(By an Eye-witness). ONLY tho other day a narrow esoape from a sadden and terrible acoident occurea in one of the prinoipal streets of Wanganui. Mr was riding swift- ly along on. bis bioyole, when » friend on the footpath attracted his attention, where upon he turned his head to acknowledge the salutation, and to his grest conster- nation upon looking ahead pgam he found himself within a very few feet of a swiftly approaching horse and cart. Immediately he grasped with horror the situation, and with a superhuman effort he grip- ped the handles tighter and swerved the machine to one side, out of danger. Passers-by stood horrified, expecting an awful calamity. But when they recog- nised that the machine was one of the famous Red Birds, they again breathed freely, and acknowledged the superior- ity of that particular make of Bicycle over all" others, and whilst compliment- ing him upon his marvellous escape, one and all emphatically expressed the opinion that Bed Birds had proved, be- yond .ill doubt, that they are absolutely before all others in durability and strength. Comment on the above is unnecessary, except to mention that MR VOYCE, of Ridgway Street, is the Sold Agent looally for RED BIRDS, and' desires the publio to bear this in mind when purchasing a Bicycle. RED BIRDS have wings and never tire. THE MANCHESTER ASSURANCE COMPANY. Established 1824. FIRE. TOTAL FUNDS~AND SECURITY, £3,000,000.
