THE ROAD HOG
to thk xnrxoß or "thb prkss."
Sir.—"Wo have heard a lot lately ! about tli© above -wild animal, end he was very much in evidence on Monday morning at about 7.45. Ho was seen riding a bicycle dawn the Ferry road with Jiis lieed nearly on the front of the bicycle, and was eoorefhing at about 25 or PtO mites an hour; he was on hto wrong side, mid had not the manners to even grunt. My eon wae coming in the opposite direction, •μ-ith the re/suJt that he -n-as run into md thrown on the foot-path. His bicycle was damaged, end he.tors considerably bruised, and hie clothes were torn. . I think that this hog must have been a ronl Captain Owk, for he had not the manners to stop and sco if tlio boy was hurt or not. Aβ a matter cf feet he was partly etunned, and only fox some bystanders he might -have" remained for some time. I think-that it is time the police were more on the look-out for these gentlemen known ac eeorahere. and hive tihem put on the roads at Lyttelton fora month.—Yours, etc. F. H. J. CLARK.
