BUFFALO, Jan. q, 1915.
On Thursday morning party o; gentlemen, by
special invitation of the Directors of the ''Attica
and Buffalo and Tonawanda Railroad Cornpa-
MES, left this city on experimental trip to Ro-
chester, in the splendid cars of the Attica and
Buffalo Company.
Leaving the depot here, a, - minutes past 8,
we arrived in front of the United States Hotel, in
Rochester, ct precisely - minutes pasta. P. NJ,
being just hours and ? minutes running time
This might have been accomplished in q shorter
space, but the Attica and Buffalo cars being
much higher from the rails than the carr used on
the Gonawanda Road, 1t was not deemed prudent
to crowd; but the time in which We were convey
ed The whole distance has demonstrated that 4 J
hours viii ordinarily be sufficient time between the
two citics; distance 70 mics
Gentlemen more conversant with such matters
than myself, are of opinion that the nail can be
transported from Albany to Buffalo with ease in
% hours. The distance by Railroad is 32l miles :;
consequently, if the train should proceed at the
present ordinary ratc--l9 miles per hour-t would

for stops to wood and water, etc. No time will
be required for changing mails, as, an informed
The ray bags will be assorted in the mai-car al
tacied TO the train; and the bags for all the large
places betwceR Albany and Buffalo will be made
up at each end Of the line. Say Q hours down he
River, and we with you in 3 hours-dstance
i81 nsiles. This will be fast enough to please the
most invetCr2te grumbler.
There is to be Convection at Albany next
Wednesday, of delegates from all the Railroad
Companies fom here ts Boston. At this meeting
understand, plan will be proposed, and hope
adopted to run the second cias, carS-so called
in train By themselves; the FIRST class to be the
maii--and of course the Smijt-train. Passen-
gers who are in hurry will cf course take the lat
ter and leave to those who have mere leisure the
accommodation train. In my Judgement the two
should never have been run together.
! send you herewith toe proceedings of meet
ing held at the American Hotel in this city, after
the return of our party, Friday eVening, which
hope you will publish in this connection, that
your citizens may see what Boston is likely to do
while they slumber, or only awaken to mix this to
them to vital, subject with politics. Believe me,
the celebration otthe mingng Of the waters Of the
Great Lakes with the water Of the Z" Boston Tea
pot" BY steam, will be second only TO the ce!e-
bration of the completion of the Erie Canal"
VIII your citizens never awaken to the import
ance of q road down the river from Albany, even
TO The heart of the metropolis
Here let me say that il is nearer from New York
to Dunkrk via Buffalo, (f the New York and Erie
Rail Road should branch of from Hornclsyille to
Attica) by "a miles, than by the as al present
located and Buffalo ha,bor is always open as late
in the fall, and earlier in the spring seven years
out of eight.
You must stir up your citizens in this matter.

From the Eufao Commercial of The 18th nit.
Last evening several of our citizens and those
who mad gone on the excursion met their Rcches-
ter fre nds, who had returned with them, at the
American Hotel, and after some time spent in
cal converse, in order to give formal expression
to their opinions organized into meeting BY calling
Hon. S. WlLKgsoN to the Chair, and appointing
JAS. L. BARTON, ESQ. Secretary On motion the
Chair appointed committee consisting of his Hon
or the Mayor, Hon. F. WuurLEsEY of Roche..
ter, and E. r. JEwETT of Buffalo, committee to

meeting The committee reported the following
resolutions. which were unanimously adopted:

JAS L. BARTON, Secretary.
These resolutions certainly do not exaggerate
the importance of the event TO which they relate.
The ultimate beneficial consequences 20 both Bos
Ton and New-Engand and Buffalo and the West
which will result from the completion of this
mighty enterprise, can scarcely be estimated, and
is fitting that it should be commemorased in a
formal and appropriate manner.
