Indianapolis Journal, Aug. 20 1 1 Is reported that the committee on transportation awards of the Pan-American exposition has agreed to recommend that no award be made for any of tbe railroad exhibit. This action Is said to be the result of the conclusion that the entire exhibit is trivial and unworthy of official notice.

The Lake Shore road at the present time has plenty of cars, but is short of motive power, which has resulted in a congestion of business. At the Ash tabula yards one day last week there were over eleven hundred cars standing on sidetracks for lack of power to forward thcu. Tbe Wabash extension from Mont- pelier to Toledo is to be completed bv Nov. 1 next. This new line will make a strong competition with the Lake Shore, but It will be some time before the new line can approach the per fection of the air line of the Lake Shore road.
