HEAVY RAILROAD TRAFFIC EXPECTED.
For several days the passenger agents and super
intendents of most of the railroads have been busy
arranging for handling tho crowds that are ex-
pected TO come in from out of town. No definite
estimates Of the numbers they may be compelled to
handle have been made by railroad men, but on all
the lines preparations have been completed for the
transportation Of many thousands If necessary
All the roads expect to run their regular trains In
sections, but only one-the New-York Central-has
arranged for extra trains Special excursion rates
of fare based upon an average of onehalf the reg
uar round-trip rate, have been made from points
along the lines of their roads by the New-York
Central and the Harlem, the Erie, the Delaware,
Eackawanna and Western, the Pennsylvania, the
New-Jersey Central and the West Shore and Buff
falo companies and their branch lines.
81 anticipate great rush." said Assistant Pas
senger Agent Richards of the New York Central
yesterday. 1--WE have made preparations by which
same safety and absence of delay that attended our
transportation of the $4,000 people to and from the
Newburg centennial celebration. Special rates
have been made from all points east of Syracuse
and from the principal places between Rochester
and Syracuse. We will bring down Governor
Cleveland from Albany on special car rendered to
him by President Rutter and send HIM home In a
special train at midnight on Monday. II necessary
we will run one extra train TO points beyond Al;
bany on Monday at 1870 p. M. for Albany and all
points this side extra train will be run at I:3O
p. M. Moreover. the IL p. m train will stop at all
places where passengers may wish to get on"
General Passenger Agent Abbott, Of the Erie,
said We will not put on extra trains but we
have arranged for adding additional cars to the
regular trains, running them in sections II neoes-
sary Our special rates made to points as Tar
west as Rochester, Warsaw and Clean"
At the West Shore office it was stated that the
probable travel would tax the equipment facilities
of the line to the utmost, and the company was
borrowing all the it could from its connecting
roads. Reduced rates for the occasion are made on
the West Shore as far west as Syracuse; on the On
tnrio and Western as far west as Oswego, and on
the Syracuse, Ontario and New-YOrk and the Wall
kill Valley roads. The special rates granted by the
Delaware Lackawanna and Western extend Us tar
west as Syracuse and Utica.
