ENGINES NO LONGER NAMED
Known by Numbers In America, But
In Other Countries They Cling
to Old Style.

When the railroads first broke their
way through the prejudices Of our IA
Tiers one of the forces behind them.
as opposed to these prejudices. was
the romantic affection for the project
that every builder has for his work.
In, no way was this more cleverly
shown than in the naming of locomo-
tives.
BY and by this land Of the prosaic.
Of figures, of standardized parts, aban-
doned the flower nomenclature of the
old days and in place of the Thunder
er came the 999; the General was sue
ceeded by some such bald fact as the
LAG, and the thousand men who worked
upon a single engine made engine
parts that would as we'll have fitted
the 999 as the 146.
But In the old world standardization
Of parts, rapid building and pooling Of
engines were not allowed to rob the
m: -hty flyers of all their romance. In
their names Is still recorded the pop
ular worship of some soldier idol Of
glorious battlefield or loyalty to lead
er or ruler.

A Railroad to tho Mer de ol.ee.

One OF tho sInost recent mountain
railroad enterprises In the Mont

tourists up the steep mountain side.
so as to enable them to reach the Inn
mense glacier known as the Mer de
Glaze. which is one OF the most visit
ed places OF this region. lying amid
lofty mountain peaks. Before the
aforementioned railroad was built
tourists had to make a diflcult climb
either on foot or on mule back over a
steep and rocky mountain path and
the ascent and descent took the
greater part Of half day. There was
thus great demand for a comfort

at more thar $4,000, were destroyed.

GRAVEL TRAIN NOT POPULAR
Admitted to BE Necessary. But No
Railroad Man Really
Loves II.

Like the fat man OF the comedy,
the gravel train Is loved by no one.
Vet its awkward moves and blunder-
the principal actors must be tolerated
on the railroad stage where are pro-
duced the tragedies and problem
plays of the nation. This apparently
inconseQuent supernumerary goes ON
making its entrances at the wrong
time, causing the stage manager OF
the system to fume at the awkward
situations thus created and even
those who sit back on easy cushions
to fret at the tangle. But like the
spear carrier who paves the way for
the coming king, 1t will be easily for
gotten when the gloriously arrayed
principal-the limited-holds the
center.

The head of tho maintenance of

HOPPE WAVES RIGHTS;
ACCEPTS SLOSS0N'S Def
Champion and Challenger to Meet
for 1871 BaIk Line Title
Early in December

NEW YORK, Nov 27.-Despite the
fact that under the regulations govern
ing the challenging for championship
billiard matches, George Slosson was
not in a position to challenge Willie
Hoppe for the 1871 balk line title, after
forfeiting recently, until after the trst
of the year. Hoppe has accepted Slos-
sons def and conceded to the chal-
lenger's request that the match be a
two nights affair. They will play IN
the Madison Square concert hall on
December 1 and 2.
Slosson originally challenged Hoppe
for the premier honOrs at this style OF
billiard play and the match was set
for November >, but owing TO the
wrecking Of Slossons billiard hall the
latter forfeited, claiming he would not
have time to practice and get into
shape to play at his best. The rules
state that after a forfeit that chal-
lenger must wait sixty days before
again challenging.
However, Slosson's new academy is
in shape and he says he will be able to
play next month and Hoppe has agreed
to meet him.
They viii play 500 points a night for
a purse of $1,000 and the receipts, the
winner TO take all.

.GEERS PLANS SEASON
FOR WELL BRED HORSE
The Huguenot, Related to Famous
Harness Performers, May
Take Place in Annals

DETROIT, Mich. Nov. 27.-Accord-
ing to late reports, one of the trotters
on which Pop Geers will rely to get
the money in the Grand Circuit stakes
next season, will be the bay six-year-
old stallion, the Huguenot, which took
a record of 2:27 IA two years ago.
More than the usual amount of inter-
est attaches to this horse on account
of his relationship to two of the most
famous horses in the history of the
harness turf, both of which were
trained and raced to their best rec
ords by Geerc. These are The Abbot,
2:03 IA former worlds champion trot-
ter and The Able, 2:O4, the unbeaten
PAGER of the past season, which won
no less than eleven straight races for
Geers, losing but single heat the en-
tire season. These horses are full
brothers to The Huguenot, being sired
by Chimes, out of the famous brood
mare, Nettie King, by Mambrino King,
and all are products of the famous
Village farm, where the Silent Man was
for so many years head trainer.
The Huguenot is owned by Arthur II.

who at one time owned the famous sire
Bingen, 2:06 IA, and also the breeder

undoubtedly the better. In all his
fights here the lad from Pontypridd
showed speed and science which no
boy in the country could equal. Even
Able Attell was unable to solve his

Welsh, should he become champion in

title in a manner similar to that ex-
ercised by Attell. Both boys are so
superlatively clever that a knockout
against them is next to impossible For
years Attell has been going around the
country meeting boob money on all
sides, and by careful management mas

SHAMROCKS ANNEX
TWO FROM D0YLL5
Morning Contest Easy for Nc
CormiCks, but After lnoh
Fight Lasts 10 innings

With a morning victory theirs by
a 9-3 scoare, Jim McCormck's Sham
rocks were put to ten hard innings of
fighting at Vernon yesterday after
noon to again hang it on the Doyles.
Finally the needed tally was sent
over, 3 to being the price.
The before lunch contest was not
much of bout. The Doyles broke all
right, humping Seaton for a pair of
hits which netted a trio of bell ring
ers in the final act Beginning with
the fourth frame, however, the order
of procedure was reversed and from
then on ther was nothing to 1t but
McCormicks bunch. Six errors by the
enemy's cause.
Ellis led off in the afternoon fray
by getting transportation, and ambled
to second ON a wild pitch. Mohler's
i. ,ield single sent him to the corner
sack I'D the Kid followed his effort
by stealing the second stop. Then
Warrender came along to get both his
predecessors home with a slap to the
left field fence.
In the third Carlisle started some-
thing for the Shamrocks by slamming
a triple over first and registering on
Breen's single. The eighth found
Breen again there with the club. His
e-iort was a sngle to right and a
purloin of the keystone pillow. Ber-
nards out sent him to third, and after
Daley had reached first on wide ones
the pair executed a double steal.
With everything tied in the tenth
Breen once more demonstrated his
ability by doubling to left field. Ber-
nard's retirement again put him on
third, and after Daley had fouled out
Howard singled infield to score the
winning tally. The numbers:
