OPENING DAY AT
 HAWTHORNE TRACK Occasion Was Marked by the
 Downfall of Favorites.
SEVERAL PRETTY CONTESTS
The Monadnock Stakes Went to Mid wood, Seven to One Shot, the Favorite, Scales, Finishing
 Absolutely Last

Chicago, July 23.-The opening day of the races at Hawthorne was marked by the downfall of favorites. Scales, the odds-on fayorite in the Monadnock stakes, finished absolutely last, the event going to Mid wood. Wax, a Derby candidate, set the pace and carried the field lively chase to the stretch turn, where he died away Silver Coin came out and gave Wildwood a stiff argument to the wire Scales did not seem to like the track and was unfortunate in being pocketed. When Winktield saw that he had no chance he pulled the favor ite up and finished last. Barbara M, at the good odds of 10 to 1, headed the bunch of 2-y year-olds coming into the stretch and won easily.
 John A. Morris, a well-played second choice, beat the crack imp. Mint Sauce by two lengths in the third race.
 The short course steeplechase was a pretty contest Not horse fell. Passe- partout was overtaken at the last jump by Becky Rolfe, who won by length and a half. Golden Age, a prohibitive favorite in the five furlong dash, won easily. Bull man pilated Eva Rice, the second choice in the last race, beating out the favorite, Orimar. Weather cloudy track good.

aid yesterday that the directors had
determined to refund all the bonds of
That system as fast as they matured
nto 3a per cent. 100-year bonds. AL
hough there are only $3,067 900 bonds
Of the Lackawanna proper there is an
aggregate Of about $54000,000 of bonds
outstanding on the main and branch
dnes. Nearly all of these issues bear
per cent. interest.
Arrangements have already been
hade to replace $75OOO0 7 per cent.
Nonds of the Warren railroad, which
nature this fall, with 31a per cents.
Negotiations are pending for the re-
,dnding into 31a per cents. Of the S5,-
100000 of Morris and Essex Is, which
-tature next fall. Between the present
hme and 1907 about $4,000 900 of the
bonds of various roads in the Lacka-
wanna system will mature and steps
Will be taken to have them replaced
by 312s. The maturity of the remain
der of the $54,000,000 of outstanding
bonds extends over many years, but
the same refunding plan, it is ex-
pected, will be applied to each issue.
The Lackawanna management has
contracted with a substantial New
York banking house to take charge of
the refunding to be done this fall.

Another Railroad.

A corps of engineers has been at
work this week running a line from
Matamoras, Pike county, to Milford
and from here westwardly through the
county to meet, it is said, a survey
now being made from Wilkes Barre in
this direction. Joseph Il. Perry, who
bought the franchise of the Delaware
and Anthracite railroad last year,
which was a successor of the old Le-
high and Eastern, and subsequently
transferred his rights to the Peoples
Railway company, was here this week
and stated, we are informed, that the
survey was being made in the interest
of the latter corporation. Engineers
have recently been at work in the
western part of this county, but no one
seemed to have information as to their
object or the company employing them.
Possibly if injunctiOns or other legal
distractions retard, or prevent, the
building of the new road along the old
canal in this state and the New York
authorities finally grant permission to
build over there the new line, If built,
may be compelled to cross the river at
Port Jervis and go through the CEN
trail portion of this county. We wish
the promoters of the canal road all
success possible, but it would be a
happy outcome for us if in the end they
were diverted in this direction. There
are thousands of acres of excellent
arabic land in the county which would
nearly adjoin such route, which may
never be developed until a road IS
brought in proximity to 1t.
The summit of the Pocono mountain
along the line of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western railroad is being
largely patronized as a summer resort,
and we have in this county sites more
advantageous and beautiful which only
need facilities for access to become as
famous as the Catskills. There is no
question as to the possibility of a line
across the central portion of the county
and we hope in the effort to construct
a road it may fall to our lot, after
these long years of waiting and hoping,
to have it cross in this direction.
Easton capitalists who control the
franchises of the Delaware Valley
railway are now securing options on
rights of way, not heretofore obtained,
between Bushkill and Stroudsburg and
say they propose building a road up
the valley this summer.-Stroudsbu

VANDERBILT AN INVENTOR.
Successful Test of His Locomotive
Firebox Is Made.

Philadelphia, July 26.-COrnelius Van
derbilt, jr., today made another and
it is successful, test of the locomotive
fireboX recently invented by him. Mr..
Vanderbilt arrived here last night and
early this morning went to Baldwin's
locomotive works and, accompanied by
Superintendent Vaucain, of Baldwins
he went to a new Union Pacific loco
motive stationed near Fairmount park
on the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road.
Mr. Vanderbilt sat with the engi-
neer and Mr.. Vauclain with the fire.
man. The test lasted an hour and
the engine ran smoothly forsthat time,
the boiler holding steam without a
trace of loss or weakness.
A number of locomotive experts at
Baldwins said today that the Wander
bilt device, if it carries out the prom
ise which it's tests have afforded, bids
fair to revolutionize locomotive con-
struCtion.
The standard firebox of locomotives
in general use is wagon shaped and is
surrounded by a boiler shell holding
the water from which the steam is
generated. 1t requires heating on the
side and upward. The shell and the
firebox are built of three-eighths inch
steel plates riveted together. The Van
| derbilt device consists Of n cylindrical
boiler shell. with a firebox of CORFU
| gated steel, three quarters of an inch
in thickness, which is also cylindrical
| in form. The bottom of the fire.
box is raised two inches above the
| floor of the boiler shell, permitting
the water to circulate all around it.
The corrugated fireboX has long been
used in the construction of marine
boilers. Vanderbilt adapts it to loco
motives, a radical departure in loco
motive construction. The first cost OF
the Vanderbilt locomotive is really not
more than that of the locomotive run
by the old device. But the device
it is said gives economies in repairs
and in the consumption of fuel and
water, and it affords a greater heating
surface, giving power and speed.
