Especial Correspondence
There are $4,000 cabs in London,
and nearly all of them belong to one
man, and nobleman at that, for the
premier earl of England, he of Shews-
bury and Talbot, has vast income
from the cab business of the largest
city in the world The earl gives
his pet hobby as the cab trade" and
he is SO fond of cabs that he frequent
ly drives them. and, although he is a
man of vast wealth, he seeks his fares
as eagerly along the Strand and Pic
cadilly as any coster cabby that ever
cracked a whip.
1t is impossible for any one who
has visited London to think of that
city without a background of hanson
cabs looming up through the fog and
smoke that still cling to the memory,
for cabs are as much part of the
gloomy old city as Westminster abbey
or the Parliament houses.
Next to bowling along on the top of
a bus. there is nothing that the Lon
don streets has to offer quite SO de-

The ordeal of examining a cab is
not severe. The official glances over
it, and produces pot of yellow ochre,
a shaving brush and stencil plate,

he marks the device of royal arms or

the stencil mark is stamped, and the

Control of the Industry.

Control of the Industry.
The cab industry is in the hands of
a large number of men, about 1000,
many of whom own three or four cabs
which they let out and are known by
the title of "Mushers."
Before a cab is allowed to go on
the street three payments have to be
made-5s for a drivers license, G2
for hackney carriage license, paid by
the owner to the police authorities at
Scotland Yard, and 15s for carriage
duty, also paid by the owner to the
inland revenue.
Before, however, the owner can get
his license, his vehicle must be seen
and inspected by the police. Clerken-
well police station is the chief center,
and here, on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Saturdays, there is an official in
attendance to examine cabs and issue
the two number plates, one to be fas-
tened on the inside, and the other, the
larger one, to be fastened outside on
the back.
Every cab is examined and licensed

Societies for the Cabmen.

0OCICklCS III tiiS Sot'IiS''
There are in London several socie-
ties for the benefit of cabmen, the two
most important being the Cab Drivers
Benevolent Association and the
Southwestern Friendly Society. The
former society grants annuities to
aged drivers, gives legal assistance
and grants loans without interest to
members. The Southwestern Friendly
Society on the other hand, is self-sup-
porting, it has over 700 members and
is in all respects exactly what a
friendly society should be.

pocketbook manfully and paying his
share without murmur.
Then there is another body called
of which is to look after the little
buildings called "cabmen's shelters,
that one sees Rugged up against the
curbstone at intervals all through the
streets of London. In these shelters
there is a wholesome lunch provided
with hot coffee or tea for small sum,
and here are toilet conveniences and
a stove where cabby may warm his
fingers and toes in severe weather.
The attendants of these shelters are
usually retired cabbies. They pay a
small rent and run the shelters for
the general society. These places are
very coy and inviting and on pleasant
summer afternoons one may hear
shouts of laughter from the open win
dows, and then one may know that

find himself at Marlborough station

harassed by the police and suspected
by the public for years, he has grown
to look upon himself in the light of
licensed buccaneer, to whom every
passenger is lawful prey.
The young and modern cabby is
different, however. He feels friendly
with the general public, and wears a
stylish overcoat and shining top hat
that does much to attract fares.
Sometimes he is handsome and dis
tinguished looking. in which case one
is apt to suspect him of being a crush.
