THE CANTERBURY JUBILEE CARNIVAL.

The Catholics of Christchurch are putting forth their best efforts to make the forthcoming Canterbury Jubilee Imperial Carnival the most successful of its kind ever held in the Colony. Our Christchurch correspondent writes as follows :—: —

The ' Jubilee Pavilion,' in Gloucester street, ia, with the exception of the internal fittings, almost ready for occupation, and will prove exceptionally well adapted for the purposes of its erection, viz.. the holding of the Imperial Carnival, and the great spectacular display by Signor Borzoni of • England's Call to her Empire.' Tha general committee and various sub-committees are holding frequent meetings;, whilst the lady stall-holders, and their army of assistants, are actively preparing for the event. There is every indication that all will be in readinesafor the opening night, on Friday, November 2nd. His Lordship the Bishop is most anxious that all friends having books of art union tickets will make every effort to dispose of them as speedily as possible, and forward blocks and remittances in time. This is all the more necessary since the prizes are exceptionally valuable, and were procured at a considerable outlay. The Catholics of Christchurch, and indeed of the whole diocese (as the building of the Cathedral is of necessity a diocesan undertaking), are in great hopes of making the carnival and art union a phenomenal success, and if hard work iand constant application go for anything they well deserve to succeed.
