THE BALTIMORE oHIo's NEW FAST
SCHEDULES TO NEW YORK AND
THE WEST.
hlng.on Po.t.

commencing to-day, the Baltimore 4
Ohio road wakes up to so lively an APP
probation Of the demads of the hour us
to win the unlimited favor of the public
and at the same time throw rival lines
into condition of perplexity not at al
conducive TO good digestion. Under the
new schedule Washington gets her full
and just deserts: a tribute, by the way,
she has not paid her before. Instead of
being placed upon the same footing as to
time from and to the West as New York
this city via the Baltimore & Ohio, is
now many hours nearer, and Philadel-
phia and New York are reached, via
Washington, at exactly the same time as
by the the fastest trains via Harrisburg
or Buffalo. But while New York is
thus reached at The saline time via these
as other cities, the time from this this
city west Is very much shorter. For in
stance, the Cincinnati express, leaving
here daily at 0: 10 A. NJ, arrives at Gin
cinnati early next morning, and at st.
Louis that evening, three to four hours
in advance ofthe fastest trains by any
other line. The same advantage is gain
cd by the st. Louis express, leaving
here at o; 80 p. NJ, reaching Cincinnati
ihe next evening and and st. Louis the
following morning. The Chicago light
ming express leaving here at 3 10 z. NJ.
is well named, as 1t reaches Chicago the
next evening, an entire night ahead of
the fastest trains by other roads. The
trains from the West under this new
schedule of the Baltimore Il Ohio, come
here Il flying. The New York express,
leaving St. Louis in the morning and
Cincinnati that evening, arrives here ut
noon the next day, eight hours ahead Of
all other roads. while the Baltimore ex-
press leaving st. Louis in the evening
and Cincinnati next morning. The
lightning express, leaving Chicago at
8: ID =. NJ, is another remarkable time
maker, rs 1t arrives here the next even
ing, no less than eleven hours in advance
Of the quickest train by any competing
route. In order that all things on the
road shall be in keeping with the light
ming transit inaugurated to-day, the
track has been put in flrst-class shape,
and the Janney coupler platform attach
ed to the passenger equipment. The
dining halls on the line, all OF which are
owned by the company, have been thor
oughly renovated and refitted, and now,
under the personal management Of one
of the most popular hotel men in the
country, will be found models Of con-
venicncc. Thus, with the West looked
after us never before, the b. & O. has
paid equal attention to it's Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York schedule.
The trial trip of the canton, the monster
new transfer boat, was made on Friday,
and was Il perfect success. She COM
mences her work to-day, and instead of
the long transit through the streets or
the tunnel under Baltimore the transfer
Is made from Locust Point to Canton in
five minutes, saving Of fully half
hour over other methods. The Canton
takes fifteen passenger coaches ut one
time, having engines ortrcmendous pow
err. There are now ten express trains
leaving for Baltimore, and all Of them
average forty miles an hour. The limit
ell cypress, on which no extra charge Is
made, leaves here ut o A. NJ, arriving
at Philadelphia at 1915 T.. NJ; New
York ut li45. The q P. NJ. reaches
New York at 10, and the TO-: 10 p, NJ.
ut 0 ;45 A. NJ.
