CAPE TOWN CORONATION FESTIVAL

It is now announced, in connection with the Coronation festival, that the Governor will hold a levee in the morning, and Lady Hely-Hutchinson will give a garden party in the afternoon, following upon the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the statue to the King which, as at present proposed, will be erected on the Parade in front of the new Town Hall. Sir Walter will drive to the site along a route to be determined on, which will give all classes of the King’s subjects an opportunity of seeing His Majesty’s representative. It is suggested that there should be a naval display in Table Bay.

The transport Dilwara arrived at Southampton on Thursday with a large number of troops invalided from the front.
