It is expectea that other members of the Cabinet will also be present. Both functions are being looked forward to with keen interest by , people in all parts of the; Ellesmere electorate, and it is apparent that the two gatherings will be amongst the most notable; ever held in the district. Hie garden: party will be neld in the afternoon; in the beautiful grounds at Meadow--bank, by permission of Captain Tahu Rhodes.- No charge will be made'for admission, and the presentation to Sir Heaton will be made during the afternoon. - Judging by the number of ladies and' gentlemen who have already obtained tickets for the banquet, the' Lees ton Town Hall will pot be large enough for® this function, and it will most likely be necessary to hold it in the Farmers' Co-operative Association's large store at the Lake road railway siding. A definite decision regarding this matter will be made at a ineeting of the committee to be held' in Chrißtchurch t it afternoon, when full details for both the garden party and the banquet will be settled.
