BIG CROWD ON HAND.
Society and Other Folks Interested in
Horse Show

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
ATLANTIC CITY. July II. 1903.
This has been a record week for Atlantic
City from a social viewpoint, well as
from a business standpoint The horse
show. which closes today. and which has
been the most successful in the history of
the Horse Show Association, attracted more
society people from all sections of the
country than at any other period of the
year. with a possible exception of Easter.
In addition to the society people, however.
the plain people have been here in vast
numbers. The railroad statistics show that
this aggregate has never before been
rea ched outside of August, and the reServa-
tons in the hotels and even the boarding
houses indicate that the rush will continue
without an intermSSiOn until mid -Septem-
Der at least. The success of the horse show
exceeded the most sangune expectations
of its officials. The number of horses
shown was larger in number and bet
ter in quality than ever before ex
in this country. Much was expected
from the entries of Reginald Van
derblt. but the animals did fulfill the
expectations of the visitors to the show.
The young exhibitor himself was not pres
ent, but his interests were represented by
his brother, Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt, who
was accompanied by a number OF friends.
The Jewish Chautauqua, which has been
tinue until July %, has attracted a large
gathering of prominent educators and
thinkers from throughout the country. and
the discussions on vital questions affecting
the welfare of the race throughout the
world have been followed with absorbing
interest by immense audiences.
The plans for the new Atlantic City post
office have been finally accepted by tie
United States Treasury Department. and
the work of construction Will now proceed
rapidly. The building Will cost close 10
$2oo.wp, and will be the handsomest gov
eminent ediice in city of this size in the
country.
The local authorities have had under
consideration for several years a plan for
the installation of a salt water main for
use in case of large fires. While they have
been considering the matter Capt. John L.
Young decided he would install the system
on his own account, and give the city the
benefit of his experiment 1t is now in full
working order and has proven to be capa-
bic of deiuging an entire neighborhood
should an occasion arise to do so. This
affords him absolute protection against a
destructive fire In either his hotel or pier
With this object lesson before them, it is
believed the city authorities will now go
ahead and install a similar plant for the
protection of the entire cN.

these has something about It that
calls up a definite picture in the IN ID.
But the American face has no strong
characteristic to diffcrentlate it from
other faces Of superior races, though
It Is peculiar in some ways. 1t Is pc
culiar in its cosmopoltanism. 1t Is pc.
in one sense composite face. 1t Is
international, for here and there one
may find the traces which suggest n
relation to this, that or the other face.
1t may be a line or llgament be-
queathed by an early English an
cestry or something suggestive Of
Teutonic origin or sharp sugges-
ton of the Frenchman's face or the
lrishman's face or the Italians or the
Scotchman's. But when one must
deal with the American abstractly,
one can scarcely call up the American
face. Uncle Sam. with his striped
trousers, his sharply cut coat his plug
hat, his whiskcrs, and his bland,
good-natured countcnance, Is n happy
conception, yet he may never hope to
portray the matchless and indescrib-
able cosmopolitanism of the American
face. But if the American face has
no distinctive features, II has distinc-
tive strength. 1t Is composite of
the best in all peoples. 1t Is n blend
ing Of the lights and shadows in the
faces of men who have come from all
parts of the world TO conquer and
who have conquered intolerance of
oppression, longing for liberty. politi-
cal and industrial resolve, effort, en-
ergy, successful these are written
and rewritten upon the American face,
by the best and bravcst children of
every land under the sun. From tho
American face are obliterated all the
provincial narrowncss and weaknesses
that make the other faces distinctive.
In it is combined the strength of them
all.

Religious services held In absolute
darkness are an experiment begun a
few weeks ago in London. The purpose
was not novelty or notorlety, but de-
sire to answer the objection raised by
poorly dressed people against going to
any place where their shabby clothes
made them feel uncomfortable. The
experiment was made at st. James, in
Clerkenwell. A large sheet was hung
across the eastern end of the church,
and upon this the words and music of
the hymns, the prayers and responses
were thrown by lime-light lantern. If
the attention of the congregation was
not concentrated on the service the
fault could not be attributed to any de.
sire to study the fashions.

COMPARISONS of the Lifetime of En-

An expert on railway affairs has re-
Gently said that on English railways.
it had been found most economical
that locomotives should go through
the shops every two years, and that
there engines were built with a view
to longer service than in America. 1t
has only been the last two years that
American roads generally have taxed
the capacity of the locomotive manu-
facturers to the utmost replenishinS
their WORKOUT engines and providing
new ones to meet the demands of the
increasing volume of business. The
economies of the '90s led many roads
to overtax their motive power. Com
pairing the average life of an engine,
this expert says that one English
company had stated the average life
time of a boiler, on basis of 100000
miles, to be, passenger engines nine
years: freight engines, fourteen years;
switching engines, seventeen years,
and branch passenger engines, sixteen
years
He did not agree with this, claim
ing that passenger express engines In
England last twenty-five years, freight
twenty-six years, local passenger
twenty five years, and freight engines
twenty-seven years. The mileage OF
express engines from his data vaT.ed
from 100000 to 100000 miles, freight
engines from 100000 to 100000 miles.
Comparing this with American expert
ence he claims that the aim of Amer
leans Is to continue the life of loco
motive fifteen years, getting the ut
most out of 1t during that time, and
then throwing 1t on the scrap heap,
if it could not be sold to some smaller
road. The average lifetime of engines
on six American roads, as stated in
this connection, has been demonstrate
ed to be: Express engines, eighteen
years; freight engines, sixteen years;
local passenger, nineteen years. He
finds under this claim that all classes
of American engines make a higher
mileage than the English, the range
being between one to two million
miles. The average lifetime of the
boiler varies slightly In the two coun-
tries. In America engines are taken
to the shops for overhauling on the
average from every years and quar-
ter to a year and half as compared
with two years in England.-New
