A “BUGGY" IN KING WILLIAM STREET, ADELAIDE. Here is represented the principal street in the Capital of South Australia. For the most part, save the breadth of the street, there is little to distinguish the Australian view from one taken in a town of similar importance in the Old Country. The familiar tram, the familiar bicycle, are there, but the smart American " buggy " with its light harness and fine wheels is more often to be seen in Adelaide than in London or Liverpool. The two tall buildings with towers to the right and left of the picture are respectively the General Post Office and the Town Hall. (Page 4.)
