fair proportion of the through traffic should not seek
this avenue between the West and the Atlantic.

When IL borne In mind that the whole tide Of pleasure

that the interchange OF products between warmer aud

this communication can hardly be overra,ed
In regard to the traffic OF this route from the Auantic

in local travel the routes through much moro
thicAly settled country but they do claim for greet
superiority In local freights. Upon this point shey

Looking upon the map, IL will be seen that tho
average distance between the Buffalo and Albany and
the New York and Erie Ia about 20 miles between tho
Pepnsylysnis Central and Baltimore and Ohio, about
the same while space Ia left between the New-York
and Erie and Pennsylvania Central, OF about 80
miles. The proposed new Inns occupies about the
center Of this space Thus when this line v com
