THE ORANGE PROCESSION AT TIMARU.
(BY TELEGRAPH.) 4. TlMAßU,"November §. Tinjaru was made lively to-day by the largest Qrange procession ever known in this district. Altogether, 800 assembled and paraded the main streets dressed.in. the regalia of the Order, with banners and flags. . The procession, which comprised contingents from Southland, Otago, and Christchurch, was accompanied by three bands of music, performing Protestant airs, including " Old John Brown." , The streets were thronged by spectators, but good order was preserved, the only show of defiance being at thei Shamrock Hotel, from the upper windows of which green ribbons were hung out, and vigorously dangled in the faces of the processionists as they passed. Fortunately the Orangemen treated the exhibition with uncoucern. The party assembled in a paddock near the town, where they had a capital luncheon, and spent the afternoon in athletic and other sports. .
