Last Sunday morning', between half-past 10 and 11 o’clock, ahorse driven by Father Kehoe belted sh -rtly after turning into the Te Aroha road, from Waiorongomai, where the reverend gentleman had been celebrating early Mass. Ihe animal he was driving took fright at a portion of the harness swinging loose, not having been, apparently, properly secured. Father Kehoe managed to retain sufficient control to keep the runaway in the centre of the road. As the buggy passed the Palace Hotel, Mr Ernest Smardon, who was riding down Church street, noticed that Father *Kehoe was in difficulties and galloped to hi« assistance- Great credit is due to Mr Smardou for his promptitude.
