A TOWN CLOCK.
[Per Pbsbs Association.! INVERCARGILL, Amh 4. The clock and chimes in the post office tower were started formally to-day by the Mayor, Mr Kaeside. There was a large gathering and several speeches were made* The clock was supplied by Messrs Littlejohn and Boa, Wellington, the Corporation paying £250 towards it, and keeping it lit, Mr Littlejohn says that the chimes are the most perfect, musically, in- the ppjopy. Unfortunately, the tower is too low, and the dials are not readily peen, and f° r the same reason the range of sound of the chimes is much less than would have been the case had the elevation been greater. The four bells were cast by Messrs Cable and Co., Wellington, and their tone {neet« general approval. .
