AFTER THE STORM.
DAJtAPE Tff CANTERBURY. THOUSANDS OF TREES LEVELLED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The gale in Canterbury yesterday was exceptionally severe, especially over the plains, where the velocity was much greater than in Christchurph. The city has escaped with minor damage to fences and a few trees blown down. In the country there was much more serious damage. At Springfield several chimneys were blown down. Five hundred trees are down in the Domain, spme roads have been blocked by faljen trees, and telegraph lines are down. At Kowhai Bush trees were uprooted, and some sheds blown down. It is clear firom reports to hand that thousands of trees mUst have been blown dpwn all over the plain. The flood danger from the Waimakanri River, about which Dr. Kidson sent a special warning, seems likely to pasg. Telegraph linesmen fought against high winds yesterday to maintain communications. All over the province damage was done by the big storm on Saturday night, but in the face of manv diffir culties much of the damage has been repaired.
