Coronation Committee

The Committee appointed to make ar rangsmente for the oelebr*tion of the Coro natton in Ashburtoa met last jveuiog. Hie Worobip the Mayor in the chair, and about forty others attended. 9?he Town Clerk wrote, statins; that the Borongh Council had voted the autn of £75 toward! the fond, of whloh aob leas than £88 wat to be ueed for ereotiog a permanent mistnoriftl. Mr Ohai Doherty wrete, apologising for his absence h-om the meeting. Apologies were ale* received from Messrs Btsliook and Chapman, Tbo Mayor said they would have to appoint ft Committee to awry out the arrangements, and he thought it would be advisable to appoint an Executive, to which the Com- Halt tee ooold refer,

Captain Dotmaa apologised for the absence of Captain Birbsr, of the Fire Bdgode, The Brigade would aseisti tha Committee Ia any way they could. Mr R Aloorn proposed bhat ft religious span air service be held at the most suitable time*

Mr H MJoaet seoonded. the motion. He thought) the publio would support such a ■iervJoß.—The motion was aarriod. Mr Jones moved bb&b r minister and layman fcosn each flhuroh in the town form a Oomoiibliee to make arraogotneats, Mr A loom seoonded the tnofcion, which W»i carried.

The' Mayor then aekod the Committee to prepare the programme far the affernoom Mr Willfa thought they ehoald firsb deal wttb the recoißffioodittotsa of the publio Bleating.

BiYHardfe moved-—That in accordance wish fcha wishes of His ExoelJenoy the Governor, the school ohiidren assemble at their various schools to hoist the fl»g and flitig the Naficßil Anthem, and then be dia utilieil I r !.ho day. H»(thought ib would be very nowise to assemble the children ia mitt winter, when the weather would be very HRoertaian Mr Bullock had proposed that the chtldf »n should be entertained. This could not be done under £50. The money could bo bettor spent in erecting a permanent vemorial.

Tha Mayor said hp would like members of the Committee to go back to the days when they were children themselves, before they dteided.

Rev T. Fee seaondod the motion. He thought is would bo a very hyairflows thing to get) so m*ny children together for such a purpose as that time of the yoar, and he was quite fn nympath'y with the views expresssd by Mrfiudie. Mr Willii supported the motion. Aooept ittjt the Chairman's suggestion, He looked back to his boyhood's days, and remembered Ibtti he likad to have his holidays free to do » h* iiket 5.

Mr Porrell did opt agree with Mr Hardie, Tho BGggesi;!o!3 was th&t they wUhed to exoiado the childreu from the celebrations. Ho had 6»k«n an aotiva part v the Jubilee in 1687, an<l the ohi d ea»' exhibition was one of she moat sHCoestfa!. Ha thought the Children should be allowed to take p*ri> In the oetebratiooe. The children turned out. to oebbrate the Jubilee, which took place ioi the lame month of the year. Mr Ferriifinan said the question of the ohiklreni display was the most importanb of the tl*i*« He wotted not support the motion. Mr Timmias believed the OJdfelbws'HiU flosld ha engaged for the cbitdrens entev met,b.

Beaut o'Donnell quite agreed with Mr Hwdiel He thought) the children would prefer to be free. Mr Jones thought ib would be too bit; a task to entertain the children and he was of opinion that) it would be a mistake to at tempt i\ Mr Reid said that the Jubilee oelebratloos went off very differently from what Mr Pnrnell had stated, A good many of the country children did not gob enough to eat. He remembered that there were many oom jplaints at toe time. Mr Hardle had proposed his resolution in th§ interest of Iha children, {Hoar, hear,) Ho thought they might entertain tho children with a good display, but nol at tempt the feeding business. Ha supported Mr Hardia's resolution^

Mr Brook said tha leaoharn ware aathffcd ttsa 1)To woa!d ba aawi*e 10 bring the children out, althonjh ha w»utd support their being supplied with refreshments if flue weather could be aasilrsd*

RftV Inglis liked Mr Tiaamias naggestroa. The nhildren oouid march ffom the bridga to the H>-'.

