The scheme nov being talked ny ia
railroad circles. and by the press of New
England, generally, for faster aud bet
ter train service between Boston aud New
York, revives IN our mind the plan ia
which the late Gov. Bodwell was inter
ested, with other capitalists, in the new
air line railway between the above cities.
To this scheme he had given great deal
Of time and much money. Their plan
was to have an entirely new line between
Boston aud New York. as nearly AN lair
line" as possible under one manage
ment, with no crossings at
grade, and thus he able To
shorten up the time between the two cities
from one TO two hours. ut Is not cred
liable to the enterprise of the present
day or to that of two Of the largest cities
OF the east" remarked GOV, Bodwell to
US at one time when talking upon this
subject, THAT there Is not direct line of
railroad under one management between
Boston and New York. No one can go
from one city to another now" he eontin-
ued "without going over the lines owned
aud controlled by three or four different
companies, all Of which impose changes
Of engines and delays. Our only difficult
~ Is in getting into New York. That is
the bad and costly part of the plan. hut
we are making good progress This was
oni, few months before GOV. Bodwelrs
death.
The recent opening of the new draw
bridge across the Thames at New London
on the "shore line" has again called At
tention to the plan of quicker time be-
tween Boston and New York. At pres
ent there are teu daily trains between the
two cities. the running time requiring
FROM six to ten hours. the distance vary
ing from 80 to s60 miles. Ia an article

marks that Boston's great financial, COM

The maintenance Of high average rate
Of speed L. SO desirable as to be almost
