While in the city we had an oppor-
tunity to witness the mammoth parade
which was the opening of the Pageant
of Progress. The parade was over
six miles in length, and 1t required
one hour and forty-fye minutes to
pass given point. OF the many in
teresting exhibits in the parade and on
the Municipal Pier is the first passen-
ger train of the New York Central rail-
way company. The engine is very
| small affair and the coaches looked
more like the old stage coach. Ten
miles an hour was the speed of the
train. Comparing this little engine
with the new type OF passenger en-
gine used by the New York Central,
one cannot help but feel that remark
able progress has been made in the de-
velopment of rail transportation. 1t
is estimated that a million and half
of people witnessed the parade, and
during the day nearly 100000. paid
admission to the Municipal Pier to take
in the big show.
