Manawjtu hounds will hunt this week at Glen Oroua on Wednesday and the Kennels, Awapuni, on Saturday, A mimic dir battle, between a Moth and a Grebe, entertained passers-by recently in Cathedral Square, Christchurch. In a cloudless sky the, machines chased their tails round and turned and swooped at one another. Mr Douglas Mill in the Moth was graceful but not speedy. Captain Buckley in the Grebe was both. Ho showed very vividly what speed counts for in an air fight. When the Grebe opened full out to overtake the Moth at one stage the slower machine gave the illusion of travelling in tho opposite direction, so great was the difference in speed. The Christchurch Aero Club is procuring four Moths, which will arrive some time after August, and by the same vessel four will come for the Wigram Aerodrome. The next typo of machine to come to Soekburn will -be a Faircy 3F airplane, with a 450 h.p. Napier-Lcon engine.

“Without animation the Church would die,’ ; said Bishop Sadlior, of Nelson, in the course of a sermon in Christchurch recently. He instanced the difficulties and troubles of tho archbishops and bishops of England in connection with tho revision of tho Book of Common Prayer. “If our people at Home,” said the Bishop, “did not care about their Church, then there would bo no troubles at all. The Church must live in animation, which is the life and soul of its wellbeing.”
