Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1880-10-09
Men and Horses.

The 156-hOur race between men and
horses. at Chicago. last week, ended in
a victory for man. Byrne, new pc
scored 542 miles as his six-day record.
and stopped Saturday with a score of
57S miles. The leading horse finished
ten miles behind him. The Chicago pa
pers call the contest a ''great" one. of
course, but without finding fault with
that, it may be said that they are quite
in error in describing it rs "the first of
the kind ever given" Last October
there was similaT contest in San Fran
cisco, but then horse won. with six
day record of $50 miles. However. the
list of such contests believe there
have been others-is happily, brief
one, and. stepping outside of it, there
are authentic records of remarkable
rides which are far more interesting
than such objectless displays of grim
endurance rs the Chicago performance.
In 1877 General J. c. Fremont and two
companions covered 800 miles across a
roadless and mountainous country in
l5S hours, only 100 of which were spent
in the saddle. of course they had
frequent change of horses, those not I'M
der saddle being driven ahead and las
seed when wanted. This is perhaps the
most remarkable horseback ride on au-
thentic record. Two or three years ago
nine Italian officers undertook ride of
$40 miles to see what was the extreme
performance which might be expectedof
ordinary horses in war. Only three
finished the distance, and they required
1913 hours for the task. Some time
before this another Italian officer rode
$50 Italian miles in ten DAYS on single
horse. From Vienna to Paris is 800
miles as the crow flies. Prince de Linge
once covered the road between the two
cities in six DAYS, but with RELAYS of
horses. Count de Maintenay is said to
have done it in less time on a single
roadster. He was then the bearer of
of the consent of the Emperor of Austria
to the marriage of Napoleon and Marie
Louise, and he was rewarded for his
speed with a jeweled snutf-box, 6.000f.,
and the horse which carried him so
well. 1t is said that he rode the whole
way without dismourtirg. but that is
scarcely credible. The conditions are
so different that it is impossible TO
compare these feats with those of last
week at Chicago, but it seems reason
ably certain that neither on horseback
nor on foot can the rate of 100 miles be
kept up for more than five DAYS, and
that there are men who can do the
distance at least as quickly without a
horse as with one.-N Y. Times.

which would propel itself by an In.
genious band connection to both pairs
of wheels, or to stern propeller. The
sole and considerable novelty about it.
even then, was that it was a high-pres.
sure engine. and one of the first of the
kind. On the other hand, it would be
hard to name single essential of the
modern locomotive which was not en-
bodied in the Rocket of 1929, and.
though there have been numberless i'm
provements in detail since then, there
has not beehive believe the assertion
needs no qualifications single new
principle applied to locomotion since
Stephenson's day, excepting only an
engine now building, and which mas not
yet had its trial trip. Nevertheless. it
is only the rudest justice to call either
Stephenson the inventor of the lOcomO-
tive or Fulton the inventor of the marine
engine. Nothing can excuse it except
the popular demand. which concerns
itself very little with niceties of detail,
that the honor shall be settled
somewhere. The truth is, and it
is now very easy to see, that after the
discovery of the power of steam its
application to use on both land and wa
ter was only question of time, and even
Watt, though he never worked out his
idea, added to his specification caveat
as to this idea. From that time down
there were endless essays, each one an
improvement on the other, so that land
and marine engines are both growth.
ana no one man can give to the world
such an enormous gift. Thus, while
it may be quite true, as it doubtless is.
that Oliver Evans, three-quarters of q
century ago, planned. in his minds
eye, double-track railroad, sleeping
cars, and speed equal to a pigeons
flight, the world will, nevertheless.
probably continue to honor Fulton and
Stephenson, next to Watt, as the hui

Who Invented the Steam. Engine!

To what man and to what Nation is
the world indebted for the invention of
the locomotive engine? The Phiiaiet-
IDlia North american claims that honor
for the little-known name of Oliver
Evans, of that city, and courteously
corrects the Times for a recent incl
dental allusion to the invention as hav-
ing its origin in England, and being
only afterward brought to higher per-
lection in the United States than it has
elsewhere reached. We have not at
hand that number of the North Amer-
lean. printed in 1878. in which Evans
claims are set cut at length, but upon
investigation of other authorities it APP
pears clear that sufficient credit has not
been given to the candidate for Steven
sons or Trevellick's and Vivian's hon.
ors. Thus it is beyond a question that
from Maryland for steam carriages on
common roads. and he thereafter de-
veloped his idea until his Oruktor Am
phibolos was complete. Even now it is
difficult to see what he could then
have added to it. 1t would, and did.
move itself on land and water. and
when not engaged in propelling itself,
the engine would saw wood or stone,
grind plaster. etc. Another such en-
gine-of-all-work has probably never
been in existence before or since.
Thus far it is agreeable to yield to
patriotic impulse, and follow the North
american in claiming recognition for a
neglected countryman. But it only
needs hasty comparison of the Am
phibolos with the Rocket to demon
strate how untenable is the assertion
that Evans invented the modern loco
motive. His machine was a most cum
brous affair. 1t resembled nothing so
much as fiat-bottomed scow. car

inder, working-beam and fly-wheel
