TIE Tourist FLYERS" on the Atlantic
Coast Line 70 be Put On To-day.
The winter travel TO Savannah and Flor
ida practically begins to-day with the
putting on Of the two tourists flyers" from
| New York TO Savannah and Jacksonville
over the Atlantic Coast Line and Savannah.
Florida and Western railway. The trains
are known as Nos. Is and 90, and will run
a schedule equal 70 that Of the Vestibule
special.
They are regular tourists trains.
| The additional trains show the railroad
| peoples opinion about what this seasons
travel from the north will be. Their opin-
ion may be regarded as pretty correct. for
they make a careful study Of the prospects
that more than twice as many people will
come south this year over the Atlantic
Coast line as did last yea
With this idea in view, the Central system
as well as the Plant system is making ex-
tensive prepare tons TO accommodate the
heavy travel Heretofore the Central has
brought comparatively few tourists south.
This was more from the fact that adequate
accommodation was not offered 70 tourists
from the west, and they preferred TO spend
their winters In California. The Central
has made arrangements by which a fast
schedule from st. Louis will be put on in a
Few days, transporting tourists from the
northwest via Chattanooga, Atlanta, and
Savannah to Florida 1t will be . very
fast train. and will be fitted up in every
way for tourists travel
The Central people estimate that quite as
many people from the northwest spend the
winters away from home Is do in the east.
The northwestern travel has been directed
to California until recent years, when q
good portion OF it has begun TO drift into
Florida by western routes TIE California
winters are too 'rainy," and the tourists
are complaining and seeking more comfort
able climes
Florida and Savannah have always been
favorable resort for them, nut incon ven
fence In getting here had a tendency to
check travel, and consequently no great
amount Of II came this way. The Central's
schedules have been arranged 50 as to make
close connections with the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western railway at Savannah, so
that tourists who wish 70 go through to
Florida before stopping here may do so.
The DE Soto has been built with view to
accommodating the travel, and Savannah
will loom up as resort again this season,
and 1t is expected that many tourists will
go this far and no farther TO spend the
winter
For the dispatch Of the increased business
on the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way new schedules have been put on,
and several changes in the old schedules will
go into effect. Train No. Sc, one of the
new trains, will leave Jacksonville for New

Savannah.

which VIII be put on to-day, will arrive
here from New York at SEQ O'Clock in the
morning. II will arrive in Jacksonville at
ii 80 o'clock in the forenoon.
