Two of the passengers in the car, (a lady and a gentleman) wero cut by the glass from the wind screen. The second accident occurred in the evening. Mr. Lea. Jury, a well-known local ear proprietor, was returning from the races with several passengers, and when passing a car near the Rugby road, it is stated that a tyre blew out, with the result that the car capsized. One of the occupants, Mr. Anstis, of Omata, received injuries that necessitated his removal to New Plymouth for medical attention. The other occupants escaped injury.
