CHRISTCHURCH ACID DROPS
• BY ROBIN GOODFELLOW. The Cathedral City has been very quiet this week in overy respect. Bessie Doyle has been the principal attraction in the theatrical line and must have done good business. # * # * # The Licensing Bench had another meeting and heard an application for the transfer of license from the Gaversham hotel to the Scotch Stores. The latter place is one of the houses closed, as causing the greatest amount of - inconvenience under the circumstances the bench decided to adjourn the application till the quarterly meeting. # # # * During the week Christohurch has • - ' ■ ■. .x: '•- '■ X'.' 1 • been sloppy, decidedly sloppy, mud, mud, mud is everywhere. # # . ■# # The very genial chief reporter on the Lyttelton Times, Mr George Moon was the recepient of a very handsome hundred guinea gold watch and*chain in recognisition of his uniform kindness and courtesy. lam sure few in Christchurch deserve the compliment more, and the general hope is that he will be long spared among us to add further laurels to those already gathered by tbis rising journalist. It is quite probable that my next Acid Drops will be addressed from Invercargill as I am writing this era route for there, If I do not send any next week I shall be back in Christchurch within a week. -'"•.- " •'*■*■■ ' -' c ■■■
