The item in yesterdays PRESS about

Kapena pool, was incorrect as tothe time
of the unlawful ablution. Our informant
states that two men were seen bathing
in Kapena pool on Monday afternoon
last Government officials will please
take notice this error of time was not
corrected on account of threat made
by one of them, but would have been
made this morning as soon as the error,
which was Typographical, was dis
covered-the original item should have
read day 6etore yesterday afternoon.
Official "bulldozing" doesn't "go down"
either before or after election.
Yesterday afternoon at half-past five
o'clock, Guy Wodehouse, son of the
British Commissioner, met with a
serious and painful accident, in front of
the Union Feed Co.'S warehouse, on
Queen street. He was riding horse
along Queen street, when the reins
broke, frightening the horse, which
started down the stree on a run.
When in front of the warehouse,
the rider jumped from the horses
back, and in falling to the ground,
broke his left ankle. Medical attend
ance was at once called, and the in
jured man removed to his home, where
his ankle was set. He was resting
easily at last accounts.
