VETERANS' PARADE AT ST. JAMES'S CHURCH.
The veterans of the South African war celebrated the signing of peace in that campaign on Sunday, sth inst., by holding a church parade at St. James's Church. The veterans, together with members of the Returned Soldiers' Association, and the Waiwetu Troop of the Legion of Frontiersman, fell in at the Lower Hutt railway station and marched to the church, headed by the Hutt Municipal Band. An appropriate service was conducted by the Venerable Archdeacon Hansell. The parade was led by Sergeant-Major Felton, secretary of the Hutt Valley R.S.A. Two local Maori war veterans also took part in the proceedings—Mr. John Campbell, who performed with the band, marching with them from the station, and Captain T. Humphries, a veteran of some 86 summers who joined the troop at the church gates.
