the Capitol This was the beginning of street
ralroading in this city. Since then our road
has been extended until it now embraces
eighteen miles of track, affording accommodate
ton 10 the people of the District Of Columbia
never before enjoyed by them.
The enterprise has been success, and for
this, gentlemen, we are, TO great extent, in
debted 10 you. Although the public do daily
complain of many of you, yet / know your
trials and difficulties, and am willing to give
you the credit to which think you are justly
entitled.
OF the nine gentlemen who ran the first cars
in the streets of this city, five are yet in the
employ OF the company, and, am happy to
say, perform their duties satisfactorily
Gentlemen, you certainly do not expect me
at this late hour 10 make any extended remarks.
i thank you for this compliment to the COM

10 celebrate many anniversaries of the opening
of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad.

them one who had once robbed him. and inst
as the train moved off he thrust his fist in the
