Bound Trains.
(From the Chicago Tribune, '2lst.)
The change of time which goes into
effect to day-Sunday-on the B. s. O. is
quite radical one. The morning train
which heretofore has been more of an &C.
commodation than an express train now
| becomes flyer--one of the fastest in fact
in the country Leaving Chicago at $40
in the morning so rapidly is distance an
initiated that Washington is reached the
following day shortly after noon and sew
en- hours in advance of any other day
train out of Chicago. This new order of
things will be of an immense advantage
to those who desire to spend half day
in Washington en- route to New York.
BY taking this Washington flyer one may
| have an entire afternoon and evening at
the National Capital and then taking the
B. & O. night train for New York arrive
in the metropolis bright and early the
next morning. Or should the desire be
to keep right on he may have the pleas
ure of passing through Washington in
full sight of the capitol and other public
buildings and reach New York the same
evening. To this train will be attached
the magnificent new B. & O. sleepers and
parlor cars. The afternoon train under
the new schedule leaves at ten minutes
past five. This is the noted solid train
there being no change of cars of any class
whatever from Chicago to New York via
Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
This train is also daisy when it comes
to making time as it arrives in Washing
ton the succeeding evening an entire
night ahead of the late afternoon trains
on other lines. To it are attached not
only spacious elegant sleepers but per-
fectly appointed dining cars as we'll and
in which are served meals famed as being
beyond all comparison the finest known
on wheels in the northwest. The night
train under the new schedule will at once
gain popularity which will prove most
substantially the wisdom of putting it on.
Heretofore the great inconvenience has
been on all the eastern lines that trains
left at an hour which prevented one from
getting any benefit or pleasure whatever
out of the evening. Now the B. s. O.
will have train leaving at ten minutes of
eleven at night in good time to afford all
who so choose to spend the evening with
friends or at places of amusement. In
common with the other trains nameu this
late train will let grass grow under her
as she arrives at Washington early the
second morning, Baltimore an hour later,
Philadelphia before noon and New York
in fine season for dinner. OF course this
train has sleeping car attached and every
convenience and luxury which money can
command.
This new schedule is without question
the best in every way the B. & o. has
ever had out of Chicago and in many re-
spects cannot be equaled Ivy any other
Trunk line. There is no gainsaying the
fact that when it comes to Washington
as an objective point there is no line that
can compare with the B. & O., and it can
ever beat the other into the National
Capital all the way from half day to an
entire night. AS for Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York travel it certainly
has no reason to take back seat as the
saying goes as it possesses advantages in
reaching the cities named which are I'M
surpassed. From picturesque stand
point its attractions are eqnalled by no
line in existence and being the only route
between the East and the West via Wash
ington it is by the B. s. 0. only that a
visit may be made at the National Capt.
tai en- route to New York without
an extra expense as to fare and increased
hours of travel.
