Another very interesting exhibit is the old
locom otive Samson" cne OF the first engines
ever introduced into America. This engiDo
was built in 1888, at New Sheldon, Durham,
England. and brought to this country about
the same time. 1t was used in the Albion
coal mine. near Stellarton, Nova Scotia, until
few years ago. Accompanying the loco
motive is the passenger car. 1t is clumsy
affair, containing two seats, with room for
about four or five passengers. The doors
open on the sides, the same as many English
coaches Of, to-day. The engine and coach
are in O pretty fair state of preservation.
The tender in those days went ahead of the
locomotive, while the engineer stood on the
rear. The engine is q standard gauge, in
verted direct-acting, with four-foot drivers.
Two other ancient locomotives are also
among the exhibits, the "Albion" and "Old
Ironsides." Both Of these are more primitive
in their construction than the samson,
and are not quite 80 large.
The original John Bull is standing on
the New York Central tracks, and the De
Witt Clinton. with its historic train of
coaches, Is also here in It's counterfeit.
One ofthe gigantic exhibits In the south
end Of this Transportation Building Is the
model OF the great 125-ton steam hammer of
the Bethlehem penn Iron Works. The
original hammer weighs 1886 tons. The
model is of staff and wood. 1t is exhibited
here because the Bethlehem hammer forges
steamship shafts and cranks, as we'll as guns
and armor plates. 1t is shaped like letter
A. Its highest point stands ninety feet
above the floor line. and is thirty-eight feet
wlde The supports are each composed OF
two parts, the lower ones weighing seventy
one tons each, and tbs upper ones forty
eight tons each. The bethlehem hammer is
one-quarter larger than the 1OO-ton hammer
used in an Italian dockyard.
The beautiful exhibit Of the New York
Central Railroad which includes complete
and luxurious trains and a model railroad
station. is out Of doors. 1t is admired by
tens of thousands of visitors daily.
In the southern section of the Annex there
are fine displays by the Philadelphia &
Reading, the Old Colony, and tho Chicago u
Northwestern Railroads. The latter eHhib-

The marine exhibit OF America is good; l
can but briefly allude to it. Perhaps the
most striking thing is the section OF an At
lantic liner, showing the interior arrange
menty it is so realistic that it fairly makes
you seasick. Here is an exquisite model OF
the Puritan and here are steam and electric
launches, dories, schooners and racing
Yachts until the wearied vision can no longer
contain them.

The Golden Door Of the Transportation
edifice is celebrated-just as black sheep is
because 1t Is 80 different from it's fellows.
This palace is unlike all the others in color
and general design. 1t is nearly thousand
feet long, and one-quarter as wide, and is
surmounted by cupola 165 feet high, in
which eight elevators are constantly run

It's grand portal, or s'Golden Door," faces
the lagoon and the shores OF "Wooded ISL

arches entirely overlaid with gold leaf. But
it's general effect is gorgeous and not har-
monious. Along the stairways which lead
from the entrance are typical statues-a

Watt, the apostles Of Progress, the Aristoc-
racy Of Invention.

Reports received from all the fruit growing
sections indicate that the crop prospects in
New England were exceedingly bright up TO
July 1. Peaches will probably give the larg-
est yield in years. Apples are doing fairly
well. In Maine, New Hampshire and Yer

has been total failure.
