DAISIES AND FLYERS.
The u. 0.'s New Schedule Making Things In
tercsting for the Public as we'll as for
Rival Lines

Commencing from to-day the b. Il o.
proposes. to about monopolize the travel
between Chicago and Washington or
know the reason why such should not be
the result. The road has new schedule
going into effect this day of our Lord
and no matter as to the hour a man NAV
want to leave for the seat of political
and 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 1.-the flyer''-as the
boys speak of it at the Il. 4 o. Office on
Clark street-which used to go pokinr
along at cross roads and saw mills now
gets up and dusts after a fashion at once
healthy and invigorating Leaving
Chicago $40 at 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 Washing
ton the b. & o. now makes it, the train
leaving here in the morning arriving
next day at noon while other roads get
in at supper time. Aside from being
thus enabled to save so many hours in
transit there are good many who are
pleased with the opportunity of spend
ing the afternoon and evening in Wash
ington and leaving by the night express
on the B. & o. reach New York early
the following morning. This can be
done by taking 1.-The B. q o. flyer lcav-
ing at $40 in the morning but it cannot
be done on any other road. There has
been big change IN the night train as
well, as instead of leaving as on other
lines just in .'the shank of the evening"
and most effectually depriving one of any
opportunity for enjoyment it now de-
parts at ten minutes of eleven, reaching
Washington early the second morning.
Baltimore for breakfast and Philadel-
phia and New York for dinner. As if
these two trains were not enough 10
clinch the Washington and New York
travel beyond a possibility of doubt the
early evening train leaves at ten minutes
after five. This is another daisy and
must almost paralyze the boys of the
other lines on Washington business 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 Is. & o. thus almost practi-
cally does away with competition to
Washington by offering the public facil-
tiles which cannot be equalled it makes
an equally strong claim for the travel to
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.
BY no other line can Washington be
visited en- route to New York without
additional expense for railroad 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
so excellent an arrangement of trains
would be hard TO please indeed. 1t
would be superfluous to go into detail as
to through palace sleeping cars, parlor
cars and dining cars. All first class
roads run such nowadays and the b. &
Q. is first class road in every partieu-
lar Speaking of through cars it should
be stated tLat the train leaving at five
ten is still the only solid train from
Chicago to New York running through
without change of ears of any class
whatever Chicago Times May p.
