NEWS FROM THE PORT.
Hampers for Distribution To Needy. As the result of an appeal by the Mayor of Lyttelton (Mr F. E. Sutton) for donations of Roods or money towards providing Christmas cheer to people in distress, two hundred hampers will be distributed from the relief depot today. The Mayor and a band of five assistants had a busy time yesterday afternoon preparing the hampers, each of which contains meat, new potatoes, peas or cabbage, plum-pudding, jellies, sugar and butter. While the helpers were preparing the hampers a note was received by the Mayor from a resident who is over eighty years of age and an old-age pensioner, stating that she had just received the postal note enclosed for 5s and asking the Mayor to accept ft on her behalf to assist someone in need. The Mayor added that it made himself and helpers doubly anxious to carry out the work they were undertaking. Week-end Yachting. Two further Sanders Cup trials will be held at Lyttelton to-morrow afternoon over a windward and leeward course, and two more trials will be held on Monday, one in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon.
