DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
Sir, -Iβ it not tune that the tramway authorities took action against the Miramar pony jockeys, who are constantly causing trouble in the late cars proceeding to Miramar' On Friday night two of these "hoodlums" and a' Sydney: pugilist,were guilty of using the most'filthy language, towards an old gentleman, and, on being remonstrated with a free fight occurred. The pugilist and tho jockeys got all the Nvorst of it, and the former was put off the car, but this is not enough The authorities should protect people who are compelled to uso . the ■ Into cars'after'having been to tho theatre, etc,, and I have no doubt that a conviction against one of the offenders would act as a deterrent to ' the others If theso blackguards are* not checked , at once we shall soon have a repetition of "push" offences that were so common some years ago—l am, etc, DISGUSTED.
