THE b. & O.'s NEW SCHEDULE MAKING
THINGS INTERESTING FOR THE
PUBLIC AS WELL AS FOR
RIVAL LINES.

From the Chicago Times.
Commencing from to-day the B. &
o. proposes to about monopOlize the
travel between Chicago and Washing
ton or know the reason why such
should not be the result. The road has q
new schedule going into effect this day
of our Lord and no matter as to the hour
a man may want to leave for the seat of
political governing power the B. & O..
will put him there all the way from
seven to twelve hours ahead Of rival
lines. The morning train or "the
fiyer''-as the boys speak of it at the
B. &. B. Office ON Clark street-which
used to go pOking along stopping at
cross roads and saw mills now gets up
and dusts after a fashion at once
healthy and invigorating. Leaving
Chicago at eighteen the dome of the
capitol comes in sight just about the
time next day when man feels as If
it was not the dinner hour it ought to
be. In seven hours less time than it
takes corresponding trains to reach
Washington the B. &. o. now makes
it, the train leaving here in the morn
ing arriving next day at noon while
other roads get in at supper time.
SO many hours in transit, there are a
good many who are pleased with the
opportunity of spending the afternoon
and evening in Washington and leav-
ing by the night express OIL the B. &.
o. reach New York early the following
morning. This can be done by taking
"the b. &. o. flyer" leaving at $40 in
the morning but it cannot be done Oh
any train on any other road. There
has been a big change in the night
train rs well, as instead of leaving as
on other lines just in "the shank OF the
evening" and most efactually depriv-
ing one of any opportunity for enjoy
ment, it now departs at ten minutes of
eleven, reaching Washington early
the second morning, Baltimore for
breakfast and Philadelphia and New
York for dinner. AS if these two
trains were not enough to clinch the
Washington and New York travel
beyond possibility of doubt, the ear
ly evening train leaves at ten min
utes after five. This is another "dai
sy" and must almost paralyze the boys
of the other lines OH Washington bust
ness as it pulls up at the National
Capitol a whole night ahead of the five
O'Clock trains ON other routes and they
all run them. While the B. u.
o. thus almost practically does away
with competition to Washington by
offering the public facilities which
cannot be equalled it makes an equal
ly strong claim for the travel to Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York.
By no other line can Washington be
visited en- route to New York without
additional eXpence for rail road fare
and more hours upon the road.
Certainly the b. &. 0. never before
had so advantageous a schedule out of
Chicago and public not satisfied with
50 excellent an arrangement of trains
would be hard to please indeed. 1t
would be superfuous to go into detail
as to through palace sleeping cars,
parlor cars and dining cars. All first
class roads in every particular. Speak
ing of through cars it should be stated
that the train leaving at five-ten is
still the only solid train from Chicago
to New York running through with
out change Of cars of any class what
