THE PRIME MINISTER.
ARRIVAL AT AUCKLAND.
* - A CORDIAL RECEPTION.
Auckland, September 30. Sir Joseph Ward, Lady Ward, and party arrived from Suva by H.M.S. Challenger about 10 a.m. to day after a good trip. Light rain fell during the forenoon, but it cleared off before midday and the reception took place in fine weather, although a slight shower fell towards its elusion. The Prime Minister landed from the warship at 3 o’clock, and a procession was formed from the wharf to Albert Park. The shipping and city were decorated with bunting, and a large crowd of people assembled in the streets along the water front and at Albert Park. There was a good turn-out of volunteers and cadets, the former lining a portion of the line of route of the procession of carriages. The veterans formed a guard of honour at the landing steps and also at the Park, where several thousand people had assembled.
