Improved Train Service 60 Atlantic
city via Peniasyivania Railroad.
The outlook for the summer season at
Atlantic City was never SO promising as
it is at present and the prosperous City
by the Sea was never in 70 good a condi-
ton for entertaining and amusing its
summer guests. Entertainment In the
sense of atfording food and shelter is all
that ia required of the Atlantic City peo-
pie, nature furnishes the rest and she
lays sea aud sand, sky and wind under
tribute to aid in accomplishing her pur-
pose. The great Seaside City of summer
pleasure, resourceful as it Ia in all that is
attractive and beneficial on sea and land,
could never attain to Its high standard OF
popularity il natures ally, the railroad,
did not lend its efficient aid In rendering
access 80 easy that the average traveller
counts the trip as nothing.
The facilities afforded by the Pennsyl-
vania railroads seashore branches will
be greatly improved for tue coming
season. They have always been main
tanned on scale OF liberality unap-
preached 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 go into effect On June
Goth, and it 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 & Atlantic roads have been
reballasted and relaid in many portions
in anticipation OF an improved, acceler-
- an that 4ha
new schedule will find both OF the Penn
sylvauia's Atlantic City lines in prime
physical condition. A larger number or
express trains ia 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
business men will appreciate and the
residents of suburban towns and Neigh
boring cities will End most convenient,
| is late evening train from Philadelphia.
IL ia proposed that this train shall leave
Philadelphia about $50 p. m, after all
the afternoon connections are In aud all
business ia over, and arrive in Atlantic
City for late supper. II will undoubtedly
prove 8 popular movement, and Will
oftentimes save much hurry and annoy
ance. Another new feature will be o late
train up, leaving Atlantic City at 10. 80 y.
m. for philadelphia, enabling visitors to
sperd the evening with friends and re-
turn the same night. Other fast trains
will run at convenient hours of the day
| In both directions, so that every one may
find leaving aud arriving hour to his
taste.
Two new trains Of considerable Inn
portance have been added to theschedule
within the past week-one an early morn
ing train, designed to deliver the news
papers in Atlantic City before breakfast,
and the other an early train up for the &C
commodation of those who would be in
Philadelphla before 8 O'clock.
The equipment of the summer trains
will be greatly improved by the use OF
new coaches and by the substitution of
new Altoona. built parlor cars, such as
are run between New York and Washing
| ton, for the old Woodruff parlor ears
that che march Of progress has left
behind.
With these superior facilities, and the
advantages offered by q centrally located
station easily accessible from all portions
OF tue city, and in direct connection
with Broad street station, travel to At
lantlo City by the Pennsylvania railroad
holds out to its patrons the strongest in
ducements Of promptness, readiness and
comfort.
