Resident Magistrate Court on Saturday Before Captain PREECE, R.M. David GREEN-charged with drunkenness Formation of an amalgamated chess and draught club at the Working Men's Club was completed at an adjourned meeting held on Saturday with Mr H C WILSON in the chair An accident of rather a serious nature happened on Saturday night at Hastings. A man named Thomas CARTER, having purchased some groceries, to keep them from the wet put them in a lollie tin and started to ride homewards. The horse he was riding (it is surmised) got frightened by the rattle of the tin and threw the rider, who fell heavily. CARTER was unconscious when picked up, and was found to be suffering from concussion of the brain. He was brought into town subsequently by Mr George SMITH, and conveyed to hospital. It having become known that Mr Allan Mc LEAN did not intend to seek re-election as a steward of the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club. Owing to other business engagements occupying his time, several members of the club waited on that gentleman on Saturday and requested him to reconsider. It was pointed out that he had been connected with the club as a steward almost since its foundation, and had always proved himself a most useful and energetic member. After further consideration Mr Allan Mc LEAN Said he would once more allow himself to be nominated for office.
