ricuitural land and the richest in the
two islands. Here is the center of
New Zealand's grain, sheep and dairy
industries. Canterbury plainsmen are
prosperous and the roads of their large
level region invite motoring-facts
which have contributed to make auto
btles as numerous in Christchurch as
in almost any American city of SINH
lar size.
HOne of the most charming features
of Christchurch is the Avon, limpid
little stream which winds its way
through the heart of the city. It's
gently sloping, grassy banks are over
hung by weeping willows, whose trail
ing branches make soft walls of green
for every vista of the stream. At sew

Behind Hills From Sea.
"Christchurch is the only one of the
four New Zealand cities visited by the
American sailors which lies inland.
Between 1t and the sea. miles
away, lies a range Of high. rugged
hills. The hills have been pierced by
a tunnel for a railway. and near the
seaward end of the bore is Port Lytell-
ton, the citys sea gateway. This lit
tie port town, with it's 5000 inhahit-
ants, is built along the side of hills.
Most of its streets are steep. Over
the hills to Christchurch lead q. bride
path and carriage road for those
who spurn the more effete railway and
its tunnel.
While Christchurch is colored still
by its Church Of England origin.

Scotch Presbyterianism. This fourth
city Of the Dominion. lying near the
southern end OF South Island, has

in desperation Capt. Matteson reached
over the bow with a lance and jabbed

brought home TO rest among the

morning.
While London slept Alexa ndra :
body was taken from Westminster er
Abbey, where the funeral services
were held Yesterday. and conveyed by
motor hearse to this. the most beau
tiful of all the royal castles in Eng
land.
AS the procession entered the pa la ce
grounds the suns rays fla shed on
the flag -draped coffin and brought
into strong relief the gray. snow
capped towers of the ancient home of
royalty.
The casket was placed on a
catafalque below the steps of the
altar in st. Georges Chapel, where
il will rest amidst a profusion of
flowers until sarcophagus is pre-
pared beside that of Alexandra S hus-
band, Edward VII.
At 1870 o'clock a simple private
committal service was held, with all
the royal family present. The ancient
cloiser abutting the royal chapel was
filed with wreaths from all parts of
the world: not since the funerals of
Victoria and Edward VII has such
a ma gnifcent collection of choice
flowers been seen.
