SAD DEATH. – Very deep sympathy is expressed for Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Clarke, whose only daughter, Jean Nanice, passed away on Wednesday morning. This bright little girl, who was born in Taranaki, N.Z., and was 6 ½ years of age, was about five months ago operated on for adenoids and tonsilitis.

The funeral took place on Thursday morning. …

Mr. C. de Saxe officiated in his usual courteous manner as M.C. and Miss Kurz and Mr. J. Buckley rendered their customary harmonious strains of music. Under the capable management of the wives, sisters and friends of the committee a recherche supper was set before the patrons. The door takings amounted to £16 15s.

Cannon, of Mynora, under the care of Dr. Cutler, is progressing satisfactorily after her recent severe accident, through a horse getting out of control of its rider, - Cragon (who was returning to Mr. A. Louttit’s on the second day of the Show) and galloping over her.
