NEW BISHOP’S ARRIVAL.
Christchurch, March 23,
When Bishop West-Watson arrived at Lyttelton this morning he was met by the whole of the Christ(■.luii'ch clergy and welcomed to the province. He was escorted over the hill by way of Sumner to Christehuich. This route had been followed by Bishop Harper seventy years ago. “I have read of the Canterbury pilgrims," said the bishop, “and it was a thrilling moment to see the bridle track over which the founders of the province passed. In crossing the hill I had the impression that I should unloosen my shoes, as this was holy ground.”
