An unfortunate accident held one of the pupils of tlie Epsom Girls’ Grammar School, Auckland, about three months ago. The girl, who was an all-round sport, and had previously won the school tennis championship, hit her leg with a; cricket hat. For some time she was in a private hospital and tlicr| returned home. Recently it was found necessary, however, to remove her to the Auckland Hospital, where the leg was amputated. The unlucky young lady is now gradually recovering, hut it will be some time before she recovers from tlie shock to her nervous system following upon the loss of her limb.
