CHRISTCHURCH.
This day. A pair oared race on the Avon, between four ladies connected with the dramatic profession, took place yesterday and created great interest. The distance was half a mile; the stakes, a lady's hat. Two of the ladies were known as the " light crew and two as the " heavies." The betting was in favor of the latter, but the little ones got away with a good start and won by about four lengths, amidst the cheers of a large number of spectators.
At the Supreme Court this morning the argument in the case of Benjamin v. The Sun for libel was postponed for three weeks, Mr Joynt stating that he wished to obtain evidence from Dunedin to justify the article over which the action was brought.
