LONDON, June 26.--In New York and Phlla-
dephia the greater part of what may be called
city travel Ia upon the nearly omn present street
car. Nearly every street has its line. and the
system is really very complete and convenient.
In London tram ears English for street cars)
have not obtained such universal use. yet there
arc no less than four distinguished competitors
for the public patronage in this respect.
Nearly all the English railways which havctcr-
mini in London pass through from four TO ten
miles Of tn metropolis and its suburbs. and.
on that part Of their lines. carry immense num-
bers of rassongcrs WHO live In the suburbs. and
arc employed in the city. Tho stations arc but
about half a mile apart. AMI bctwccon 3 and
in the morning and and in the evening both
stations and trains are crowded. Fares are
conveniently arranged for short distances. md
on nearly all trains you may ride by first.
second. or third class cars. ns suits your purse
or humor
Fares for first. second. and third class are
about g. 81. and cents per mile respectively.
The best cars have rather more luxurious up
hulstcry than the same class in tho United
states hut none of the classes are provided
with drinking water. closets. or fire. Second
elm cnrs are very comfortable. but IRE not at

and considerably moro than hali the people
