HORSES IN SYDNEY

REAPPEARANCE IN STREETS. BUGGIES AND SULKIES IN USE. More horses are appearing In tho suburbs of Sydney and even in city streets. There has been no sweeping change} the motor still- reigns as the autocrat of traffic in Sydney. The horse, however, is participating to a greater extent than a year*ago. There are seen ancient vehicles of the buggy and sulky types, and occasionally a brake or drag —words unknown to young people which will be remembered by their fathers or grandfathers, who often travelled in such vehicles to races or picnics. Enthusiastic supporters of the horse declare that he will soon be back in large numbers, and they give thanks that horse breeders were not frightened out of business. Drivers of the few antiquated han- om cabs still seen about the streets, says a correspondent, may take heart of grace and dream of a time when there will be many hansoms and victorias or broughams reminiscent of bygone times. .Some persons yearn for the horse on the ground that he would provide employ - "ent, but it is pointed out that if carried its logical argument would lead to the scrapping of all machinery so that everybody might be in work.
