What may have resulted very seriously, was the running amok of a car . driven by a man under the influence of j liquor on Saturday afternoon. Ho triel Ito turn in the crossroads at the top i f I Cambridge Street,, by the Central Hall, but struck the corner of AlcCarty and Hunger’s building, shattering the glass in the car. The bump somehow placed the car in reveres gear, so that it backed in a complete circle into the same corner on the Egmont Street front. This may have resulted more unfortunately, and the AVanganui Alarist footballers, who arrived soon after, were wise to be a few minutes late. A second mishap happened yesterday, when a car driven by a hatsive, backed into the private entrance of the Central Hotel, luckily doing no more damage than shattering the glass in the hotel doors.
