The faker that sold the most iliieous

on the Pike made II possible for but a
small percentage OF the crowds 10 visit

Those who did not go within seemed to
extract almost as much enjoyment from a

The Cities Of England.
~ Of The Tlmes Dispatch

Editor of The Times Dispatch
Sir,-I read with interest the intro
Ciuctory note to How cities are governed
in England" in Sundays Times-DiS-
patch, and expected a treat from such q
seemingly gifted author, but as soon as |
read the part about British railways 4
found that though the author may excel
in word painting he does not do SO either
in fairness or accuracy.
He says that the accommodations in
the three classes on the railroads are
practically the same. Common sense Will
teach any one better than that. How
many would pay about three pence per
mile for what they can get for one penny.
He says that II 1t We're not for the signs
one would have no way of knowing
whether lie was in first class or third
class compartment, There arc none so
blind rs those who do not wish to Sec
The first class cars are fully upholstered
on seats and back, and the seats are di-
vIded with ar mrests so that only three
car sit on one side. while the third class
compartmentS 'have,no upholstering at all
and five persons are'required to sit on one
side The law regulates the price of
third class fares, on certain trains each
way, so that the railway companies are
not allowed to charge over ono penny
per mile.

woman from Central Illionis. who writes
English society novels, he says that If
she could see her hero and heroine be-
gin their honeymoon trip in typical
first class English railway train, she
would never attempt another. Can MIR.
Adams prove that the young woman does
not know more about English trains than
he does? How does he know that she has
not seen them start off? | am sure that
most newly married couples would rather
be in compartment alone than In n
crowded. American car. ] am afraid MIR,
Adams is very bilious or dyspeptic.
| am not familiar with the details OF
railroad machinery and fall to understand
why British wheels have to slip and skid
when going round curve when they are
made the same as American ones. All
car wheels are made tapering or OF n
larger diameter towards the inner edge
or flange. so that the tendency of the
train to run in a straight line instead Of
taking the curve, throws the larger diam
etcr Of the wheel on the outer rail and
the smaller diameter Of the other wheel
on the inner rail- so that there Is little
slipping or skidding necessary, VIII tho
author explain why this rule VIII no
work on British tracks as well as OF
American?
The author writes that when the con
ductor desires TO collect or inspect tick
cts, tne tram 10 il"''SH ''''7 ,'fs, !,
permit him to open each separate door 70
that purpose. The rule Is TO inspect tex
cts fust before n train begins It's run I
make sure that no passenger mas got
the wrong train and the tickets are no
inspected or looked at again until IN
LAST stoppage before the terminus Whe
an tickets are taken UP, not by one con
ductor but by several men who are ken
ut that stopping point 50 that there
little or no delay from that cause, Pas
