Steam WAGONS.

In a recent number of the Bul-
ietin is an account of the trial in
Wisconsin of Il steam locomotive
for common roads. a premium of
S20,0 was offered by the Legisla-
ture of that State, and the only one
entered for the prize was the one
in question. A trip of about 200
miles was made at the average
speed of about six miles an hour,
with a pretty heavy freight. One
mile was made in about four min
utes. The kind of road travelled
and its condition were not men,
toned, but the country about
Milwaukee is level, and, unless in
Winter, the roads are hard. Reading
the above, / am reminded of the
attempt of our friends, the Gas.
kills, to introduce steam wagon
between Fort Yuma and the noun
tains; and also of a stupendous fail
ure among the many successes of the
irrepressible General Banning to
do the same thing between his
town of Wilmington and Los An
geles in ante-bellum times. At
great expense the General procured
the right and got the ponderous-
looking locomotive safely landed.
After delays, and practice by itself
cn the hard ground, a string of
freight wagons was attached, and
freighting without mules and
horses as motive power was begun.
All the steam possible was got
up and the train started,
but that was all. Nothing
in the annals of slowness ever sur.
passed it. AS soon as q muddy or
sandy spot was reached by the
engine, the driving wheels would
go with lightning speed, but the
train didn't move. 1t was said that
the same engine, or one like it, per-
formed wonders in freighting in
England; but it was an expensive
failure about Wilmington. The
Gaskills are ingenious. persevering
and go-ahead men, but can they get
up driving wheels which will not
do the same thing as the above
English pattern, and can they con-
struct boilers In such manner
that, whether the surface is o plain
or not, the water can be kept level,
so that an explosion is not liable?

before a carriage. They are called
" park horses" because they are adapted
for this form of driving. They must be
full sixteen hands high Bay is pre-
ferred, but other colors are in demand.
These park teams" as the name I'M
plies, are for driving in the park, where
every afternoon they may be seen by the
hundreds pranc;ng along with lofty step
and snowy style. They are not wanted
for speed but for display. Fast driving
is prohibited in the park, but out on the
/" road beyond the park the t%rotters
have it all to themselves. In New York
the horses of the most fashionable turn
outs have their tails cut square off. 1t
is called the "English style" There
are two forms, one to cut the hair Just
below the bone, and the other to cut it
square of a little above the hooks,
Some of the most elegant teams are not
bObbed after this fashion, but veal their
tails as long as they chance to grow.
Doubtless the owners have more regard
Tor their comfort in fly time, or, perhaps,
they. like us, do not fancy this awkward
