Meetings of the Provisional Directors will be called by the Working Committee from time to time, for the purpose of receiving and dealing with applications for the allotment of shares and admission of members. The necessity for such an institution is generally recognised, as there are many residents of Christchurch and the country districts who have long felt the want of a Club to provide accommodation at a moderate cost and in accordance with their requirements. The favourable manner in which the project has been received affords assurance of success ; and, as many of those who desire to become members have expressed their intention of taking several shares, it may reasonably be expected that there will bo little delay in bringing the matter to a satisfactory issue. Forms of application for shares may be obtained on and after Monday, the 24th June, from any of the Provisional Directors. 2774 Properties for Sale. FOR SALE—A BARGAIN.
