Donald Rose, the local agent for the
Illinois Central, yesterday placed in
the window of his office on Second
South two large framed photographs of
Illinois Central engines Nos. GAO and
$50, the former being the largest engine
in the world. These two monster loco
motives have been recently put into
service by the company, and haul 100
cars (9,000 tons) Of freight with appar
ent ease. The larger engine of the two
weighs 235, 900 pounds when in working
order, 10000 pounds of which rest on
the eight driving wheels, the balance
on the pilot truck. Some idea of the
dimensions OF these mastodonic iron
horses may be arrived at when it is
stated that the tank capacity is $500
gallons, the boiler eighty inches in
diameter, fire box eleven feet long by
three and a half feet wide, cylinders
twenty-foUr by thirty inches in dimen-
sion, and the drivers sixty inches in
diameter.
Prior to the introduction of these
large engines into service the Illinois

verts along the right of way.

these easy grades, the curvature of the
new portion of the road is very light

degrees. As an Illustration of this last

.CHILDREN'S DAY At SALT PALACE
FREE ADMISSION TO GROUNDS
DRAWS A THRoNG.
Eventful Times and Animated Scenes
Around the Amusements-Ev
Saturday for Little Folks.

Children's day at the Salt Palace
yesterday attracted a throng of 1.5OO
young folks, and the day was such a
big success that Manager Peters has
decided to repeat it next Saturday. The
gates were thrown open free, and
bright and early the youngsters began
pouring through the turnstiles. Near
~ every one of them carried a lunch
basket, and later in the day the green
sward Of the Palace park was trans
formed into an immense picnic ground
All kinds of preparations, including
increased guard force. had been made
for the entertainment Of the little
ones, and they went the route of the
programme from free riding on the
merry gO-rOund and miniature rail-
road to the big free matinee in the
vaudeville theatre. The merry-go-
round did such a land office business
that it finally broke down, and the
miniature railroad cars looked like
they would collapse under their loads.
In the theatre the actors were faced
by the biggest and merriest audience
Of the week. There were many moth
ers in the audience, but nary another
man was there to keep company with
the ticket taker.
The coon songs and dances of Harry
Lewis and Miss Lake made a big hit
with the youngsters, if peals of laugh
ter count for anything, and the bal
ance Of the bill, including Nine Thel-
mas violin playing, simply charmed
the growing lads and misses.
Many tiny dancers tripped over the
Palace dancing floor, and the band had
more enthusiastic auditors than ever
before. The pop corn man was the
busiest fellow on the grounds, and it
| is estimated that 1900 balls of the sue
culent corn disappeared in the shuttle.
The day was such a big success that
