A Lively Race.
There was considerable excitement at
tendant upon the first fast trains over
the Burlington and Union Pacific , as
they approached Denver , Monday. For
about fifty miles the smoke on the en
gines on both trains could be seen , each
by the other , and a lively race ensued
between the two flyers to see who could
get into Denver first , as the roads use
joint track lor a number of miles. The
Burlington approached the crossing first ,
but as the man in charge at the gate is a
Union Pacific man and the Union Pacific
train could be seen approaching , he
threw the switch for the Union Pacific
train and shut out the Burlington , which
was really entitled to the track and then
would have gotten into Denver ahead.
As it was , it was practically a dead heat ,
as the Burlington arrived in Denver just
immediately behind the other , notwith
standing the enforced delay. The trains
were on time.
On Tuesday the Burlington was on
time again , but the Union Pacific was
three hours late , and only had one pas
senger to each car on the train.
