Three patients were admitted to tho Palmerston North Hospital on Saturday suffering from accidental injuries, one being a young man named Elcoek, who had his elbow dislocated in a football matcli. Another, named — Carter, was suffering from severe injuries to his hand, as the result of a fall from his bicycle, while the third was a man named John Parker, employed as a flaxcutter at , Messrs. SciferVs flaxmiU, Tokoniaru. It appears that lie had a bundle- of green flax on his shoulder, and, in turning round, by some means dislocated tho knee of his right leg. The accident happened in a verv sudden manner, so that tho sufferer can scarcely explain how. .

. The census returns' 'for Palmerston give a total approximately of 10,700 — being an increase of four* hundred and sixty on the previous census. The figures are disappointing, as it was quito •expected that the total would bo over 12,000. The Manawatu Golf Club opened tho season on Saturday afternoon in beautiful weather.
