Tim negligent manner in which a large number of youths pilot their push bicycles around the main thoroughfares of the town was rather rudely impressed upon a Palmerston North citizen at midday yesterday. He was standing beside one of the taxi stands in the Square, when an irrepressible youth—apparently overanxious to make his dinner hour as fruitful as possible—dashed in on his wrong side between a travelling bus and the group of mien, striking one of the latter in the legs and knocking him down on to the road. A startled exclamation, an apology!, the impromptu, innovation of .a dusty suit, and a hasty exit, and the participants in the incident were lost, in: the noon-liour bustle.
