A CURIOSITY rarely noticed by visit
ors, on recount of its position in an out
of-the-way part of the grounds, is tn
h first locomotive and passenger trail
l run on the Pennsylvania Railroad. ]
c is still serviceable and made the ru,
p from Altoona, where it has been lai
o up for many years, to this city. Th
cars are small and low, with window
so narrow that passengers were in n
danger of getting hurt by thrustin
their heads out. The engine has II
cab, but the projecting roof Of the con
bined tender and baggage car partl
shelters the engineer. The cow-catche
G of the machine appears to have bee
intended literally to catch the intrusiv
animal and not to throw her from til
track.

, of the grounds, and so far remove
from the currents of travel that it
probably not seen by one visitor in ter
: is the very novel and interesting exhil
: it made by the publishers of Forest an
% Stream. 1t is called the "Hunter'
Camp" and is perfect representatio
Z of the externals of the life of the forei
and trout-stream The thick foliage {
u the trees in the cool, deep valley wher
i the hunters hut of logs stands, tn
u noisy stream and waterfall in from
II the still pool in which float two India
u canoes, the guns, fishing-rods, blank
y cts, cooking utensils, traps, and trophie
I of the chase within the hut, all help t
q make the illusion perfect, and it wOul
not be hard to imagine that n ha
been suddenly transported from tn
bustling, exciting scenes of the Exhib
ton to some nook in the heart of tn
