Trout fishing being legalised for the first time in New Zealand, many old anglers were early on the alert yesterday! proceeding to streams in which trout had been liberated by the acclimatisation society. Some six years ago many had a fair days sport, fish being very large as a rule. . j i At a meeting of the Harbor * Board yesterday, members pretty jplainly stated that the Superintendent and Provincial Council were a clog on the operations of the Board. The Board wished certain powers which were delegated to the Superintendent, revoked and given to the Board ; but his Honor appears not desirous to give up his powers. A man named George Cox, who was working at the flour mill at Green Island yesterday, got between a large wheel and the wall of the mill, and was severely squeezed. A painful accident happened to a boy named Kennedy, yesterday, in Frederickstreet, who attempted to get on ' to a loaded truck and, slipping, the wheel caught one of his legs and tore the flesh open from the foot to the knee. He was taken to the hospital where the foot was amputated, , At a meeting of the Jockey Club Committee held yesterday, Goodman's protest against the. owner of Mabel, for pulling, or causing to be pulled, said mare, in St. Andrew's Handicap was considered. After discussion the rider of Mabel was disqualified from again riding on any course the Dunedin Jockey Club" has control over. Consideration of the part of the protest dealing with the owner and horse was postponed for a .week, and Captain Hutchison, considering himself insulted by suclvadjournnient, handed in his resignation as Yice r President of the club. ■ ' ■•';• ,- '
