SEVENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE PROGRESSIVE WAIKATO TOWN OF HAMILTON A busy scene in Victoria Street, the main thoroughfare of Hamilton, on a recent market day, when practically every parking space for motor-cars was occupied. This view looks toward the railway crossing from Wesley Buildings. Seventy years ago to-day the settlement of Kirikiriroa, where Hamilton now stands, was founded by an advance party of the 4th Regiment of volunteer militiamen. The military outpost of 1864 is now the second largest inland town of the Dominion.
