Racing Cyclists.

“They were racing and they took no notice of my signaI to stop,” said P.c. Drury, at Doncaster on Tuesday, when giving evidence against John Lee, pithand (16), of Swinton, and. John Frost, pithand (15), of Swinton, who were summoned for riding cycles and failing to stop at the request of a constable, at 1-30 p.m. on Saturday, June 15.

The Chairman (to Lee): Why didn’t you stop?- I mistook the signal.

The boys were let off on payment of costs, 4s. each.
