especial supervision OF Mr.. MIl.on SIS

Central Railroad Mr. Sessions has no
superior in this department., as the
wur turned ont by him Will abundan,-

Tins car Is certainly the finest pas
sengcr car, destined Tor common use,
winch we have seen. 1t has what is
called an O. G. roof, altho .gh varying
somewhat from tie common .. G.
roofs, and is from design ma az by Mr..
henry Sessions, Foreman of Ca Shop.
Thc wood work inside Is magnificent
Each side o the windows ere tllted col

between the columns is of back walnut
inlaid with chestnut, with Il GIT Dor

the entire length OF ,he cars, on Ca.

each Il lie, in an oval ir me of two feet

are two finely executed oil paintings

We confess that weare perfectly aware
haw inadequate our description OF tn S
car is, for it is almost impossible TO
convey an idea CT it. beauty IN met
words; but it needs Il close personal in
spect.on 10 appreciate its full beauty.
Mr. Sessions is bu .lding anoths - car
similar TO this one. An eIeglnt ) eep-
ing car is also under process o. construc-
ii II, sixty feet in length, having four
teen full sections or 70 sieep.ng bert rs.
This has six wheel trucks.
Tne immense car shop is luerally alive
with workmen, engaged on every con-
ceivab.e part of these cars. and, to the
uninitia ell, confusion seems TO reign
but under the careful and judlcious
IN lnagem -ment of Mr.. Sessions 1t is not
onl, perfect order, but aacA workman
i as unit.
Our short visit was rendered doubly
pleasant by the courtesy extended to us
~ -Ir. Sessions, who w carried not at our
questions; but his best speakers are the
III lgniticent cars which he is placing
upon the Central road, for the i, Will tes-
ny OF Themselves.
