About a hundred members altogether (including Legislative Councillors) intend to avail themselves of Messrs Joubert and Twopenny's invitation, and rhe facilities offered by Hie Union Company. Many members, however, proceed direct south, and will not take part in the festivities. Probably not more than 50 will remain in Christchurch throughout the proceedings. About eight special correspondents will accompany the members. Mr Steward's proposal to amend the standing orders, with a viow to shortening the session, are meeting with very general approval. An effort is also to be made to introduce the system of recording votes on division by means of electric telegraph, each member touching on the desk before him the " aye " or "no " knob, when his vote is instantly recorded on a board, visible from all parts of the House.
