The diamond jubilee of Canterbury Presbyterianism is being celebrated in Christchurch. Though the period covered begins with the formation of the Canterbury Presbytery in 1864, it really dates, back to 1843, when Presbyterian. pioneers settled in the district. The Presbyterian congregations are having thanksgiving services on. Sunday, and in many instances are bringing former ministers to officiate. Monday is to be devoted to the celebrations, > when there are to be a morning sederunt, a public luncheon at the Farmers’ Co-operative Association, an afternoon meeting, a tea at 6 p.m.. given 'by the ladies of the P.A., and a conversazione in the Caledonian Hall at 7.30 p.m., to which the public will be admitted. Greetings are being received from representative Presbyterians and Presbyteries, , .ami from other churches. At the evening meeting the Primate, the Mayor, Dr. Chilton, the Prime Minister and other distinguished, men representing public interests are announced to speak. A. programme of orchestral and other music has been prepared. In acknowledging a representative cap presented to him by the New Zealand Rugby Union, Sir Henry Braddon, president of the New South Wales Rugby Union, writes as follows: “Nothing can dim the glamour that attaches to the old O.R.F.U. cap, with its “New Zealand Team, 1884” inscription; but still I .ara very glad to havethe other. Perhaps I appreciate still more your Union’s very kindly references to the work done here —mainly by others—to restore the Rugby Union to its rightful place in public estimation : and on this side w'e do not in the least shut our eyes to the circumstances that the big factor ip our recovery has been the steady and sportsmanlike sympathy of the New, Zealand Union. I trust no such dark days will ever cloud the football atmosphere in New Zealand, hut if his should happen you may. I think, rely upon our staunchest sympathy and support. "Will you kincllv convey to your manae.ement committee my most sincere thanks?” Sir Henry Bracldon. learnt his football in New Zealand, and represented the Dominion in 1884.
