GREAT ENTHUSIASM IN SYDNEY. ENORMOUS CROWDS IN THE CITY. United Press Association— By Electric Talegraph— Copyright. -. (Received August 20, 9.40 a.m.) SYDNEY, August 20. The weather is fine and bright, but cold. Visitors have been pouring into the city all night, and since before daylight there has been a steady exodus to vantage grounds along 'the coast and harbour " foreshores . Every possible means of transit is pressed into the service, and all conveyances are densely crowded. Some in their excess of enthusiasm camped out all night. The high rocky coast for miles from Botany to the Heads will afford a magnificent panoramic view of the approaching fleet, which is expected to signal off Botany at nine o'clock and to enter the harbour at 11.30. According to present indications before that time the spectators afloat and ashore along the route will number some hundreds of thousands. The shipping in the harbour is gaily dressed, and the final touches are being pur to the decorations of the city, i which looks at its best. 1
