the travelling community of the northwest

SUMMER ARRANGEMENT.
The recent "Summer Arrangement
adopted by the Michigan Central, Great
Western and connecting lines, constituting
the Great Central Route" for the running
sof passenger trains through from Chicago
to all points East, is one that will prove
immensely popular The new time of de-
parture, is as follows:

The above trains, it will be seen, all leave
at convenient hours and are 50 timed as to
afford passengers nights of undisturbed
rest, and meals at firstclass stations at reg
.ular intervals. o.
All of the above trains likewise make
direct and separate connections to points
East, thus giving Four DAILY THROUGH
TRAINS FROM CHICAGO (or one more than.
any eastern line,) to Detroit, Niagara
Falls, Buffalo, New y ork, Boston, and
other cities.
The 4.i5 P. NJ. FAST EXPRESS leaves.

Suspension Bridge at 1880 and Buffalo at
800 the same afternoon; annexes another
magnificent sleeping car at Rochester,
and goes through without change to
New York arriving there at 100 am,
second day.

at 1000 D. m, and Boston at midnight.
Passengers going to any local points along
the line of the New York Central, will find
this train especially convenient, as it reach
es all such places IN the day time. az
I'VE particularly invite alliour readers to
carefully peruse and study the attractive
points of the above schedule. oarrange-
ment could possibly have been conceived
or fixed upon which could conduce in a
greater degree to the comfort, health and
enjoyment of a trip through from Chicago
to New York or intermediate cities.
TRACK, PASSENGER EQUIPMENT, &C.
The conversion of the railway track
of the Canada Great Western to a uniform
width of guage, by the recent laying down
and completion of third rail between
Windsor and Buffalo, has practically made
this route ia continuous rail line to New
York. The entire superstructure of this
consolidated route is substantially built
solid, smooth, and kept up to the highest
possible standard of efficiency. Thus the

most rapid attainable speed over this thor
oughfare is neither inconsistent with safety
or comfort, while the adoption of the best
system of modern car ventilation affords
the passenger an abundance of air, cool
pure and free from dust. ~ -
The passenger equipment of the Mich
gan Central and its immediate connection
the Great Western is unsurpassed for com
pleteness by that of any other road in tn
United States. In massive strength, roomi
ness, elegant finish and every other frs
class requisite, the coaches of these road
are perfect models. In addition to the ney
cars being constantly built at the machin
shops and put in service, the Companle
