INCE the Invention of the rail

consternation of lhe natives there has
always existed the greatest popular in

records have been made only to be
smashed until It would l*e difficult to
pick out a run and make the uncondi
tional statement that It was the great
est run ever made by a railroad train.
A disagreement sometimes arises even
as to what is a railroad train, for some
great examples of s|>eed are to credit
locomotives to which were attached
single c<Mi> hes. and some authorities do
cline to admit that such combinations
are trains. Americans and Englishmen
have always been and probably always
will be the leaders of the world In all
matters pertaining to railways and the
speed of trains. Between the two coun
tries there has always existed more or
less rivalry over the s|s-ed accomplish
ments of their respective locomotives,
and the rivalry will likely continue as
long as it Is possible to make improve
ments of any character. Perhaps Amer
