ONE of Mr.. Wards drays which had taken

ONE of Mr. Wards drays, which had taken a
load of piping up for the Government reservoir on
Monday afternoon, was returning to the city, and
when coming down the cemetery hill the driver lost
control his horses, which dashed down the hill,
and swerved Just below the cemetery gate and
struck violently against the wall The inside horse
was thrown down and badly injured by the iron
work of the dray. They we're soon unhitched from
the dray, and the injured horse put on her feet
and led quietly into town. Had not the dray been
brought up where it was, 1t would have charged
down Nuuanu Avenue at full gallop, just about the
hour when business people are returning to their
homes, and the consequences might have been very
serious. If the driver, anticipating this, put his
dray against the wall rs the best way OF stopping
it, he deserves great credit for his presence of
mind. The injuries to the horse, though severe,
are not likely TO be fatal. The dray was brought
in on Tuesday morning.

instructive remarks on the subject we're made by
