“The Press” In 1866
June 6 TELEGRAPH CHESS.—We hear that the Christchurch Chess Club have called a meeting of members of their committee this evening, at seven p.m., to take into consideration a challenge received from a similar institution at Nelson. We trust that all would-be members will at once join, and lend a helping hand to do honor to the province. It is proposed to play the match by telegraph. ROLLESTON.—The town sections will shortly be sold by auction by Messrs. Ollivier and Son. The Great Southern
Railway will for the present have its terminus at the Town of Rolleston, where also various lineS for tramways diverge. The advantages of this position for a town are obvious; it is situated exactly opposite the Railway station near Weeden, and will be the depot for the surrounding neighbourhood down to the Lake, and up to the Malvern Hills . . . The sections will be open for application at the upset price of £25 per half-acre, as laid out on the plans, and the applicant shall become the purchaser if no advance is made upon that price at the sale. . . .
