CYCLING ACCIDENT.

Prat* Association—By Electric Telegraph.

Timaru, October 9. Miss Lissaman, a middle aged lady, was ton down by a cyclist m the suburbs on Thursday evening, and rather badly hurt about the face, and rendered unconscious. Subsequent symptoms indicate internal in juries. She ridox stopped io assist the lady, bat refused to gire hia name, which, how ever, has been ascertained.

A Meibonrne restaurant-keeper, who OMne to financial griof last year, and went off to Ooolgardie with the west wishes of his creditors, has awarded their oonfidehoe by remitting a cheque for payment of all his debts m full and a bit over. The eur pluß was expended on a dinner to celebrate the joyful event. (The first cf a series ot auction sales to be conducted by the New York Wool Exchange was hald, 3»yt Bradstreel's, under favorable auspices at the exchange on August 18th. Representatives from many important bouses engaged m the wool trade were present. This bidding was quite brisk. The efforts of the new Exchange will be watched with keen interest, beoause its methods differ m many respects from those m vogue m the United States for a number of years past, and because it is the only organisation of its kind m this country. In conjunction with the auction sale a classification for wool and the fixing of standard grades has been established. Prior to the adoption of this system there was no official inspection and classification of wool here. The official certificate of the Wool Exchange, represent ing the character and quantity of the wool inspected, will hereafter be available. Upon these certificates the holder may borrow from 65 to 75 per cent of the market value of the wool from Banks.
