New York. April 21.—The Delaware & Hudson Company, which is the old est existing transportation company in the Western Hemisphere, will cele- - brate its'centennial with a dinner to a large number of invited guests to be t held at the Hotel Astor next Monday evening. The day wilt mark the one hundredth anniversary of the grantlug J of the company's charter by the State I of New York. ) Besides being the oldest existing transportation company, the Delaware' -and'Hudson also had built in England I ami brought over to New York the first steam locomotive to be seen on! flic American continent and tested the first steam locomotive to run on rails in America. It is further proposed to eommemo- 1 rate the centennial with the erection, of a marker upon the site - at Hones dnle. Pa., from which the first loco- * motive made! its start. For some time n representative of the company! lias been at work gathering data for erection of. the memorial. The original company was ineoriKa ra ted by tlie State legislature of New York April 28. 1833. Phillip Hone, for whom the town of Honesdale was named, was the first president of the company. ItCAlny of the same year n preliminary survey for a canal from the Hudson River to the Delaware and up the Laekawaxen to a point near, the coal mines at C.irixmdale was au thorized. The canal was completed in 1828. The first coal was carried from Carhondnle to Honesdale by wng o*i! hut this was not found profitable and the managers determined in l,H2(i to construct a railroad. Horatio Allen, one of the most dis tinguished engineers of his time, was commissioned b.v the company to go to England and inspect the operations of the new motive power which Ste phenson. the locomotive builder, had introduced. If liis judgment war ranted it, lie was to superintend the building of three engines suitable to the use of. the 10-mile railroad with which it was proposed to connect the mines in the Lackawanna valley and the canal. Allen met Stephenson and after wit nessing the practical results of the op erations on the English railway, he or dered engines of the type used there and bought the iron rails for the use of the American road. The first of these engines to reach America was the “Stourbridge Lion.” which arrived in New A'ork and was sent to Honesdale h.v boat. It had its first trial on August 9, 1829. Every body present believed that the im mense weight of tile engine would break down the road or that the curves of the road would cause the great machine to topple over into the creek 30 feet below. Allen himself was not to sure ol the success of the trial, so he determin ed to run the engine alone. He never had run a loeolotive or any other en gine before, but lie ran the “Stour bridfe Lion” throe miles and back to the place of starting, t -Much. <uf , success <)f this first 'American steam railroad was due t< Horatio .Vilen, who subsequently built tiie Sotltli Carolina railroad, from Charleston to Augusta, which, when completed, was the longest in thi . world. Allen was also consulting en gineer and for a time president of tin Erie railway, consulting engineer ol tiie Fannma railroad company, and near the close of his career consult ing engineer of the eompnny engage'*] in Imihling the famous East Rivei ' bridge to connect New A’ork and Brooklyn.
