At tike clos* ing session this morning Professofl Shelley will deliver an address on "Ait and Handicraft." When the question arose in the Supreme Court yesterday as to the date upon which certain prisoners sh/ould come up for sentence, his Honour Mr Justice Adams remarked: "Next week, I understand the activities of Christchurch will be given up to the main business of the year—'(laughter)— and there will be some difficulty in carrying on the business of the Court." His Honour fixed 10 o'clock on Monday morning for imposing sentences. During the hearing of the alleged bookmakmg case at the Supreme Court yesterday, his Honour showed some anxiety as to whether the jury understood what a "double chart" was: but counsel assured his Honour tuat these documents were not so rare and that it might be assumed with safety that members of the jury knew what they were. Mr F. D. Sargent, one of the counsel appearing for accused, remarked • that a (few day* ago he saw a "double chart" lying on the footpath in front of the Police Station, but did not pick it up because of the liability to be accused of following the business of a bookmaker. Later the Crown Prosecutor (Mr A. T. Donnelly) remarked that owing to the unjustifiable timidity of counsel for the defence they did not have a printed chart to produce as an exhibit. A handsome gift has been made to Canterbury College by Mr H. A. Cowper, who has had the special editions of ihe illustrated London "Graphic," depicting scenes at the Coronations of King Edward VII. and King George V. beautifully bound and deposited in . the College Library.

I Just recently we announced a reduc- | tion of £BO in the price of Economy Light Six-Cylinder Studebakers. and £SO each in the prices of Special Sixcylinder and Rig Six-cylinder Studebiakers. We are now faced with nearly double the amount of the former duty on our shipments of Studebake© cars arriving on and after January Ist next. This will inevitably increase the prices of Studebakers in the near future, but as we have a stock of duty-paid cars on hand, we have decided to keep faith with the public, and to eell all cars now in stock at the reduced prices recently announced. The present stock is limited, and wise buyers will therefore take advantage of our reductions announced last month, and secure a Studebaker car at the low prices now ruling. -___ GOLDEN SHOW OF STTJDEBAKERS AT OLYMPIC.
