magnificent highway between the two
foremost metropolises of the Union is
an event of such vast Importance as to
attract the eyes of two continents.
1t was a victory for the brains which
conceived this stupendous undertaking.
that after waging a war against the
greatest moneyed powers of the land
the steam railroad kings-who opposed
every obstacle to the financing of this
enterprise, and having surmounted
these barriers to fruitlon of their plans,
by direct appeal to the people for funds,
that they were able to achieve so much
of the rewards OF perseverance by ac-
complishing the practical beginning of
construction.
1t is fitting sequel to the selfshness
of the railroad kings that the building
of the road should proceed without their
help, for it will afford an exemplary in
stance of an honest promotion, as op-
posed to their notorious stock watering
and bond grabbing methods, and there
is presented to investors, great or small,
a stock which has not been manipulated
and cannot be disturbed by the machi-
nations Of Wall street.
IT is a worthy experiment. too, that
the first of the great electric trunk
lines which are destined to be built in
this country shall be built and shall be
owned by the people
IN LINE WITH DESTINY
This modern type of railroad is not a
revelation or a revolution. 1t is the
natural evolution of existing conditions.

Rapid transit by electric traction is
an accomplished fact in Europe as well
as in America. Even near the city of
Chicago the Aurora, Elgin g. Chicago
railroad has demonstrated to the world
the marvellous possibilities of long dis
lance electric traction. The story of
this project is a tale of success from
start to finish. Fortunes have been
made by the men who had the courage
to break away from old formulae and
do something unprecedented at that
time.
This road is ffty-seven miles long,
and full trains run over 1t at a speed
which sometimes reaches ninety miles
an hour. The road has been popular
with passengers from the very first day.
II runs smoothly, without jolt or lurch,
and without smoke or smell, 1t is a

HOW ROSEBEN
BROKE RECORD

BELMONT RACE TRACK. October
16.-Roseben stamped herself the great
est Splinter in the world when he ran
over the Belmont seven-furlongs course
this afternoon in the remarkable time
Of 1:22. The former record was 1:25.
The record performance was made
in the fifth race an affair for all ages,
Plunger "Davey" Johnson's colt was
assigned 126 pounds-a feather for him
and so certain a winner did he appear
that twelve owners scratched their
horses, leaving only Roseben and
Beauclaire to go. There was no bet
ting on the race. The ''bookies'' put up
to so on Roseben and so to l on
Beauclaire.
Willie Shaw was up on Roseben. He
went to the front at the start. spurted
away ahead OF Beauclaire and came
tearing around the turn at the record
clip. In the stretch Shaw sat down and
hand-rode TO the wire. He got every
lick of speed out of Roseben.
whats the matter with Shave" the
regulars cried. Whats he running
Roseben off his feet for when the other
horse is twenty lengths away"
There was a cry of establishment
from the crowd when the timers hung
out 1:22. The time smashed all records
for the straight course and around the
turn. The best previous time was
made by Bella B. on the Monmouth
Park course in 1890 over the straight
course Halifax held the record around
the ring, the time being 1924 z-5.
The reason for Shaw's strenuous rid
ing was not disclosed until after the
race. It was then learned that
'.Davey' Johnson had bet $4,000 on
time He bet Dick DOggett, club
house commissioner, that Roseben
would do better than 1:25, and he bet
Billy Dubois $4,000 that Roseben would
beat 1:25
Roseben probably will be sent against
the rs.iz record, which is held by Sal
vator. of 1875 1-2, over the stralghtaway
course at Monmouth in 1890.

To count the many bruises of the day.
