We reproduce here the transfer check recently adopted l)ythe Cincinnati Street Railway Conipau)-.

By printing the names of the 35 lines acrossfour columns headed X, S, E, W, respectivel)-, one punchmark is made to indicate the line and the direction. Thesecond indicates the dav of the month and the portion of the. day according as it is in the black or the light portion of thedate figure, and the third the hour. Thus, the check shownis good on the Vine street cable line, north bound, at 6:20p. m. on the 19th of the month. The month is denoted liythe color of the body of the ticket. These are good onlvat the point where the line issuing the transfer intersects tlieline to which it is given. A new regulation has also beenadopted by which the passenger is now given three minutesafter paying his fare in which to demand a transfer insteadof being re(|uired to do so at once. OBITUARY.
