CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION
DATE OF OPENING. GOVERNOR TO OFFICIATE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Centennial Exhibition will be opened at Rongotai, Wellington, on November 8 of this year, by the Go-vernor-General, Lord Galway. The general manager, Mr C. P. Hainsworth states that an invitation had been extended to Lord Galway by the exhibition directors, as soon as the date for the opening ceremony had been decided upon at a recent board meeting. A letter was received yesterday from the military secretary at Government House, stating that the Go-vernor-General would accept the invitation. The official opening of the exhibition will be one of the most important and spectacular, as well as one of the first of the centennial celebrations in Wellington. It will probably be the first occasion on which the Welsh Guards Band will play in public in New Zealand, its arrival at Wellington being expected on November 2. The High Commissioner’s office, London, has been requested to book the band to travel by the Shaw, Savill liner Tamaroa, due at Wellington on that day.
