On Sabbath morning Rev. C. j. Burkert
read portions of the church discipline, in

bers of the church.
We have been little slow In reporting
the race between Jacob Kershner and Har-
ry Stewart, as to which could drive the
street car the greatest number of days
without rest, as we wanted to do justice
to both gentlemen and therefore get at the
facts in the case. Kershner had a start of
two days and drove l25 days, until his car
was taken of. owing to dull times, as the
shops we're about shut down and travel
light, but he went in the barn and worked
right along without loss of time. Stewart
drove 126 days and then laid off a day.
Kershner claims the race because his car
was taken off, for which he was not to
blame, and he worked in the barn without
losing time, which was the nearest that he
could come to going ahead. Stewart claims
it because he drove the greatest number of
days without counting anything else. We
leave our readers to decide which has 1t.
beaten the records of oil other drivers In the
city since the line was started, and they
have certainly manifested a remarkable
gift of continuance orealize how hard
this was one must recollect that they work
sixteen hours day, and some days more,
and seven days q week, with not enough
time to properly eat their meals and no rest
at all except when they sleep, and scarcely
time for that. They make 1e round trips
day. or "a miles daily, making q total of
s 064 miles for Stewart and 1885 miles for
Kershner, TO which he adds his work in the
barn after being taken of. Both gentle
men are entitled to credit for their pluck
and we challeng any other city to beat
their record. Indeed. we would like to hear
through the papers II this has been beaten
anywhere.
