OBITUARY.
IT was with sincere regret the death of Mr Arthur Morton Ollivier would be read by nearly every one in Christchurch, on taking up the paper this morning, though not entirely unexpected. He has been trying to recruit his health for some weeks past, doing the Island trip, but without much result. On his return from Sydney he was advised to go to Castle Hill, and only returned from there about 10 days ago, gradually getting worse until he passed away this morning. He has been closely associated with all athletic sports, especially cricket, and every cricketer throughout New Zealand will mourn the loss of so good a friend to the ‘noble game.’ He has been a true friend to many in Christchurch in a very unostentatious way, and was an enthusiastic alpine climber, also a clever and enthusiastic amateur gardener. He leaves a wife, two sons, and one daughter, for whom the greatest sympathy is expressed.
