rchicago Tribune.l


 With the new time-schedule of the Baltimore and Ohio, which went into effect on Sunday last, a new through train was added from Chicago to the East. which now gives the popular old road three daily trains out Of this city morning. noon and night. All three of these trains run every day in the week. The j:15 ?. m. train con- tinues. as it has for months past, 10 be an entire night the quickest to Washington of any train out of this city. The Baltimore and Ohio is the only route between the East and the West via Washington, all other lines reaching the National Capital via c1rcuitous routes. The new Bslti- more and Ohio sleepers are attracting widespread attention and creating the most favorable comments. In many respects superior to the cars Tn use on other lines, they have at the same time all the advantages possessed in other cars.
 Of the improvements, the most noticeable one IS the length of the car. 1t being from one 10 two sections longer than the ordinary sleeping car, and IS higher, wider and more com modious in every way. An improve ment which will add very much to the pleasure of smokers " en route " is the remarkably large smok- ing apartment in the car. It IS fully ten feet square, affording ample accommodations for dozen people, and this. too, without occasiOning any inconvenience whatever when the door is opened or shut. This advant- age will certainly be appreciated by those who have so long been ob- liged 10 double themselves in small compartments and be put 10 the ln- convenience of getting up every time @ train mau or passenger happens 10 pass in or out of the door of the car. Another feature just introduced by the Baltimore and Ohio is dining car line, which will run In and out ot Chicago on the 5:15 p. m. train and on the through express In the morn ing coming in. Congress meets next month. and with the very superior advantages the Baltimore and Ohio has over all other lines to Washington there is DO question as to it's doing the bulk of the business between this sec tion.and the National Capital.
