GALE CAUSES DAMAGE.
BIG CHRISTCHTTRCH BLOW. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Sunday. One of the strongest gales for some years was experienced in the city this morning. Although of very high velocity, the gale was not gusty enouyh to cause the damage which might have been expected. Trees were stripped of leaves, making a big task for City Council employees clearing street cnan nels all day from early morning. Some windows were broken, fences and awninge were blown away, and trees blown down in the city. A tool shed was blown over a road at Sumner Causeway. There were short interruptions in the power supply.
