The litle son of Mr Carl Dujaney of Waikumete, chopped the calf of his le<r with an axe a few days ago, and his fr ends bandaged up the wound. lOn Wednesday, however, a blow on the injured part caused alarming bleeding to set in, and Dr. Carolan was summoned. He found that an artery had been cut. He attended to the wound and had the boy sent to the hosp'tal, where the wound ; was making good progress. Mr Walter Wesche, examiner for the Associated Board, who has been engaged during the past week in conducting the examination of Auckland musical students, expressed hirnse , * , to a "Star" reporter to-day as being delighted with the result of the local examination. The percentage of failures had been very small, smaller than usual, while the large proportion of students who showed talent of a high standard was as pleasant for the examiner to be able to remark as it must be gratifying to Auckland. "In Geelong, two years ago." said Mr Wesche, "among 80 students I examined there was not a single failure of itself a somewhat remarkable fact' But I think that the number of students who displayed what one might almost describe as budding genius, -was considerably greater here than there." Mr Wesche, who has been staying at the Orand Hotel while in Auckland, left for New Plymouth this afternoon to conduct the Taranaki examinations.
