the last two months. and which we
have noticed in our last two issues,
became so exciting last week that
the speeds were telegraphed to this
country, and on Friday the contest
eliminated in a run of $40 miles In 5l2
minutes by the West Coast line, this
line thus coming off victor. The train
left London at s O'Clock and arriced
In Aberdeen at 4.S2 the next morning |;
$40 miles In 5l2 minutes, which Is equal
to 63.2S miles an hour. The train was
run through from London to Carlisle,
2ssh miles, without n stop. and for a
distance of thirty-two miles south of
Carlisle the speed averaged seventy
four miles an hour. 1t Is probable
that the four cars which made up the
train weighed less than III tons. To
compare locomotives We must have full
details. weight OF train, etc. and the
profile of the whole line. The best
speed mentioned In the English report
thirty-twO miles at seventy-four miles
an hour falls considerably short of the
record made by the Camden and At
lantic on April q last. from Camden to
Atlantic City, N. ]. This Atlantic City
run was made by an engine with IS
inch driving wheels. If our American
editors who are inclined to feel cha
srined at these new English records
wish to compare mere speed figures
they should emphasize this perform
ance. The whole run of 5S,3 miles was
made In fOrty-five and three fourths
minutes. equal to 1916 miles an hour;
and n distance of 1873 miles was COW
cred in thirty-seven and one-half min
utes or at the rate of 79.7 miles an
hour.-,Railroad Gazette.
