Rock, the officer in command of the Rifles:- “The Corps will muster for church parade at half-past 9 a.m., at the Depôt, without arms; each man wearing a piece of black-crape, three inches wide immediately above the elbow of the left arm, and black gloves. Officers to wear a band of black crape, one inch wide, around the cap; also crape over the sword knot, and above named, on the left arm. The Corps will accompany the Mayor and Corporation to attend Divine Service at Holy Trinity church. The commanding officer relies on the attendance of every man on this solemn occasion.”
A Leviathan Strawberry.
A gigantic strawberry was gathered in the first week of July by Mr. A. H. Wood, in his garden near the Gas Works, which measured 9½ inches in circumference. It was a season of large strawberries, but one stood out as beating the record. Mr. Wood obtained first prize for that kind of fruit at the so-called Flower Show, but there was not one in the plate which he there exhibited that approached the monster here described.
