"He eatum too manv oat," said Wong Lee, a Chinese who was quietly holding a horse l>v a scrap of harness while several tramway -officials were engaged removing a wrecked express from off the tramline at the corner of Aro and Willis streets on Wednesday. "John"' was hawking vegetables and fruit in Devon street when his horse, which was attached to an express, took flight and bolted for home. As the animal gathered pace the vehicle swayed in an alarming manner. There was a trail of fruit and vegetables along the road, the former of which was soon removed by a contingent of small boys, while in the distance John'' could be seen coming along at his best pace. Turning into Willis street a wheel ot the express got caught in the tramline, the horse did a Gaby glide, and the vehicle minus a wheel or two came to rest upside down in the middle of the street. The horse was not hurt, but the harness was in pieces, and so was the express. A crowd soon gathered, and the most unperturbed individual present was "John," who looked upon the situation as if it was a daily occurrence.—N.Z. Times.
