There were ' upwards of 500 of them, and their aggregate value was in excess of £250,000. The Christchurch Sun says : For . tho first time for many years the Moderator of the "Presbyterian General Assembly appeared yesterday in court dress. tDhougJh such appai'el is quite in order, and in Sigptlaiiff is the rule, the Rev. W. Gray Dixon, "M.A. , is the first Moderator since "the Rev. Dr. Gibb's term of office to appear in full official vestments. From the speptacular point of view -the effect is" marred a! little on the present, occasion by clashing with a Geneva gown and, Glasgow academic hood. To others, however, the result is symbolical of the throe instjtuljions which a moderator should represent— the Court, the Church, and the University. Our Money-saving Sale is now on. Ladies', Gents' and Children'9 Footwear of every description is beuig offered at ■ much bellow ordinary prioes. We shall be pleased to see (old customers and ne"""** ones. — H. J.
