. The street railway review . urac to most of thecities of Mexico, and conveys a whole oluine of informa-tion regarding street railway management in our neighbor-ing republic. The Chihuahua Railway Companv, whichmav be taken as a fair illustration of the larger cities, for apopulation of 40, 000 has about twent) street cars, but only blanket-like zerape and wearing the high sugar loaf hatuniversally used beyond the Rio Grande, the street car driverof Mexico is as little like an American motorman as can beimagined.

The Mexicans are a <]uiet people not given to loudnoises on the street, and instead of shouting, the drivirsurge their donkeys on t)y a sharp hissing soinid. The bell, as a signal, is universally supplanted by the horn. . .Mexi-can Jehu, therefore, urges his galloping burros to greaterspeed by hissing at them and announces his approach byblowing what seems like a toy tin horn; wrap
