New and important changes in the
time schedule of the Baltimore and
Ohio company, into effect on the 22d,
promise to be greeted with very de-
cided favor by the people throughout
the entire west. Very radical improve
ments have Of late been perfected in
the track and management Of the road
and now that everything is in order fol-
making remarkably fast time, the new
schedule is announced, and from this
time OH things will fairly hum on the
old line. The time from Chicago tc
New York is very materially lessened
as the train which formerly left there
at 4.05 will, under the new schedule
leave at SIS. All the leading eastern
lines have through express trains fol
the east leaving at this hour, and the
b. & O., with its splendid facilities and
unequalled advantages in reaching
Washington, arrives in that city full
night in advance of the SIS trains or
competing ro,,ds, or, in other words
passengers leaving on the B. & 0
arrive at Washington next evening
while by taking the SIS trains of Other
lines, the National Capital is not reach.
ed until the second morning. Another
very striking advantage possessed by
the Baltimore and Ohio road is, that il
is the only line from Chicago running
solid trains through to Washington
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York
AS the trains are made up here, so il
goes through, there being no change OF
cars of any class whatever. To those
who do not take sleeping cars for the
entire journey, but who make them
selves comfortable in the regular
coaches, the absence of all changes can
not but be exceedingly grateful. The
regular coaches are of the very finest
description, being Of the latest pattern
and supplied with every possible con
venience. Thousands of tons of new
steel rails have been laid, and the
motive power has been largely aug
mented by number of new and power
full engines. In short, the B. & 0. is
to-day without superior in offering
first class facilities to the travelling
public, and at the same time remains
the model fast line of the country
The new palace sleeping cars continue
to call forth the undisguised admira-
tion of the travelling public. They are
so spacious and so elegantly appointed
as to afford the greatest possible COM
fort while travelling, and certainly no
sleeping car line in the country has
more affable and accommodating con-
ductors and porters. The parlor cars
just placed upon the line are beyond
all question the finest being built in
this country, or for that matter, any
other country. They are different in
several respects from the stereotyped
style of parlor cars, being more spa,
cious and more luxurious. The dining
car line from Chicago is, like every
thing else on the B. & O., of the very
best, the meals served being worthy of
comparison with those of the best
hotels in the country. A uniform
price of seventy-five cents per meal is
charged, and the guest has placed be-
fore him menu embracing the finest
and best that the market affords. The
time from New York to Chicago has
been lessened an hour, the through
train being due at $50 instead of $50 as
before. There is no material change in
the time of the morning train.
