GREAT RAILWAY PAGEANT.
LIVERPOOL TO CELEBRATE INTERESTING CENTENARY.
George's Hall, Liverpool. The railway fair has been designed to present a complete picture of the evolution of railways, and will be the most notable technical exposi

Wavertree Playground-a park of 100 acres there will be a great railway fair of the most modern British and foreign locomotives and rolling stock, and a light railway running round the playground has been constructed to carry running models of the "Rocket, Nor thumbria," and other early engines, drawing exact replicas of the initial coaches. Each evening a pageant depicting the exple h of transport from the cave-age to the aeroplane will be staged on the same ground.
Ohlo's Horse-Power Railway. "It was," as he says, "the Liver pool and Manchester Railway which was the first railway, as we under stand the term, in the world. Its opening, on September 15, 1830, brought in a new era and wrought a tremendous social revolution. It is true that it was antedated by the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway, opened on May 3, 1630, a very small affair with only one locomotive, also by the Baltimore and Ohio Hailway, a fifteen-mile section of which was opened on May 22 of the same year, but the former cannot by the wildest atretch of imagination be described as

A light railway will run round an extensive enclosure at Wavertree,
and on it will ran a model of one of the original engines drawing a train of coaches exactly like those used when the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was started a hundred years ago. Visitors will be allowed to travel on this railway and tickets will be issued which are exact replicas of the original tickets.
On sidings will be a representa- tive selection of the very latest British and foreign locomotives and rolling stock. There will be cigh- teen of the most modern engines, together with the latest types of restaurant cars and other luxurious. ly-appointed saloons..
