MOTOR CYCLISTS GOOD AND BAD.

The correspondent called "One of 'Em" does not even agree with me that all motof cycles are noisy and that all are too noisy f<rf daily—let alone nightly —use; he certainly must eing a solo, or, if he has a ohorus, it must consist of the deaf. I put it plainly that the traffic "cops" do not prosecute enough, and the one or two prosecuted per annum are* probably on account of their extreme youth, by an apparently sympathetic magistrate fined 5/ and 7/ costs, and no dou'bt the pest chuckled at the cheap notoriety he obtains among ihfe brothers. If only the magistrates and members of the traffic department would spend a night in the Auckland Hospital and be kept awake all night they would hop out of "bed and make a wonderful coup; they certainly could not sleep. I have been there and suffered, so I know. Parnell and other residential suburbs suffer from the same curse. Dear "One of 'Em," please do not think me a captious., carp* ing critic and kill-joy of the pleasures of youti —far from it, as lam probably younger than you—but I am not a believer in the utter eel* fishness of iisers of motor cycles to the detn* ment of the health and happiness of our elderfc LEX.
