EMPIRE DAY

To-day will bo observed as' a pretty close holiday in Wellington in honour of tho King's Birthday, which is also Empire Day. The Civil Service, banks, insurance and legal offices will bo closed, and as it is a holiday under the provisions of the Factories Act and Shops and Offices Act, as well as being included in most of tho trado awards, there is not likely to be much doing m tho city. Beyond a few football matches there arc 110 special holiday attractions. Tho Stato schools, which have been closed for term holidays during tho past week, will reopen to-morrow morning.

With little eke in t.he way of Holiday attractions offering to-day, there will probably bo a good attendance at the Athletic Park to see the contest between the local representative team and the select from Trentham Camp. While the Wellington team is composed of young men, many have already shown that they have the makings in the near future of first-class players, and while tho Trentham team is (on naper) one of tho strongest seen in Wellington, for some time, it. may be that the local team will mako a better showing than many anticipate
