Alr D. Alurphy, of Alohaka, had a most xomarkable escape from death when his ear, which had hecome ditched not far from the pa, was being puslied up on to tlie road and suddenly went lieadlong over the hank with Alr Alurphy standing on the runn ing board holding the wheel. The car went down 50 feet nnd Alr Alurphy was hadly bruised. The car appears to he practically wreeked. Alr Alurphy i.s making a good recovery, The I'nion Steamsliip Company has j let a tender to the Ardrossen Sliipj building Coiupanv, of Ardrossen- oii- } the Clyde, for a new cargo steamer of j 11(10 tons dead weight, to steam twelve knots under service conditions at sea. She will be oil burning, but so built as to he readily convertible for using pulverised coal as fuel, She will be a single serew boat and is to he delivered at tlie end of the year, to he put on tho Dunedin- Auckland via intermediate ports trade. AVhilo a herd of cattle was crossing tlie Alohaka bridge tc blockage occurred and oue of the beasts was pushed through the rails on the side and was caught up by one leg, its body dangling in mid air over the rusliing waters of tlie flooded river. AVith a large rope the unfortunate heast was pulled up a little and its leg freed. The rope was then cut and the beast fell with a tremendous splash head first into the rusliing waters. It then swam ashore and escaped with nothing worse tinui a hadly-spraiued leg. The Under-Secretary to the Lands Department has writteu to tlie Wairoa County Council in respect to its re~ cpiest that 400 acres of the Kaiwatn block, Opoutama, should be acquired hy tlie Crown and vested in tlie council, so that steps might be taken to stop tlie drift of sand on to more valuable lands. The block contains in all I4G9 acres, and the department desired the council to mark on the map the loeation of the area it requirccl. The department again stressed tlie i'act that if the Government acquired the land the Native Department must be reeoupcd for wiiat was vested in tlie council, unless it was acquired for sand dunc protoction. This is what tlie council desired, and it was decided to mark the area as suggested. On Saturday afternoon the membera of the Hastings Convent basketball tc-am journeyed to Napier to play a friendly match against the Convent Old Girls, resulting in a win for tlie latter by 14 — 2. After the match the teams adjourned to St. Patrick's Hall, where a delicious afternoon tea was servecl and tlioroughly enjoyed hy all. Tlie pre.sident of the Convent Olcl Girls' Club, tlie Bev. Fatlier Fay, took the opportnnity of presenting tlie secretary and treasurer of the club, Ali.ss E. Cahill, with a hand-bag as a token of appreciation for lier services to the club during the past season. Afiss Cahill suitably responded. Musical items were then rendered by Airs AV. Wilkie, and Aliss A. Luke. The captain of the Hastings team, ALiss B. Kummer, thanked the Napier girls for the entertainment and expressed the hope that arrangements could be made during the season for anotlier friendly game, next time to be played in Hastings. Arost of the deer stalk'ers at Waikaremoana have now rcturned from their hases. All report liaving had a very rough time during tlie recent bad weather, and owing to tlie busli drip* ping Jike a sliower hath stalking was most difiieult. Alcs.sr.s Alurpliy and Barker (Gisborne) liave reportcd good sport in spite of the weather, their "bag" being 14 stags. the best one being a 13-pointcr. Alr Dudley Ormond got 14 head, and Alr G. O. Ormond a couple. Mr Keen, tlie rangcr under tho Tourist Department, who was in the northeru part of Waikaremoana during the Easter liolidays, reports having had a rough time during that period. The Hopuruahine Kiver was very high and some of tlie tcmporary bridges put up by ihe Ptiblio Works Department were washed away,. nnd one pack horse fell over into a gorge and was drowncd. Tho lake rose 2ft. 9in. from Good Friday till Easter Afonday. The quantity of addod water may he gauged from tlie faet that one inch of water over tlie wholo lake means 15,000,000 tons. Tlie cxtousion of the New Plymouth Breakwater to a final length of 3312ft. was completed last woek, wlieu the l.ihour of the past four years was eompJetcd, and tlie gang of men einployed on the 800ft, extension downed tools after a 14 hours' day. Tlie end of tho breakwater takes tlie shape of an arc of a circle sliglitly higger in diamoter tlian Ihe extension itsclf. The seaward side curves round in a halfcircie, but the land ward siclo juts out to form a platform for tlie ilasiiing liglit standard, which has heen removed from its l'ormcr position a few yarda nearer tlie sliore. Tlie wholo preseiits a finisiied and neat appearanco, which is a eredit to tlie designcrs. The past few days were spent in pouring liquid conerete into the rounded mould to a deptli of 15ft. The conerete had been shuntod along tho breakwater in great buckets two at a time on a truek, eacli hucket holding six tons of the mixture. Frfmi tho truek tho buekets wero lifted by the erane and emptied upon tlie foundation of blocks prcviouslv put into position. To the .sliop assistants this appeal ts made.