MrW Craighead s^id the Oddfellows' Hal! would cob hold h»lf the ohildreu if they »•«■« to be regaled. Mr Aloorn aaid the children would prefer s> pyrotechnic en^orfeaia meub. The Major was aomewhab disappointed a' the view taken by the meetinp Ib wouli be •imply a farce to hoist) the fUgs ab the various schools. Ho did not attach tnnoh weight bo the opinions of the teachers on thk matter, beoauae they were probably Jpfloeuoed by the fact that they had quite enough of ttfietn dnrlnir the daj-i Ho thought the children should bs entet&tined ff there woe sufficient money to do •o. He would like to sea the children come oui on OoroDation Day« If 4he weather was web »ocommodabion caold be provided, There was the Arcade if the Hall was not large enough. Ha moved aa an amendment: ■—That providing suffioienb funds ba *vail abk, the obUdrsn bs anterbaitted In the Domain. If auffioienb funds are nob forth* coming that the children bo each presented with » medah Mr Ferriman seoonded th® amendmeah He laid ha would be prepared to find one fourth of tbo medals himeolf, (Emt, hear.) Mr Hardle us id bhs proposal to take 2000 #r 4000 children into the OddfellewB 1 Hall Of the. Arcade soil leb them run wild was an absurd one. The teachers knew best) what the children would prefer. If the country ahildren wished to ootne into town it was a aiflareab mi**ter. He resenbed the Mayor's imputation thab the teachers did nob wish to help ou the occa»lon. He wai sure every taaaher in the county would willingly give bis services if be thought they Qould con tribute to the advantage of the children. (Hear, hear.) Mr Parnell said be knew the arrange nvnte at the Jubilee were not altogether imoaasefu': He draateri the Committee wou'd not eliminate the children from the programme;

Mr Alooid thoagfab that the money required to provlfle for the oh<ldren could be better spent), Mr Fee aaid they should nob be panurioua with the oktlSren.

The amendment was than oarrled. Mr Tlmmina moved as farther amendment (bsb'the obildren ba allowed to view what ever went on in the forenoon, and then be Invited bo the Hall where as entertainment eonld be provided, Th© Mayor Baid this woald Interfete with fehe afternoon arrangements, and the amend menbwas nob eeooniedi Mr Aloorn moved a farther amendment that i memento be presented bo Ihe Obildren.—Not seconded. Kov T Fee moved aa an amendment that. tporfea bo organised for the Ktog'e Birthday,

Nev9; The niofcsoo W-9 then pai a»d loah Eleven voMng for and twelve against. Rev Whiteliouae asked it fb would be possible to hfive a fitg holutiag oeremoay in %Vt Domain. " Mr Beld movad that tha Volnnbsers and msmbera of Friendly Sociable?, ba ae&ed to

assemble and march la p-ooemon to the Domain, and that a commrttea be appo'nted to arrange an entertainment). He would ©bjeol very strongly to lending the obildren opt of the proceedings. Mr Jones seconded the motioD. Daan O'Donnell said they were making th« day ooe of very extraordinary labour. Tbrv were goiog to b«»gin fa the tro'oing with religious services in the variossa Ohurohei. &8 if this was not eaoa«h, Ife wa,s ijropfied tooramall aorta of things down the throa&s of the pubic. Nad to march the tinfortsuaate children aboab, aod keep every body going all day. He moved as an HHientaenfc that the oelebrafcirni la A«h bwton coßiist of a prooa«sioa from tome place to be determined on, and the lag be liolsfced and mewsorl»l oafea be planted. Capfc&in Dolmsia V.D., Baid thai the Volttoteera woald have to sob under order?. The Colonel oomnrnatfircg the dlatriob had B«!d thsVolwtJteero might bafa to mobiliee »t Timara. If they were allowed to master ft t their own sfcaSloa they ooald depind en the Volunteers doing all la their power to fttttob the Oommittee. Dean O'Dooael'a amendmint wai tneo pub and B»rrled. Me Teonaafe moved as at the former peatiog • thftt at l«a«b tbtM fo«Ptb§ of the

money raised, should be utilised far a permanent memorial, and that a sub- Committee be set up to determine the form lit should take. He dealt with the fact that the King hiir self had favoured a permanent memorial, and pointed out how much better snoh a record of the Coronation would be imriKgpeJ on the minds of the children The firgworks diaplay was neither a digni fied nor an up to date way of expressing the public feeilng.J Mr Jones eeoonded the motion. It was a much more sensible manner of spending the money than in sendic^ it off is fireworks, Mt* Ferriman thought they should taka oiretlelr work was- not rendered useless. If three f< nrfcha of the money were pat aside for a permanent memorial the Com mittee had better disband.

