PARLIAMENTARY PICNIC.
WANGANUI'S WELCOME. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wanganui, Last Night. The visiting- (Parliamentarians were taken to Castleeliff this morning, and shown the harbor works. They were very favorably impressed as to the prospects of a complete scheme. For months past a depth of 22 feet has been- maintained. Tlris is exactly as predicted by Mr. Leslie Reynolds, though the cost has been under his estimate. The Harbor Board, therefore, feel justified in asking for a loan of £250,000 to complete the scheme, which will give between 32 and 33 feet on the bar. This afternoon the party were driven to Nukumaru and inspected the huge area of magnificent country lying between there and Wanganui. To-night a farewell smoke concert was held, and the visitors Ijeft at 11.30 by special train for Wellington.
