The RAIL FAREs TO TIE Wharf.-The Ohio and

Cincinnati at the uniform rate of 81 80. The
Consolidated Central line from Albany to Buffalo

Altogether the charge from New York to Cincin
natl is Rl5 The Buffalo and New York City
road, pta Hornclsvillc, charges 81 so TO Buffalo;
the Erie road the same, believe 10 Dunkirk.
So we have here three routes to the Lake, and at

the same aggregate charge.
A the summer travel advances we shall have
more competition in additional track on part
of the Central line, and by the opening of the Ca

a further reduction Of fare. The Central people

the New York City and Buffalo Company will be
