DUNEDIN.
This day. A fire broke ont at the Industrial School at Caversham last night, but was confined entirely to the schoolroom, which was of wood, and detached from the othar building. The schoolroom was a building about 80 feet long and 30 feet wide. The worshop and tools were burnt, all that was saved being a number of musical instruments used by the school band. The teaching apparatus, books, etc., were also burnt. The school was left locked up at 5 o'clock, and a fire which was left burning is supposed to have spread and occasioned the disaster.
Later.
The fire at the Industrial School has proved not so serious as was at first ex* peoted. It was confined to the school house, which is about 30 yards from the main building.
