GENERAL CABLES.

TRAFALGAR DAY

BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATIONS-COPYRIGHT,

LONDON, Oct. 21. Trafalgar Day was celebrated by a series of stirring demonstrations. The Nelson column was bedecked with hundreds of magnificent wreaths, including one fifteen feet in diameter, inscribed: "In memory of the gallant sailors of France who died at Trafalgar, from their comrades in arms today."

There was also a New Zealand wreath of flowers, encased in ice, and an Australian tribute, while there were many from the crews of warships in memory of their fallen comrades.

Similar tributes were placed on Nelson's tomb in St. Paul's.

A great meeting passed a resolution confirming confidence in Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and the Hiah Sea Fleet.
