 The New Line to Saratoga.
 The new route to Saratoga just opened by the New Haven and Northampton railroad | via the Hoosac Tunnel will be highly popular. With the completion of the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western railroad the New Haven
 and Northampton road have put, on express
 trains from this city to this great summer re- ! sort. No change of cars is involved. The completion of thirteen miles of road was all that was necessary to secure the new ar engagement. The late General Burt, of Bos- ton, built the Hoosac Tunnel and Western
 road from a point near North Adams to a
 connection with the Delaware and Hudson
 Canal company's road at Mechanicsville, N. Y., and running into Saratoga the track
 of the latter road But this connection was not all that desired and in order to se-
 cure more direct route to the great water | ing place, from Boston and all points seekin g
 the Hoosao Flannel route, General Bu1t ! planned an independent road from the Hud-
 son river, near Saltwater, N. Y., to Saratoga
 Lake, skirting the east shore of that lake and
 running into Saratoga on the line of the
 Saratoga lake road. The thirteen miles ot | new road has just been completed, and was opened to regular traffic on Wednes
 day, July 5, on which day through cars ran l from Boston to Saratoga via this line and [ also from New Haven via the New Haven ' and Northampton road. It is new road thai is heartily welcomed by the people of Sara toga, and will be 8 great convenience to the ! greater part of Massachusetts and to suct 7 portions of Connecticut as can by easy con nections meet the through trains on the New 7 Haven and Northampton road at stations k ! Connecticut.
 ! This road has made arrangements to rur through cars between New Haven and Sara
 toga through the season, and the first traini . over the new route went through Wednesday , The opening of the new road was made th' occasion of 8 pleasant excursion Wednesday , in which a few newspaper men ant ' others, guests of Superintendent c B A. Goodnow, and Secretary ane = General Passenger Agent E. A. Ra, 1 | of the New Haven and Northampto, l road. participated. The party returned ol | Thursday, after pleasant visit in Saratoga z ! The new route cannot fail to be 8 popula r { one. The New Haven and Northampton company have put upon the line handsomel. | finished and furnished new drawing roon b cars, which run through daily each way be : l tween New Haven and Saratoga, withou |, change. The trains to Saratoga leave Ne,
 Haven at 1923 a. m. and reach Saratoga a
 4:4O. Returning they leave Saratoga at 1O:3
 ! 8. m. and reach New Haven about p. m.
