To the Editor of the Nortn-Cuixa Dairy New Sin,—The question of tram sections and fares and which class one should travel in is at present a leading topic and I'am sure that the Tramway Com-will feel gratefal for any suggestion and criticisms that may sid them in solving the knotty problems.
Length of Sections:—By all means leave them as they are at present. What does it matter that the section Old Shanghai Clab to Astor House is shorter than from either of those places: to Defence Creek If I am not mistaken, the greater trafic is over the longer section. Therefore give us " long ran for our money" where 80 much of it is spent.
First and Second Class Fares.—
Leave them slone. If I find that the second class native passengers are likely, a8 ig often the case, to be an annoy-soce—most unwittingly, for they consist of a very hard: ing close bound to, or from, their work and their dress and manners may offend our delicate western susceptibilities—I can certainly bay ticket for the class by which your correspondent "Outspoken (each @ superior man) travels.

At present if I want to get books (7) from the Club I must drop off the: car on my way to or from the office and must boy another ticket to finish my jonrney—perhaps I want to visit shop, or some thing of the kind. Yes, Tet me have a season ticket at once.

My only wonder is that he can lower himeelf by travelling in a tramcar at all; why on earth does he not boy—he seems to have plenty' of money—an up-to-date flying machine built for one Personally, I saw three days ago an Acting Consul paying his modest second-class fare in coppers, of which he bad a fair supply, and hanging, awaying, from strap was s nasty painter with horrid dry paint all over his clothes; almost rubbing the A. C.'s knees However, I have imposed on your valuable space quite enough and trast that you may be able to insert this where all who ran may read.
