Prosperity
«*_ Thk Canterbury Times says.— "Bad iime« we have, ot course ; everybody says so ; yet the totalisator managed .o see £25.000 pass through its machinery. The races were exceedingly well atiended by a well-dressed population, and the amusements were all very nobly patronised. Everybody enjoyed himself and nobody got drunk. At tho same time we observe by the returns that nominated immigration keeps up, whicb means that a lars^e number of people think well enough of the Colony to take upon themselves the responsibility ©f getting their friends out. The Bank of New South Wales has declared a dividend of 17£ per cent., which means a great deal, and there is a recovery in the customs, so that things are not quite so bad as they are painted." _____ m _ mmmmm^ mmmmmm^ J
