Strachan in an address to the Canterbury Fruitgrowers’ Association on Saturday evening on “ Eastern Markets. It was pointed out by the speaker that the raising of the standards of living in the East offered New Zealand great trade possibilities.
The Christchurch Regatta has been unfortunate this season as far as the weather conditions are concerned. A fortnight ago the heavy easterly rain which brought relief to Canterbury farmers caused the regatta to be postponed. Conditions were again threatening on. Saturday morning and it was with some apprehension that the rowers left for Kairaki. The weather, however favoured them and although the easterly wind was chilly, the comparative!}' few spectators were not visited by the heavy shower which fell in and around Christchurch at about 2.30 p in. The postponement of the regatta a fortnight ago resulted in the non-parti-cipation on Saturday of the Wellington, Petone, Star (Wellington), and Port Chalmers crews, who had previously made the trip to no purpose.
