One of the ‘.surprises London holds in store for the visitor is the extent of the horse traffic on the streets, the fact of the matter being that there are more horse-drawn vehicles in use now than at any time' since the war. So much so, that the spectacle of a hansom cab making its way slowly down Oxford .Street the other day caused no astonishment whatever. Motor vehicles arc being sold -daily to give place to the waggon, and scores of stables which had been converted into garages arc being restored. If the process continues. the horse will soon be as popular and as common as it was twenty years ago. The value of “Dobbin” as an economic factor is such that he is regarded as a cheaper investment than the motor, especially tor short journeys.
