officials and Stockholders OF Queen Amos
Railway have an Outing.
Baltimore sun, Aug, Goth
A party ut officials and stockholders
of the Queen Anne's railroad made an
inspection trip over the line. on Satur-
day. The new steamer Queen Anne left
the Light street pier of the company at
n. m. and took the party to Queens
town. A short stop was made there to
outline the plan for the establishments
Of another terminal on tho Chester
River.
1t is proposed to extend the line fiom
Queenstown to loves Point, which Is
at the northern end of Kent Island On
the river side of the point there is a
harbor with ample depth of water. The
Plan under consideration coDtemplates
building the extension to take care of
the through business Of the railroad,
which has grown toNlarge proportions
owing to tho development along its line
in Maryland and Delaware.
1t is calculated that the steamer
Queen Anne con run from Baltimore to
the proposed new terminal on Loves
Point in about hour and As minutes.
At present 1t takes about hours and
20 minutes to maze the run to Queens
town, as 1t Is necessary to go very
slowly after passing loves Point, owing
to the crooked channel. ts
A project is also under consideration
to build hotel at Loves Point. Some
property has been acquired In the inter-
est of the railroad company for the ex-
tension and hotel should 1t be decided
to carry out the plans.
After examining the situation at
Queenstown the party went to Lewes,
III special train. The run, of GO miles
was made In o5 minutes, and the train
crew, which was made up OF Capt.
Howard b. Anderson, conductor; Jacob
+. Scott, engineer, and Edward Wiley,
flremen, snid that they could have
covered it at the rate OF a mile minute
without any trouble. For most of the
distance tho railroad III as straight as a
string, and the fast run indicated that
1t was we'll built ~
From ,Lewes the party took the steam
ferry for Cape May. This service is
operated In connection with the Queen
Anno's Railroad Go. by Care May
company, which is running the steamer
j. s. Warden between the two points.
1t is contemplated to build q new
steamer for this service, SO as to make
schedule of less than four hours for
the trip from Baltimore through, to
Cape May. =. q.
This trip. comprises so miles by water
to Queenstown, 60 miles by rail to
Lewes and 10 miles across the mouth of
the Delaware Bay to Cape May-in all
103 miles. Most of the party spent
