THE THIRD-AVE. ROAD AND ELECTRICITY
CONSIDERING DIFFERENT SYSTEMS "A SUCCESSFUL
PROVIDENCE EXPERIMENT

PROVIDENCE EXPERIMENT.
Tho experts engaged by the Third Avenue Rail
road Company to examine the Bentley Knight
electrical railway system OF Providence submitted
their report yesterday to President Lyon. Tho road
they examined was one 800 feet long, built with
sharp grade OF one foot in twenty, and abrupt
curve Of forty five feet near the end Of the line.
One small open is operated by electric motor
Of twenty five horse power and 1900 pounds weight
attached TO the bottom of the car From this motor
the power applied to the axes Of the by gear
ing and side bars similar to those used on locomo
tives. In tube between tho rails is placed the
electrical conductor for the transmission OF the
rent to the from two n-horse power dynamos
at tho central station. Levers to cut of reverse
the current placed at each end Of the car. Ac'
cordng TO the report the motor performed its work
In entirely satisfactory manner. Tho car was
stopped and started at will and fulfilled oil the re-
quirements. But the experts say that moro power
than where the power Is applied directly by cables
horses Besides, the electrical system they think
lacks the advantage Of counterbalancing the
grades OF cable roads.
The expense OF electricity would be at least twenty
five per cent creator than that OF the cable. While
the Providence exhibition of one car is looked upon
as successful, the question Of how hundred loaded
could be operated Is still looked upon by the
examiners as unsettled. Agents OF electrical rail
road concerns from Hamburg and Berlin have been
here to urge the adoption Of their systems by the
Third Avenue Company, and 1t Is not unlikely that
President Lyon or some representative OF the com
pany will go TO Germany and France to inspect the
lines in operation there.

To Inc EdttOr or The Frt5Ens
SIR: One of the last acts Of Mr. Cleveland when Gov
ernor was to sign bill to put park at Corears Hook,
East River, which would necessitate wall that would
completely enclose the Hook and change the entire con-
formation of the shore at that point.
park is wanted the East Side it should not be
placed at the only point between Fifth and Montgomery
where deep draught vessels can be berthed Below
Jacksonst and far down Montgomeryst there is
close along the pier line Above Grandst
there is another which nearly as close being from
seventy hundred feet out extending as far as
Fifths Let the park be built to accommodate this con-
formation, not in the face of It, To place 1t between
Grand and Jackson sts understand 1t is now pro-
posed only take the only deep waterfront
In that vicinity which is reckless and injurious enough
there another objection at present the Hook creates

strong for vessels rounding the but relieves the Ice
