THE WAIKARE’S MISHAP.
OVER £3OO DAMAGES TO AUCKLAND WHARF.
By Telegraph— Preaa Association. Auckland, last night. The Union steamer Waikare recently when berthing at Queen’s Street wharf, \ drove-her stern into the outer tee, causing a big gap. At the Board’s meeting yesterday the engineer reported that the repairs would cost between £3OO and £350.

The matter was referred to the Works Committe to report on. __________
