| wish to commend the following,
by Minna Irwin in the Washington
Star to some of the whiz-wagon oc-
cupants who make midnight streaks
along Kalakaua avenue:
We slipped from the dark garage
At ten of a moonless night,
And we had the mutfier on, you bet,
And lit but single light
But we opened up TO the final notch
The minute we got outside,
And away we tore with bang and
roar
And for the joy of midnight ride.
We grazed the front of a trolley car,
And tumbled a pushcart down,
And bumped the end of load of coal,
And scattered it over the town.
1t was barrels of fun to watch folks run
AS we merrily whizzed along,
With frenzied toot, or scornful boot
Or a snatch of a jeering song.
We shrieked with glee as we tried to
see
How fast the machine could go,
And we burst the tires, but we laughed
the more,
For they were not ours, you know.
The auto jumped, and it bumped and
thumped,
And cop or two gave chase
But we lost them all likes the leaves in
fall,
For they could not keep the pace.
Whenever we saw gilded sign
We stopped for a round of drinks,
And we hit boy, but were out of sight
In less than couple of winks;
And then we met with another car, J
A monster painted green,
And we challenged it in sport terms
To race with our machine.
We let it out till we went so fast
That the road was like a streak,
And could not hear, and l could not
see,
And | could not even sneak
