The Coronation.

Proposed Illuminations

The matter of decorating the main streets of Ashburton on Coronation night is being taken up m a whole hearted manner by the citizens, The heads of the leading business establishments have met and discussed matters, and from what can be gathered it is intended to light up these streets m a systematic manner. Arrangements are m progress for the effective decoration of East street, but the nature of the display is not definitely decided on. It is sufficient, however, to s:iy that a combined effort will be made by the business men m that street to make the illuminations m the main street both unique and striking m every respect. In Burnett street there will be Venetian masts placed on both sides of the street, carrying lights of various kinds and coloured material will be looped from one side to the other, the shop windows dis playing colourings of tinted hues, the whole making a most effective display. A lantern display will also be given during the evening m this street. In Tancred street the business people are m co-operation with the object of having this part of the town effectively lighted up on Coronation night. It is proposed to festoon the verandahs with Chinese lan taraa, and transparencies will be exhibited, which will lend an additional effect. It is evident that Tancred street is not to be behind when the time comes for making the display. We learn from Captain Dolman that a circular has been issued by the Defence Office inviting old veterans of the Army and Navy to join m with the troops at the respective centres to take part m the cele brations. We are requested to notify that the parade m connection with the local corps will muster at the drillshed at 12.30 p.m on Coronation Day, when old veterans are invited to join m. The Friendly Societies | will be well represented, but m the case of j the Orange Lodge, it was stated that a large number of members are expected to be away at Christchurch, so that they will not be as strong as was anticipated. j

A Wellington telegram states that the Cabinet has decided thab Coronation souvenir cards are to be issued to all teachers and School Committees m addition to school children. Tho total number will be 200,000, and the bulk of them are being prepared at the Government printing office, and the remainder at Christchurch and Auckland. It is doubtful whether the whole can be issued before Coronation day.

ARUNDEL.

From Our Own Correspondent. We have had a splendid spell of fine weather up to last week when it broke, and we had three days' rain, but it is again fine. Things are very quiet just now, but I think they will soon be a bit livelier, as I hear the ladies are getting up a dance soon, and the school is to have a social on July 25th, and next week will be all Coronation, The school children are going to join the Geraldine demonstration for the day, A meeting is to be held on Saturday evening at the Bridge Hotel to form a Gun Club. Messrs Petrie and E. Bull have just imported a machine. Already a good num ber of members are on the roll, and it is expected that a good strong Club will be formed. There is a good deal of crop going m about here, and some of the autumn crops are looking very well. Turnips are not extra good, but the Swedes are looking very well. The potato crop has turned out pretty well; part of the crop that was flooded is not of much use, but m m other respects the crops are very good. "We have just had the streets m the settlement shingled.. They were m a very bad state, but thanks to Mr Matman, the member for the district, a grant was obtained from the Government for the purpose, and the Mount Peel Road .Board supervised the work, Mr Sugrue having the contract. Our school has just received a splendid flag from the Board of Education. A flag pole has been erected, and the unfurling of the flag will take place on Friday. The school is closing for three weeks for Coro nation and midwinter holidays.
