DUMMY ENGINES ON CITY PASSENGER
RAILwAYs-A letter from New York sage:
We shall probably have sdummy" engines
running on all the city railroads before long,
in place Of that roble animal, the horse. a
dummy was placed on the Second avenue on
Tu, sday afternoon masking the trip from the
corner of Fol ~ third street and Second avenu ne
to Harlem aud back again in manner hlghty
satisfactory to q large number ofinvited guests.
The advantage the dummy Is SAID to have over
the horse is that It can do more work at one
half the expense-a consideration which Is
pretty sure eventually TO overcome about the
only objection 70 i-that 1t is not 80 easily con-
trolled as the horse.
One of the Pittsburg papers remarks:
The managers OF the East Liberty RaiiWay

my engine upon their road, and Tor some days
