After the last event at the Auckland Motor-cycle Club’s grass track meeting at Henning’s Speedway, Mangere, on Saturday one of the competitors was found to be missing and when a search was made he was found in an injured condition crawling through long grass toward the track, The victim was John Hollingsworth, brickworker, single, aged 27, of Avondale. He received concussion, bead injuries, a possible fracture of the pelvis and possible abdominal injuries. He was taken to hospital.

Apparently no one saw the accident because of the heavy pall of dust created by the 10 motor-cycles in tbe race. When Hollingsworth failed to check hi on his return his attendant set out to search the track for him, finding him in a dazed eonditiou emerging on all fours from the undergrowth at tbe side of the track. His machine was lying nearby, hidden in the long grass. The track is a mile and a quarter round and the mishap occurred at almost the farthest point from the group of spectators and officials at the finishing line.
