ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN Rail-
RoAD-REoENT IMPROVEMENTS. At
lantic and Great Western Railway has now
become one of the permanently established
through routes of travel and trade between
the East and West. This great broad
gauge enterprise was commenced only
six years ago, aud there are now five hun
dred and seven miles of the line in full
operation. In variety Of scenery and pic
turesque views, the route traversed by this
road is not surpassed by any other portion
Of the American continent. The road itself
Is In most admirable condition, and the
rolling-stock superior TO the majority of
railroads in the country, while the station
depots and eatlng-houses at Urbana, Mans
field and Meadville are an immense credit
to the road, At present all changes be-
tween Cincinnati and New York are made
at Meadvile, and not at Salamanca, as here
tofore. This Is much needed improve
ment.
| Two trains day leave Dayton for the
East. The sleeping cars run through from
Cincinnati to Meadville, and from Meadvillc
to New York, two of them leaving Cincin-
natl every evening. The company have
now twenty new passenger coaches ready
to be put on the road when the several
changes In the timetable are made. We
are assured that these coaches surpass In
elegance and richness of upholstery, finish
Of woodwork, etc any passenger coaches
In the country. There are also added to
the road six new sleeping cars. These
magnificent cars are furnished with the
finest of linen sheets, plllow-slips, hair and
spring mattresses, etc. On all the cars oil
this road there has been introduced new
plan for ventilating, certainly very COM
plete, for the entire exclusion of dust and
cinders and the Introduction of fresh and
wholesome air.
The baggage and express cars run
through from Cincinnati 10 New York
> without change, a fact worthy to be noticed
Every facility is brought into requistior
!. to secure the comfort and convenience o.
passengers, aud at the same time afford
them rapid and uninterrupted transit tc
the Eastern cities. Our citizens may con.
gratulate themselves OH this valuable ant
important acquisition TO our already very
superior railroad facilities.
