Indeed, Wills, tho coaches were sufficiently good
and comfortable, from one end OF he line 10 the
other the tesus were literally run down and N

extra service from them by the immense amount
Of travelling over the route, this season. Hence,
failures to get through in time for the cars, rom

An this Of course differed very widely from
what we had been prepared to expect by the
flaming hand bills Of the Company, announcing
the superior advantages Of the line and the re,
