Eden Terraco had a mild cxictement when a motor car, driven by a wellknown business man of the city, found it necessary to dash briskly across (he pavement at the junction of FUen Terrace and Dominion road. There was some congestion of traffic at this point of the road, and the driver of the car, turning sharplv into the terrace, d-as forced to decide between the unyielding surface of a tramway pole and an open space of pavement. He chose tho latter, pulling up before the window of a grocer’s shop, but scattering potatoes and produce exhibited outdoors in his stride. He was also near to encountering a sleeping innocent, who reposed in its go-cart outside a shop, but merely touched the cart. He pulled off again quickly, and the only traces remaining were a few of the new season’s potatoes and a badly-frightened mother of the sleeping baby.
