No 126 came down the latter street. the horses
at a gailop The driver was preparing to make
2 long turn into smith-st-, when he heard
I,ally's automobile. Instead he made short
sharp turn around the corner. The engine ran
I'D on two wheels and came within an ace Of
tipping over.
The driver Of the automobile turned sharply
to the right, running partly onto the curb, and
then dashed without stopping. The specta-
tors held their breath as they watched for
the collision that seemed inevitable. The rear
wheel of the engine just grazed the tonneau
of the automobile.
Several months ago at the same corner I,aJiv
was thrown from the automobile; which vas
run into Smith-st. car in order to avoid crash
ing into the automobile Of Borough President

Of a race riot and disclaim all responsibility
for the use Of that term. Ex-Chief Devery
