NO JOY RIDE.
FlllE BRIGADE AND CROWDS. (By Telegraph—Special Corrcsoondent.) i Palmerston North,. August 6.

Ho cites three incidents. On tho occasion of the tire at Wat-son Brothers' store on Saturday, two ladies stood in front, of the motor, which had to slow down; secondly, a motor-cyclist shot tantalisingly across its bows; and thirdly tho fire plug was "in possession" of a strong force of the populace, who wero standing on it. After tho railway fire, some cyclists had tho bewildering audacity to hnng on to tho 6ide of tho fire motor to got a "tow" homewards.
