A HOAX.
During Saturday night the principal posting places in
the town were covered with placards, announcing that
the " first experimental trip by Stevenson'a newly in-
vented powerful locomotive propeller the Hercules (with-
out the aid of steam), from London to Cheltenham and
back," would take place " on Sunday, Nov. 16, to leave
Paddington at 2 P.M." The bill also stated that in con-
sequence of " this being the first experimental trip,"
passengers would " be taken at the following fares to
Cheltenham and back; first class, 55.; second ditto, 35."
—that tickets would be transferable—that no luggage
would be allowed—and that no stoppages would occur
at intermediate stations." To this was appended,
" London, Nov. 12, 1851," and the equivocal imprint,
"S. Johnson, printer, Smithfield." Of course nothing
could be more aceeptable to the lovers of the marvel-
lous, and accordingly, between five and six o'clock last
night, some 200 or 300 persons congregated at the
Great Western station. As the time slipped along the
numbers increased, and the people waited patiently for
the appearance of the " propeller," and its living freight,
but they were doomed to disappointment. All at once
some one suggested that the thing was a hoax; this was
taken up by many others, and coupled with the fact of
the station authorities knowing nothing of the matter,
induced the great majority forthwith to depart. A few of
the more sanguine, however, still lingered behind until
they were fully tired out; and then had to follow the
example of the others, with the reflection that a " ne'er-
do-well" had successfully played off some of his mis-
chievous propensities at their expense‘—Cheltenhain
Journal.
