like toward a horse—my sentiments toward him are those I en¬ 
tertain toward a pig or donkey, or any other nsefnl animal, nor 
have I ever understood why anyone should be deemed the better 
man because his affections are centred upon a horse. The ob- 
iect of a carriage is to convey people and goods. The carri^e 
is to my mind the best that at least cost adequately fulfills this 
obiect. If motors, by all means, let us have motors. Last Satur¬ 
day I betook myself to Westminster Bridge to see the procession 
of these vehicles on the way to Brighton. I was disappointed. 
No one seems to have grasped the fact that there must be a new 
departure in their form. Judging from those in the procession 
their makers have simply sought to make them as near like car- 
riao-es drawn by horses as possible. Apart from form, the 
lio-hter ones seemed to vibrate greatly. By my side stood a 
talkative lady whose acquaintance I had not previously enjoyed. 
‘ If the people inside of them were cream,’ she said, ‘ they would 
be blitter before they got half-way to Brighton.’ I suggested to 
her that the petrolenm cars smelt unpleasantly. ‘ Stink, she 
said, ‘is the word for them,’ and it certainly was.” Those 
who recall onr report of the fiasco of a motocycle test in this 
city in 1895 will obser\^e that no progress has been made^ in 
eliminating the pungent and objectionable odor of burning 
petroleum or gasoline. Few smells are so penetrating and offen¬ 
sive as these fumes and inventors yet have need for a deodoriz- 
iiio- “ tender ” to be carried along with vehicles. iV general sur¬ 
vey of the situation does not warrant any alarm on the part of 
those engaged in the production of fine horses or draft horses. 
The drudge horse has already been superseded.— Breeders' Ga¬
