FAST TINE FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
JOHN w. MACKAY AND MISS FAIR COME ACRoS
THE CONTINENT ~ .nn,rn l, nAvc

JOHN w. MACKAY AND MISS FAIR COME ACROSS
THE CONTINENT IN ABOUT AZ DAYS.
On water and on land records are being broken ;
especially has this been the case during the last few
months, when records have been established in
quick succession by transatlantic steamers sailing and
steam yachts, and by railroad trains. The latest fast
trip made with the latter mode Of conveyance was
ended yesterday morning at 10 SO. when the private
car Grassmere rolled into the Grand Central Station
having come from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean in
days 10 hours and 2s minutes.
On the car were John w. Mackay, the millionaire
and Miss Virginia Fair daughter Of ex-senator Fair and
sister OF Mrs. Herman Oelrchs, of New York. Last
Wednesday they saw the sink in the Pacific Ocean,
The sun that greeted them yesterday morning rose
from the Atlantic Ocean and told them that than
5000 miles he'd been made in the fastest time record
for special passenger on regular trains. In
little ove~ 100 hours fhcy had crossed a continent
climbed great mountains swept by and through
hundred populous cities, and almost before the sight Of
San Franciscos golden gate had faded the Mississippi
had been crossed, the great lakes had been passed
and down the broad valley of the Hudson they sped
into city on the shore Of another ocean.
Last August Herman Oelrchs made the trip the
same route and in the private in four days.
eighteen hours and forty minutes. In both instances
the car was attached to the fast mail train which
starts from Green River, Wyo. but in Mr.. oelricss
case the Grassmere had TO be dropped from the mail
loaded This caused him TO miss the fast mail train
connection at Chicago, while Mr.. Msckay had better
luck His car went through to Chicago without delay,
arriving there at a. m. on Sunday morning and it
at once transferred TO the fast mail which left
Chicago over the Lake Shore road at O'Clock.
The train was delayed twenty four minutes between
Chicago and Toledo, freight train blocking the way,
but five minutes gained by extra fast
the Hudson River road between Poughkeepsie and
New-York The only other delay was on the Union
Pacific road at Cheyenne the train arrived hour
and twenty-five minutes late, but the time made
up by quick run TO Council Bluffs
The route the Southern Pacific road to
Ogden, Utah. There the Grsssmere rushed to
the Union Pacific road and went TO Council Bluffs
From that point the went to Green River. Miss
Fair went 10 the homo Of Mr.. Oelrichs, at No. 453
Ffth-ave. Mr.. Mackay went TO his in the
Windsor Hotel, where he told Tribune reporter last
night that he considered the time made nothing
marIabe, any fast mail train could equal the record
If it not for the necessary st0ppages. The trip
was pleasant but uneventful. He remarked that II
was however, rather different from the journey he
made the plains in 1866, when it took twenty
two days to 60 less <lan half the distance.
