' SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. A Memorable Wedding Day. Mr. and' Mrs. S. C. Farr,. of Christohurch, were married on June 15, 1850, and yesterday celebrated their golden wedding. More than usual interest attaches to this incident, writes our Christchurch correspondent, for the wedding of the aged pair, still hale and hearty, was the first celebrated in Canterbury. Speaking to a "Press" representative to-day old Mr. Farr said: "Wo both arrived in the Monarch at Akaroa on April 2, 1850. "We saw no chance of getting married at the time, as there was no minister in the district. There was a magistrate, but he could not marry us. Then the magistrate came to my house one morning in Juno, and said: 'I have received notice thie morning that I am appointed Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. If you will come up to my place and seo me we will get it all flied up' j so I went-up and got the arrangements made. Nine days' notice oi tho tnarriagn had to be given, and the notice had to be posted in a public place. 1 don't think there is a more public place than my back door,' said the magistrate. 'The countable comes up-every morning, and In will see it.' The notice was then written out and posted on tho back door. Nine days passed away,- and we went up to the magistrate's house to be married. It was a terrible.day—a sou'-westcr was raging a hurricane, and it was pouring. When we got near the magistrate's house, I could see him sitting reading near a French ca«ment. When I knocked he turned round, and his remark indicated his nationality: 'Bedad, Farr, I didn't think you .would come up on a morning like this.' I said that we could not put off this business. 'Conic- in, J he said, 'and I'll soon'settle you.' This was his first wedding, and he had to look up the book of instructions to see what he had to do. "Did you bring a ring?' ho asked. I produced one, and explained that I had made it from a sovereign for the occasion. We went through tho ceremony—tho usual registrar's ceremony, I supposey and he wished us every happiness. This was the first wedding in Canterbury, and took place just about a month before the province was gazetted. Our names stand first in the registrar's book, which I am told may be seen in Wellington now." Girls' Realm Guild. - . The -members of the Kia Ora Cenitao have been very imic-h encouraged in their •work by the receipt.of the following letter addressed to the secretary from the patients at-Quail Island:—"Please accept our sincere thanks and convey tlie'samc to the nieinbers of yoiir guild for the roost acceptable gift to us oM3ie bagatelle board, which arrived safe' and Bound on Saturday. ..Thanks also for the papers that you are Eending us from week to week." ■ • -■ A Euchre Party.

A very pleasant social evening was spent yesterday at tho Catholic Club rooms in Boulcott Street, the. important business of the evening was the presentation of prizes won at the tournament by the Catholic Tennis Club. Mr. F. Eller apologised for the absenca of Father O'Shea who was to have made the presentation, and called on Mr. J. Webb to do so in his place. Tho prizes were won by the Misses Farna, Meston, and K. Devine, and Messrs. F. Eller, J. O'Leary, and Grant.
