With Mr James were his father and mother, from Cambridge. Felisitous speeches were made by Mr J. W. Civil, county engineer, and Mr T. Grant, county clerk, in which they referred to the cordial relationships existing and the conscientiousness of Mr James, whom all wished success in his new career. Mr James was asked to accept, as a token of kindly remembrances, a solid leather suit-case. Mr James feelingly responded, and said if as pleasant associations were experienced in Canterbury as at Te Awamutu he would indeed be fortunate. ,
