ALEXANDRA DAY.
A GREAT SUCCESS. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, Juno 26. There wore twenty thousand sellers of roses on Alexandra Day, and it is estimated that over £IBOO was realised. Both Queens had a great reception in tho streets. Many buildings wore decked with artificial roses. Ladies invaded tho Stock Exchange, and tho brokers auctioned flowers, refusing bids of under £l. A member of tho Stock Exchange bid £2O for a spray. Fifty New Zealand ladies scored a great success at Whitehall. Tho Australian organisation fell through. The Daily Mail., in a column article, describes Australia’s Wattle Day, likening it to Alexandra Day.
