The motor bus traMe between Tsangchow and Tientsin, which was doing a roaring business by carrying passengers, packed like sardines, at 4 fare of one dollar each, has been badly hit by the enterprise of the Tientsin-Pukow Railway in putting on a cheap daily train, running tween the cities, on which one ma: travel for 95 cents. This is proving fan enormous success, despite the fact that some motor cars of an antediluvian type are offering travellers to do the trip for 60 cents per head—a rale which surely cannot cover the expense of petrol. The ordinary railway fare, third class, is $1.85.
