ACCIDENT on THE MOUNT WASHINGTON RAIL
RoAD.-On Thursday of last week the rear driving
wheel of an engine on the Mount Washington
railroad was broken while the train was making
the ascent. An account of the accident says: The
break in the wheel was instantly discovered, and
the ratchet-brake on the forward driving shaft of
the engine Immediately applied, which stopped
the train instantly. All Of the seats in the car
were filled and a number of passengers were oc-
cupying chairs on the baggage car in the rear of
the engine. There were about seventy passengers
ON the train, and only few were aware that an
accident had occurred until after the engine had
stopped. The engine was so securely held by the
ratchet-brake, that it moved backward, down the
mountain, less than four inches This accident
fully demonstrated the fact that the road is care
fully managed and not the slightest accident can
occur without being detected at once, and injury
to passengers prevented. This is the eleventh
season since the road began business, and during
the time it has carried over one hundred thousand
passengers, not one of whom has been injured

feel proud of her one regiment of citizen militia.
Certainly no more sodierly body of men were
ever mustered than those at Burlington last week
They were finely equipped, exceedingly courteous,
and well behaved and were well endowed with all
those qualities which go To make upa good soldier
Their camp ground was located about mile south
of the city, in a very favorable location Both
officers and men seemed to vie with each other as
to who should best perform their duty, and the
result was that the muster was of great benefit to
both. We repeat that Vermont has every reason

Prospect Park Races.


wednesday was the last day Of the races, and
the trot was largely attended, at least one thou.
sand people being present on the ground in the
afternoon. With one exception the races went
off without friction or disturbance In the first
heat OF the " three-minute race, the leading
horse, Gray Friar, collided with an intoxicated
person who was crossing the track Immediately
in front Of the several horses when they had
reached the first quarter. This capszed three OF
the sulkies and one horse. Volunteer Girl started
directly across the ground through the crowd of
teams and people, creating the greatest consterna-
ton Fortunately the only damage from the ac-
cident was received by Joseph Persons of Kent
Corner, the man whoattempted to cross the track,
and one of the drivers. As will be seen by the
subjoined summary, only four horses out of nine
starting came in during the heat. In the third
heat of the two-thirty-eight race, Abby p
made a bad break, striking her near forward leg,
cutting it badly, and rendering her quite lame,
though she succeeded in taking second money.
The races were universally conceded to be the
best ever held on the ground.
