Horsemen will hail with delight the announce

George V Brewer that the Brooklyn Speedway
Will be an accomplished fact by May l. This week

Parkway, from Twenty-second-ave. to Kings High
way. Three thousand dollars will be appropriated
out of the Park fund for the construction of the
Speedway. Commissioner Brewer said
The Speedway will have a matter of right
and some way Will be found to make IL go IL the
present scheme does not work. 1t Is the opinion
of horsemen in general that the centre of the
Boulevard be reserved for speeding: that the
erly side, next the curb. be allotted to heavier
pleasure carriages those who do not wish to
speed going down and the easterly side coming
back; that no crossing of the Speedway be allowed
and that speeding be allowed only in one direction
toward the island, probably. These will prob
ably be the lines upon which shall work

SEEMS SLOW NOW.
Yen Miles Hour by Rail Forty-seven
 Years Ago.

II was greatly Interested the other day" said q passenger conductor who runs into New Orleans, ''in looking over an old schedule of the South Carolina railroad, printed just forty seven years ago, in the fall of '52 It is hard to realize what tremendous changes have taken place within the memory of the people who are now alive and hearty. In the 50's the South Carolina line was considered one of the best equipped and fastest in the country. l find by the old schedule that the night express between Charleston and Columbia, which is distance of about 130 miles, made the trip, when it had good luck, in F hours and f5 minutes, but the public was warned not to expect such a feat every day. The freight service be- tween the two points was scheduled to cover the run in % hours, there or thereabouts. That was a shade better than four and one-half miles an hour, and was considered so fast that there is a special order to trainmen to stop
 
 Walt for the same to lift" It seems to me that order gives one a wonder full picture of the good old times. Think of through freight roasting on siding, waiting for fog to lift Nowadays the passenger trains make the run from Charleston to Columbia in four hours. According to the '52 schedule, there was an express train that left Charleston at D. m. and arrived in Hamburg at the following morning. The distance Is 136 miles. A freight for Aiken, f20 miles away, left at the same hour, and reached its destination at 9.40 next night. Ten miles an hour was considered remark able speed for passenger trains in those days, and an old Anhabitant told me hat many people declined to risk their necks at such gait. From what near of the rolling-stock equipment. they showed their good sense. ."-New Orleans Times-Demeerat
