The secretary of the New Plymouth Caledonian Society received advice ye>terday from the District TralVic Manager at AYanganui mdifving that a special train would leave llawera -n

Wednesday, ijist., at 10.-10 a.in. ? arriving at New Plymouth at 1.4(1 p.m. This train should be very well patronised, oli'cring. as it does, an opportunity to resident of liawern and intermediate towns to witness the championship athletic sports in the afternoon and the lirst test selection of the I'aud Contest in th..' evening, and returning to their homes bv the train leaving town a'i 10.30 p.m. or later for Hnwera.

Particulars of an extraordinary accident are thus related by the Sydney Telegraph: "dames Donnelly, a contractor. was standing in his cart at th" top of a terrace behind a newly crect -d wall in Moo it- street, Miller's Point, when a portion of the wall collapsed, and Donnelly ami his horse and cart v.yre precipitated about 20fl iiHo the stieet below. The cart fell straighi, without bumping any obstruction, and Donnelly escaped with a few bruises on his leg and back. The horse, however, was badly injured and the cart smashed. The wall is composed of stone, tilled in by rubble, and is guarded at the top by a row of iron railings. The face of the wall for about -iftft subside.l. while a further length of loft i-, bulging outward. The sulisidei: *e is -supposed t > have been the result of the material behind the stonework becoming swollen by tl-,0 v;ii:»."
