Sydney gears up for a public display of loyalty to the crown with Lord Chelmsford's arrival amid marching troops, songs and speeches by G H Reid and B R Wike. A 10,000-child Union Jack crowd awaits at the cricket ground while conditions threaten to curtail rehearsals.
Mr RB A Ranking the Queensland Government’s Commissioner issued the first instalment of a report on liquor laws. The main review covers local option in New Zealand and discusses advantages and disadvantages of no license, noting proximity effects and the enduring possibility of liquor under legal restrictions despite prohibition. The piece cites proponents’ claim that assessment rose after bars opened.
