MICHIGAN CENTRAL RAILROAD.

MICHIGAN CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Extraordinary Inducements 90 Pass
engers Going East Via the Great Gen.
trail Route.
The Michigan Central is justly consid-
cred THE MODEL ROAD of the West, II not
OF the continent. Its efforts are strenuous
and incesSant 10 merit the public conf
dence and good will, and in return, no
road receives more liberal share OF
patrOnage. There is no scientific discoy-
erv that can render iron track more smooth,
durable and solid-no modern improve
ment that can add strength, better yentlla-
ton and more comfort TO passenger coach
es-no ingenious appliance that can make
dormitories on wheels more magnificent,
desirable and luxurious-which the Michi-
gan Central has not adopted for the benefit
Of its patrons, regardless of cost Rare
practical sense, energy, enterprise, tact,
liberllity, good faith and executive skili
characterizes the operation of this road in
all its business details. AT its head IS a
conservative, whose ambition Is to lead in
the van of progress, not follow in path
marked out by others. Its officers are ever
on me alert, studying, planning and per-
fecting new improvements and combina-
tons to enhance the comfort, speed and
safety of railway travel, and give to the
public still greater facilities than it has
ever before enjoyed. To the practical
sagacity of Superindent Rice of the Michi-
gan Central, Thomas Swinyard, General
Manager of the Canada Great Western,
and the wide-awalSe officers of the passen-
ger agencies of these roads in Chicago,
the travelling community of the northwest
are under renewed and especial obligations
for the convenience, comfort, and high rate
of speed guaranteed by the newly perfected
time schedule of the combined roads, which
went into effect on the 18th instant.
SUMNER ADVANCEMENT.
The recent Summer Arrangement :"
adopted by the Michigan Central, Great
Western and connecting lines, constituting
the Great Central Route, for the running
of passenger trains through from Chicago
To all points East, is one that will prove
INN ensely popular. The new time of de-
partuIe, is as follows:
-an n NEW YORK EXPRESS.
''o' h' NJ Sundays excepted
a.oa ~ DAY EXPRESS.
"''o IL ne Sundays excepted.
- a, n. FAsr ExPRESs
f'i' Ne Saturdays excepted.
a.,a ID NJ Is NIGHT EXPRESS.
Or" H - ~ Sat and Sun. exc'p'd.
The above trains, it will be seen, all leave
at convenient hours, and are so timed as to
afford passengers, nights of undisturbed
rest, and meals at first-clasS stations at reg
ular intervals
All of the above trains likewise make
direct and separate connections TO points
East, thus giving FoUR DAILY THRoUGH
TRAINS FROM CHICAGO tor OnS more than
any eastern line,) TO Detroit, Niagara
Falls, Buffalo, New York, Boston, and
other cities.
The Ills p. VI. FAST EXPRESS leaves
Chicago with Pullman Sleeping Car at
tached; stops for supper at Niles; runs
through without change of cars or baggage
to London (breakfast) at 500 a. m; reaches
Suspension Bridge at 1:30 and Buffalo at

magnificent sleeping car at Rochester,
and goes through without change to
New York arriving there at 200 a. M,

Rochester next morning at 500 a. m,
(Pullman's Palace Sleeping Coaches run
ming from Detroit to Rochester without

at 1000 p NJ, 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
Is all such places an the day time.
We particularly invite all our readers TO
carefully peruse and study the attractive
points of the above schedule. No arrange
ment could possibly have been conceived
or fixed upon which could conduce in q
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 tracl
of the Canada Great Western to uniform
width of guage, by the recent laying dowr
and completion of third rail between
Windsor and Buffalo, has practically mad,
this route continuous rail line to New
York The entire superstructure of thi
consolidated route is substantially built
solid, smooth, and kept up to the highes
possible standard of efficiency. Thus. tn
most rapid attainable speed over this thor
Oughfare is neither inconsistent with ssfet,
or comfort, while the adoption of the bes
system of modern car ventilation afford
the passenger an abundance of air, COO
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, foomi
ness, elegant finish and every other frs
class requisite, the coaches of these road
are perfect models In addition to the ne,
cars being constantly built at the nlachin
shops and put in service, the Companie
have just enlarged and improved twenty
five of their older day cars, which hay
been newly rooted after the pattern of s.
loon cars, and are the highest now running
The interior of each has been painted an
upholstered throughout, the window
greatly enlarged and arched and the sea
newly cushioned. We have never see
cars more handsome, comfortable and il
viting.
OF the Pullman Palace Sleeping Car
running on all the night trains, OF th
road, it is impossible to speak in terms Il