Mr Pmrnell did uoti think a memorial was at all necessary for the Coronation Mr Tennant's remarks were beside the question. In England they were goiag to hsvs fire works and bonfires. Great) crowds turned out to see fireworks, It was of course wasting money in one sense, the same as it was in having a dinner. (Laughter.) Mr Alcorn supported the resolution* If the other looal bodies contributed as they expected, they would have £300 for a permanent m mortal, each an a drinking fountain, whloh he thought was muoh wanted in Aehbarton,

The Mayor moved as an amendment that the sum of £50 be spent la fireworks and bonfirea. Lieutenant Nokes seconded fshia. Mr WiHia supported Mr Tennant's motion. Publio opinion generally was against a pyrotechnics! display, as being unworthy of I tho age and the oocasion. Mr Fornell ; bad aald that It was intended to have fireworks in various places in the colony as well as in England. But they would see by the papers that; very few centres had not preferred a permfnent memorial. The idea in the colonies wan to mark the event, rather than to celebrate i\ Referring to the amendment,, be pointed out the S(iiQstion of fireworks did not come ibto Mr Tennant'a motion at all.

Mr Fee said that ia all probability the amendment! would confuse the issue, as some might; be to sympathy with the motion, as he was himeolf.and yet be desirous of having a pyrotechnic display. Dean O'Docnell pointed out that the amendment, if passed, would negative the motion. Moreover, if they took the trouble to reckon up the figure?, they wou!d find that Mr Tennaab's motion would leave them oooßiderably more than £50.

Mr Aloorn thought they ought t> spend £50 on firework p.

The Chalrm tn said he was very much in favour of a permanent memuri*! himself, but he thought they nhouid have some aelebra tion as well.

Mr Jones thought His Worship should withdraw the amendment, a.nd propose it as a motion afferwarde.

The Chairman put the amendment, which was lost.

Rev T Fee then moved that) tho sum of £50 ba set aside for fireworks, aarl th« balance be devoted to a permanent mamorijl Mr A Orr seconded thir;

Mr Tennaat said his motion was not to .prevent in any way Mr Purnell and bin friends from celebrating the Coronation in any manner they liked. Mr Jones also sp< ke. Mr Fee's amendment waa then pat and Ioa fs Mr Aloorn proposad that after providing £50 for fireworks, thr^e fourths of ths funda should be reserved for a permanent memorial. . Mr Hardie moved as a further amendment} that nn lees than ha'f bo spent on a permanent memorial. He thought th's might meet the <me. Mr Aloorn ssoonUd. The amendment was pub and carried* Mr Willis moved that the Domain Oval be illuminated in the evening, and the Band be provided. This would be a much cheaper and mora atstraoti?e method of providing for the young people in the evening than fireworks.

This was nob soccnctath Mr Reid thought the meeting was trying to do coo much. Thay should appoint Committees to report. Mr Timmins moved that & fireworks dig pay be held ia the evening, and the matter be laft to the Fira Brigade to report. To | this wai added a requost thab the citiz'jßt ', should illuminate their promise;', and a torch light proossaion be held,—The motion wan | carried. The following Committees were appointed ! — itternoon Oel-bration Committee—Oap- Uldb Djlrnar, NiooU, Sargt Major Gibson, two members friin each cf the Friendly Societies, Captain Barber (Fire Brigade), Messrs Jones and Reid, H A Gates, with power fco add to their Dumber 5 (Mr Reid, Convener) ; Executive Committee — The Mayor, Rev Daan O'Donnell, Messrs Pit oell, Daviaon, and Clark ; Fireworks Com* mittee—The AsbbartonjFire Brigade j Service Committee — All the ministers, and the laymen (to be nominated by each minister), from eaob denomination.
