Lent night a large meeting of shareholder, in the
Metropolitan Saloon Oumibes Company was held at
Redley's Hotel, to take into coludderation the legal measures
which have been instituted by the directors against partke
meniocted with the General Omnibus Company, and to adopt
swab resolution in reference thereto as might be deemed ex-
pedient
Mr. Joon, who occupied the chair, said the object of the
meeting was to consider the conduct of the two companies in
relation to one another, and the iseaeures which had bees
adopted by this company with regard to the Galena Omnibus
Company. He regretted that it was necessary to all such •
mead ns together, beetaime geossolly apeeklag, it was better
for people to Monad to their own business without minding
how other people modneted there. (Hear hear.) But
this eteapeay which was oceoposed of most respectable there-
hoiden, had its prate interfered with by the unfair
which bad from the beginning been placed in their
way General General Omnibus Company. No sooner had
a new and oonveniest omnibus on the old, than

them, although they did not want any nursing. This did
sot answer, however; tor the public preferred to go with the
Sakes omnibus. The drivers of the viral omnibuses, how-
ever, became so clever that they actually frightened people
who wished legal tato the Saloon omnibuses. But the rivalry
was not confined to this, for placards had been circulated
Mating that they went bankrupt, and individuals got into
Oak metainsa bribe expresepurpcori of running them down.
