MAYORAL ELECTIONS.
LYTTELTON. The election of Mayor of Lyttelton took place yesterday. On the evening previous the candidates, Messrs B. Weyburne and S. R. Webb, explained their views on the various local matters to a numerous audience in the Colonists’ Hall, presided over by Mr Harry Allwright, the outgoing Mayor. The election excited no very great amount of interest. One or two vehicles for the use of voters were provided, and conveyed to the poll a good number of ratepayers, who otherwise would probably have found scarcely enough attraction there to exercise their so-called “ inestimable privilege.” Shortly after the poll had closed the returning officer, Mr Fred Gibson, put an end to the hopes and doubts of the burgesses by announcing the result of the poll to be— Webb ... 195 Weyburne ... ... 131 Majority for Webb, 64. There were three informal votes recorded.
