AUSTRALASIAN FEATURES OF THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.
Among the novel features of the Lord Mayor's procession which took place in London on November the 9th, was an allegorical trophy on an ap-propriately-decorated car, drawn by four horses, representing the Colonies of Australia, exhibiting bales of wool and. other products, also certain distinctive plants and animals, attended by two colonists attired as stockmen. A still more elaborate trophy, borne on a similar car, represented the Empire of India, ornamented with animals, plants, and products distinctive of the country, attended by native dignitaries in costume, and followed by two Indian elephants. Another interesting feature of the show was a car containing 30 or 40 carcases of New Zealand frozen mutton, exhibited by the Smithfield salesmen, Messrs Ward and Stimson, who have taken so great an interest in the introduction of Colonial meat to the London • public. The exhibition was very heartily cheered.
