VATICAN COACHES TO GO. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, ROMIL November 23. One of the picturesque features of Rome will disappear as a result of _ tho Pope’s decision to abolish the Vatican horses and carriages and replace them with motor cars. Thus the oldfashioned Vatican coaches, drawn by a pair of black, horses, will no longer cross the bridges of Borgo to excite the wonder of Romans and tho curiosity of tourists. The Pope will very likely be seen in the near future, when the Vatican question is settled with the Fascist Government, driving in state in a limousine from St._ Peter’s to tho Lateral! Basilica ns a sign that a new spirit has'penetrated the eternal city. ■
