“The Canterbury Times” is a weekly journal, issued by the Lyttelton Times Company, Ltd. It was founded in 1865, when it appeared as a large eight-page sheet, and was chiefly a compilation from the “Lyttelton Times.” The paper now runs into about sixty-eight pages. A complete summary of the news of the week is given, and considerable space is devoted to agricultural and pastoral subjects, to athletics, and to family literature. The “New Zealand Sportsman,” which is incorporated with the “Canterbury Times,” deals with English and colonial racing, and sports of all kinds.
