CHRISTCHURCH NEWS.
(From Our Jwn Correspondent.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 1. DRY SPELL ENDS. The long spell of dry weather ended to-day, when a light rain set in. It lasted for a few hours, the afternoon being fair, but dull and chilly. Conditions this evening are damp and further rain is expected. Last month was the driest February for 21 years, and it suited the harvest time admirably, after a somewhat tempestuous January. BEQUEST OF £2OO. A bequest of £2OO to the Canterbury Cricket Association, from the late Mr R. B. Ward, is announced. Mr Ward was treasurer of the Association for thirteen years, and an ardent supporter of the game. MINISTER TO FLY. The Hon. T. M. Wilford is expected in Christchurch on Sunday, and will leave for Oamaru on Monday to discuss the formation of an Aero Club there. On the following Friday he will fly to Blenheim from Christchurch. BOWLING. Eight rinks from the Dunedin Bowling Centre visited Christchurch to-day and defeated the Canterbury representatives by 19 4 to 172. In the Redpath Shield contest Otago won 5 games and Canterbury three. The South Canterbury ring, skipped by T. Edwards, was defeated by Harraway’s rink, by 2 7 to 16.
