THE lIENUI BRIDGE. (To tho Editor.) Sir,—l was greatly amused on reading your issuo of even date to sco a thrilling reference to what might have been a serious accident at the I-lenui bridge, it 1 being stated that a lady was nearly run down by a horseman, although no blame was attachable to the rider. Now, sir, that horseman 'happened to be the contractor, who was attending to the lights, and the lady was a|>proaching wit|li a gentleman alongside (who, by tho way, chose the centre of tho roadway), and called out when about a chain away, "Don't run over us," as if there was any, danger. The happy couple were evidently so much engaged in other topics that they were suddenly alaranod to think that there was (anyone within half a milo of them. It would have been a pity for anyone to have suggested that they should walk single iile on the footwalk laid expressly for them. However, your readers will enjoy the joke, I'm sure, and will be anxious to know tho identity of one who escaped so serious an accident.—l am, etc., A. A. PIKETT. August sth.
