One of the best built and handsomely furnished 'buses that has yet been turned out of a local factory started service to day for Messrs Pullan and Armitage in the Parnoll-Auckland circuit. It is from tba well known works of Messrs Cousins and Atkins, Elliott-street, and is one of their deservedly popular Jubilee 'buses, a design of their own and of which the present) bus is the thirteenth specimen that has been made. It combines, however, many other ingenious, and patented con trivances which will undoubtedly add1 greatly to the' comfort of the travel ling .community. From a spectator's point of view the 'bus has a most cbasfca and artistic appearance, every effort] having apparently been made to produce a first-class article. It "speaks well for the resources and ability of the builders that) they have been ablo to manufacture every portion of the 'bus at their own. works, and with one exception the work has been done entirely by workmen who have served their time with the makers. The 'bus has passenger accommo dation for 18, and is for either two or three horses abreast. It is double-seated in front, and one of the conveniences will be the immunity of the passengers from,any roof drip. There is a gutter on the roof and a waste pipe to the ground carries off the water. Several other of the maker's patents ore introduced, but want of space precludes their individual mention. The 'bus was greatly admired by the public on its initial trip, and tho general opinion was that it reflects the greatest) praise on the builders.
