Accident. —As the funeral procession following the remains of the },iie Mr Robert M'Kay was going .011 hoard of the steamer Golden Age at Port dial > ers, at noon to-day, a youth of about fifteen years of age, named John Miller, fell off the stage into the water. He was, however, rescued by the clforts of the captain and crew of the steamer ; and Mr George Wilson, butcher, who saw the danger the boy was in, and fearing that he might have injured his head in falling, immediately sprang into the water and swam under the jetty to his assistance. We are glad to say the lad was uninjured by the fall. To-day’s Funeral. —This afternoon the remains of the young men whose melancholy death on Christmas Day by the upsetting of a boat in the harbor, lias cast such a gloom over the City, were interred in the Southern Cemetery. The request of the Mayor that citizens should doss their premises upon the occasion was unanimously responded to, and along the whole route of the funeral procession every x-espect was shown the remains of the deceased. The cortege started from the respective residences, there being four hearses, the chief mourners following the hearse containing the remains of tluir deceased friend, and a long procession of the general public followed. Flags in all directions were hung half-mast high, and as the procession passed the Cricket Ground, the match now being played between Canterbury and Otago was suspended for a time. The scene in the Cemetery was very impressive. Four graves were opened ; the Rev. D. M. Stuart conducted tlie service over the remains of Alfred Piictor; the Rev. Dr Copland at the grave of William and James Drew, who were interred together; the Rev. George Sutherland officiated at the grave of John Bruce ; and the Rev. John Goy/ at the grave of Peter and William Scrymgeour, who also were buried together.

Bazaar.— The bazaar in the Provincial Council Hall continues to attract crowds of visitors, although, owing to the concert last evening, it was not so well attended as on the previous evenings. The receipts last night were altogether about LSB, which, with previous takings, amounts nearly to L‘2o(l. The stalls look little the worse for the quantity of goods taken away, there being still a plentiful supply in abundant variety. Most of the valuable articles remain for sale. A mistake occurred in an announcement that Messrs Amery and Clarke would sing in the Hall this evening. Owing to s ccial engagements at the 1 lieatre, thoj are unable to do so. The announcement was made without the knowledge of Ills Lordship, Bishop Moran or the Rev Mr Coleman. We have received from Messrs Mills, Dick, and Lister a verv excellently executed lithograph of Bishop Moran, from a photograph taken by one of the first artists of Rome. It is the best lithographic copy we have seen produced by the Dunedin firm. Copies will bo offered at the bazaar to-night, and apart its being a striking likeness, it is an artistic picture. The 93 th Monthly meeting of the Permanent Building Society of Otago will be held this evening at 7 o'clock at the offices of the Society, Temple Chambers, Princes street. The competitors in the 100 yards and quarter-mile handicaps are requested by advertisement to call at the office of the Secretary to the Caledonian Society, Princesstreet, to-morrow afternoon, between 2 and three o’clock.
