Most of the work of the mechanics in
this shop is done by slow hand pro-
ceSses and while the tools used are the
best to be had. his art is not such as to
allow the rapid execution to be found IN
some of the other departments
The tin shop is connected with the
copper department in many and vari-
Gus ways, and is in reality part of it.
Once, years ago, these departments
were separate, but it was found nee
essary TO unite them, as much of the
work partook of a like nature.
Here we find tools of all kinds and
descriptions necessary to a first-class
plant, and it would be a difficult task to
lind a neater or better equipped shop
anywhere in the country. Here every
thing is turned out from a lineup TO a
water tank, and when it is done it is
yeell done. The mechanics employed
here are the best to be had, and the
most intricate and artistic work is
turned out by them with remarkable
dispatch. The amount of material
worried up here may be understood
when it is known that nearly all the
tinwork used on the Southern Pacific
Companyss lines and steamers is man
Gsactured here.
The copper and tin shop also makes
room for the roofers, a body of men
whose duty it is to place the tin roofs
gpon all cars or replace them when nee
cSsary. Theirs is a work which re-
quiIes skill and dispatch, and it is safe
TO say they have both.
The names of the men employed in
this shop follow:

Sobogganing Down Run on Rocking

Sobogganing Down Run Rocking
Horses to Decide n Wager.
There is no knowing what an Eng
llshinan will not do to decide bet.
Men have jumped across dining tables,
mounted upon untractable steeds-yea,
and even kissed their own mothers-in-
LAWN order to settle wager. In fine,
it ought to be an established maxim
among US by this time that, given GER
tain number Of impossibilities and an
equal number of young Englishmen,
those impossibilities will not long re-
main such, provided they be made the
subjects of bets.
One of those incidents which go a
long way toward justifying the reputa-
ton which as nation of madmen we
have earned among foreigners occurred
at st. Moritz when, lin order to settle
a bet, " Lord William Manners and the
Hon. II. Gibson agreed to go down the
village run" mounted on rocking
horses in place of ordinary toboggans.
A feature of the race was that both
competitors were 'attired in full hunt
ing kit, " and as elaborate preparations
had been made for the contest and ru-

noised abroad the crowd which had as
senbled to witness it was both large
and distinguished.
The start was fixed for 12 o'clock,
and shortly before that hour the shouts
OF the spectators announced that the
horses were off. Unlike the custom in
toboggan races, both started at the same
time. In the first course Lord William
Manners led as far as q certain angle of
the run" called Casper's Corners, from
the fact that hotel of that name is
situated close by, but taking it rather
nigh MIR. Gibson passed cleverly on the
inside, which he maintained to the fin
ish, Lord William being summarily
dismissed from his fractions steed's
back some distance to the bad from the
winning post.
In the second course Lord William
Manners again had the advantage as far
as Casper's Corners, where Mr.. Gibson
again tried to pass him on the inside,
but being Jockeyed by his opponent his
morse swung round and proceeded down
tho run tail foremost, but leading. The

dismounting. seized it unceremoniously
by the nose and turned it into the way
it should go.
Meanwhile Lord William Manners
had suffered disappointment second
tme, for in attempting to "take"-to
use true hunting term-a particularly
awkward part of the run" called Bel
vedere Corner his horse refused to re-
spond to its riders exertions to get it
successfully over the obstacle, and horse
and jockey came down to the ground in
one munitions somersault together.
Lord Williams discontinue proved
to DO Mr.. Gibson's opportunity. The
time and ground that the former had
lost by his involuntary flight through
the air were never recovered. Mr.. Glib
son, with the position of his horse re-
versed and his legs thrust scientifically
In front of him, rode easily and trium-
phantly forward and eventually reached
the winning post some seconds in adj
vance of his opponent.-Alpine Post.
