(An. accident of a rather serious naturs occurred just prior to the wood-chopping contest. One of the entrants, a man named Warwick West, was trimming a tree preparatory to taking part in the competition, when his axe slipped and cut his instep very seriously, necessitating his removal to the hospital. He is likely to be incapacitated for some time, even should he ever regain the use of his foot, which was nearly severed from the leg. A collection was taken up on his behalf, and a considerable amount subscribed on the ground. Fortunately the Society had taken the precaution to take out an accident insurance policy for the two days, so that West will benefit by the forethought of the Society's executive.
