 On Exhibition h Chicago
 At Pageant Of Progress
CBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Aug. 1-Great crowds are attending the Pageant of Prog ress now being held in this city, and which was formally opened by Vice President Coolidge pressing an electric key in Boston on Saturday. The pageant is the most pretentious show of it's kind to be held in this city since the Columbian exposition in 1893.
 The crowds seem chiefly attracted by the exhibits representing the won derful advance which has been made in railroad transportation. The first engine and coaches operated in this country are on display. They rep resent the first train to be run com mercially in America The exhibit consist of an engine and five coaches, the latter being built somewhat like the then prevailing style of stage coach. The engine is known as the Dewitt Clinton engine, and when commissioned was hailed as a remarkable mechanical achievement, because it managed to haul it's stage coach cars at somewhat under ten miles per hour
 At the opposite pole of rail prog ress the pageant has on exhibition engine No. 999 of the New York Central road This engine established the record for speedy railroad runs twenty-eight years ago when it com pleted trip between New York City and Buffalo at an average speed of 112 miles per hour. This record has stood ever since. and the latter day speed marvels of the rail still bow to the superiority of old 999 a much smaller and less powerful engine in every particular when compared with the giant rail horses used in passenger traffic today.
