MOTORISTS AND MOTORISTS.

, K • 5 tO TUB EDITOR OT "THB PRESS." "■"l*\'.\j Sir,—On returning from Prebbleton a i-iH! bo ago, through tho vile state Ljii «f the Main South, road (a disgrace to ;j ;ja ; any authority) I was riding a push-bib© .ftVi'J on my wrong sid©, trying to pick out .:!*], j§ tho best part, when a motor-car with ■■'&'{& ; two men in it, also on the wrong side, «'iT4 up behind me, blowing the horn, j'.||| some distance off. I commenced to ' Jj|| ttirn into the left to get on my right ■"■'.L : .'n side, bat seeing the ruts and stones, I ■■itM .''knew I. should have an accident, so I ■jijjjii turned again into the right. The car did tho same. "When I picked myself ■] fp up none tho worse but for a severe ■j,i ■■$ j shaking and split trousers, we found the ,ij ;,;'■;« . cycle considerably damaged. It was imli II ' possible to ride it, and they lrindly put |iP ;it in their car and gave rao a lift to >U:'H j tho cycle repairer's on Riecarton road, ." vffl j and when I called for it this week, to i's& , my astonishment I ,was told they came 1»fl v ,l P i Q a car t^ o Q y after and said tho i' ;'M » necount had to be Bent into them, at %'■ u ftho oflico of the Farmers' Co-op. Now, ■i' I! much at fault as they were, .'if I it never suggested! even part payment i;jj;i § ;of damages. They did not -know me iv I • imd I don't know them, yet conld they !?|j hare been moro gentlemanly? I think ' |3 ; you will agree with me that such rare jift § conduct should be as fully made public y"ss I as that of the many road-hogs we read I 'f# : lS übont almost daily.—Yours, etc^, S* 2 FEEDk.HALE. , 90 .Worcester street. .
