BOXING DAY.
Boxing Day broke dull and cloudy. The oxcossive heat which prevailed on Christmas Day continued during the night, until about 8 o'clock the following morning, whon a light southerly wind sot in, bringing with it low and threatening clouds, which, as they continued to thicken till about noon, prevented many from taking part in the various amusements that had been provided, "■ There was, however, no reason to fear steady rain, for although a few small drops fell at intervals, it soon became apparent that the change in the aspect of the sky was entirely owing to the cooling of .the atmosphere. The clouds hung about all day, and those who were not deterred from carrying out their day's programme found that the day could not have boon better. Excursion trains wore run to and from Wellington, both being well patronized. About 200 visitors arrived, and about the same number of persons left.
