of nature. The noun
tains girded by the glittering bands of
steel, the foam-crested waters spanned
by bright cleaning ribbons of the
metal and the fields where the daisies
grow, the hill-sides from which the
blossoms send heayenward their frag-
rance and the velvety carpet of the
valleys, all as truly betoken the pres
ence of that agency without which so
glorious panorama would still as of
yore, be confined to the selfish glare of
the sun by day and to the autocratic
cold stare of the stars by night,
Had not the Baltimore and Ohio
been constructed as it was, through
the very garden If the continent
watered by the Potomac, the Shenan-
doah and the Youg1iogheny, onward,
and upward, until ,he crests of the
Blue Ridge and the 1oble old Allegan-
les almost kiss the cluds, then plung-
ing down through anon, DER chasm
and beneath towering masses, to the
broad, open shores Of the Ohio-had
not the hand of the B, & @. man done
all this, what a journey would have
been lost to all menl Who, then, can
say the thoughts of the rare and un-
equaled beauties lining every foot of
the B. & 0. way, from the Ohio to the
sea, are not in keeping with the spell
thrown over us by The witchery Of the
season? No railroad in the world
compares with it foTpicturesque love-
liness and mountain grandeur and
the points relative to change of time
on the B. & o., to new, trains and to
the old, have an interest," not dreamed
of in connection with other roads.
Thus it becomes to mary a matter of
personal qualification that the old fav-
orlte Daisy train still shows her dainty
heels to would-be rivals to the troub-
ling time of seven hours to Washing
ton, and a corresponding activity to all
Eastern cities or, in ether words, this
matchless train making the fastest
long run known for years, leaving st.
Louis in the morning Cincinnati in
the evening, and reacles Washingto n
next day for dinner, "a whole meal
not putting in an appearance until
supper-time. To Baltimore the time
saved is over four houls, and Philadel-
phia and New Yorkare reached in
time for supper. The corresponding
train from the East to bhe West should
also have an appropriate name, and if
the one is a Daisy the olher is Darling,
sure enough. Leaving New Y ork at
seven in the evening, and passing
through Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington en- route Cincinnati is
reached early the nextsvening in ample
time for the connection South and
Southwest. On the bid schedule the
time was some two hours longer, and
that much later gettinginto Cincinnati.
A similar change in the order of
things is gained at St Louis, as the
train, with it's through sleeper from
New York, reaches the / Future Great"
early the second morning, in an album
dance Of time to make all the connec-
TORS for the West and South, and
which connections ale made in Union
Depot, wherein all the through trains
of the B. 6 O. run. They pass from
Parkersburg to Cincinnati over the old
Marietta and Cincinnati line, now
greatly improved in every way, and
known to the world as the Cincinnati,
Washington and Baltimore Railroad.
It is model road in all its details,
and managed right up to the mark.
From Cincinnati to st Louis the B. &
o. trains pass over the noted Western
short line, the Ohio and Mississippi. |
With track as solid as the Rock of |
Gibraltar and motive power celebra-
ted throughout railway circles for its
efficiency, the 0. & M. has
set the pegs very high for rival lines
in the way of fast time. The beauty
IF it is that the road is so smooth and
The line so level that the passenger
fairly flies without recognizing he is
going at hardly anything more than a
rather lively jog.
With its direct inerchanging lines,
Iuch patterns of railway management
s no puzzle to account for the superb
)rity of the B. & D. over all other
through routes between New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
;on and Cincinnati and st. Louis.
While occupying an Incompatible posi-
ion as regards the cities named, the
B. g. o. enjoys equal distinction as a
Chicago line, it owning, controlling and
operating eYerysfoot bf the route from
he Atlantic to LaIe Michigan and
Lake Erie. It is theOnly line running
is trains through from New York to
Chicago and Chicago to New York
With absolutely nc change of cars
whatever, and it WAS the B. & 0. that
originated the term" solid" trains and
the system. How success
ul it has proved is indicated by the
mitators. 1.-THE Chicago Solid" as
his train has become known, has re-
emily had added superb new dining
ar, which in ROOM appointments and
novelties in the way OF tables, seats,
tc., is unquestionably the SWELL din
Ter of the period, Like the new and
magnificent sleepeis, the dining halls
n the line and everything else per-
aiming to the road, the one company
WINS and manages Its own dining-car
Inc consequently there are no out
ide corporations I'd live upon passen-
ers. and the latter deal in every single
Instance with the B. & 0. The Oldest
assenger railway in the world, the B.
! O. can show record for speed, for
afety, for prompt employment of
very new feature, and for satisfying
be public wholly unparalleled. In
he language of an enthusiastic West
IN admirer, 1t is the boss road. and
ont you forget it,
