It is curious that the letter from "Jovride" which we printed last, describing how he _was twice held up on the Rubicon Road when driving at night, by obstructions laid on the road by Chinese, has not attracted more notice. Possibly the pseudonym adopted Ted some to say, "And serve him right." Yet the incident is rather a serious one. For years past, of course. paper hunters have known how the Chinese love to pick up the paper and lay it towards "Pons'? or other chasms. But in this there appears nothing but a spirit of mischief. It may be that, the same has prompted the laying of bamboo poles on Rubicon Road, but one can hardly imagine that the most ignorant Chinese peasant would fail to realize how very serious an accident might thus result, whereas a paper hunt"'chasm."* when he fails to clear it, very rarely means more for a rider} than mud and a wetting. It rather looks as if some motorists had been making themselves obnoxious on the Rubicon Road by high speed driving and general inconsiderateness; and the Automobile Club! might see what they could do in the matter.
