Gvntenders on Celtic Park Track.
There was formed in this city some yea rs
ago an athletic association which at first
bore the name Of the Greater New York
Irish Athletic Association. Among the
yery first members were Michael j. Cregan,
known AZ the athletic cop; John J, Fana-
gan, the hammer thrower, and Myer Prn-
stein, the broad jumper. With a change
in name to the Irish-American Athletic
Club the organization began to broaden
out and many more men were taken In
whose names did not seem to indicate Irish
extraction.
One Of the recent recruits 10 the club
stan OF athletes is John b. Taylor, the negro
athlete Of the University Of Pennsylvania,
who is the intercollegiate quarter mile
champion and record holder There has
hardly been one athletic meeting recently
at Celtic Park. the clubs grounds. in which
Taylor has not appeared and il may be
said that there 10 no athlete more popular
with the Celtic Park crowd than Taylor.

has studied closely the growth
and development of this means

is recognized authority, and the
article is very interesting and
instructive.
The early history and develop

experimental forms of electric
traction are not only interesting,
but among the most marvellous
of our time. The rcial
and social Importance OF the
electric railway is beyond compu-

not practically concerned in
some method of its employ ment.

mountain streams are now be

power, and electrical railway
power and transportation equip.
ment have reached such perfec
ton and magnitude as to aston.
ish and gain the attention and
serious con sideration of the
civilized world.
EARLY ELECTRIC HISTORY
Since 1879 when the first
electric railway, which took its
current from a stationary dy-
namo and carried passengers at
the Berlin exposition, was oper-
ated with fair success. great
advancement has been made in
transportation by electricity.
The first regular road was put
in operation in Great Britain,
known as the Portrush Electric
Railway, and installed by Stem
ems Bros, Of London. In 1885
John G. Henry installed q road
in Kansas City, and later he
placed one in operation in San
Diego, Cal. Following this
period there was unusual activi-
ty in electrical rallroading. At
this same time Van Depoele
Installed a small system at the
Toronto expositione employing an
overhead wire. Soon after
wards similar experiments were
made in Windsor, Canada;
Appleton, Wisconsin; Port
Huron Michigan; Scranton, Pa :;
and Montgomery, Ala.
PRIMITIVE STEAM ROADS
Look backwards to 1880 and
we find the primitive age of
steam roads. During the first
thirty five years the experiments
in steam transportation made
