SECOND CLASS FARES TO End

London. July s-The Great Western
Railroad Company has announced that
it will abolish second class fares and ac-
commodations on its new line between
London and Birmingham. This is in
pursuance of it's policy of gradually
abolishing second class on all its trains.
The policy of most English railroads
now is TO do away with second class alto
gether, retaining only the two classes
first and third. Most of the roads have
had experts examining Anerican equip
rent and one result has been that within
the last ten years when building new cars
they have made the third class accommo-
dalton. so far as furnishing is concerned,
almost as, good as the second class.
The only real difference between third
class and first class on the best trains
In England nowadays Is IN the number
of passengers in q compartment. a third
class compartment In ordinary trains is
arranged to accommodate ten passengers,
Ave on each seat There are no arm
rests dividing the seats. In a corridor
carriage a car with q narrow aisle ex-
tending the entire length Of the car at
one side, the transverse seats hold four
third class passengers each.
In a first class compartment non-corri-
dor car the transverse seats accommodate
three passengers on each side. In corri-
dor cars the frst-class seats accommo-
