The Procession That Didn't

We had a private one of our own called "The Royal Commission into Wellington Sanitation" which wound its dignified and not unacknowledged way through the early morning crowds (?) Dons and bishops, [unclear: an] bassadors and judges, mayor and councillors and an unexpected object from under the sycamore tree were there, but pray God and the Met. Department we have procesh next year. The whole day from dawn, floats and all, was weighed down—waterlogged:
