making better time than mile in minute
We stopped three minutes and twenty hit
seconds at Syracuse and changed 10 engine
No. S62, with Engineer Hogan in charge
We whirled the next $50 miles off in las
minutes, which is Wonde full, when it is re
marked that at Fairport we had TO stop
seven minutes and fifty seconds for not
box to be packed with waste. This stop is
included in our running time. When we
had to make this brief halt we had made
36l miles in 36l minutes, including stops at
at Albany and Syracuse; so you see that
we had really gone faster than mile min
ute all the way from New York to Fair
port.
when we dashed away for Buffalo we
had to make up for lost time. We reached
the East Buffalo tation, 436 32-l00 miles
from New York, in just 40 minutes De-
Quoting fourteen minutes and forty-four
seconds for stops, we ran the distance in
425 minutes and a seconds. Our time from
the Grand Central station to the Central
station in Buffalo was AS minutes in the
gross, or 44O miles IN 433 minutes and IL
seconds, with stop allowances deducted.
This made US run at the rate of 80 25- 100
miles au hour, without allowing for stops
MILE IN FoRTY-Two SECONDS.
THAT, of course, beats the worlds long
distance fast running record. But we also
established the short-distance record, as a
mile on the Eastern and mile on the West
ern division were both spun Off in forty two
seconds. Don't you think had right to

! Mr.. Webb's performance is unprecedent-
! ed. The fastest long distance running
time in America prior to Mr.. Weob's trip
was held by the North Shore road, which
run, in 1885, from Buffalo to Weehawken,
Az 6-lOO miles, in % minutes, making an
actual running time of fifty one miles an

The best English long distance record
was made on the Northwestern railroad. OF
England, in 1888, when train ran 400 miles
in 472 minutes, making an average time OF
so T. 1000 miles an hour.
The question now is, how long before Mr.
Gould and Mr.. Mcleod will write Mr..
