A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
For some time past the Masterton police have been displaying somewhat unusual activity in the matter of prosecuting the rash cyclist who pedals his way between the hoars of sunset and sunrise without having a light"attach»>d to his bicycle. It is certainly the duty of tha police to see that the law is duly observed, and not merely a pDrtion thereof, but the whole of it, so far as they are capable of doing. Cyclist 3 who ride without lights are more dangerous to themselves than anyone else, but the person who drives a vehicle, or cart, on a dark night without showing lights is a real danger to all other traffic on tha road. Just now, while the police ara rigidly keeping the cyclist up to th 3 mark, wa would draw their attention to the large number of unlighted vehicles that are driven after dark in Masterton and suburbs.
