A somewhat serious accident happened to a cyclist named J. McGregor, of Mount Roskill, in Symonds-street, near Kyber Pass, this afternoon. He was riding at a-fair-pace when he ran on to some loose metal, when his machine, swerved, and before he could recover control it collided with one of the tram-way poles. McGregor was thrown over the handle bar and struck the pole -with his head. He was picked up in a semi-conscious state by bystanders. Dr. H. Coom made an examination of his injuries, and found that lie has sustained scalp and facial wounds, and was bleeding from the ear, the latter being considered the most serious. Dr. Coom ordered the man's removal to the hospital. The bicycle appeared to be none the worse for the accident. The party of Aucklanders who spent three days in the Northern Wairoa district at the invitation of the Northern Union Steamship Company, returned to town last night by special train, arriving _at 10.45. Before leaving the Awarqa Mr. T. Peacock, on behalf of his fellowguests, thanked the company for the gene- _ Tons hospitality shown,. and .the ship's: company for their courtesy to all,the visitors.
