MOTOR AND TRAM-CAR.

Win for the Latter.

The motor, hog is still abroad m Christoh'urch. A person of his class is no-class, absolutely He drives like the devil day and night, especially if he is a doctor and has nobody to go to visit. But Dr. Diamond had somebody to visit the other ni^ht and he went like blazes along Lincoln-road. Well, he met a tram and a horse and he knows what struck him. . He had a cove m the car named Merritt, of the Christchurch Meat Company, who got' hit up m "Truth" last week, and who at time of writing wasVunconsoious. DIAMOND HIT THE TRAM so hard that four hundred quid's worth of ironmongery went to potWhy these hogs who race like hell should endanger lives it is very difficult to understand. Of course they endanger their own lives, but that doesn't matter. The game is getting 100 strong' m Christchurch and people: are getting on to these small gods that own a motor-car. In the present case, Diamond and his mate got pitched on to the cold, white earth, and medical atten'fcion was required, and everything was rotten. A tram-car is a hard thing to bump against, but people of common sense needn't bump against it. 1 Still doctors and" other hogs won't take warning. .
