It is marvelous that more collisions
do not take place in the streets,
considering the immense number of
vehicles and the it -erne dolts speed
at which most of them 4re driven.
Horses are never allowedJ to gallop
in single or pair harries but they
are urged to go at the •vety fastest
pace which they can possibly reach
and as the horses in the private
sleighs are generally 6ne animals,
:with great speed, and the draught
a the sleigh is a mere nothinet e

police with fttrious driving : The
absence of accident is the more sur-

with all this tin.ong of :vehieles,
many of them driven at an Ap-
perently reckless speed, there is An 1

sleighs themselves are absolutely
noiseless, and the peWderead now

fect, The Enflieli method of driv-
ing a pair of horses with •
pole is now almost universal
ly used with the private, turn- 1
outs in St. Pethrsburg, although}
occasionallye in the sleigh of
some Stitunch uphigder of old Bus- i-
sian eustoms, two horses may be 1
seen driven in the native fashion,
that is, With one horse trotting in
the shafts and the other cantering -
alongside. This has an ugly and
lopsided appearance, but the same
system, as carried out in the troie
ka, Or three house sleigh, is stelking
and effective. Here the middle
• horse is in the shafts,land is never
allowed to lemak his trot, while
those on eieher side of in go at a
canter. The great pecalisnity, how-
ever, is that the outside horses go
with their heads upon one side.
They are trained by being kept itt the
stable With their heads, strapped
round to one shoulder, and by being
always driven so, to keep their heads
arched round so that their nostrils -
nearly touch their -outside shoulder.
Unnatural as the position is, they,
soon become aceuetomed to it, OA
it does not appear to detract frona
the speed. The effect, when t
he
horses are _good and the troika is,
driven .at full speed, is striking, an
not so unnatural 4Onld be im-
