The organ recital in Burton Ave- Methodist Church on Monday even- ing, which was advertised to be the levent of the season, fully bore out the truth of the assertion. The build- ing was packed to the doors, stand- ing room being at a premium. A long and attractive program of I7 numbers riveted the attention of the audience to the close. Among those who took part were: Prof. H. M. lFletcher, Miss ~Williams and Mr. `Robinson, all of Toronto, Dr. Arnall, Mrs. A, S. Burton and the church choir. The new organ has been in- stalled under the most favorable aus- pices, the whole reecting great credit on the makers, the church management, and the program com- mittee. Prof. Fletcher's work, also, [is worthy of especial mention. Fl`! `O I 5 -7`. --~..- ---v-.--V- . The railway officials of all roadsi. iare considering a number of proposi- tions passed upon at the annual ,meeting of the railway engineers and `maintenance of way. A greater safe- ity in operating trains was the key- inote of the remarksof those present. .-The scheme for improvement in- cludes a daily inspection by track- menover their districts, with the ob- ject of discovering any change in condition or movement of superior Isubstructure, damage from drift, high water, falling objects, broken ior badly damaged ties or missing ivbolts or nuts. Once a month bridge- men will examine every part of the` ibridge to detect excessive deteriora- |tion, crushing or breaking of the `masonry work, the undermining of foundations, or any other defects. In addition to this, an experienced en- gineer will make two, examinations a | year. It is a remarkable truth, and might be protable in helping us to make fair allowance for the difference be- tween the temperaments of different men--that every locomotive engine running on a railway has a distmct ,individuality and character of its iown. It is perfectly well known to ex- ;perienced practical engineers that if la dozen different locomotive engines `were made at the same time, of th.e `same power, for the same purpose, of the same materials, in the same factory, each of those locomotive engines would come out with its own peculiar whims and ways, only ascer- tainable by experience. gouuooouoououoouuuuouuououuboooooooooo1 One engine will take a great meal of coal and water at once; another will not hear of such a thing, but will insist on being coaxed by spade- fuls and bucketfuls. One is disposed to start off, when required, at the top of his speed; another must have a little time to warm to his work, and to get well into it. -- .. --- ---vv -- These peculiarities are so accurate- ly mastered by iskilful drivers that only particular men can persuade particular enginesto do their best. It would seem as if some, of these excellent monsters declared, on being brought out of the s_hed,v"`If it's Smith who is to drive me, I won't go. -If it s.my friend Stokes I` am agreeable to anything! Ail !_,, -- .,u_ .......v -- -..J ...-bu All locomotives engines are low- spirited in damp and foggy weather. They have a great" satisfaction in their work when the air is crisp and frosty.
