■ ■RAGING IN CHRISTCHURCH. i NO SIGN OF ABATING. BOWLS TOURNEY POSTPONED. I (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) • | CHRISTCHURCH, this day. j A heavy southerly gale, with a downi ! pour, set in about 1.30 a.m. The rain ceased about 9.30, but the wind raged " with great violence, and at I,p.m. there ' : was no sign of it abating. The gale is '• I doing a good deal of damage in gardens "as a set-off to the benefits conferred by • ,the rain. • ] Reports from the country show that . . rain is very welcome, and the gale has ; not so far done any damage to wheat , crops. , i Telegraphic interruptions have been . : caused in many places by falling trees, - : but they are not serious enough to stop . communication. In the city, half a dozen willows were uprooted on the river bank, and many radio aerials were ' ; blown away. The bowling tournament was post- | polled, and tlie committee decided to ' play the balance of the rink competition ' three games of 21 beads daily.
