all able to get their tea and other refreshments comfortably. The house was fragant with lovely conservatory flowers and plants, and many guests were much interested in looking at the fine pictures and cabinets of beautiful and 'interesting things. _ His Excellency received on the terrace just outside the conservatory, and was attended by Commander Dove.
