''The Spirit Of the Times Shall Teach
Me Speed"
The demand Of the public for faster train
service to the north met its first response when
the schedule OF the B. l. O. R. R., on the 18th
OF last month, reduced the running time be-
tween Washington and Philadelphia to three
hours and fifteen minutes. This stroke of en-
terprise on the part Of the B. 4 o. aroused the
the people to the fact that the traffic could no
longer be held as a monopoly by one line and
they forced to accept such train service as it
chose to give. The business men and resi-
dents OF this city are therefore being again
benefited by the competition which it was pre-
dicted would follow the entrance of the b. q
D. into Philadelphia. The number of trains
run daily between here and Philadelphia is
now about double what it was four years ago.
before the Philadelphia Division Of the b. 4
o. was built.
