u We have recently noticed in several jour
mails what purports to be statement of the re-
lative length of two proposed Railroad routes,
between the city of New York and Chicago;
one by way of Albany, Niagara, Canada and
Detroit; the other by the South shore of Lake
Erie and the Michigan Southern and Northern
Indiana Railroads. These estimates are on an
erroneous basis. They give the distances be-
tween New York and Michiqan City, assuming
the latter as point common to the two routes.
But the quick or express trains of the Southern
route win not 60 to Chicago by way of Michi-
gan City, but by direct line south Of that
point, and six miles shorter. The true distan
ces by each route are as follows:
