THE LATE SIR JOSEPH WARD.

IMPRESSIVE SIOENES AT INVERCARGILL. Invercargill, Lash Night. The train bearing the 'body of Sir Joseph Ward steamed into Invercargill station to-night with a muffled whistle blowing’ and came to a standstill, with the mortuary van opposite the passage way through which the cortege was l to pass. With the cessation of the rumble of the train an eerie silence fell upon flue station. The huge crowd in the precincts of the station stood with bared heads awaiting the appearance of the cortege.

The casket was placed on a gun carriage and the cortege moved off led by a guard of honour with the Southland Caledonian Pipe Band oi which Sir Joseph had been patron for many years immediately in front of the gun carriage which was followed by the mourners.

'The procession moved off to a lament played by the band and passed through a silent lane of people which lined the entire route to the Basilica.

There were several thousands in (he crowd all of whom had gathered to pay homage to the distinguished statesman. The casket was received into the church-by the Bishop of Dunedin and a short service was held, the church being crowded.
