CHRISTCHURCH CATHEDRAL.
A contract has been let for the completion of the nave of the cathedral •3 regards the stone and timber work. Messrs William Stocks and Co., tho successful tenderers, have undertaken to carry out the work, including clerestory, large aroh at the east end of the nave, roofs of the aisles and nave, also a temporary sanctuary of an apsidal form, for a sum of £9588. This excludes Minton tile 3 and window glass, which are together estimated to cost £520. The Cathedral Commission are to be congratulated in making a strenuous effort to complete a portion at least of tho cathedral, especially when the fact is borne in mind that only £7OOO is available out of the Church Property Trust Loan. The commission however believe that the public will subscribe further sums when it is seen that the building is really a fact, and that services are to be held within its walls in a year or so.
