THE ROYAL VISIT.
1 [PBB PRESS ASSOCIATION]
Christchurch, June 13. Arrangements are being made for an extensive display of bonfires and beacons during the Royal visit. It is proposed that as the Ophir steams down the coast from Wellington to Lyttelton on Friday evening, Juno 21st, bonfires should be ighted from Cape Campbell to Banks Peninsula. A large number of settlers along the coast have agreed to co-operate in the idea and others have been written to. The Mayor has sent away an enquiry as to when the Ophir is likely to be off Capo Campbell. The probable time will be announced and those in charge of the bonfires at other points will be asked to calculate the time when the Ophir will be opposite. On the evening of the arrival of the Royal visitors in Christchurch it is proposed to have a long line of bonfires extending from Hoon Bay, south west of the city to Lyttelton and on to Akaroa. The settlers are taking up the idea with a good deal of enthusiasm.
