The Hamilton police are endeavouring to discover how a sulky and harness camo to bo in the river about three miles below Ngaruawahia. "While tho search was being continued on Friday for May Yates, who was drowned at Hamilton on January 19, the shafts of the vehicle were seen sticking out of the water, and tho sulky was taken on board a launch to Hamilton. It could not have been long in tho water, as for several days a closo inspection of the. river lias been made, and its disappearance had not been reported. The vehicle appoars to have been newly painted, the namd of a Ngaruawahia coachpaintci' being on the body. Mr. :Prank Christiansen, of Woodvillc, had the bad luck to lose his fiiia motor-car by fire about eight o'clock on Sunday night. Ho was convoying a party of four to'Kumeroa, and just over the Harding's Road Bridge his benzine gayo out. Mr. Christiansen, tho "Examiner" states, jvas busy emptying a tin of oil into the Hank When one of the party camo along to 'seo how he was getting on. This party struck a match to light his pipo and threw tho match down on to some' spilt benzine. Immediately _<the wholo affair was a mass of flame, which quickly demolished the car. Even the engine was so much damaged that it is questionable if it will be of any use. Those in the car had to walk back to Woodville.
