TIE RAILWAYS

The rivalry between the railways is devel-
opng the speeding resources of the contes
tants in an unexpected degree. The estab-
ishment by the Pennsylvania company of
a fast "limited express" between Chicago
and New York was direct challenge to the
Vanderbilt lines. The latter now meet
their competitor in time contest. Telc-
grams were received here last night from
the Vanderbilt headquarters in New York,
stating that il had been decided to run
limited express train between Chicago and
New York, over the Lake Shore
and New York Central railways,
on fast schedule. The trail will
leave Chicago at $3.50 p. N. and arrive at
the Grand Central depot in New York ut
$50 in the evening of the following day.
This is a duplication of the running time Of
the new limited express via the Pennsyl-
vania route. But west-bound the train is
to, be scheduled for faster time by forty
minutes than is made by the Pennsylvania
train. II will leave New York at 8 q. IN.
and arrive in Chicago at Q o'clock the fol-
lowing morning. The first start on this
new schedule will be made from Chicago
and New York next Sunday. The connec-
tons of the Lake Shore were advised Off
cially of the proposed change, and instruc-
tons were issued to the time department of
the road to adjust the schedules in accord
ance with the plan agreed upon, and to
