Sir George Grey arrived at Christchurch at 5.45 p.m. Very few people wore on the platform, but those present cheered vociferously. He was accompanied by Mr. Fisher, Post-master-General, and the private secretary (Mr. Mitchell). He was driven in a drag and four to the Commercial Hotel. He w^l address the citizens at the Qdd fellows' Hajl at 7.30 to-morrow. 16th March. The young girl found drowned has been identified as a domestic servant. The whole thing is considered very mysterious. An inquest will be held to-day. An address was presented to Sir George Grey this morning by the Sydenham Borough Council. He receives several deputations on Monday. This evening he addresses a public meeting at the Odd Fellows' Hall. At the meeting re New Guinea expedition last night, it was stated that 32 had already joined. The Canterbury ram and ewe fair, held during the last two days, was a great success ; but the ram tair was greatly overstocked. Prices all round were in consequence very low.
