CABS AGAIN.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sib,-In perusing the Columns of your paper last evening I Doticed a short letter concerning cabs, a»id a gentleman dirties us boots through having to go on business to lararu, there being no cabs jast at the moment he wanted one; Now I think it rather strange that he could only find fault because it was dirty, and that there was no asphalt pavement to walk upon: but I ?ould and would positively swear that a cab is to be got at any half hour ia. the day (except Sundays) between. 1 Grahamstown and Shortland. How often the public must notice at le^.st half a' dozen cabs standing waiting for fares— and they have to wait, I can assure you, for hours sometimes. Now, to finish up -I have a little knowledge, of the road^ and say that if it does not pay fora gentleman to wait ten minutes for a cab, 1 am positively sure that it -does not pay the cab proprietor, to stand oa the corner and wait, with clean washed cab and horses for two or three hours for a passenger that wants to go to Tararu, and wait there till he kites to come back, and a for a « bob."-I am, yours, very much. 1 Jumbo.
