SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y, July 5.--IHE TRIB-
Uvt's newspaper special train from New-York City
to the summer resorts in this part OF the State made
its first trip for the season OF 1885 to-day. By
means of this special train The TRIBUNE has been for
two years past the first paper from tho metropolis
that has been on sale here Sunday mornings,
and now that its sale has become double what 1t
oven was before there is all the more reason why 1t
should DO run this year. The paper arrived ut
a. H.. the earliest hour known. BY means of
joint arrangement, Tho Herald came to-day on the
same train.
The train loft New York to-day at $50 a. m. with
the largest pile Of TRDUNEs ever sent
ont so early in tho season. When the
dispatchers gong signallcd the hour
Conductor C. A. Bergh. cousin of Mr.. Henry Bergh,
shouted call aboard" Dennis Cassen, in the cab,
dotted his black Derby hat and opened the throttle
valve and away sped the tram with clear track
to Albany. ed" Ftzgbbons was fireman. The
engine was No. ST. and the noble machine did her
best. The last glimmer of tho Atlantas night lights
faded as tho train passed Irvington The 71st Reg
imcnt awake in camp as the train passed Peeks-
kill. The stars were shining. and there was every
promise Of good, bright day. Overlook Mountain
covered by pear-colored clouds beaconed the Cats
kills just before o'clock.
At Catskill station bundles were tossed off for
the mountain houses. and the train rushed on st
fifty mile gait toward Albany. At place few
miles above, the stranded steamboat Dean Rich-
mond passed. The engine entered Albany at
0:JS a. m having made tine run OF 117 miles from
New-Y0rk without o stop. No. 81 was laid OIL here
and Jerry Harris took hold OF the newspaper car
with the paymasters engine No. 3sS and started
away for Utica. The run of eighteen miles to
Schenectady was made in twenty minutes. Bun
dies were thrswn of at village. Az Schenec-
tady the bundles for Saratoga and Lake George
thrown of. and the train quickly vanished In
the distance westward. en- route for Utica
From Schenectady, the papers were brought 10
this place by special engine On the Delaware and
Hudson road in forty-ivc minutes arriving at
a. m The trip to this city was thus made IN four
| and one-haf hours from New-York. The new spark
catcher on the Centrals engines worked
perfectly. The device IS of great value
to the Central road. n line which such fast time
Is now being made with the through express trains
Under 100 pounds pressure of steam and moving at
| high speed these powerful engines would spit out
live Goals in perfect torrent, except for the means
taken to prevent it /; and the use Of tho improved
spark catcher as well the smoke consumer shows
what attention the Centraps officials pay to the
details of their business.
Tie TRIBUNE has now brought it's special dellv-
cry of the Sunday paper to Saratoga to point
that leaves nothing to be desired. The paper
contains the latest news and arriyesby am, which
| is as early as any one wants a newspaper here.
