Mr' Michael Lynch, of Newmarket, while driving in Parnell yesterday, met with an accident, his horse bolting through being frightened by a train. One of the wheels of the trap came in contact with the kerbstone and Lyncli and a lady who was in the trap were pitched out. The lady was unhurt, but Lynch was hurt about the shoulders and considerably bruised.
To the Editor: Sir,—ln consequence of the early and unexpected arrival of the s.s. Mararoa from Sidney on Sunday morning, there was no barricading erected, nevertheless excellent order was kept amongst the cabdrivers, etc., by the Harbour Board watchman, who kept a space clear between the goods sheds for loaded vehicles to pass round and up the other side, thereby no confusion occurred by horses turning round and jamming others. lie arranged the cabs in a line close against the shed, and as one passed out the° others filed up, and be it said to the credit of the drivers they adhered to the arrangements made. — I am, etc., Observer.
