WELLINGTON CARILLON PLAYED IN LONDON.
TENS OF THOUSANDS HEAR BELLS pealing. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received January 2, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, January 1. Clifford Ball brought his hands down, on the keys as the Lord Mayor pressed a signal button and the Wellington carillon pealed out, being heard by tens of thousands of listeners in Hyde Park. Lord Camrose presided over the lunch, at which Lord and Lady Jellicoe. Sir Granville Ryrie, and the AgentsGeneral for New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia were present. Lord Bledisloe said that in the New Year’s honours list there was no more notable name than that of Sir Joseph Ward. He expected that London would follow the example of Wellington and demand a permanent carillon. Lord Jellicoe said that although he was just recovering from a severe operation he came to Hyde Park to hear the carillon. Sir Granville Ryrie said he did not begrudge New Zealand her carillon, but asked why it was not going to Australia.
