To Atlantic City via Pennsylvania
Railroad.

The outlook for the summer season at AT
lantic City was never so promising as it is at
present, and the prosperous City by the Sea
was never in so good a condition for enter
tanning and amusing its summer guests.
Entertainments in the sense ofaifording food
and shelter is all that is required of the At
lantic City people nature furnishes the rest,
and she lays sea and sand sky and wind
under tribute to aid in accomplishing her
purpose. The great Seaside City of summer
pleasure, resourceful as it is in all that is
attractive and beneficial on sea and land
could never attain to its high standard of
popularity if Nature S ally, the railroad, did
not lend its efficient aid in rendering access
so easy that the average traveller counts the
trip as nothing.
The facilities offered by the Pennsylvania
.a-c;.s-. > sUdshoie S1ahcnes Will be greatly
improved for the coming season. They have
always been maintained on a scale Of lib
erality unapproached by those enjoyed by
any other watering place, but progressive
spirit will, this summer, be manifested in
many and striking improvements. The sum-
mer schedule will 90 into effect on Tune
goth, and 1t will present a service of trains
superior in number, speed, and equipment
to that OF any previous year. The roadway
of both the West Jersey and Camden and
Atlantic roads have been reballasted and
an improved, accelerated, and increased ser
vice, so that the new schedule will find both
of the Pennsylvania's Atlantic City lines in
prime physical condition A large number
of express trains is promised and the very
quick time of transit heretofore made be-
tween the Delaware and the ocean will be
materially reduced.
An innovation, which Woodworking bust
ness men will appreciate, and the residents
of
will find most convenient, is a late evening
train from Philadelphia. It is proposed that
this train shall leave Philadelphia about 6. 80
p. m, after all the afternoon connections
are in and all business is over, aud arrive in
Atlantic City for late supper. It will UNI
doubleday prove popular movement, and
will oftentimes save much hurry and annoy
ance. Another new feature will be late
train up, leaving Atlantic City at 30 D. III.
for Philadelphia, enabling visitors to spend
the evening with friends and return the same
night. Other fast trains will run at conve-
nient hours of the day in both directions, so
that every one may find leaving and arriv-
ing hour to his taste.
Two new trains of considerable impor-
lance have been added to the schedule
within the past week-one an early morn
ing train, designed to deliver the newspapers
in Atlantic City before breakfast and the
other an early train up for the accommoda-
ton of those who would be in Philadelphia
before nine O'Clock
The equipment of the summer trains will
be greatly improved by the use of new
coaches and by the substitution of new Al
toona-built Parlor Cars, such as are run be-
tween New York and Washington, for the
old Woodruff Parlor Cars that the march of
progress has left behind.
With these superior facilities, and the adj
vautages offered by a centrally located sta
ton easily accessible from all portions ofthe
city, and in direct connection with Broad
Street Station, travel to Atlantic City by the
Pennsylvania Railroad holds out to its
patrons the strongest inducements of prompt |
ness, readiness and comfort
