to be practical there was a rush OF cap
ital 70 these enterprises. most Of which
were aided by the Nation, States or
municipalities. In 1850 there were
about 1000 miles Of railway either
built or under construction, while much
more was contemplated. The longest
line was the Erie, which was complet-
ed the next year, and was considered
q wonder. since Il reached from the
port OF New York TO Lake Erie. For
twenty years more railways were built
much as suburban trolley roads are
now, and not until some years after
the Civil War did the genius Of Com
modore Vanderbilt exercise itself IN
the amalgamation OF short lines Into
trunk roads, the outgrOwth OF which
forms the big systems Of to-day.

The battle OF Trenton was fought
again recently In mimicry on the old
battlefield. and the glory Of the pa
triot soldiers OF George Washington
was sounded IN the crash Of musketry
ana cannon, the blare Of brass bands,
The uproar Of human voices and the
cadences Of fne oratory.
The feature Of the day was unques-
uonably the sham battle, which was q
facsimile. 30 10 speak, Of tie real bat
tie Of a century and a quarter ago.
Three mimic forces were In the field.
They were those OF General Washing
ton and Of General Sullivan and the
Hessians. The original battle-ground
was gone over and every care was
exercised to make the sham battle
as realistic and as historically &C
curate as possible.
Excellent judges who were present
said that history was re-enaeted with
remarkable fidelity as to the DISPOSE
tion Of the troops, the firing, the losses
on both sides. and the subsequent ma
chinery Of the action. There was one
exception, however. 70 this precise
realism. The American troops In this
mimic battle did not suffer the pain
endured by their ancestors because Of
insufficient clothing and protection
from the cold.
Down near the monument the first
shots were fired. Then the battle
ragged for an hour through Broad and
Warren streets. Colonel Gilmore Of
the Second New Jersey National
Guard was in command OF the Hes
SLAMS. These troops steadily retreat
cd before the American army, but
halted now and again to IRE a YoIley
at the Yankees. The surrender took
place at two points, first in front Of
the postofiee in East State street, and
again in South Broad street.
In the afternoon a memorial meet
ing, at which Governor voorhees,
presided. was held in the opera house.
