But for t'uo heavy rain rf Thursday, which prevented many country people from coining into bown, the excursion train this morning would have earrit-d 500 people to Christ- Church instead of 200, the number who booked. j This morning Constable Jackson brought down by the Mount Somers train a man named John McVickers, who had been be having in a peculiar manner. The man was taken before Drs Leahy and Hunter, and on their certificates was sent to the lunatic asylum. In the District Court this morning, in Chambers, his Honor Judge Ward dealt with two applications under The Adop tion of Children's Act, 1881, and in Banco gave judgment for the amount claimed (£199 7s) and costs in Trustees of R.

The scholars and friends were enjoying their midday repast on the grounds, when the rain began to fall. As there was the shelter of a building with a verandah all got seated on school forms and chairs, and the programme was carried out so far as the usual giving of books and presents was concerned. Hymns were heartily sung Ly all, and addresses given by Rev A. Blake and Mr Dunn, of Flemington. Among the prizes were sixteen from the Presbytery and ten certificates. Soon after this, as the rain continued, an adjournment was made to the Tinwald Hall, where the young people thoroughly cd joyed themselves, and a bountiful tea was served everything being of the best. Mr Meharry moved a vote of thanks to the Domain Board, and to the Sabbath Sohool teachers. The attendance would have been larger but for the epidemic at present affecting several familiep, and the downtall of rain in the afternoon.
