TIMARU.
(From our own correspondent.)
The municipal elections caused but little excitement, there being only two wards contested out of six. The Mayor was re-elected and most of the old councillor were returned unopposed. Messrs. Harney and Wallis are the new councillors for the contested wards. The Mayor has a big programme for the ensuing term, and following the lead of Chnstchurch and JDunedin, has announced a comprehensive scheme for a ' Greater Timaru.' The Forty Hours' Devotion commences at the Church of the Sacted Heart on Sunday, 24th May. Father O'Reilly, of Oamaru, preaches on that Sunday, and Father Ahem, of Ashburton, on the Monday evening. The extension of the breakwater has made a very appreciable difference on the harbor. It is now looked upon as an ordinary occurrence to have a couple of the large ocean liners in port at once. The largest visitor as yet will be the Essex, expected to arrive on the 18th inst. She is said to be 20ft longer than any of her predecessors.
