The Baltimore and Ohio is still on
deck and more saucy than ever when
il comes to talking out in meeting for
the interests OF the travelling public,
as against the exsctions Of some other
and would-be rival lines. It's latest
shot into the camp OF the hish-priced
and iancy-tixings lines is a hot one,
and already there is squirming and
twisting to get away from the inevi-
table. But there is no Use OF kicking
against the prodding, and the average
nan nowadays knows n thing or
two which all the cunningly con-
structed advertisements OF those who
want the whole earth, and then not
get enough, cannot blind him 10 the
actual state of affairs. To pay eight
or ten dollars extra for the simple
riding on a road that assumes all
there is in this life worth having is all
bosh, and no longer will the divi-
dends of railroad company and SUBJ
sidiary corporations alike swell at the
expense of an over-confiding public.
The +. and o. has itself gone into the
"limited" express train business, and,
as is ever the rule with everything
done by the solid old corporation, the
people profit, and would-be rival lines
vince. On all the 'limited" trains of
other routes q sum is exacted largely
in excess of the regular ticket rate,
and the passenger, whether it be his
choice or not, has to pay another ex-
ira in the shape of sleepiug-car fare.
II he declines 70 accept the conditions
SO arbitrarily exacted, he has p~erforce
to 20 on a slow train, a., according to
the latest principles OF these autocratic
companies, fast time is only for tic
wealthy. On the Il. aud O.. the best
is ever deemed the honest due OF all,
and the great American maxim that
every man is his own master to fol-
low his own sweet will has ever been
the all-governing rule of it's hslf-cen-
fury and more of existence. In other
words, there are no extra charges Of
any character whatsoever on the Il.
and O., and, figuratively speaking, if
q man don't want hash, he don't have
to take it. If he desires a sleeper, q
parlor car, there it is, and the rate for
accommodations is only the regular
standard figure, not doubled up, as on
other lines, in the interest of an al
ready all-powerful and rich sleeping
car combination.
The day coaches on the B. and o.
Limited are brand new, just out of
the shop, and perfectly appointed,
combining all the latest improve
ments. They, as all other csrs on the
train, run through without change,
and all in the same unparalleled time.
Note the schedule. Chicago Limited
leaves that city at 5 10 p. m, arriving
in Washington the next evening at
7 80, and Baltimore an hour later.
This certainly is flying, a twenty-five
hour run to the National Capital be-
ing all any one could ask. And it is
not done at a dangerous rate of speed
or in an anyway reckless II On
the B. & y. they take no risks of this
sort, but when shortening up the time
merely take out all the minor stops,
and by long, steady runs cover a vast
extent of territory in a very short
space Of time. Two other trains be-
side the Chicago Limited" leave the
Garden City, one at s 10 in the morn-
ing and the other at IL 10 at night.
From St. Louis the Limited leaves at
s a. m, and from Cincinnati at 1880
p. m, reaching Washington next
afternoon at 2 80 and Baltimore at
1885. There are other trains also from
St. Louis and Cincinnati, and East
bound the B. & o. fills the bill of pop
ular expectation to a T. West bound
it comes in again with a schedule
liable to make the officials of other
lines take to their beds with a win
ter's sick headache. The Limited for
Chicago leaves Baltimore at 8 q. M,
Washington at 9 q. H., and reaches
Chicago at 30 the following morn
ing, making a half.hour's faster time
than the much Wanted "Limited" of q
rival line, and on which the excess
charge is no less than SO from WASH
ington nor than on the 3. s. O.. The
B. s. o. Limited for Cincinnati and
st. Louis is another corker, leaving
Baltimore at noon, Washington at
l ,O5 p. M, and arriving at Cincinnati
at 7:lO q. m, four hours ahead, and
at st. Louis at 80 p. m, four and a
half hours ahead, of the so-called
"Limited" Express to these cities on
the other route. The Pittsburg elm
tied" on the b. & 0. is an hour and a
half faster from Washington to that
city than any other would be "Limit-
ed" and go throughout the whole of
the B. s. O's. matchless new schedule,
it ranks far above any eve gotten out
by other lines, no matter what their
boasts or assumption to combine in
themselves all the virtue, excellence
and enterprise this whole country
affords. During the past summer q
great amount of work has been done
all along the lines of the Baltimore
and Ohio. The track has been
Strengthened, immense quantities of
new and heavy steel rail put down,
and to-day the ride over Picturesque
B. & O., with all its wondrous beau
ties Of nature, its unsurpassed equip
ment, luxurious cars, it's very models
of railway dining halls and dining
cars, and its proverbially polite and
attentive train men, is a journey the
equal of which, for all that goes to
please and satisfy, cannot be made on
any other line on the continent. l
