Boys in Camp. Fourteen boys of the Christ Church Bible Class are to leave at 8 a.m. this morning for Raorikia where they are to go into camp for the week-end and will return on Monday night. During the time they are under canvas the boys will participate in song services, sports and various other activities.

Water Supply There is an acute shortage of water at the present time and city authorities are endeavouring to get through the period without enforcing hosing restrictions. It is thought, however, that if weather conditions do not change within the next few days there would definitely have to be some restriction applied. Road Cycling Championship.
