a. M, now arrives AT G.3' a IN.
We will have much earlier train to the
city than by the old schedule; the Blue
Mountain Express leaves Hagcrstown ut
$50 a. IN. makes but eight stops between
that point and Fulton Station, passes Me-
chanic,town, one Of the stops, at 7.4S a. m.
arriving at Hiicn Station at 0 so A. m.
The Fast Mail east passes this point, stop
ping here, at I A p. m, - minutes earlier
than by the last schedule.
The changes in the running Of the other
trains are but slight; the early train cast in
the morning replaces the night train.
The connection with the p. II. r. to Fred
crick is still the very worst possible as that
road persists in holding the train for the
train from Baltimore, and it does not leave
the Junction until 1890 arriving in Frcder-
lex at 1925, returning leave Frederick at
4,10p. m.
