president of the Grand Trunk, general
superintendent f. II. Michigan and J..
M. Herbert, superintendent of the eastern
division, were at Island Pond last Tues
day on their tour ofinspection over this
division of the system. Under general
manager Hays and his able assistants
the Grand Trunk is being conducted on
broad gauge, up-to-date basis and with
a proper consideration for the needs and
comfort of travellers. This policy has
within a few days received an exempifi-
cation in an addition to the rolling stock
of 26 new coaches that in style, finish and
appointment are unexcelled. These cars
are built at its own shops. They are all
OF the vestibule order, 60 feet long, with
six wheel trucks, and equipped with the
latest appliances. The platforms are of
steel, with coverings for the steps so that
an entire platform can be arranged to
form vestibule and they are ilumna-
ted at night by large light overhead.
The interior wood work is of polished
mahogany with fine upholstering, and
accommodations are provided for II
passengers. The seats are all adjusta-
bic, spring allowing them to be turned
from one side to the other, so that pas
sengers are not obliged to hunt up a
trainman when they want a seat turned.
Each car has a commodiOus and inviting
smoking room. The ball bearings of the
blinds are SO arranged that they will
stop at any point desired. The cars are
heated by steam, and lighted by the
Pintsch gas.

ZEPHRA 1!

The first presentation of Zephra in
Island Pond will be given tonight, Thurs
day, under the auspices of the w. r. c.,
and both artistically and financially the
entertainment is already an assured sue
cess. Perhaps no entertainment of any
nature has ever been undertaken in this
place on so large a scale as Zephra, and
certainly none has ever created the inter-
est and enthusiasm that this Spectacle
has aroused in local circles. The stage
in the opera house has been enlarged and
the auditorium as well as stage taste
fully decorated for the occasion. The
performances will commence each even
ing at 500 and during the entertainment
tbs ladies are respectfully invited to re-
move their hats. A large crowd from
North Stratford and Gorham will attend
on Friday night.
