Mr Scott Bennett, the Socialist lecturer, is expected here this afternoon to address tho crowd. At 11.30 a.m. a monster procession was formed in the main street., and marched to the recreation ground. The crowd was perfectly orderly, and for the most part appear not to rcaliso the gravity of the situation. The gathering had rather the appearance of big holiday making under prosperous conditions. Mr Donaldson, on behalf of the Hospital' Board,, proceeds to Wellington to-night to ask the Government for assistance for the institution if the strike continues. A great number of children remained from tihe public schools to attend with their parents at the strikers' sports meeting. The few attending were given a half-holiday.
