fornia to materially reduce the time
schedule Oh tho Central Pacific railroad.
The new monster ferry. boat Solano will
soon be ready for commencing tie GER
vice across Carquinez Straits, which
will OF itself afford a great saving CT
time. The overland train will then reach
San francisco at half.past o A. NJ. and
arrive there ut half-past ii A. NJ The
running time between that city and Sac
ramento will also he lessenod. The fast
train to Sacramento and Virginia City
will probably leave San Francisco Rt
hnlf-past 2. n. The passenger steam
ers to Vallejo will be withdrawn, but
freight boats will bo retained. The
railroad officials endeGyored to SO af-
range the time table as to allow OF the
departure of the overland train In the
afternoon. 1t was, however, found i'm
possible TO do so without conflicting
with the schedule of railroads east OF
