CORONATION
Auckland To Be A Gay City
[Special to "Northern Advocate”! AUCKLAND, Saturday. Auckland plans for the celebration of the Coronation are so far advanced that the city is taking on a carnival appearance. First in the round of celebrations will be special church services held tomorrow by all denominations. Many business houses and shops have completed their preparations, I and others are still arranging their I displays. Red, white and blue bunting ! and flags have been used on a generous scale, while photographs of royalty and representations of the Crown have been given much prominence. With the preparations that are being made for the illumination and decoration of public buildings, and the decorative scheme in the main streets, which has been carried out on a wide scale by the city council, Auckland, will be a very gay city during Coronation Week. At night, in particular, the scene will be a most spectacular one.
