The funeral of the late Mr. Richard Hellaby, which took place yesterday afternoon at Purewa, was one ot the largest that has occurred in Auckland for many years, a fact which showed the widespread respect which was entertained for the deceased. All classes of the community were represented, and the cortege was over a mile long. Deceased's - three sons and one of his nephews occupied the first carriage, Mr. Briscoe (deceased's father-in-law), one of deceased's nephews, Canon C. M. Nelson, and Rabbi Goldstein, the second; His Worship the Mayor (Mr. Alfred Kidd), his three sons, and Mr. Ulot (representing W. Hunter and Co., Waikato), the third; Messrs. Wing and Goodwin (members of the firm), and Mr. D. Neilson, the fourth. Nearly every master butcher in the city and suburbs was present, and people followed ' from manyparts of the district. The Waikato Agricultural Association and Waikato Farmers' Club were represented by Messrs: E. Allen, H. Gillet, and E. Y. Cox. At the mortuary chapel a short service was held, and Canon Nelson gave an address, in the course of which he referred to the great loss the community had suffered by the death of Mr. Hellafoy, who , was a kind father, a good husband, and a genial man, whose purse was always open to assist those who needed it, while as an employer of labour he was beloved by all those with whom lie was associated. This to a large extent- had assisted him in building up one of the largest businesses controlled by a single man in this colony. The confidence displayed in him by country settlers would make it very difficult to replace him in his particular business. The coffiD was borne to the grave by six of deceased's oldest employees.
