the HORSE RAILROAD.
Managers and Employees at Dinner
at the Prebie House.

The Horse Railroad Company, employers
and employed, sat down to the bountifully
spread tables at the Preble House last even
ing, at little after o'clock. A most excel
lent menu was served, the consideration of
which occupied an hour and quarter, after
which IL. j. Libby, Esq spoke few words
expressive of the good will of the company
TO its employees, and called on Hon. G. F.
Libby, who said that he had always been SO
accustomed to obey the orders of the presi-
dent that even when he called upon him to
make speech he hardly knew how to say
no. And in the present instance" Mr..
Libby said, 81 have no desire to do So" Mr..
Libby continued by saying that good I'M
Outstanding between employers and en-
ployed was essential to the best interests OF
the road; that the soldiers in the ranks are
as important as the generals, and that the
same thing is true of business corporation.
The success of the Portland Horse Railroad
has been due as much to the faithfulness OF
tie men and their pride to make it a success,
as to the directors and managers. Mr.. Lib
by recalled the old days of the road, and
compared them with the present. At the
present time it is one of the best equipped in
the country. Mr.. Libby spoke of running
the cars on wheels in the winter, and said
that, although nature seemed to have de-
creed against it in this climate, he thought it
was good policy. He said that it had been
an advantage to the city to have the streets
kept open. In addition to the cooperation
of the men, Mr. Libby said that no small
part of the success of the road had been due
to the ability and efficiency of the general
manager, Mr.. Newman.
Mr.. Libby'5 remarks were received with
applause, and after him Street Commissioner
Staples was called upon and responded
briefly.
Mr. Newman was called upon and said
that he was able more than anyone else to
appreciate the good will and hearty cooper
alton of the men and he wished to thank
them, as well as the directors, for their as
sistance to him in his work.
Mr. Garland, acted as POSTMASTER, and
called upon Mr.. Fred Berry, clerk at the
Office. Mr.. Berry said that what he had to
say would be to enc man and in a few APP
propriate remarks he presented, in behalf
Of the employees Of the road, an elegant
gold watch and chain with an Odd Fellows
charm to General Manager Newman. The
applause following Mr.. Berry's speech rat
tied the dishes on the tables.
1.-The watch was from Carter Bros, and on
the inside of the case was the inscription:
4. A. NEWMAN,
Presented by the
Employees of the p. r. r.
Mr.. Newman was surprised but found
words to express thanks for the gift and ap
probation for the spirit in which it was
given.
The other speakers were Mr.. III. NJ. Hart,
Mr.. Jordan, Mr.. Hovey, Mr.. Jas. Libby,
Mr.. Dutsed and Mr.. Conway. Others were

the different rooms was blstered and the
shed, which was the starting place of one
fame, was practically destroyed. The house
is owned by Captain Benjamin Cushing of
