The American ship Leading Wind, at the Quay-street Wharf, has discharged all her damaged cargo and her dunnage, and now has only gome three hundred tons of ballast in her hold. She is to be surveyed ab once in order bo enable the underwriters to as* certain the amount of the* damage bo bhe ship, bhe surveyors being appoinbed by bhe American Consul, Mr J. D. Connolly, on behalf of bhe captain. Ib is estimated thab ib will be a very expensive job bo repair bhe vessel. A meeting of about 25 bicyclists was held last evening in Waters' rooms Mr A. S. Buchanan in the chair. A long discussion took place on the advisability of procuring a good training track for riders. Afber canvassing bhe merits of various places on which a track mighb be prepared ib was ab length decided to ask the Amateur Abhlebic Club bo form a brack of half-a-mile or so on bhe Domain cricket ground around the rough parb oubside the circkeb pibches. Ib was sbabed bhat if such a track were in existence the numbers of riders would be trebled. We have to acknowledge receipt of cheque for £20, from the members of the Auckland Operative Bootmakers' Union, towards the Hunbly Disaster Fund.
