NEWS OF THE DAY.
The people of Geraldine are showing a lively interest in the forthcoming har. hour election. We are informed that there are a few citizens of Timaru too, not connected with the Harbour Board, who are talking about arranging for a public meeting to discuss the situation.
Commencing to-day, the 14th instant, the telegraph office, Timaru, will cease closing between 5 and 7 p.m., and remain open for the transaction of business daily—except Sundays and holidays—from 9 a.m. till 8 p.m. The Sunday hours are 5 to 5.30 p.m., and holidays 9 to 10 a.m, and 7 to 8 p.m.
The annual parish and Sunday school festival in connection with St. Mary’s Anglican Church, Geraldine, was held in the park on Friday last. It had been postponed from the previous day owing to the wet weather. There was a large gathering. The Eev. J. Preston, the vicar, Mrs Preston, superintendent of the Sunday school, and a host of willing helpers, were kept busily employed throughout the afternoon and evening. The races were keenly contested by the younger ones, and at dusk those present separated after having most thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
