A BARQUE AGROUND.

—+ ■ ! By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, January 28. The barque Wai-iti, when leaving the wharf at Mangawhare, Kaipara, for Hokianga, to load timber for Melbourne, struck the bank just below the wharf. It was blowing a strong north-easter at the time, and the efforts made to get the vessel off were unsuccessful. As the tide fell the boat listed outwards, and afterwards turned over, smashing the masts at the deck. The vessel is believed to be a total loss. She was owned by Mr Turnbull, of Timaru, and is believed to be insured.

Coming events are said to cast their shadows before. At a meeting of the Rotorua Town Council (says the New Zealand Herald) Mr Vickerman, the district engineer, urged upon the members of the Council "the advisability of placing new water mains under the footpath instead of in the middle of the street, as, in the event of an electric tram service between Rotorua and Whakarewarewa being established, the current that would escape would be detrimental to the water mains if laid in the middle of the road. The council adopted the course suggested, thus pointing to the probability of the scheme mentioned being carried out at no distant date. A Modern Digestive.
