Public Carriages. 

 One can at almost any hour of the day find on some 

 one of the streets a public carriage, if one wishes a 

 ride. They are of the class denominated beach 

 wagons, and can, with a driver, be hired by the hour. 

 The drivers are generally very loquacious, and if what 

 they say is not always strictly truthful, one has the 

 satisfaction of knowing that he is having a pretty fair 

 ride at a pretty round price. These carriages with 

 their drivers are licensed and numbered. Appended 

 is a list of all carriages licensed, furnished by the 

 courteous town clerk, Mr. J. F. Brown. The price 

 by the hour for a beach wagon and driver is $1.00, and 

 by reference to livery stables a list of prices will be 

 found for hacks, etc.
