Only a stout sapling on the side of the road stopped the bus from plunging down a steep incline about 30 feel to the bed of a watercourse. The road at the spot la lined with trees at uneven distances, and had the
mishap occurred a few feet either way, nothing would have stopped it from toppling over and crashing with almost certain loss of life.,
The accident would also have been more serious had the Impact been head-on, for then the passengers would have been thrown heavily forward and would possibly not have escoped so lightly. As it was the Impact was on the left hand elde, sending several of them clear.

The road at the spot, between the 16 and 17 mile posts, is straight and, according to the conductor, there was no other traffic in the vicinity at the time. It is defect possible that a mechanical caused the driver to lose control, but this will not be known until the vehicle is examined.

LADY CALDECOTT PRESENTING
THIS YEAR'S AWARDS
Entries for the Horticultural Society's annual flower and vegetable show next Tuesday maintain almost the same figures as last year, and, with better weather conditions ex- perienced recently, there is every reason to anticipate u display of even -more-brilliance than usual. The function will take place at Volunteer Headquarters.
There are 30 entries for the Open and 18 for the Peak Classes, but a notable absentee from the competi- tive list is Mr. J. T. Bagram, winner of the Banksion Medal at the last exhibition and winner
many trophies in the past.
Mr.
Bagram, who is Honorary Secretary, is again chiefly respon- sible for the organisation, and will bring some exhibits down to show on the non-competitive stands.
Lady Caldecott will present the prizes, and His Excellency the Gover nor, himself a keen amateur hort!- culturist, will visit the show. The band of H.M.S. Berwick will play, by kind permission of Capt. Ë, R. Bent.
