She lay at Mare Islana six vears, and the only work she had to do in that time was to take Queen Emma to the islands. “In 1870 she was sold to George Howe & Co., and fitted as a sailing vessel at an enormous expense.

Great Advantages in Time and Oper- ating Exp nscs Expected 10 Result. Within the next week President Hunt- ington of the Southern Pacific Company will probably decide when the work of closing the gap on the coast division be- tween Surf and Ellwood is to begin. He left yesterday morning for a trip of in- spection of the country which is to be opened up by the proposed extension, and will be gone about a week. Heis accom- panied by H. E. Huntington, Thedijstance tha: remains to be bu It on this line 1n order to make 1t a through route to Los Angeles is about sixty riles. It will be cne of the most expensive pieces of railroad construction for the dis- tance in the State, and 1t is this fact that has prevenied the company from com- pleting the line earlier. Among other thinzs, it will require no less than twenty- seven iron bridges across the numerous gulches that abound in that section, and the work will consist very largely of cut- ting and filling, always more or less ex- pensive 1n railroad construetion, It is estimated that the cost of building the link of sixty miles will be between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000, or between $40,000 and $50,000a mile, while the average cost of ruilroad building on le ground is about §20,000 a mile. But despite this heavy cost of construc- tion, the enterprise will be a profitable one to the comany, for the reason that it will greatly shorten the time between San Francisco and Los Angeles and all points south, though it will not lessen the actual distance between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is 482 miles over the South- ern Pacific Railroad from this City to the metropoiis of the southern part of the State, and by the proposed coast line it will be 488, or six miles more. The greut advantage of the route via San Luis Obispoand Santa Barbara lies 1n the absence of any lueg grades. Their resence on the regular Southern Pacific ailroad greasly ffecis the time that is made on the road, and thereby increases the cost of operation. At the present time it takes the Southern Pacific over- iand train about twenty-two and a half hours to make the trip from this City to Los Angeles. When this train goes via Santa Barbara the time will not exceed seventeen hours, thus saving five hours; and the same economy in time will be shown on the Los Angeles express, which now makes the run in twenty and a half hours, The point most largely benefited by the new order of things when it is insti- tuted will be Santa Barbara. The short- est time between that point and San Fran- cisco is now about twenty-three and a half hours, whicu, when the Slg.il closed and trains are run through to Santa Barbara from San Francisco, will be reduced to thirteen hours, or to nearly half the time. Should Mr. Huntington decide favora- bly on the proposition of beginning work on the gap, it is possible to close it ana have trains in_operation over it by tne 1st of October, His decision will probably be made known shortly after his return to this City. London has an area of 688 square miles, Greater New York will have an area of 359 square miles. | along togethe: REMEMBERED THE DAY OF LEXINGTON Exercises by the Sons of the American Reve- lution.

Horace Davis made un address in honor of the occasion. Tersely and graphically he described the raid of General Gage and its repulse by the loyal colonists, inciud- ing the brave and patriotic volunteers trom historic Lexington, The paper of the evening was by Colonel 4. D. Cutler. It was read by Joun R, Robinson, and very appropriate was the selection of the reader, for Mr. Robinson is a son of a Kevolutionary soldier and is | 82 years and 9 months old. His readine was marked by force and expression and be was frequently interrupted with, ap- | plause. Speaking of the Puritans Colonel Cutler said in his paper: The same spirit of ntolerance and obatinacy that is now common to New England people distinguished them then, and was doubtiess the foundation of much of their trouble. They | inherited it, however, tfrom the mother coun- try. If George I11 had granted them the free use of ten and reveuue stamps we might be now peaceful subjecis of Mrs. Guelph, wearing our trousers turied up at all times without criticism, and marryiug our daughters to princelings and dukelets with impunity. it was the King allowed the free distilla“ion of rum, to which may be athiibuted mueh of our Puritan success with the aborieine. Wh.le it Dr. Miles’ may be agreed with John Eiliott, “O that you | bad converted some before vou had slain auy,” it1s nevertheiess true that mostof the grim old Puritans had more liking ior an In- dian dead thau alive and couveried. Anyhow the psalmbook, rum bottle and gun went s trinity of forces that ul mately settied both the Inaians and New Eng- iand. Of the glory of modern Lexington the paper speaks of follow: 1n 1821 her committee of six reported a sys- tem of State schools that was finally adopted by the Legislature of Massachusetis and has | been practically in force to the present time, and ou which hias been patterned most of the schooi systems of the Middle, Western and Pa- cific States. tabiished there in 1837, and therefrom and on the same general basis has sprung ail the normal sehools of the coun try.
