A rat 'tor serious accident happened on

Wednesday last to Mr George Anderson, w'io h engaged on maintenance works on th» Grey road. He was engaged in loa-ling gravel from one of the pits on Messrs Young and Go's contract, when a fall of stuff to..k place, breaking one of his leys tind fracturing two or three ribbs. Assistance was fortunately at hand and the sufferer was removed t« the hospital where he now li^s under the care of Dr. Whitton. The escape from more serious injury was quite providential, but fortunately Mr Anderson has sustained no other injury than that stated.

At the meeting of the Hospital Committee on Wednesday evening a resolution was carried unanimously in favor of constituting the Inangahua a separate Hospital District, under the Act of last session. The opinion was generally exprassed that the efficiency of the local institution could not be adequately maintained except by the constitution of a separate district, and every effort will therefore be made to carry r»ut the proposal.

A Service of Song entitled "Uncle Tom, sequal to Eva " will he held in the Methodist Church, Sliiel - street, on Tuesday evening next. Miss Galloway has kindly consented to give the connective reading on the occasion.

A meeting was held at Craig's Hotel, Black's Point, on Tuesday evening last to arrange for the annual entertainment in aid of the Hospital funds. Mr R. Fitzmaurice occupied the chair, when a resolution was carried appointing a strong committee to carry out the arrangements, and it was decided to hold the entertainment early in the ensuing month.

Mr oalii has during his Australasian tour had to run the gauntlet of many diverse forms of public deputations, and had probiMy grown to think that he had been torture! into familiarity with every conceivable phase of that form of boredom. Hig trip up to Reefton, however, gave him yet another novel experience in this line. On reaching Ahaura the driver pulled up to make the uvial mail exchanges at the post office, when a number of the residents gathered round the coach and having fixed upon the distinguished visitor, mie of the number, a well-known and respected resident, addressed Mr Sala as he unt wedged in the coach seat :— The Aliaum was a comparatively small and isolated phvee, but the name and professional famu of the visitor had been long known to the inhabitants. If Mr Sala would only consent to break his journey and deliver one lecture they would he delighted to roll up to a man to hear him. They had anxiously awaited his coming, and the request was urgently made on behalf of the community." There was something so respectful, so eanient, even pleading in the invitation that if Mr Sain had been a bird and could be in two places At one time it is quite certain the Ahaura people would have had the leoture. As it was, however, he greatly regretted that engagements already entered into rendered it quite impossible for him to accede to the request. He, however, thanked '

he deputation warmly for the compliment vmveyod, and to Mr Wright, who acted v spokesman for the deputation, he expressed his person.il appreciation of the kindly terms in which it had been made. The coach then drove on. There was something so thoroughly unaffected and real about the whole proceeding that many of those in the coach besides no .luubt Mr Sala himself who felt that it was & pity it should have resulted in disappointment. Forfeited shares in tie Inangahua L<»w L^vel Tunnel Company will be sold by public auction at the Company's "ffice, Broadway, to-morrow at 4 p.m. Ths opening cricket match of the season will be played in Smith's Paddock, on Saturday (to-morrow). The wickets to he i.i^l,a>l •>> Q 3ft n m Tim cocoa matting

will be laid for the match. By special request Mr Sak has consented to this evening deliver hia famous lecture on "Russia." It was Mr Sola's intention to proceed through to NA<>n yesterday morning, but the long coaching he has done since leaving Christen urch began to tell on him, and he therefore decided to rest here till Saturday. Thus advantage of his stay here was taken to nak him to deliver his lecture ou " Russia." This he has consented to do this evening, and great as was the delight experienced by Wednesday's lecture, ,we venture to think it will be, if possible, still further heightened by to-night's discourse. The lecture is one of deep and curious interest, presenting a graphic picture of that dark and mysterious inner life of the great Empire of the Czar, of which so little is known, or can be learnt otherwise than from the lips of one who lias, so to speak, s<>unil<v>l the hidden depths of its national life, and studied its history its institutions and its people.

There being no business before the District Court, on Tunsday ner:t, jurors summoned for that day will not be required to attend.

Speaking of the race for the CanlfieW Cup, the Argus says :—" Up the rise on the right the squadrnu was as compact as ever, but some tailed as they rounded, and were lost in the dust-cloud created l>y the leaders. At the buck there were more than 30 in a hunch, and they were going splendidly. They swung into the northern running, and when about a dozen showed improved pace, and the balance were being called. The fuck were making a gallant rush for a good place, when suddenly there was a gap as if an earthquake had swallowed several . There was dust and hurly-burly, two or three were seen to topple and fall, others to jump, and then it was known that there had been a mishap. Three seconds must have covered it, although an hour seemed to pass. On came the leaders into the straight, tluae who managed to keep their legs followed gamely, and a close race ensued. But Grace Darling had all thn strength and flestne* necessary, her rider beat off Britisher and then resumed his seat in the saddle anl w »n beautifully. The finish was a strange contrast to the first run past. The stragglers ran home with half a dozen that were riderless, one carried a saddle torn in half— evidence of the cmsh— and . another had no bridle. One horse, Uarah, did not come in at all. He broke his neck in the smash, and his carcase marked the spot. F«»r some time no one suspected that any of the riders had heen seriously hurt, but very soon the unwelcome news spread, and was confirmed when the ambulance- waggon drove up with the lifeless f-»i-m of Donald Nicholson, and Cracknell, M.'Orath, and others terrily injured. There was end to all enjoyment, and even if Lady Ashton had won the Steeplechase, us she deserved to do, the spirit of the day would not have been restore' 1 ." In regard t.» the New Zealand horses before the race was run, the same journal remarks :—" As the horses filud through, it was noticeable that every Colony, with the exception of Western Australia— not yet recognised as a great racing centre— had its represeijtitives. The white, black, and gold colours of the Hon. W. Robinson were new to Victorians, ami helped to fix the identity of the New Zealand colt Wincliwster. Last of all camn th^ other Maori, Welcome Jack, with the familiar figure of Yeoman's in the saddle, and Yellow Hammer, with a very small jockey to guide him. Theso pair were in every way a remarkublß contrast."

The latest repoH from Mrßasmnssen at the Red Queen Mine gives some very encouraging news. He says that there are 23 men employed at present. 17 in Mie north and 6 in the south workings. There will be a considerable quantity of stone above the last estimate for the following reasons :— ln the Hrst place when the passes were run out he found they contained more stone than he had expected. But the principal is that they have been working on a wider reef both north and south. The past 14 days a soft patch of country was met with between No. 7 and 8 passes, when four men took out 10 tons of stone in five shifts. That patch of soft country is rising with the hill. The reef in the north workings has widened nearly double its asnal thickness, from Bto 15 inches, in the last four stopes. Four hundred and six tons of stone had been sent to the battery to date.

There was a run on the Bank of Ireland in Tipperary on Auyuat 31 and September 1. About 30 farmers were waiting from an early hour, and when the doors were oppnerl they at once drew their deposits in gold. The run continued during the r!«y, and before the hour of closing came the panic hnd increased, and the office was crowded. One man drew £520, bringing out the gold in an apron. Others took it in their handkerchiefs and hats. The run was so great that the two boxes of gold received had to be supplemented by a third box. The run in generally regarded oa the result of recent vindictive

articles suggesting a run because the governors of the Bank of Ireland declined , to make the advances asked for by the Minister Bank. Immediately after the i opening of the office on the following day the hall and approaches to the building ' were tilled with depositors. Nearly all the money drawn was lodged in the Provincial Bank. Invalided depositors actually sent their wives and children to withdraw their accounts.
