HORSE CABS DISPLACED
BY SWIFT TAXI IN MADRID
Owners Of OId-Time Vehicles Send

Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
MADRTD.-Horse cabs are still in
evidence in Madrid, but rarely are
they hired for business or pleasure
trips. Their mainstay- of existence Is
to follow funeral professions to the
cemeteries.
The advent Of the taxi, which was
unknown six years ago in Madrid, has
virtually killed the cabdriver's trade
and sent his broken-down horse to the
bull ring to be dispatched quickly on
the points of the bulls horns.
Nobody knows what has become Of
the cabbies. There remain about 100
horse cabs in the city in spite of the
advent OF more than 5000 automobile
taxis. Many Of the younger drivers
have turned to taxi-driving for a liv-
ing. and they make good at 1t, for
they know the winding streets and
narrow lanes.
Others have retired, but many
3arvies remain, sometimes as perma-
nent coachmen in cabs provided by
clubs for members convenience, and
others picking up fares who still
love to drive through the streets in
the afternoon as they did when they
were young.
