YESTERDAY'S PARADE.
TO THE EDITOR Sir, —I have recently arrived in this City from Wellington, where I have seen several parades of troop-s, and I think that if the local authorities were to adopt the method used by the Wellington City Council there would be less confusion, such as prevailed in tho streets yesterday. One would think tiiat on a day when troops marched through the streets, which were densely thronged yesteiday, the City Council would stop the'oaTS running—say, from Frederick street to Moray place. In Wellington the cars are stopped, and no traffic whatever ie allowed on the line of march, and I think if the Dunedin authorities were to follow a similar procedure there, would be no medley (as there was yesterday) of tramcars, vehicles of every description, and a troop of soldiers 300 strong marching along through lines of thousands of onlookers. Tf there were no accident*, I should think it would be more by good luck than good management.—l am, etc., Spectator. April 26.
