CHRISTCHURCH.
This day.
O'Connor won the seven miles walking match to-day by half a lap easily, much to the surprise of Bowley's backers* Bowley was generally fancied by the public, as O'Connor was thought to have over trained himself. The time is variously given as from 55mins. 41secs. to oGmins 44§secs, and as the track was heavy this is remarkably good time.
A well known auctioneers' fiua at Leeston has suspended payment during the week, the Bank sid Loan Company holding pretty well a l' the assets.
There are rumors of other suspensions about to take place, and an uneasy feeling is abroad as to the result of the next three or four months.
