that brief period the development of
street car systems in this State has
been rapid and most wonderful.
The credit for building and operat-

by the General Electric Company, al

ing speed of four miles an hour Nine
years later Professor Moses G.. Far

was exhibited as novelty. and the
next year Thomas A. Edison con-
structed an electric locomotive capa-
Bile of carrying two passengers. Edi-
SONS locomotive, however, was not
practical for commercial purposes,
and he was too busy experimenting
with the electric light to give the
locomotive much careful study. The
summer of 1887 a party of experiment
ers tried out an electric car in the
streets of New York, amid the boots
and sneers of the people. This also
was little better than failure.
DR., Sirmens in 1879 exhibited in
Berlin, Germany, small electric To-.
connective. For some time he conduct.
ed experiments on an electric railway
with indifferent success.
Through all these years the electric
car was no more than the cherished
dream of the numerous electric in.
vehtors. It remained for Mr.. Sprague
to give to The world the first electric
street railway which was commercials
ly possible.
Since that early morning nineteen
years ago when the first electric car
glided over the rails in the streets
or Richmond motors have been
brought to such point of perfection
that they are rapidly encroaching on

One intercollegiate record was broken.
This was In the plunge for distance III
which Sherman, of Yale, made sixty

the purpose of deciding the individual
championship and Will not affect IN
any way the team championship, which
was previously won by Princeton. The
teams which failed to show up were

three weakest in the association.
