Especially is this applicable to the homes on the route of march, which is as follows:— Leaving the park, the procession pre- ceeds up Albert street to Francis, and south to Diagonal Road, along this to Victoria street, then to Josephine, and to the Park Wingham has an opportunity of making a most favoi-able impression on some thousands of visitors, and if you can say it with bunting, flags or flowers, make a showing that Means a real welcome.
