The Herdic Cabs i'm Washington.

AhhANGsAENIS EUh THEIR INTRODUCTION.
Licenses have been issued for thirty-1ve
Herdic cabs 70 be put on our streets by the
patentee; regular lines to be established on our
most fr, quented th0rolghfares, and special
lines when occasion demands it, such as pic
mes, excursions, arrival OF trains, boats, etc,
anordtng cheap transit throughout the city.
The parties Interested have rented and are now
occupying the old Kimmell livery stables, on C
street, for the reception of fine stock OF
horses. and the cabs will arrive here Ia
few days The cabs are for one horse, light
and elegantly made and suited for eight
passengers. and the fare viii be i've
cents ride from any given point to another.
The intention IL TO put on about two hundred
OF these carriages as the demand increases.
The patentee has secured a site In central
location for the erection OF extensive stable
ana housing accommodations or substantial
and permanent character, and the prospect for
successful enterprise Is very natterlng. One
feature in the construction Of these cabs is that
every passenger is guaranteed seat as there
can be no standing room, aud they viii afford
great relief TO Oyercrowded street cars In this
particular. The wheels OF these caDs are large
ard the body CT the vehicle sinks quite low,
aGOrding easy access and egreSs from the rear
Of the CAB.
