Au example of larrikin ism which, had it not been discovered, would probably have resulted in a serious accident occurred at Central Park, Whangarei. In the curve of the water chute used by hundreds of small children and others the borough park superintendent, Mr. F. S. Holman, found two two-inch nails driven into the boards. They were at the point where the swimmer, after'his slide, is precipitated into the water, and were so placed that they would have penetrated deeply into the body. The nails, which were beaded, had been clumsily driven into the chute with a stone, which was found nearby.
