THE DIAMOND JUBILEE.
Sitt, — Will you kindly allow me, through the medlnm ot your valnable oolnmns, to make a sngßeatlon to the Anglloan churchmen of (he diocese of Walspa and the city of Napier? The unfinished ohapel at the north-east corner of the Cathedral is both a hideous eyesore, completely spoiling the appearance of the northern frontage of the building, and a source of great weakness to the main itrnoture. In the event of a heavy earthquake that portion of the Cathedral might pnißlbly naffer. The cost of the completion of this chapel is estimated at £600, bnt I understand that £200 of tbU sum has already been promised, I should snggent; that steps be at onoe taken to raise the £300 required, and that the chapel be completed, and called the Victoria Chapel, in lasting oomraemoration of the moßt glorlons reign in English history. I feel nnre that if the authorities would tako np this matter heartily the money wonld be very speedily eubecribßd. —I am, &0,, A Lay Synodsman. Napier, Jane Ist, 1897.
