GORGE NOT CLEARED
— ' — TO-MORROW’S PROSPECTS. d The heavy rain yesterday and last even--1 ing has undone most of the repair work j. which was being carried out to the slips at Otira, and in addition several wash-outs ] have occurred, making the position worse, t Latest advice is to the effect that there is - very little hope of the road being in use I to-morrow, and the earliest it is expected £ to be clear is Friday. This means that j arrangements will have to be macle to- > morrow again fox’ passengers and mails to • be conveyed through the tunnel. 5 Those who yesterday used this 3 method of coming over to this side of j the Alps seemed to have enjoyed the , experience. Many of them, in fact, x preferred it to the overland journey 1 for the dual reason that the bleak ' weather would take all the pleasure ? out of the gorge trip, and the priviJ. lege of using the tunnel has not yet ’ lost its uniqueness. Those travelling to Christchurch in - the morning include several athletes 1 who are taking part in the two days’ sports organised by the Christchurch St. Patrick’s Athletic Association.
