The Matob's "At Home."— There was a very large attendance at the City Council Chambers from 3 to 6 p.m. yesterday, when the Mayor of Christchurch and Mrs and Miss Louisson were "at home" to all citizens who chose to avail themselves of the opportunity. Every class of the community was represented in the 300 people who were present, and the afternoon passed very brightly. The library was used as a reception room, and light reixe&nments, provided by Mr Freeman, were served in the large Council Chamber. Mr Rossiter's orchestra played excellent music during the afternoon.
