GENERAL CABLES

RENOWN NEARING HOME. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) z GIBRALTAR, June 23. The Renown approached Gibraltar this morning in a dense fog, the first of the tour, but suddenly it lifted, enabling the ship to berth only a few minutes late. After official visits, Their Royal Highnesses landed and proceeded to the City Hall, where addresses of welcome were presented. The remainder of the day was occupied with visits to spots of interest, inspections of Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, and a garden party, concluding with a dinner aboard the Renown, which was attended by the Governor and other prominent personages. The Renown later left on the last lap of her voyage.

Their Majesties drove in an open carriage in semi-State in Regent Street, beneath a blaze of banners and floral decorations, being cheered by an immense crowd, thereby officially opening the street, which during the past five years has been entirely rebuilt in cream-pink Portland stone, which gives a youthful appearance to the street.
