THE ROYAL VISIT.

Wellington, June 20. -’a- .v, h

UK'i. d .i.-: -i the sun .-hone out ice almost the first time this week.

Owing to rain and the fear of slips the projected trip over the Eimutaka was abandoned, and their Highnesses paid a visit to the factories at Pctonc instead. They inspected the woollen mills (this being the first time tec Duke has seen one), our company’s meat works and the railway workshops, and at the meat works ite not only went through the free* ing chambers, but tasted the meats. A number of presentations by officials and others were made. The Woollen Company presented the Duebcss with a rug having her arms worked upon it. The Royal visitors appeared to take great interest in all that they saw. The residents assembled in great numbers to welceme the party and received them with hearty cheers. Great precautions were taken that there should be no accident on the line, no fewer than 405 men being employed on special service for the occasion.

For the general public in town there was a public display arranged by Mr J. Moore, of the missions to seamen, principally on behalf of Hie men of warsmen. The programme contained boat races of various kinds, and comic displays, and were watched by a large number of spectators from the shore. Three submarine explosions formed part of the proceedings. Two boats and a beer barrel were blown up with gun cotton and the performance was voted a great success.

It may be mentioned that the Royal paity were greatly pleased with the musical programme at the reception last night,' and the Duchess specially complimented Mr McLaughlin, conductor, on the result of tho performers’ efforts.

It is generally conceded that the illuminations surpass anything that was expected. The Post Office is admittedly the finest sight of the sort that has been seen in the colony, and many never get tired of looking at it. Indefinite pains have been taken in perfecting tho display and tho time and labor involved must have been enormous. Those who are responsible for the work deserve credit for the result of their efforts.

Thousands of people thronged tho harbor frontages to-night to witness tho fireworks’ display, which was carried out from the hulks lying off tho Queen’s wharf and from tho Government steamer Tutanekai, The fact of it being a fine night contributed largely to the enjoyment of the scene, Lat> ron in tho evening tho streets were crowded with people viewing tho illuminations, which were again in full swing.

Christchurch, June 20,

It is announced here that the Ophir will leave Wellington at 4 to-morrow afternoon, and will steam along at 12 knots an hour. Sho is expected off Cape Campbell at about 7.30, and tho first of the long line of coastal bonfires will then be lighted at tho Cape. Fain has fallen off and on all day and tho decoralious present a bedraggled a;pect. Work in connection with tho special displays' made by the Westland province and the shipping, frozen meat and agricultural and pastoral industries are being pushed on. It is anticipated that outside those displays and the Government arch, public decorations will not bo very suecesiful. So far there has been practically no attempts at private decorations. The feature of the visit, however, will bo the large number of illuminations, both public and private. It is expected that the illumination of Christchurch Cathedral will bo the best thing of the kind seen in New Zealand.

Wellington, Juno 20. The English journalists at present in Wellington and Sir Donald Wallace of the Ducal suite were entertained by the local branch of the Journalists Institute to-day, The visitors expressed themselves highly delighted with the attention received in New Zealand and feared they would be killed wiih kindness before they left. Some of them to their surprise found old acquaintances among those present. They avowed a considerable surprise and pleasure at the high status of the newspapers in the colony. Capetown. June 21. The Cape Colony will spend ono hundred thousand pounds in welcoming the Cornwalls. People are flocking into Capetown in thousands and from many miles away. SANDER & SONS’ EUCALYPTI EXTRACT’—Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communication made by the Minister forfForeign Affairs, through the Consul-General or Italy at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Mdical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, forming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pursolatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognise by the Medical Division of the Prussian Goernment to bo of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we vtate:—

It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clines at Griefswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop*the sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authoritl is, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Tl ese crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible: -

1. By their deficiency in pungent odor (which our product, the only genuine Eusa lypki Extract, develops most freely through ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile appearance, being reduced to specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats. If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling.
