MY DEAR SIR II have been unsvoid-
ably detained, since my return, in report
ing to you. as promised, my experience
end verdict as to the Pnllma,f Hotel
cars" on the North Western road. iy
"We-Mrs. ID. and mysclf-haye but
! short story to tell about the one we were
4 in. and that is that il was the most enjoy
able trip we ever made between Chicago
and home We were very agrecably sur
prised on many accounts. First, the car
is so elegant, and rides so perfectly; then
the meals are served with so much neat
ness; the table linen is changed every
time, and the Car kept in order. There
were several children on the car Some
times it may be worse. and many times
better in, this respect. There is some
thing perfectly luxurious, or rather II is a
luxury. to glide along through beautiful
country, over perfect track, and seated
by yourselves at an elegant table, with
your food choicely cooked and served with
that neainess you seldom find away from
home. The cooking and serving is all
that could be desired. f1N's
.Now ms TO the cost: When L went
East. in July, alone, my bills for meals
were rather high but for Two Of US they
were actually less than at ordinary eating
houses. 4,. 81 ttt ~
.1For dinner we had . whole rrairie
chicken, with vegetables, coffee and des-
sert, and bread-two kinds--and butter
thrown in. Cost. $l.J0 Tor 75 cents each.)
l think some more vegetables were served
than we ordered.
I'VE generally eat a light supper. Our
dinner Was rather late -forsupper we had
two plates raw oysters--all We Wished !;
cost, 40 cents each, Breakfast was & cap
iial one. and is our favorite meal. We
had porter house steak. cooked 20 per-
fiction, an omeleite, POTATOES for two.
coffee for two, hot corn bread for two, be-
sides the bread on the table; cost. $1.45
for 75 cents each). Total for the "trip,
$3.75 (or 621s cents per meal)- All.
I'm my Judgment, when there are two
or more in party it will not in any case
exceed 75 cents per meal, ana generally
will cost less; and the cooking and ser.
vice are the best ever saw on rail.
"I am confident these cars will prove
great srccess. and he very popular. The
conductor MIR. Tabcr. L believe = we
found gentlemanly and unobirusive. Next
time We will try 1t again. aH adj
No man is better entitled to speak
OF the merits or dement's OF these
cars than the writer OF the above.

tried all the leading lines in the
country.
In these hotel cars the meals sre

The managers OF the company have
determined to omit nothing which
