Rather an unusual accident or- | curred a few 7 clays, ago. A Morrins- i ville resident was riding a bicycle with his thr.ee-year-bld son seated on 1 the cross bar when the hoy got his foot caught in the spokes of the front- I wheel. The child had his heel rippec, open, necessitating the insertion of . several stitches. Three of the spokes j on the wheel were broken, the valve ; tube ripped off and the tyre punctured.’, —Morrinsville Star. The conditions imposed for the clis- j play of medals shown in the New Zea- ; land Court at the Exhibition weie rather exacting (states the Dunedin Star). No medal is shown there that . was not won by some New Zealand officer or soldier, and the inclusion of the French Legion of Honour, Croix de Guerre, the Serbian Eagle, and a score of other insignia from nations of which many New Zealanders have scarcely heard, tell of the many lands in which the soldiers fought. In this Aspect, and also in the variety of the display, it admittedly exceeds the drs--33'.:U display is superior in the number oi its old insignia. Some of the cam- ! paign medals date from the battle oi 1 Waterloo, and almost every campaign since that time is represented.
