CROWDS IN THE CITY
CAFES NOT UNDULY BUSY Although there were thousands of people in the city for the Prime Minister's funeral yesterday, the few restaurants open were easily able to cater for the demand. For the iirst hour immediately after the last car in the procession had left Queen Street there was brisk business, but by the closo of the afternoon there was little more than the customary patronage. Country people, some of whom bad travelled fairly long distances, helped to add to the numbers of patrons in teasliops, but for the most part they seem to have left the city soon after they had witnessed the procession.
