FOUR MONSTER
D. & H. ENGINES
DELAWARE AND HUDSON IN
STALLS FOUR OF THE LARG-
ESD TYPE COAL ENGINES IN
THE WORLD,

The six large Mallett Articulated
| Compound Engines built for the
Delaware & Hudson Co. by the Amer
lean Locomotive Co., which are in
/ fact the largest in the world of that
| type, built the early part of this
| year, have proved so eminently sat
isfactory in hauling heavy coal ton
mage over Ararat Mountain, that an
order for four more has just been
placed. These will be equipped with
superheaters, a device causing the
steam on it's way from the boiler to
the cylinders to come in contact with
the escaping gases, raising the tenn
perature and increasing it's efficiency.
Seven oil burning locomotives of
large and modern design have also
been ordered for operation on our
Chateaugay Branch during the sum-
mer season. These engines are also
equipped with superheaters. They
will be used in certain parts of the
mountain territory to prevent the
possibility of fires caused by sparks,
and for the thorough protection of
the Forest Preserves.
A new steamer now under con-
struction at Baldwin for service on
Lake George in the season of 1911,
will be launched on December | .
The new steamer will be called The
Horicon," and will replace the old
wooden Horizon which was built in
1876, and placed in service in 1877.
The new steamer will be 23O.6 in
ches in length overall, SO inches eX-
treme breadth, will have three decks
similar to the Steamer Sycamore now
plying on the lake, a main deck, sa-
loon deck, and hurricane deck, din
ing room will have seating capacity
of one hundred people, and will be
located on main deck aft. The in
terror finish of the steamer will be
natural wood, butternut with cherry
trimmings, the decorations will be on
canvas of attractive design. Will be
equipped with two boilers, lobster re-
turn tubular type, 1916 in. in width
of front, 26 inches long. The en-
gine will be jet condensing YER
tical beam type, SO inch cylinder,
lO-inch stroke, patent feathering
wheels, sewage tanks, trimming
tanks, electric lighted throughout, in
cluding a powerful search light,
steered and heated by steam. The
vessel will be up to date in every
particular, and will have all the lat
est features known to modern ship
building.
The work on the New Fort Will
liam Henry Hotel and Hotel Cham
plain is progressing very rapidly.
The former is we'll under roof and the
Hotel Champlain will be within a
week. These will replace the houses
which were destroyed by fire and
will be ready for occupancy for the
summer of 1911. Each of the new
houses will be of adequate size,
modern in every particular, of abso-
lutely fire proof construction. Archi-
tecturally the hotels will be of long
and low appearance; the designs fol-
low those of the Elizabethan period,
with their tile roofs, attractive por-
ches, massive concrete walls, and
generally magnificent furnishings,
they will at once take high rank as
popular resorts meeting a long felt
want in the Adirondack Lake and
Mountain territory, and provide two
high class stopping points for tourist
and automobilist travelling through
the Adirondack region into Canada.
The houses will be operated on the
European plan.
