SUCCESSFUL TRIALS ON THE NINTH AVENUE Ell
EvATED ROAD-A PUBLIC EXHIBITION


On Monday night the Daft Electric Motor will

on the Nnth-ave. road. series of experiments
were made to see what It capable OF doing. The
original experiments made last year were with
motor of seventy-ive horse power. 1t WAS found
that this would successfully draw loaded cars but
was not strong enough for the ordinary loads OF the
elevated trains. The first motor the most power
full one that had been built at that time for
such purposes, and Mir. Daft. after finding its lima
lions, constructed the motor of 125 horse power.
This occupies small cab the head of the train, and
the motor and tho cab combined have weight Of
about ten tons. The motor receives electric cur
rent from a heavy wire which along the track
from central station in Fifteenth-st. The current
when taken up sets the machinery in motion, and the
car Is moved In either direction by the action of
electric brake is also attached and operates
on tho train from the cab. The circuit of the route
on the Ninth ave road is nearly five miles in length.
and while the motor was being constructed MI DAT,
also perfected the system by which the current is

IN FAVOR OF THE QUAKER BRIDGE DAM.

Chief Engineer Alphonse Fteley, Of the New AQuc-
duct returned from Boston yesterday and Immediately
entered upon his duties after taking tbs usual oath
Of office before notary public. MI Fteley said that
bis predecessor, Consulting Engineer Church. had
rectly stated his position, IN an interview published
in The Tribune yesterday, in relation to the Quaker
Bridge Dam. I" ! have taken pains TO acquant my
construction, but / have found nothing which at
all shakes my faith in the project. 1t is good plan,
think, for the commissioners to appropriate money
to assist in getting expert testimony against tho
plan II there is any Of sufficient weight be worthy
Of consideration, for the purpose of throwing all
the light possible upon the subject is laudablc but
do not apprehend that its opponents will be able
to bring forward anything that will change the
opinions of engineers generally as to the necessity
and practicabify OF the construction. My only
greet is that this work OF education not gone
through with four years ago, and we might have tho
Quaker Bridge Dam almost ready for use.'

FAST TROTTING AGAINST TINE.
GOVERNOR HILL FAILS TO LOWER STEVE. MAX
WELLS TWO MILE RECORD

There was exciting race against time at the
Driving Club yesterday afternoon. Johnny Murphy
had bet $3.50 with John Barry OF the Romantic Hotel
that he could beat Steve Maxwes two-mile record in
harness, Of 4:4S 1-o, with Governor Hill. The match
set down for November 90. and though II was In
tensey cold with biting wind, Murphy felt confident
Of winning and decided to make the attempt. Messrs
David Bonner, W. f. Parsons, jr. and Matthew Riley
were selected Judges, and at about half past
O'Clock Murphy brought the trotter out and gave him
. warming up quarter in 80 12 seconds 1t was Muir
phys purpose TO 60 the first mile in 2:22 and TO
finish at about the same rate To make sure Of the
proper rating he carried watch in his hand.
On the FIRST score he nodded for the word, with Gov
Hill going fast and level The first quarter
travelled In SO seconds, and the half mile in :07
everybody was surprised TO see the horse sent so
rapidly, and there still greater establishment
when he made the first mile in o:1s. This terrific
flight had the effect Of making the horse Quit so badly
that he could only trot the second mile in IA 12,
making the time for the two miles 80 1-2 Murphy
said after the race that he had carried timer
BEFORE and he unable TO use II so that he could
rate the quarters. He feels confident that had he
lied on his own ability to Judge the time he could have
won easily.
1t was TIE general opinion that Governor HIPS
mile In 2 Us was equal 10 2:14 or 2:I5 In warm
weather. and that the time for the miles was as
good Maxwel's performance. which was done iu
