Dancing to Music From Afar on.
Electrical Engineer.


An interesting and really notable
musical and vocal entertainment was
given recently from New York to very
large audiedc assembled at the Grand
Union hotel, Saratoga.
AS our readers viii conjecture, the
audience, which numbered at times no
less than 300 people, was brought en-
rapport with the performers by means of
"long distance telephone circuit run
ming distance of 18O miles from IS
Courtlandt street, New York to Saratoga.
From Cortlandt street circuit had been
run to the Madison Square Garden, and
the concert being given by the Strauss
orchestra was taken in alienation with
the other numbers of the programme,
which comprised selections by the long
distance orchestra, flute and cornet
solos, whistling song. and glees by
members of the technical staff, one of
whom also recited Tennyson's "Charge
of the Light Brigade" The orchestral
music was listened to at Saratoga by
means of sets of hand telephones, and
every note was heard distinctly even to
the applause of the audience of the audi
ence gathered at Madison Square. Some
of the songs and solos and the recitation
were heard all over the room at Saratoga
by means of single loud-speaking re-
ceiver provided with a large ftfnnel-
shaped resonator to mgnify the sound.
great delight was expressed by the
audience at Saratoga with the evening" s
entertainment, and the exhibition was
considered one of the best and most sue
cessful that has yet been given over the
long distance company's system.
A very novel end striking use was
made of this telephone concert by Mr..
A. s. Hibbard, who happened to be en-
tertaining number of his friends at his
residence in Morriston, N. j., the same
evening. Mr.. Hibbard's private tele-
phone line was connected at Cortlandt
street with the circuit running to Madi-
son Square Garden, and the strains of
the famous orchestra were heard SO
plainly in the house at Morristown that
dancing was carried on to the. accom-
paniment with perfect ease and comfort
by the guests there Assem- bled.
If some one had told Herr Strauss that
his orchestra was playing fol dancers
who were enjoying themselves at Nor
ristown, some twenty or thirty miles
have been received with sheer incred-
ulty, yet such was actually the case.
Two Strauss waltzes were enjoyed by
Mr. Hibbard's guests, and afterward
the orchestra at Courtlandt street was
switched in, and dancing was continued
by the music of the less ambitious band
of performers. =
We believe this is the first instance
recorded of the transmission of music by
telephone with sufficient volume and
clearness for dancing to be indulged in
by the listeners.

Rough Driving.

1t is pity some men could mo- be
made to endure some of the cruelties
they practice on their horses. If such a
brute could be hitched to wagon, with
his eyes blinded, a harsh bit in his
mouth, and another man behind him
with a rawhide whip, who, when he
wished him to start, gives him cut,
and if he does not increase his speed to
suit, gives him several, or yanks his jaws
with the reins with a force sufficient
nearly to break them. Such dose of
his own kind of treatment would un-
doubtedly teach him such lesson as he
would remember. 1t is a wrong and un-
reasonable way of starting a horse, says
the Harness Gdzttte. Common sense
should tell any one that a horse should
be started, urged forward and stopped
by the voice, and that resort to the whip
should never be had, unless absolutely
necessary. A horse then knows what is
required of him, and the annoying and
dangerous habit of suddenly starting
and jumping is avoided. A great ma
jority of the spavins, sprains and ring
bones, not to speak of the heaves, and
numerous other horse ailments, are
caused by such rough and thoughtless
driving,

rhe Latest from tho Portage Road.

From G. ]. Farley, who returned from
the Cascades last evening, we learn
Colonel Lowell was to commence the
The track from end to end will be nearly
a mile long. Double tracks will be laid
at each end 30 that the loading and un-
loading of cars at e ,ch end can go on at
the same time, thus doubling the capac-
ity of the work of one locomotive. Mr..
Farley thinks by this means they can
handle $50 tons of freight an hour, but
old railroad men shake their heads at
this estimate and say it cannot be done.
Be that as it may we have got to be
content. Major Handbury owns us and
the ground too and he won't let us have
any more; SO that's the end of it. We
hope the superintendent of construction
will see to it that standard gauge ties
will be laid so that if in the good provi-
dence of God the major should be re-
moved from bossing the distractions, we
might get permission to lay standard
to be imperative. Mr.. Farley says as
soon as the survey and profile is made
work will be pushed with all yigor. He
thinks the work can be finished in
seventy-tive days. This will run us in
to near the middle of August, and we
will be thankful if it is finished by the
1st of September.
1t is due. to Major Handbury to say
that he gave Mr.. Farley permission to
lodge his men in the government bunk
house free on the condition, of course,
that they comply with the rules. The
mayor also gave orders in presence of
the governor and treasurer Metchan
that all courtesies should be extended
to the state officials.
Mr.. Farley has full power to purchase
all necessary material and equipments,
and has orders from the commissioners
to complete the work as soon as possible
and he vows he will do SO. The wharf
boats will be built by contract and it is
believed that the 100000 will be sufi-
cient to build and equip narrow track
with good substantial track and rolling
stock
