A mighty fountain gushed skywards in Victoria Street the other evening, and played for 20 minutes (says the Auckland “Star”). Broad columns shot spectacularly to a height well above the telegraph poles, and sometimes reached the level of the top of a nearby shop. The fountain was divided into three distinct arms, and resembled the feathery plumes of the Prince of Wales. Adjacent shop fronts were deluged, veranda gutters flooded, and the roadway changed into a network of streams. The break was located at a tiro plug, and a gang cut off the flow in the affected section, and repaired the main.
