No little amusement was created in the vicinity of the Queen's Wharf thi3 morning^ by a misfortune which befel a dealer's cart driven by a youth. The tal-board accidentally slipped down, and a large portion of the contents of the vehicle, consisting of a quantity of baking-dishes, fell to the ground and scattered tkemselves in all directions. 'Probably the driver will in future pay more careful heed to the condition of his tail-board, for he underwent considerable " chaffing " at the hands of the onlookers. The Public Works Committee again decline to recommend the payment of compensation to Mr. Cnrtls tor tha loss of two horses through falling over the wharf. As a lid named Clements was watching a game in the cricket field at Heading (tingland), one of the players called for a stump, which, on being thrown to him, aooidently struck Clements on the head, the point, made of steel, piercing and fracturing the skull. The lad waa "removed to the Royal Berks Hospital, and alter a few day 3an operation was successfully performed, bat he never gained consciousness, dying soon after. The lad's father visited him, and was so overcome that he returned home and died, ani the mother was dangerously ill f«r some tirae. :
