After 1 1 p, m. and until 6 a. m., all fares double. 



All journeys not specified in this tariff will be 

 paid by previous arrangement. 



Tourists who wish to avoid all difficulties 

 with cabmen should never engage a public car- 

 riage for a long drive without previously, through 

 a hotel interpreter, or clerk, having come to an 

 agreement with the coachmen as to the route to 

 be taken, the stops to be made, and the amount to 

 be paid at the end of the trip. Coachmen are 

 human, and there is no fixed tariff for special 

 long drives. 



Also, the law sets the price of a carriage hired 

 by the hour, for business purposes, at $1.25, for 

 one or two persons, but the cabman is accustomed 

 to receive $1.50, and his services are well worth it. 



When engaging a carriage for driving by the 

 hour the tourist will do well to specify, through 

 the hotel clerk, or interpreter, how long he wants 

 the conveyance, and to see the time on starting, 

 as the coachmen do not understand English, and 

 by doing this will avoid all the difficulties with 

 cabmen.
