POLICEMAN AND PEDALLER.
The Lyttleton Times says A quaint story of a policeman and a pedaller is entertaining the city just now. A policeman, bicycling along a dusty, stony, rutty road, overtook a heated and sore pedaller, and the two entered into conversation concrning the shortcomings of local bodies. A smooth and tempting footpath ran beside the road, but as the policeman was in uniform, it was obviously impossible to for tho two to take it. A plan was formed to meet tho difficulty. The pedaller went ahead the footpath, and tho policeman followed, the inference being that the policeman was endeavoring to overtake the lawbreaker. A number of interested spectators took this view, and heartily cheered the pedaller. But a stern chase is proverbially a long one, and this chase did not end until both policeman and pedaller much heated arrived at a place oi refreshment.
