The street car service OF New Orleans is
probably larger and more universally pat.
ronissd than that OF any other city in the
land. On several Of the logger lines steam
trains are run at brief Intervals during the
day. And on ell the lines may be seen at
any honr OF the day smaller cars, each
drawn by one mule. and announcing its
approach by the universal car-bell tinkle.
The net work of those tracks extends
throughout the entire city. l think it is
true that one cannot station himself at any
point where he may not find n car within
At least two blocks Of him. And as all
these lines OF cars have common center,
one may always know where to 60 The
