The prevail colnrs, of course, were red, white, and hum. and iiiumm-ruble Union Jacks were displayed side liv side with the Hag of New Zealand, while here and there the flags of Grail Britain, New Zealand, and America, were seen flying together. From housetop to housetop, across the. streets, were g.-.v lines of bunting. inU>:-<peised with such devices &<■• "For the honor of our Queen, our country, and our colony."' "England is mistress still." - Vitality 'is our boast." " Say 'Au 1 e.voiv, but not guod-bve.' " "Good luck to our lads.'' and "Paint, the Transvaal red."

During the jirot-cedings at Hagley Park the iollowine telegram wa.s read from the Hon. J. M'Kenzie :—"1 have to apologise for not being able to be with you to-day t) say farewell t-ti the. Third Contingent. 1 regret, vcrj- much that circumstance* have eventuated which necessitate my leaving for the South to-day. T had hoped to be present t.i siy farewell to our representatives who are going to take, up such arduous duties in joining to assist.the British Army in South Africa. 1 feel confident that ihe Rough .Riders Contingent, from what 1 have seen of them. are. equal to any other fighting men who a.re likely to take part in the struggle for liberty which is now going on in the Transvaal. As a member of the Government of New Zealand, I feel proud that our colony ha-s done so well, and that so much public spirit has been shown by our citiens in providing the necessary funds for equipping and sending forth in the best possible manner Ihe young men of our colony who are prepared to do battle on behalf of the Mother Country, and who may, perhaps, sacrifice their own lives in doing so. 1 have a special interest in this Contingent, as a nephew of my own is a mcuibc'.' of it, who, J. hope, will do honor to his cla-ti. Again expressing my regret that I will not be able to be present to say farewell and God-speed to 'our boys,"—l am, yours faithfully, John M'Keu/.ie. His Worship the Mayor of Christchurch and members of the Demonstration Committee." THE DEPARTURE.
