$100,000 Spent on a Coach. Originally costing more than $5,000, tho conch of the lord mayor of Lonf'in, still used In tho annual procession, has probably hnd more money expended upon it than any hoi so-drawn vehlclo In the world. It Is nearly 150 rs old mid hi that tlmo mo-e than $U0,- l 000 has been spent In refurnishing It for the bole occasion when It Is mndoHj use of each "ear. C A more modern conch could bo had ' G for tho sum of flvo ) ears' repairs, but I ft a new conch would nover seem thoj same to tho London public, who llnu , Q tho Strand on tho occasion of thq i November parade. It Is probabla that tho lord mayor of a century henco will rldo In o snmo equipage, though llko tho Irishman's knlfo, It has been repaired so often that practically nothing of tho orlslnal coach remains.
