A. Stone IT, President OF the Cleveland, Ptnsvllle,
and Ashsbula Railroad wrtes Feb. 70, that we nave
been misinIoTned about drOvers' accommodations on
that road The fact IT, we never alluded 10 Una. rEau
We have heard more complaints from droyers about
the Lake Shore Road han any other; and only last
week we we're assured by drover that there was no
wafer III the caboose and he became 60 teverisn apd
thirsty, that tie freely offered to pay htty Cents Tor
qDart Of cold water. Yet Mr.. Stone says; There
better csbooses in the United States than ours
They kept clean and perfect in their construction
aid much more comfortable to the drover, than hrst
cass passenger cars, and there is always one that
accompanies tdCu ktDCh tIhn. uIO'oio ~ hoo ~
IL care and free in regular passenger trains
This is doubtleis all true regards the Cleveland
Pansyille and Ashtabua Road bat is It IN regard
10 the road from Erie to Buffalo, which is the one
know among drovers as the Lake Shore Road. We
heyer lad OIL particle Of will toward THE road, or
any other and only state TIE grievances OF drovers,
that the railroad managers may zee where Improve
ments are needed for their own benefit. With this
view we Low state that we have been urged by at
least dozen dovers during the present market TO Try
TO induce be Lake Shore Road TO give greater speed
10 tier stock taDs that they cannot stand less than
eigh miles an hour and the long deenons at all the
staons Drovers say that there no express stock
drains on that ROAD, and that cattle cars are sent
by ordinary freight Trains and that the frequent stops
injurious TO stock and that 1t IL entirely wing 70
this and other dsareeabes that drovers take the Gan
ada route, which certainly is not favorite one with
dIOyers Mr. Stone further says: There ls no one
thrg pertaining carry ing business that we have
given more attention to than the transportation OF
stock, the way Of carrying and the droyers com,
fortably and promptly" This may be all true, and
yet there may be some portion OF the Lake shore
Road" 20 conducted that it damages bic own; and we
think il for bis interest TO listen TO some OF the hard
things said and allow state Of things TO exist that
may drive stock through Canada. 10 conclusion, we
now state that dIovers that there has lately
been very great Improvement 10 ca0ooee acconlmo-
daoDs for which they AJAX us to express their thank
fuItss TO Mr. Stone and his associates. DrOvers by
way Of Suspension Bridge complain of very small
meannsss there. They loaded with their stock On
this s6e but TO get their return pass have u recross
he bridge 10 the railroad office, for which they are
charged twenty. five cents toll. The Fort Wayne
road contracted ths week at SIS car, and delivered
cattle Ill Buffalo ahead of other roads at so car
Perhaps it won't do it again. The tram lott Chlcago
at D. m. ard arrived next day az p M at Creetl.ne,
279 miles Thence To Boifalo, about $50 mles,
twenty ven hours. This route is spoken of by
the droyeTs in the highest terms, with the exception OF
beipg from p. m. TO b a. M, making the run IRON
Cleveland TO Bufalo-four hours OF which time ID
tax en- up between Dunkifk and B0islo. We respect
ftllv az ra1lr IL a
ground for complaint; and that Notwithstanding the
fact that they have gwen more attention 10 the
transportation of stock, In the way OF carrying 1t
O. and drovers comfortably and prompt, than they
have to any other part of the carry ing business
if there is not for them TO pay still further aten-
ton the constant appeals of the drovers for little
more speed Illustrative OF "pro rata" Drovtrs
cay that Western drover se a carload OF cattle
at Albany for SIS lees tran central New fork drover
can se exact counterpart because his freight IN
proportion that much cheaper. The Erie Road brought
down week ~ of beefcstte Ill cara OF sheep,
cars of hogs of horses lOi cars of through
freight Total 203 IL is very gratifying not 10
hear single grumble from all the drovers over this
road except against the stock agent at this end of the
lie, who needs somebody after him with sharp
SALES or CATTLE.
The grade of quality averages much lower this
week than last, and some that would have ranked as
medium then, will work first class now IL viii be
