its fast time with ease, trains reach
ing destination, almost Invariably,
right on time. Occasionally when
forced to it, the road has shown the
present fast schedule to be mere
child's play compared to what it can
do. Not long cince a connecting

minutes. On another day a run of
ninety-three miles was made in nine
ty-nine minutes including three
stops. To do this, as may be imag-
ined, the track has been put in per-
feet shape. Ton after ton of new
steel rail has been laid, and this be-
ing of extra heavy weight and stone
ballasted, almost any rate of speed
may be attained upon it. The in
crease Of the volume of travel over
the road is something unprecedented,
and the anxiety of the other trunk
lines to pool business is easily ac-
counted for. To meet the demands,
the company has promptly placed
new and very handsome coaches on
the road, and when necessary, runs
regular trains in double sections, in
order that all may be accommodated.
The improvement of the dining halls
