The Mayor (Mr G. Tisch) has Feceived the following wire from the Prime Minister:

It is desired that the first anniversary of Dominion Day be fittingly celebrated on Saturday, the 26th inst, and in connection with this the Education Boards throughout the Dominion are being asked to assist by having a muster of the children at thejrespective schools at 11 o'clock in the morning of the day to salute the flag and receive the Dominion medals. In the principal centres arrangements are being made for a military review during the afternoon. In other towns where corps exist it is also desired that the Volunteers should turn out and have a military ceremonial. I should be glad therefore if your Council and the citizens would co-operato with the Government in making the ceremony in your town or district a successful one. The following programme which is being arranged for Wellington may be of some assistance to you in framing your arrangements: — At 11 o'clock all schools muster in the Basin Reserve, salute the flag, and receive medals. At 2in the afternoon march of troops through the principal streets to Newtown Park, where a review will be held.
