A UNIQUE and remarkable tourney
was witnessed in New York. A cab
man, while trying to get out of the way
of car, ran his vehicle into another
cab. He turned to apologize, but re-
ceiyed a blow across the face from the
whiplash of Jehu number :. Jehu num-
ber retaliated, and then commenced a
most remarkable duel. The two cab
men drove round and round each other,
managing their horses with the left
hand and plying the lash with the right.
1t looked like a scene from ome old
Grecian history. The two-wheeled cabs
answered very well for war chariots
and the whips for spears or swords.
