we are in receipt of the report Of
the railroad commissioners for the year
ending June 80, last. The document
seems quite comprehensive. We find
the following in relation to the narrow
gauge;
Road.bed. Since the inspection Of
1895, the road.bed of this division has
been somewhat improved. Through
out its entire length there is need OF
more ballast and better drainage The
gauge is only three feet, and the curves
are very sharp and numerous. Some
10000 new ties aie being laid this sea-
son, but there still remains a large
number that have seen TOO long service
and ought to be Immediately renewed.
Depots.-The depots on this division
are nearly all in need of substantial
repairs and improved sanitary convent
ences; but little has been done in the
past two years for improving these sta
tons and without specifying where re-
pairs are most urgent, it is enough to
say that the attention of the manage.
ment should be directed to them with
out delay.
Bridges-In the matter of bridges
and trestes, the Improvements
made since the inspection of 1895 and
those contemplated during the present
season merit the commentator Of the
Board. Nearly one thousand feet OF
trestles have been filled, and many
others renewed or strengthened.
Bridges No. Is and 50 are this year to
be replaced by iron structures taken
from other divisions of the system.
Bridge No. II, although claimed to be
adequate for the traffic over it, appears
to be in a condition that certainly re.
quires most careful scrutiny on the
part of the management; the trestles al
either end are not first-class, and the
attention of the railroad officials has
been called to their condition.
Special Statutory Requirements
The law relating to the maintenance Of
crossings signs, tell-tale warnings and
the blocking of frogs and switches is
fairly well complied with. Cattle
guards and fences are consplcuously alb
sent and the right of way badly neg
ected. In numerous instances the
Board noted that the guard rails upor
bridges were becoming soft from age
and required renewals.

the theater. It was his intention to
take his fathers place In tragedy. and
1t was not impossible that his genius
might have broadened with age to the
desired scope. In physique there was
nothing wanting. A young giant OF
marvellous inherited strength he had
the force and the presence to follow
"Othello." Tho Gladiator" and the
other tragedies so well presented by
the elder. The young man never COM
pletely conquered English. His foreign
accent was just perceptible in most of
his stage speech. It was especially
prominent In his Hamlet, and this fact
somewhat marred the dignity Of his
work in that play.
