The running Of this immense train from Boston
10 New.York deserves especial notice, as an ex'
trRordinary feat in railroad work. It was the first
instance in this country OF the transportation OF
troop OF hundred horsemen, all ready for the
field for anything like the distance. Mr. Logis is
an old hard on these roads, and succeeded in get
ting through In good time, and to the entra salts
faction OF his company. 1t was feared that the
locomotive would give out in the attempt to drag
the long train around the sharp curve 1t Harlem
Bridge but there was no difficulty Mr. Wyman,
the conductor of the New Haven Road, had got
poweriu! engine mo. 1877 under the charge OF En-.
gineer Roach, and thus the matter vas made
sure thing.
Tile Lancers enjoyed the trip finely. Having
the cara all to Themselves, they did what seemed
good, and kept up continual chorus OF mirth and
mischief, net forgetting tho decorum due to their
la6y guests or to themselves aa gentlemen
The National Lancers were organized in 1886,
and very COON became one OF the mont popular
troops in New.England. Their uniform consists
Of blue pants with broad red stripe, rad coats
with gold lace trimming, the skirts turned up
with blue, and heavy Dragon sword They we're
furniahed with full camp equipage The Lanoers
are lplendid body OF men, nearly all ofthem con-
siderably above the ordinary weight, ard when in
lie saddle are perfect terror to any who have
cause to expect their onset. Shortly after their
organization, the great BFoadst. Riot occurred,
between the Irish and tho frenen1 and the L an-
cers were called upon TO suppress she disturbance
