The Wellington-Otago cricket match was concluded to-day Otago being all out for 174. (Otago required 621 runs to win). Burglars, apparently amateurs, entered three adjacent business premises in Willis St., Wellington on. Tuesday night, but failed to secure anything more valuable than a bag of old clothes. At the bloodstock sales at Ellerslie this morning a yearling by Leighton-Flora Macdonald was sold to Mr TV. G. Stead for 500 guineas. The same owner also purchased a dam with foal at foot for 150 guineas. Yesterday afternoon a thunderstorm swept Rotorua, and five inches cf rain was recorded in a few hours. The water invaded shops, and the streets were running-board deep on the cars. Considerable damage was done in the shops. The rain was purely local, extending over a narrow area The second accident this week in the Greymouth River occurred yesterday at Dobson, the victim being John Gibbs, a coal miner, a new arrival from Scotland, 26 years of ; age He went swimming with four I ethers and crossed to an island in mid-stream. When returning to the bank Gibbs disappeared. A. man named Watkins was nearly drowned when attempting to rescue Gibbs, being pulled out just in time. j A Taumaranui telegram states gloom was cast over the town when ■ i' was known that two sisters, Mavis and Thyra Dette, aged twelve and fourteen respectively, were ; drowned at Victory bridge, on the I Wanganui River. A large party of i children were bathing and all left . the water except Mavis Dette, who ' was observed to be in difficulties I Her sister Thyre attempted a rescue i but both went under and were I drowned. Thyra’s body was recovered : quickly by a young man, William ■ Capper, who was called to the scene, and later 'the body of Mavis was recovered. Ron Eden (18), of Linwood, was drowned at Sumned this morning when the yacht of which he was a member of the crew capsized. The other five members of the crew were rescued in an exhausted condition.

At a special meeting of the Well- ' ington Hospital Committee, after a thorough investigation had been ! made into circumstances surround- | ing death of the child Jean Greaves ■ who died after operation for appendicitis, the. following resolution was i passed : “That in the opinion of the Committee, the cause of the death of Jean Greaves was purely accid cntal. From statements presented to the Committee, the saline when administered .was at the proper temperature, but probably the instrument allowed too great a flow of saline, which caused the burn and the consequent complications. IWe desire to place on reoerd our recognition of the steps taken by the medical superintendent to have the case properly investigated and his actions in having the inquest ■ held. We also instruct, the medical i superintendent to carry out his projiosal to consult the honorary surgic i al staff with the object of prevent- . 'i ing similar happenings in future ■ /The medical superintendent (Dr. D. . i M. Wilson) submitted a lengthy re- • port to the Board, in which he [ said he was more inclined to blame their methods of administering the . saline. The accident showed thaj , conditions and apparatus, th-ougr I worked for years were not “foe proof” and required modifying. i Riffibsr Stsmjn at Daily Adwrthtw
