At the junction the Grand Trunk engine was detached, and one of the engines of the Credit Valley road took its place. The journey was then resumed, and-the new line run over without any hitch. Returning about 6p. m. to the junction, the Credit Valley. engine was detached, leaving the car on the Credit Valley track about four or five hundred feet away from the switch to await the Grand Trunk-engine which was to take it back to the station. As it was expected some time would. elapse before the engine arrived, the interval‘was filled up with con- gratulatory speechmaking. \Vhile this was goingon the Grank:.'1‘runk engine which had been sent for the party suddenly. appeared going at a very high rate of speed.
