He was removed to the Auckland Hospital, where he was admitted suffering from shock and concussion. He waa to-day reported to be making satisfactory progress. The bicycle which he was riding was badly damaged.

It is not yet known how the accident happened. The injury is not regarded as serious, and the injured man's condition was to-day reported to be fair. While engaged in loading cargo on the Niagara at the Queen"s wharf last evening a waterside worker, Mr. J. Ward, fell from the wharf into the harbour. He soon regained the wharf and appeared none the worse for his wetting.
