The officers' horses will be stabled in various, parts of the .borough. The Borough Council are allowing the uae of water free, and their surveyor is at present engaged in superintending the work of laying the pipes.

College Rifles will be held at 8.30 p.m. ; to-day. The Christchurch City Rifles will hold [ their annual meeting at 8 p.m. on Monday . next.
