The word was given and Doolittle brought
down the spike hammer and missed the
spike about one inch. Herman fred away
and the spike went spinning down the
track. The eX-mayoT dropped his crow
bar and ran for a place Of safety.
BY taking short hold on the hammer
the TWO amature track layers finally sue
ceeded in driving the spike. The passers-
by kept stopping until the big crowd pres
ent gave the ceremony the appearance OF
having been a regular Official affair. Ev-
erybody was pleased and many good
wishes were expressed for the new En-
poria avenue line Very heavy sixty-foot
rails are being used, and the line will be
as good as any in the city.
