Its connections the shortest ana most AZ
tractive route to all Eastern towns ana
cities. It offers TO the travelling public
two very important advantages which are
shared by no other competing lines. ~ IL
the shortest all rail route by sixty miles
connecting the West with the sea6oaro,
and the fact that passengers can go the en-
tire distance without intermediate cnange,
constitutes an especially inviting feature
for families, or ladies travelling alone.

q We wish to say word of the Hotels and
Eating Houses located along this route be-
tween Chicago, Philadelphia and New
York. Nothing tends, more to build up
the popularity Of a great thoroughfare or
establish its merits so deeply In the favor
of the public than good meals provided at
convenient places. In this important re-
spect the Pittsburgh g. Fort Wayne route
ola Allentown or Philadelphia is excelled
by no other on the continent. The dining
stations at Plymouth, Fort Wayne, Crest
line and Alliance are worthy of all praise
All are neatly kept, the tablea literally
supplied, and the food well cooked and
promptly served. They are not surpassed
by any first class metropolitan hotel. The
continental at Crestline was built at
cost to the Pittsburgh g Fort Wayne Co,
of over 100000 and is admirable In all its
appointments The Union Depot Hotel
al, Pittsburgh (erected by the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad Company at a cost of
about $125, 000,) Is a splendid structure and
provides an unequalled bill of fare and
sleeping accommodations at prices merely
nominal. The hotels at Altoona, Harris
burg and Latrobe are alike famous for the
substantials and delicacies of cuisine they
afford to hungry passengers. Plenty Of
time is given at ali these points to eat
T" square meal :" and the cry of "all aboard "
Is never signal for "hurry shgrry," con,
fusion and half satisfied appetites. ~
