THE RULE OF THE ROAD.
TO THE iniTOR OF ''tub I'RKSS." * Sir, —VOl7 few people* seem to know •--'. the rule of the road properly, and it :s '■. in connection with that that I write . you. I happened to-day to lx> riding one • horeo and leading another. Now, „ ' tvhon leading horses or cattl.j you kocp ; them on your off or righthand side, nnd . -in consequence you keep to the-- right "■ ,of • tho road, no matter whether you t are mooting or overtaking, the idea be- »• inij to prevent the, led animal from swinging out into the road and pos- .' sibly injuring some passerby., In at- ;~ temotiug to follow the rule-" 1 wa« re- .;. ; prated!}' blamed for being on my ■>« wrong side whereas I was on mv right, " but nobody seemed to know it". , I think that this fact should be more . rigidly impressed on the notice of . t people, and hope that others may bene- ; fit V having their attention drawn to ■ ic.—*onrs, etc., ANDREW BOAG.
