The Motor Wagon.

1t Is expected that Mr.. Charles S. Fair
fields new motor wagon will be given
a short trial at the Portland Company IS
yard today, and then later, trial given
to which the newspaper men and others
will be invited.
The wagon will be large five-seated
one, capable of seating 90 persons. The
rig is m managed by motorman who
controls it by means of wheel very
similar to those on cable car which
steers the vehicle, and several levers
which regulate the speed.
The motor, which is operated by kero-
sene, takes up but little space in the
wagon, the greater part of the machinery
being situated between the hGGr of the
wagon and the axle of the great wheel.
The motor is expected TO develop 10 horse
force, which will be sufficient to draw
the wagon with a heavy load in it at a
good rate of speed on almost any road
which is in anything like fair condition.
The gear used to run the wagon is quite
complicated and it took much extra
time to construct it. since it was the de-
sire of Mr.. Wilson Sprague, who had
charge of the construction Of the wagon
and the machinery to have everything
done In the most satisfactory manner.
In turning a corner for instance, the
movements of the, rear wheels are con-
trolled by compensating gear instead
of clutch as is used in nearly all of the
vehicles, thus equalizing the strain on
both wheels.
