1112 - L. Sept. 20:4/3 - A magnificent service of plate has been on display
at Ball, Black, and Company. It surpasses any piece of artistic workman- .

The service consists of four vegetable dishes, four wire coolers,
three salvers, and other articles of solid silver, richly gilt and beau- . . .
tifully chased together with a magnificent shaft of a column, representing
in a scale of feet 200 miles of the Atlantic and Great Western railroad'
which was completed in 200 days.
Thirty thousand words and figures are on it, and every grade in
the road is distinctly indicated. Five months were spent in engraving it
at a cost of $15,000 in specie. It is to be presented to James McHenry. . . . .
as a tribute to his engineering skill. (7)
