Text Appearing Before Image:
practice of getting two rides, not continuous, for one nickel, made some sort of change necessary, and the ticket shown in our engraving is the result. In form it differs only in the arrangement of the figures. It is a neat affair, not too large, and elastic enough for general use without being too general in its terms.
Superintendent Pearce, of the Negaunee & Ish-peming Electric Railway, is a lucky man. He recently drew a $135 bicycle and a horse and cutter at a raffle, at the expense of one dollar.

Street Railway Review
Text Appearing After Image:
SOME FINE SPECIAL TRACK WORK AT ROCHESTER. The corner of State, Exchange and Main streets, at Rochester, N. Y., is the down town terminus of twenty-two lines. Four thousand cars pass that point daily. President J. N. Beckley, of the Rochester Railway Company, therefore planned wisely and well when he made arrangements for some special work, that probably has no equal in this country. The contract with the Johnson Company called for a double track crossing, with switches both ways. The general plan of the crossing is shown in our engraving, made from a photograph taken before the paving was laid. The guard rails stand 10½ inches above the ties at the highest point of the flange. They have electrically welded chairs three feet apart, and the rails together with the chairs weigh 100 pounds to the yard. The chairs have a bearing on the ties of 8
by 10 inches.
