KEEN ELECTIONS PROBABLE. Under tho amended rules nf the Lyttelton Wharf Labourers] Union, the annual general meeting will take place in Lyttelton, on June 25., and, judging by tho nominations received for the various offices, it appears as if the elections will be keenly contested.

The following is a list of the nominations received, members of the old Union being signified by the letter 0: President—W. Wright, J. Flood (0), J. Reid (0), J. Wilson (0). Vice-president—W. Blake, J. Gardner (O). J. Goodman (0). Secretary—R. M. Stewart, W. E. Amir (0). Trustees—W. Blake and W. Wright.
