"ON THE SPREE."
♦ JACK TARS SMASH WINDOWS. DISPERSE OPERA HOUSE AUDIENCE. BY TEIiEOHAI'II - PIIESS ASSOCIATION. CHRISTCHURCH, January 3. The men-o-warsmen off the warships now in port have been making their presence noticeably felt in Christchurch. Last night a number of them, all more-or-less in a state of inebriety, proceeded to break windows and smash things generally in a board-ing-house in Moorehouse Avenue. At the Opera House, too, some of the Jack Tars interrupted the performance to such an extent that large numbers of the audience left the building, and the programme could not be proceeded with.
