NOTES AND MEMORANDA.

The Superintendent of the Lytfcelton Sailors' Home acknowledges with thanks the receipt of a parcel of illustrated Home papers from Mr P, Cunningham. Yesterday afternoon, at .the Tuam street Hall, the Mayor of Christchurch addressed a meeting of ladies. The speaker dealt with the mode of conducting the ballot and the plan of voting. He also pointed out what seemed to him a glaring inconsistency, viz., that the Women's Christian Temperancs Union were anxious to get Sir Robert Stout to stand for Christchurch when they knew that gentleman was a mast pronounced Freethinker. The Mayor appealed to all ladies to register, and stated that he would be at the Council Chambers from 9.30 to 11 each morning, and the Mayoress from 2 till 3.30 each day, in order to register votes of ladies and gentlemen. He also invited ladies to join a Committee to be formed this afternoon, at 3 p.m., at the Tuam street Hall.

Entries for the Christ's College Old Boys' race will be received by any of the Committee up till October 6th.
