GREYMOUTH HARBOR WORKS.
[by telegraph.] Greymouth, July &.
A grand demonstration took place this; afternoon at the commencement of the breakwater of the Greymouth harbor works in accordance with Sir J. Coode'a plans. The new bridge across the lagoon was formally opened, and on the first trucks of stone being emptied on the breakwater, speeches were delivered by the Mayor and others. Since the protective works were first commenced the export of coal from Greymouth has been quadrupled, and if the present works are completed, Greymouth mines could supply fifty thousand tons a week. The whole affair to-day was a great success.
