Dangerous Work.
The building of the read has been
a tremendous task, and during the
hurricane season, dangerous one.
Since February 6, 1898, the line mas
been open to Knights Key, dot OF
land eighteen miles out in the Gulf
of Mexico.
After crossing thirty mile arm Of
the Everglades on an embankment
built by dredges out of the blue mud
Of the swamp, the railroad starts out
on it's voyage over succession Of
coral rock keys separated by narrow
straits of gulf water scarcely wider
than creeks. Key Largo, twenty seven
miles long, is crossed, and then the
road approaches Long Key. Thence
out upon the longest viaduct Of the
route-two miles of reinforced concrete
abutments and arches, holding the
track thirty-one feet above blue wa
ter.
From Knights Key to Big Pine Key
the most difficult part of the work
was reacted. in this stretch CO fo;--
teen miles are an aggregate Of four
miles of bridge, in water thirty feet
deep and very rough during storms in
addition to being constantly agitated
by fierce tidal currents. Then to Key
West, the road runs along the backs
Of large islands separated by deep, but
not wide channels.

about twenty minutes, and had never
seen her before the afternoon of the

Hampton, Feb. 2o.-The term Of the
district that has been in session for the
past two or more weeks will probably
come to an end some day during the
present week. The term has not been
a very eventful ore as few cases of i'm

The case Of George E. Ralfhill vs..

tried to a jury, but the verdict was set
aside and it may be tried at later

The case of BOWS Driving Club VS..

TO RIVERSIDES
BY2 TALLY
City Champs Poor in Shoot
ing But Pass In Regular
WhirIWind Fashion.
ALLEN AND BURNS STAR

Poor shooting characterized the
work of the Riverside basketball
team Saturday night when they we're
stacked up against the Aronson A.
A, of Newark, on the Auditorium
court. However, the "Rivies" recov-
cred their shooting eye in time to
cop the bacon from the jaws of the
Newark aggregation, who were able
to outpoint the city champions in the
first administration by a 1911 tally.
In the final stanZa the McCreery clan
romped away from their ambitious
a 1922 score.
1t was not because the visitors
played better ball in the first period
that they outpointed the locals. Nc
Creery was not shooting right and
that's why the Perth Amboyans held
the lower end of the score in the
opening half. AS far as passing went
the Riversides showed superiority at
every stage of the fray, which proved
to the liking Of the audience.
Thorn, who showed calibre with
the old time Kingwoods, worked as
guard against Durham. Thorn made
several great shots. However, he
took too many chances and while he
scored four baskets against the same
9b5mbe-St2i1ied by Durham, "Corky"
was by no means outplayed. Burns
and Allen played in great style as
guards. breaking up many plays and
passing in clever style. Bill Reyn-
Odds kept up his fine playing and
proved a great factor In scoring
fouls. His foul shooting was encour-
aging to the supporters of the Local
clan.

Tottenville, Dec. 23.-His Honor
Chris Faist made another appear
ance in this vicinity Saturday night
and duplicated his usual stunt of
taking home the bacon, this time at
the expense of the fast Tottenviile
A. C. Both aggregations had their
regular makeups in action and the
battle was fought hard every min
ute of it's duration. Willis Larkin's
bunch found hat their proposition
was as difficult as ever, but made a
desperate attempt to keep the score
close and they managed to accom-
plish this as but thirteen points kept
them from equalling their oppon-
eDt's tally, the final marks being
1922.
The initial period resulted 1922
in favor of the New York boys, but
the final administration found the
travelling even, the Trinity's scoring
II counters against the N num-
Der recorded by the locals.
The battle was marked by brilliant
passing on the part Of either comb
nation. Every one of the Trinity's
scored at least four times from the
field, thus accounting for the large
core.
