The Automobile. —The Board of South Park Commission¬ 
ers, of Chicago, has prohibited automobiles or motocycles from 
using the boulevards and parks under its control.. This action 
is in line with that taken by several Eastern cities. The ground 
of the prohibition is that horseless carriages are dangerous in 
that they tend to frighten horses and discourrge the use of the 
parks by women and children. The adoption of such a rule 
aroused a lot of newspaper talk, and test cases have already been 
started in the courts. similar rule is in force in Central Park, 
New York, and there is the usual protest. The status of the 
horseless carriage will doubtless have to be settled in the courts, 
but until they are brought to a state of practical perfection the 
question will not press for consideration. It is announced that 
a line of horseless cabs will soon be put in service in this city, 
but it is by no means certain that they will prove a success. 
One of the leading firms of retail merchants in Chicago tried 
the horseless carriage in its delivery service, but abandoned 
them, as they were too much trouble to maintain even as ad¬ 
vertisements.— Breeder's Gazette.
