CHRISTCHURCH.
Yesterday. Yesterday no less than 109 800 bushels of wheat were carried through to Lyttelton—a bigger day's work than has ever been done since the line opened. At night Lyttelton was so blocked that fourgoods trains bad to wait in the- Christ* church yard till the port could receive them. At a meeting of the Board of Education to-day, Mr S. C. Farr's motion, of which notice was given a month ago, recommending that Government allow the School Committee :to introduce Bible reading into the district schools, was withdrawn after considerable discussion. The majority of members were of opinion that religious instruction could be given out of school hours without any alteration in the Act being required. The Rev. C Bowen, Episcopalian minister of Riccarton, wrote stating that he had given such instruction to children at Riccarton school for years.
