A slot about three-quarters of an inch wide runs between the tracks, and through it the clamp of the dummy or grip car is operated...
...been given to the Harvard Annex, for the establishment of a fund, the income of which is to be devoted to a prize scholarship for the "Harvard examination of women." The gift was made through the medium of the N. Y. Evening Post, but the giver has kept his name a secret. The examinations to the support of which the fund is given, are instituted under the direction of Harvard University, and the young ladies who pass them are given a certificate as a testimony of their ability. This certificate is accepted in place of entrance examinations in the chief...
