READY FOR THE CORONATION BALL—A BRILLIANT GATHERING AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE. WELLINGTON
The ball uiv.-n at Government House, Wellington, mi .lune 27 by their Excellencies, Lord and Lady Islington, in honour of the Coronation, was a very brilliant and onjoyable function. So much trouble and consideration in regard to the arrangements of the evening had been spent over it, that it con'd hardly have been other than the complete success it was. A large number of guests were present, probably close upon 800, and the ballroom, with the varied colours of the frocks and the glitter of gold and blue and scarlet uniforms, presented a scene of vivid colouring. Our illustrations show the interior of the ballroom and part of one of the cupper-rooms. See Society Gossip.
