To the Editor : Sir,—Attention was called through your columns a short time ago to the practice of children riding at full speed down Milton-road on small four-wheeled contrivances, and the imminent danger to which pedestrians and carts alike are subjected through this insane indulgence in exciting sport. lam very sorry to inform you that the craze has taken firm hold, not only of infants, but of young women or girls, who certainly should know better.
