The first yacht to be built in Otago harbor for a number of years has been ordered by Mr. B. Nees. The new yacht, with a length of 3,3 ft., 7ft. sm. beam, ana a draught of 4ft. on a 24ft. waterline, gives the stability and roominess characteristic of a comfortable cruiser of the keel-type class. The hull will be constructed of kauri and jarrah. A new structural feature will be a special trunkway for the shipping ot an auxiliary outboard motor. The vessel has been designed specially for harbor cruising, and for that reason is of shallow draught. Painful injuries were sustained yesterday afternoon by Keith Butler, the six-year-pld son of Mr. and Mrs. George Butler, of 319 Ormond road, who was later removed to Cook Hospital. It is understood that the lad was standing beside a Chinese market gardener's cart when the horse took fright and turned the vehicle in the opposite direction. The boy was knocked down, and one wheel passed over iiis abdomen. He immediately jumped to his feet, and ran across lithe street to his home, where the extent of his injuries was ascertained. The lad's condition to-day was reported to ,bo serious. On the night of Juno 20 the Tuparoa Trading Co.'s store at Tuparoa was broken into, and a quantity of cigarettes, tobacco, and clothing stolen.
