DOMINION PARLIAMENT,
THE FINAL SESSION. OPENING ON THURSDAY. WELLINGTON, Monday. The last session of the present Parliament will be opened on Thursday afternoon by the Governor-General, Viscount Galway, this being the first occasion on which His Excellency has officiated at a ceremony which provides one of the few glimpses of pageantry in affairs of State in New Zealand. The time-honoured procedure, borrowed direct from the Mother of Parliaments, will be followed, and Wellington is bound to take as keen an interest as ever In the ceremonial.
Legislation is ready and waiting for the business of the House to proceed, and it is not thought that the session will be unduly protracted. A general election too close to Christmas is not popular with the business community, and after the House rises some time must be left for political campaigning. Eight to ten weeks is the life-time generally predicted for the session. Mr Forbes will return from his home In Cheviot on Wednesday morning, and Mr Coates will arrive from Auckland on Thursday.
