At nine o'clock last night an empty taxi ran backwards at the junction of Garden and Macdonnell Roads, and collided with a lamp-post, No damage was done to the taxi, but a pane of glass of the lamp was smashed. It is believed that the taxi driver missed his gear when changing it, and momentarily lost control.

Crispin and his brother Crispian were born in Rome in the third century. Being con- verted to Christianity, and feeling a call to apostolic work they journeyed through Italy and France, preaching and finally settling at Soissons. The written nunals of those days. are few and scanty, and it has been pointed out that since the Greek and Latin words for a shoe, "crepis" and "credpida," bear a marked 'resemblance to the saint's name, it is possible that Crispin is a fictitious per- sonage.M.
