A MEMORABLE CHURCH PARADE.
There was an immense gathering in the Auckland Domain last Sunday, the occasion being a church parade of the local volunteers. The attendance was one of the largest ever witnessed on the ground. The parade, headed by the Navals, marched up Symonds street and through Kyber Pass to the Domain, four bands being in attendance. On arrival at the Cricket Ground. His Lordship the Primate (Dr. Cowie), assisted by the Rev. Canon AlacMurray, conducted service. After an address by His Lordship, a collection was taken up for meeting the cost of equipping the Auckland members of the Fourth Contingent. The sum subscribed was £lB5. The gathering concluded with the singing of the National Anthem. Among our pictures will be found two splendid engravings from photos, taken on the occasion.
