The Canterbury cricket team for the interprovincial match leaves for Uunedin today. It is considered the strongest ever sent. •• Longt>top " in the Times says the team is strong in bowling, stronger in batting, but strongest in flelding. The Eaiapoi clerical scandal has resulted in a letter to the parishioners of Kaiapoi from the Primate who cays that portion of the charges home oufc by evdience only showed that Mr Carfcyon had evinced a want o» judgment and discretion in his eagerness to carry out his ministrations in the way he had found useful and successful in his English cure, but which were novelties in Eaiapoi, and he had thus given some color to the charges against him. The Primate comi dered it due to Mr Carlyon and the interests of the church thit Mr Carlyon should retain the cure of Eaiapoi.
