CheapElectrical Power
Canterbury il;l the pi(meer pl'ovince ofNew Zealanu in the development of hydroelectric power the factor that is to playa highly important, if not a predominantpart, in the lutUl'e of ew Zealand. Ahuge naturaL lake, high among the mountain , eighty miles from the city of Olu-istchurch, provide. cheap lighting and power£01' a large portion of the metropolitan andprovincial community, and the limits of tuepotentialitie of his on OUl'ce of energybuve not yet been approached. C.mterburyhas the bigge t hydro-eleotri plant in tIle
outhel'll HeIDi phere, and the reticulationof the pro\'mce i proceeding a rapidly aspossible. In Oln'i t hurch bo 1 e-ligutlllgCUl'l'ent i uppliec1 at 5d. to ld. per unit,and power at 2d. to 1-6d. pel' unit. Streetlighting ho. been revolutionised hath as toco t and effioiency by the hange from go.to eleetricity. All ew Zealand will eventuoll use cheap hydro-electric power thesouroes of which are more numerous anuextensive in comparison with size than inany other country in the world, but Oanterbury has a tart of eight year, and has,1Ihe1'e£ore, a valuable initial advantage in thefriendly rivalry of the provinces.
Oheap power has attracted hundreds ofthou ands of pound of capital to anterbur , and e peciall to the neighbourhoodof lui t hurch wher a great industrialcommunity i being gather d under thehea.lthie t po ible cOllclition. t the ametime the CUlTellt i being carried out into allthe rural (li trict, where the Pl'OO'Te sLea.gue hope , in tJle llot di tant futur~, tohave every farm. hou e upplied.

Sports and Pastimes1 ew 1;ealandurs are fu'm believers in
ilia adage that 'All work all(L no play makesJack a dull bo " and anterbury offers ana1'1'a. of ports and pastime to ui.t the mostcatholic of taste. Racing of course, isthe port predominant. 'Ille colonialpiolleers u.,ed to stake out a raceCOUl'sebefore they selected a ite for a c metery.At Riccarton one of ihe Christchurch uburba, is one of the fine t racecourses in theSouthern Hemisphere, and at ddington,another suburb, are trotting grounds without an equal in Au tralasia. Oricket isthe principal summer pastime--there arehundreds of clubs in Canterbury-and lawntennis, bowls and croquet (number theiradhe1'ents in thousands, and their courtsand greens:in scores. Golf is popularthroughout the province, and here are manyexcellent links, and polo ha its devotees.In the matter of football choice is gi en ofthree sets of rules-Rugby nion, RugbyLeague, and Association, and all are adequately provided for in the matter ofgrounds. Hookey is also very popular,both amo.ng men and girls. Yachting andmotor-boating are ports of the people inNew ZeallWd, anQ. not by any means theprerogative of the wealthier classes.
There could carcely be imagined acountry in which sport and pa times wouldbe carried on under conditions more near1ideal. The high proportion of sunny daysin the yeu and the oomparatively mildwinters con titute a strong inducement tothe people to spend m'uch ()f their leisuretime out of doors. Although not fellJturedon this page tbere are plenty of deer in themountain alleys and the streams are fullof trout.

-years -that any attempt has been made todevelop an export trade, or even Lo organise efficiently the sup'pl fer the dorn6sticmarke. The attraction and Oppol'tu:nitiesheld out for those who woulil 1;lDdertakegeneral mi..xed farming, stock-raising,or dairy-farnri.ng, ua e over-shallowedthe -ruit industry, but tb.8l:e i· nodoubt that irUit-gl' wing in till provinee,f1l'Udently and cientifically conclucted, offersquite as lucrative a r_sturn as nJiy otherbranch of primary production. R centdevelopments 1a..e been the erection 01
commodious cool states in Christch.urch andtllsewhere for the storage of frui . Theglim.pses of Canterbury orohards which aregiven on this page give ome indication asto the yields which may be e 4)ected. Thebottom picture shows a typical vinery, thehot ho.use production of grapes being a verypro:fitable branch of the industry.
In recent years great at' as of land in'uitable districts fig; e been con~e.rted intoapple orchards. ancl the export of apples isdeveloping rapidly. EVe!"y kind of fruitthat belongs to the temperate zone can begrawn ne:re-, and the orchardists obtain~lninently sa'tisfactory returns.
