Thursday.
A letter .received here states that the Dunediri Football Club purpose sending a team on a tour round the colony this season. ' Shortly before eleven o'clock last night a special train with 40 waggons loaded with grain, from Bakaia, came in contact with the gates of the racecourse. The driver, named Drury, was struck on the head by splinters- from the gate and killed. Mr Owen, the Out-door Inspec : tor, was also on the engine, and narrowly escaped. The train was going fast, and the gates were not seen till it was too late to slacken speed. A searching inquiry will be made why the" gates were shut. Several gates have been previously carried away. -
Turner, tho man gored by a bull, is slightly improving, and food is administered to him by a stomach pump.
