The b i ., depot in Washington, is
so exceedingly handy 20 the capital
practically next squsre-thst no road In
the city can equal it In point of acces-
sibilIty. Another great advantage lies
in the fact that the B. & o. has its own
depot used exclusively for its own
trains. When the time Tor departure
comes after the inaugural proceeding
are at an end, there is inevitably a rush
to the depots. In such depots where
there are various roads, one can readily
imagine the confusion which must ex-
