King George V. yesterday completed 13 years on the Throne—nearly double the term served by his illustrious father, the late King Edward VII. The anniversary was fittingly celebrated throughout the Empire, and in the churches appropriate prayers of thanksgiving were offered. In Auckland the ships of the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy—the Philomel, Laburpum, Veronica, and the mine-sweeper Wakakura—were dressed for the occasion. A salvo of 21 guns was fired from H.M.S. Philomel at noon to-day, this tribute having been postponed from yesterday on account of it being Sunday. LONG MAY HE REIGN!
