PROGRESS IN IRELAND.
[from OUK OWN correspondent.]
London', November 25. Evert visitor to Ireland complains of the antiquated mot-hods of transit in. Dublin, and it. is apparently the intention of Dublin that they shall continue to complain. When a deputation from the Dublin Anti-Taxicab Association waited 011 the Lord Lieutenant, to protest against the introduction of motor cabs, Mr. Fitid, M.P., declared that tho Irish jaunting-car was a distinctive featuro of Irish life, and that all visitors to Dublin wished to drive in a jaunting-car. Some foreigners when in these cars even supposed that they were in an aeroplane. The Irish car suited Dublin and the people seemed to like it.
The High Sheriff of Dublin stated that the introduction of motor cabs would mean an addition of 1600 to the unemployed. Lord Aberdeen, in reply, said that any influence lie could exert would be in the direction of retarding any' such introduction, which would dislocate present industry and business.
