ACCIDENT ON THE WHARF.

An accident occurred on the Wharf this morning which it is fortunate was not attended with any injury to either life or limb. One of the large smooth-bore guns from the Barracks had been brought down to the A.S.P. Company's tee to be there shipped for Napier. The trolly conveying it was placed under the cranes, and an attempt was made to lower the gun on to the Wharf. As soon however as the full weight of the piece was brought to bear, one of the cog wheels gave way, and the gum came down with a run. Some splinters of iron from the ■wheel flew past the bystanders in an alarm ing manner. Two or three of them struck some bags of maize lying near and penetrat ing the sacking buried themselves in the grain. The force with which they were projected would have been quite sufficient to have inflicted a serious if not fatal wound had they struck any one. Luckily no one was hit. The weight of the gun, we under- Btand, is two and a-half tons. The crane is only guaranteed to lift two tons. Owing to the gun falling in an exactly horizontal position the wharf was not injured.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Harbour Board took place this afternoon at the offices of the Board, Mr W. C. Daldy, the chairman, presiding. PILOTAGE. An application from Messrs Stone Bros, for remittance of the pilotage on the barque Helen Malcolm was referred to the Wharf Committee. ASSISTANT PILOT. The report of the Pilot Service Committee announced the appointment of Capt. James as assistant pilot. DEBENTURE COMMITTEE. Aftei the reading and adoption of the re port of this committee the Chairman an nounced that measures were being taken to ascertain if the debentures would be saleable in Sydney. ALLOTMENTS. The report of the Endowment Committee relative to the re-division of allotments be tween Custom-house-street and Fort-street was read and adopted, subject to the decision of the Endowment Committee as to what should be done with the borings for water undertaken by the Board. FINANCE. The minutes of the Finance Committee were read and approved of. ACCOUNTS. Accounts to the amount of £483 5s 8d were passed for payment out of the general ac count. The balance in Bank was stated to .be £1783 6s 4d. The Chairman stated that against this there were votes amounting to over £4000. ELECTION OF MEMBERS. Mr Isaacs moved—"That in all case of elections for members of this Board the no urinations be at oae meeting of the Board and elections take place at the next ordinary meeting of the Board." Mr Holdship seconded the motion. In the conversation that ensued the Chair man stated he shortly intended to move for the formation of a small committee for the purpose of revising the by-laws of the Board. The resolution was carried. NEW TEES ON THE WHARF. Mr McKenzie moved—" That the Clerk of Works be instructed ito prepare plans and estimates for two tees on the west side of Queen-street wharf, one 200 feet long and the other 150 feet, with a view of having the" sune constructed without further delay." Mr Brett seconded the motion, which was carried, and then referred to the Works Com mittee on the motion of Mr Holdship. Mr McKenzie in speaking to his motion said that the work was urgently needed, in fact in its present state the west side of the wharf was a terror to master mariners. ELECTION OF NEW MEMBER. Mr McKenzie moved—"That Mr Ben. _ Tonka be elected a member of the Harbour Board in place of Mr G. Fraser, resigned." Mr Boylan moved—" That • Captain Casey be elected a member of the Harbour Board, to supply the vacancy of Mr Fraser." On the votes being taken six were recorded for Mr Tonks and five for Captain Casey. The Chairman formally announced that Mr Tonks was elected a member of the Board. THE NORTH SHORE. Mr Mays moved—" That part of the fore show t Dcvonpqrt, lying between the Naval i and the Point recently let to Mr I=l Siccol, be leased in allotments for 21 *""*-•■ •£**» *D order to satisfy the present demand sites for boat-builders and kindred trades." The mover recommended his motion in a practical speech. He alluded to the lack of •ccoaamodation for boat • builders at we North Shore: and spoke of

the advantages which would accrue to the Board from the scheme proposed. The motion, after some discussion, was carried, and referred to the Endowment Com mittee to reporb upon. This was all the business. AUCKLAND STOCK ANDIMNING ASSOCIATION. Business done—
