2:l0 p. "; freight No. a has been changed
from S:35 to 7:4O p. NJ, and No. % brings pas
sengers from GenescO to Ottawa only, arriv-
ing at 200 p. NJ. Going west the fast train
goes ten minutes later-3:20 p NJ. The most
important change of all is in the accommoda-
ton freight going west in the forenoon, which
leaves Ottawa now at $3.50, and arrives at the
La Sale depot at 1925, making fast run be
tween the two cities for the accommodation
of those who wish to take the Central train.
A stop is also made at the Central bridge in
