WESTPORT NOTES

(Our Own Correspondent.) Cliristcliurcli Excursion to Westport. WESTPORT, June 14. It is generally expected that many! excursionists will take advantage of the cheap rates from Christchurch this week-end to enjoy a trip through the Buller Gorge. Tin* excursion has been arranged in conjunction with the poultry show in "Westport and no doubt many of the- visitors wil] find plenty to occupy their time during their short stay. Thp trip has not received much booming this end and it looks as if more could have been done to make the project a complete success. It is father unfortunate Canterbury Rugby Union could not see its way to send over a team for the occasion, and as a result interest in the excursion will be somewhat narrowed Efforts were also made to induce a Soccer team Io visit Westport, but without success. However it is to be hoped the clerk of the weather will not plav any tricks and that the trippers will enjoy, under pleasant conditions, every minute of their short holiday in our town. Shipping.
