A Champion for the Courthouse Yard.
Gen. coburn has filed with the County
Commissioners a long remonstrance against
granting any part of the courthouse yard

He thinks the north part of the courthouse
yard should be planted with trees and made
into a cool inviting spot for the people of
the city He also mentions the fact that
IL will not be great while before there
will be necessity for addition to the
courthouse. The market, he contends.
should be divided so there win be new mar

horses.

A BICYCLE TRACK.

The announcement that Narragansett
Park is TO have "cinder path" bicy-
Gle track equal to anything in the country,
is a matter OF good deal of public in
terest outside the big public interest that
is represented in the wheeling fraternity.
Bicycle racing is an attractive sport for a
popular show, and we should not won
der IL it does not interest quite as many
persons as horse racing, and perhaps a
great many more in some parts of the
country.
Today the prospects for the bicycle as
track event are remarkably bright, be-
cause Of the evolution of the professional
class. The professional bicycler in the
United States, has, up to recent years, had
sport OF bicycling has been so peculiar that
the sport has failed to reap the benefit of
his skill, and he has been unable to get
much out Of the sport. At last, however,
we are coming to recognize the profes-
sional bicycle racer, and to make place
for him, because it is to our advantage, to
the advantage of the sport, as well as to the
bicycler's gain, to do so. And il we have
enough good tracks well backed up and
supported, we may shortly expect TO see
as tremendous public interest in bicy-
Gle events of this character in this country
as seems to be the case abroad, in Paris,
Berlin and other European cities, for
strong as is the bicycle fad with us Amer
leans, as we understood it, we have yet to
turn our attention TO its possibilities as
an attraction of the turf with anything
like the interest of our cousins across the
water.
Providence, by all means, ought to have
one OF the best bicyle paths in the country,
as it has one of the best horse tracks.
And undoubtedly the management OF Mar
ragansett Park will give us the best track
that can be built, IL it builds track at
all. The time is ripe for the sport, and
the enterprise will undoubtedly pay The
country is full of famous bicycle riders at
this moment, and more are coming from
abroad We look forward with pleasure
to the opportunity which looms up of
enjoying this fine sport under the un-
equaled conditions that Narragansett
Park can offer.

to secure great traction power.
Accordingly, in this system, the baggage
cars were built with exceptionally heavy
frames and trucks TO provide, in meas
ure, for this lack OF weight, and the load
OF baggage itself contributes somewhat to
the actual drawing power OF the engine
Two such cars are used as locomotives,
and are provided with two electric motors
on each truck of 100 horse power each.
These cars, thus equipped with four
motors, can exert 5000 pounds pull each
on these drawbars, which is sufficient to
pull an ordinary excursion train at so
miles an hour. 1t is reported that on the
official tests 60 miles an hour was exceeded.
A singular but noteworthy feature in
the mechanism of the train is the fact
that, steam being entirely absent, the
Westinghouse air brakes are supplied with
pressure by independent electric motors.
All the power is derived from a station
located near one end of the line, which
supplies the overhead trolley wire with
electricity at 700 volts, something above
that ordinarily used on trolley roads.
In the power station two generators, or
dynamos, OF about Is horse power each,
supply the lines with current. The entire
system is extremely simple in arrange
ment, and efficient in operation, and, be-
ing the first of it's kind in the world, will
be watched with intense interest all over
the world. .f.

POWDER, PILL AND LIQUID.
The Old Man Was Puzzled About
Their Destination.

Recently an Irishman landed at the
home OF his daughter on Ives street after
journeying from the old country. Hi 5
coming was looked for, and there was re-
joicing at the house. Friends that came
from the same part OF the country were
invited TO the Ives street residence, and
there was a great rejoicing Soon after
the old man arrived at the house he COM
planned of feeling sick, so a doctor was
summoned. The man OF medicine found
that the patient was suffering from a
severe headache his liver was out of order,
and last, but not least, he had very
bad attack OF rheumatism. The doctor
left powder for the headache. n pill for
the liver, and some sort of n liquid pre-
paration for the rheumatism. The three
different sorts of medicine decorated n
washstand in the old mans sleeping
apartment, which he eyed with great
curiosity.
After the doctor departed, the old man
called his daughter to his bedside, and
in low voice said: "Katie there.is pill
for me liver, a powder for me headache,
and some stun Tor me rheumatism. Now
what / want TO know is how the divil do
all Of these things go to the right place?n

THE NANTAsKET TROLLEY.

The Consolidated's trolley line at Nan
tasIIet Beach marks an epoch in the rail-
road history OF the world.
While this country has been crossed and
re-crossed with trolley lines for urban
and suburban tramway service, the new
electric line at Nantasket Beach is the
first application OF the trolley system to a
railroad proper, as power for ordinary
passenger and freight service The credit
OF the experiment and successful opera
tion OF this first trolley railroad OF stand
ard gauge and capacity belongs to the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road Company.
To be sure, the new line is only seven
miles in length, and is hardly more than
a summer excursion route. But the sue
cess of the experiment indicates that at
no distant day we may see a great part
OF the branch line service of this and
other railroad systems run by trolley. In
this system the locomotives are the bag
gage cars OF the train, which are fitted
with electric motors OF unusual power ON
