| CLIMATE IN THE WORLD.
With the Pleasure seeker, the Emigrant or
the Invalid bound for the Middle, Western
Southern or the Gulf coast resorts, the next
question after settling aolers to 60, is, ho'o to
go. First, of course, parties east of Pitts
burgh take the PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL, the
best managed and best equipped railway line
in the world, over which line and its connec-
tions, Mr.. L. P. Farmer, the General Passen-
ger Agent, has arranged system of Summer
travel, not even possible with any other road
than the Pennsylvania. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary here to mention that Col T. A. Scott is
the President of this grand and magnificent
Road, and Frank Thompson its General
Manager.
Arriving in Pittsburgh the convenient
schedules arranged by Col. w. L. O'Brien,
General Passenger Agent of the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati and st. Louis Railway, render it
almost matter of course that this favorite
''Pan Handle Route will be taken. MIR. D.
W. Caldwell is the General Manager of this
road, and Mr.. S. NJ. FELTON,, Jr., General SUI
perintendent In connection with the great
Pennsylvania Central it is the quickest, short
est, safest and cheapest route from New
York, Boston and Philadelphia to Pittsburgh,
Columbus, Cincinnati, st. Louis and the
continuous line without an equal in all its
appointments; traversing the most densely
populated portions of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas,
Colorado, &C., reaching either by direct or
connecting lines every city and town of any
magnitude between Lake Michigan and the
Ohio River, and South through Kentucky,
via the Cincinnati and Louisville Short Line
and the Louisville and Great Southern Rail-
road to New Orleans or intermediate points.
From Cincinnati to Louisville you take the
L. 6 g. ''Short Line" connecting those two
cities, the shortest, quickest, cheapest and
best route connecting those cities; managed
by careful, competent and clever officers, and
riding in clean, new coaches, attended by po-
lite and attentive employees. The "Short
Line" is the only one running its entire trains
through from Cincinnati to Louisville over a
stone ballasted track, entirely free from dust,
and known all over the Southern Middle
States as the "People's Favorite." 1t is
eighteen miles the shortest route between
those cities. 1t is the only principal connect
ing link to the Great South for network of
Railroads having their terminus either direct
ly or indirectly at Cincinnati. All passen-
gers going South from the East, North, North
east and Northwest find their way to Cincin-
natl and thence over this splendidly equipped
Road South. John Mcleod is the General
Superintendent of this road, and Mr.. s. S.
Parker, General Passenger and Ticket Agent.
At Louisville the traveller, whether bound
for Middle Tennessee, Albany or New Or
leans, takes the Great Southern Line. The
commendable energy of this line through
Louisville, between Eastern and Southern
cities, keeps it at the front, with the quickest
time between New York and New Orleans.
The through run is now made in 60 hours
and 1 minute, not however by excessive
speed, but by running through trains for
through passengers. All the latest improve |
ments applied to passenger transportation
have been adopted by this line, and it boasts
steel rail, stone ballast and Westinghouse air.
