MORE. HORSES IN PARIS.
They Are Increasing in Spite of the
 Autos Competition,

While, New York and London are talking about the displacement of horses in the city streets and the possibility of their final disappear ance from the cities through the growing use of electricity and of au- tomobiles, the number of horses used in Paris grows at rapid rate.
 The latest enumeration of the ye- hicles circulating in the French cap ital shows an increase in horse drawn carriages for public hire alone of 33 1-3 per cent in eight years. In IT years omnibuses and street cars have increased almost two and half times in number.
 There are now 16,0Q0 carriages for public hire drawn by horses, as against 12,000 in 1900, and the omnibuses and street cars have in- creased from S45 in 1891 to 2,000.
 Private carriages drawn by horses number 5000, merchant wagons 1S,700,. trucks 10000, carriages and wagons of the municipality 1,S00.
 Of automobiles in Paris there are 12,000 in private ownership, and there are 2,250 automobiles for public hire.
