The rumour is very persistent that a marriage in the royal family is dependent upon the bill becoming a law, which, of course, would explain the Prince of Wales'a angarnoss.

The only objection to thiess horseless vehicles sejus to be a purely Bentimental one, and one which will only be felt by lovers of the horses. It may be urged that even this section of the public we will prefer to drive their ofa horsee rather than to be propelled with in- Binitely groutor speed and lean dangor will still be at liberty to do so. But this is doubtful, for it is more than likely that Fow horses of ceilin ary epirit will stand the near approach of these explicable machines, moving along without one of their kind to pull it Street driving will become too dangerous, and the horseless Earrings must inevitably rout its flesh and, blood rival from the hold. Just sa the steam engine has supercedet the mail ccach, so, we foar, must the horseless cal, hansom, and tramour supersede their counterparts in prosent
DED.
This being so, we now come to the mist important question from the point of view of the agort-loving public. Wat effect will this iunc tation have on the price of horses? T obvious that the cinns of animal noy used for publio draught will hauame a drug in the arket the supply will; for years to come, far exceed the demam, and, as a necessary result, the price must degrease in proportion to tie clecrease in the demand. The loss will be that of the hors dealer and breeder, principally of. the latter. Ho, will therefore coise breeding this class of animal altogether, at its unlikdy he will be able to entirely re- "linguish bia oulling. He will, therefore, be obligal to turn hutinution almost eatively to bantara, ears, and palo poties; in other words he will only be able to find a market for sporting animals. Dees not this seem us if he mast taise the pries of this already posten otes In all probability it will be so. No doubt it is solfishness, pure and simple, to re grab the introduction of an inveffion ea ob- viously for the public good, just simply because it seems to affect the interests of a large. majority of horse-twners; but for most of us. the old mode of conveyance was quite good enough. Tha ordinary individual can: 900 no very tangible advantage to be gained by this form of new motor car while, on the other band, he was that his favourite pastimes are almost bound to become more and incre, ox- penye.
People are apt to regard the hornslosa Car- riage is an ephemera, fnd; sa, tôn, was it in the infancy of the steam-engine. It needs no pro phet to assert that the horseless carriage will prove anything but a fad. Defore many years they must be common objects of the streets and woantry roads. We must bow to the inevitable, but lat us hope that it may not have the dis astrons effect on our sports and pastimes which it sogns to threaten. However, the true horse Owner an extract and small grain of comfort from the coming change. It is notorious that the horses in use for draught work, such as bas howson, cab horses, and the like, are the most „ill-treated, overworked, and underfel of any of these creatures.
