amused by a rencontre of rather a curious deacr;p-
tion, which took place between two dashing Jekris,
whe.accidentallv locked the'wheels of each othei*
gigs so firmly together, that • their career was etrec-
wally stopped. After mutual but fruitiss etfortv
disengage themselves, the Gentlemen -proceeded• to
impute to each other the want of skill
which lefl'to
the accident'. This imputation .being sorely felt Or
both parties, they waxed warm, and at length trau.3-
ferred the lashes of their whips from their horses toeach others shoulders.. • The quadiupeds
,becorni4
alarmed, and occasionally sharing the blows intet),l,
ed for the tipeds, exerted their strength so effeW -
ally, that at last the wheel of one of the - vehick:s
'was fairly broken off, and the other being thus frete,l
from its trammels, was, with its driver, carried off
in triumph.
