FURIOUS RIDING.
TO THE EDITOR*. Silt, — Acts of vandalism are committed here with impunity, which most assuredly would not be permitted in any other civilized commuuity. I refer moie particularly to the dangerous practice in vogue of furious riding in the streets at night; positively a person's life is not safe unless he keeps on the alert. The other night, a remarkably dark one, a, lad was driving a troop of horses down Manches* tcr- street. One of them had parted from the mob opposite the Bank of Australasia, and went careering along the footpath at a gallop, to the imminent danger of colliding with any person that might be in the way. Where is the bye-law ?ode ? A scare-crow hung up for birds to perch upon? I don't know how women and children escape. But, sir, there, can be. only one result to such conduct, and that will be a fatal accident.- I am, &C, Civis.
