CHRISTCHURCH AREA.

HEAVY RECRUITING ON SATURDAY.

EIGHTY-THREE SIGN ON. Recruiting was very brisk in tho city on Saturday, the total enlistments received, eighty-three, being the highest for tho week.

Owing probably to three outstanding features, the naval action, the death of Lord Kitchener and the discussion on the Military Service.
