SHARKS IN SYDNEY.
EARLY APPEARANCE. BOY BITTEN IN RIVER. (Received 2.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, this day. An exceptional prevalence of sharke so early in the surfing season is causing a scare among eurfers. Yesterday at Maroubra a big enark chased inshore a gnup of swimmers, and at Oonulla, Bondi and Coogee they paid visits inshore, causing frightened bathers to scatter to the shore. Amid big crowds, whom the unusual heat of the day had attracted to eurf on the previous Sunday, a good-isized shark, which approached ewimmere, was chased and captured by a surf boat. i Five boye were swimming in the Clarence River at Mac Lean in five feet lof water, when a shark dashed among i them and bit one of the boys, inflicting a naety wound in the leg, requiring eeveral stitchee. The shark followed the boy as he scrambled ashore, but he managed to evade a second attack.
