Speaking in regard to the arrangement eff
trains over the Harlem Extension railroad,
the Manchester Journal says There is
"no good reason why through passengers
"will not 90 this route as well as any

no reason why that route should not be
preferred to any other by through passen'
gers, and especially when the conductors
are gentlemen, as we found Mr.. Fred Wild
er to be when recently travelling that way,
as Is the rule with all these officials on the
Central Vermont lines. -Montoelser Argus
