CHRISTCHURCH.
Thursday.
At the Agricultural and Pastoral Association this afternoon it was resolved that the trial ot reapers and binders should take place during the present month on Mr Bong's farm. The entries close on the 14th instant. The contestants, so far as at present known, will be Osborne, Marsh, .King, and Buckeys. Francis Valpy, late in the Railway Office, was to-day committed for trial on a charge of embezzling funds belonging to the Railway Employees Benefit Society. Bail was accepted, himself in £400, and two sureties of £200 each.
This morning the Times came out with an article on the great benefit its readers would derive henceforth through their special telegraph arrangement: the emptiness of the boast was shown by the Press which contained a large amount of additional telegraphic news, including the submission of Zechoob Khan, the Victorian races, the Auckland races, articles on' the wreck of the Mecca, etc. , All the reporters on the staff of the Times now have to act as telegraph agents in addition to their other onerous duties.
