Dr. Holland has written a second letter from Eng
land to the AS'pring field Republican, in which he remarks:'
" The English horse, employed in the streets of a city, nt
on the roads of the country, does twice as much work t'.s
the American horse similarly employed in America. 1:111.g
is the patent, undeniable fact. No man can fail to see 1t
who has his eyes about him. How does he do it? Wil
does ho do it ? These are most important questions to au
American. Is the English horse better than the Attlervfi
can ? Not at all. Is he overworked ? I have seen °-
evidence that he is. I have seen but ono lame horse in lina,,
don. The simple explanation is that the English at
has invested in perfect and permanent roads vi"
the American expends in perishable horses that re;
quiro to be fed. We are using to-day, in the little town
°...
Springfield, just twice as many horses as would be Oct
sary to do its business if the roads all over the town Wl.'o
as good as Main-street is from Ferry to Central. We Ls
supporting hundreds of horses to drag loads through lin-d-
-that ought to be filled, over sand that should be hardelievio
through mud that ought not to be permitted to exist. la,
have the misery of bad roads, and are actually or Pr3c 0
cally called upon to pay a premium for them. It vi_..„°,o
be demonstrably cheaper to have good roads than r'.o
ones. It is so here. A road well built is easily kept tel a
repair. A mile of good macadam is more easily suPPertbo
than a poor horse. I intended to talk a little about u
Hansom cab, tut I will only add that I am a thorutlga
convert to this most economical and most sensible 0f 6
public vehicles."
