At the RaiIread shops.

At the shops of the Consolidated road in
 this city five new combination cars are al
 most ready to go into the paint shop. They are 57 feet long. The old cars were 40 feet long.
 A writer in the Bridgeport Farmer rightly compliments MT. Denver of the car shops and says: "A striking feature to the Farmer writer was MT. Denver's knowledge of com plement color. It was hardly expected that his knowledge in addition to the study of railroad mechanism could have such a deli cate conception of the artistic and the beau tifu1, but his enthusiastic description and ex- hibition of harmony in color proves him to be an artist. Entering one of the bran new cars that stands with plenty more in the finishing shops, NIT. Denver said: sJust look here, see these up per windows of pale amber tint and then the light tracings of flowers and birds. Look at the golden plush on the back of the seats, the quiet tone of the carpet, the polished ma hogany wood work. Now, stand here at the rear, and when the sun strikes those upper windows we get 8 delicious old-gold tint The whole body of the car is filled with har- mony of color that is actually refreshing Now step to the forward end of the car and look back The red plush of the seats meets the eye and the scene is changed into a warmer tone." The Farmer man said: "Yes; but do you think the drunken bummers who ride up on the eight o'clock accommodation train out of New York appreciate these tints?'' MT. Denver laughed and said: ''Oh, we'll, we can't help that. They pay their fare" Next he unlocked the presidents car, saying: 'Now, then, I want you to look at this carpet. It's fancy of my own. It's white, with pale blue predomina4ing, and the chairs are covered with linen harmonizing with the at mosphere of the carpet Now: what do you get! Why you get cool. Don't you see how very cool it is?" It certainly was, and the Farmer man thought what a big head MT. Denver had to invent 8 car that could cool off the directors after they had a meeting on the Parallel road possibility. MT. Denver then exhibited a lot of glass studies in his office. The com oination of the colors and the conventional designs were very beautiful, and illustrated that gentleman's thorough knowledge and color combinations so much in vogue with the present day-day style of decoration"
