FALL ON WET TAR.
LADY CYCLIST'S ADVENTURE
A lady on a bicycle had an unenviable experience at Stratford a few days ago. The borough staff were engaged in tarring operations, and just after a section of road had received its coat of tar and the men were waiting for the chips to arrive to be spread over it, a lady approached on a f>ußb bicycle. She apparently did not see he red discs which informed th« publio that the road was under repair and dangerous for traffic She rode on to the danger cone, but had only proceeded about a yard on 'the glassy tarred surface when the bicycle slipped from under her. She was thrown on the tar and her dress was very badly damaged. So adhesive was thfl tar that the lady could not detach herself from it by U«r omx effort*
