THE KAIKORAI SAL YARDS.

To the Editor. ■ IR.- For a long time I have heard repeated enmplaints from persons Jivinj in the neighborhood of these si.le yards about the dangers children are exposed to fmm wild cattle being driven to them. ' greater danger to be dreaded than from these wild cattle is from the men who carry on the practice of employing Utile bo\s ot tender ages to take charge o their horses while attending these sales. I find that school children on their way to school are tempted with sixpence or a shilling to mind the horses beion-,ii'g to the*e mn. Only last Wednesday some little boys were on their way to school, and by the offer of money were induced intake charge of tbe hoises. One lad had a miraculous escape. He had a spirited home to mind, and got on the animal's back. >be little fellow having no control over tbe animal, it gallop d off with him and threw him on to the metalled road. He was cut very much on the head and shoulders, be-sid-s being bruised cousiderab y Men who employ little boys for such purposes, and encourage them to absent themselves from s-'hool, should be ashamed of themselves. If tiie police could see their way to put a stop to such practices they would elun the gratitude of many another who is, like mvst-lf, A Father. Sunnyside, November G
