admit that a contract has been entered into
between the New York and New England,
the Housatonic and the Long Island rail-
roads for regular passenger service be-
tween Flatbush avenue. Brooklyn, Long
Island City and Boston, over the lines
OF the three roads-the Long Island to
Oyster Bay, the Housatonic from Oys-
ter Bay to Hawleyville, Conn, and
the New England from Hawleyville to
Boston. Arrangements have also been
made for the handling of freight over
these lines to and from all points on Long
Island and especially Brooklyn. They say
that this contract is not necessarily antag-
onistic to the New York, New Haven and
Hartford, because it is more especially in
the interest of Brooklyn business. 1t is
not expected that the new line
will do passenger service from
New York city to Boston, but will
take all the business between Boston
and New England points and Brooklyn,
because the time will be exactly the same
from Flatbush 10 Boston as is now made
by the fastest trains from the Grand Cen
trail depot over the New Haven road
to Boston, and will save all Brook
lyn passengers the loss of time in
going from Brooklyn to the Grand
Central station, as well as the annoy
ance incident to the transfer of
baggage. The passenger cars will run
directly through from Flatbush avenue to
Boston without change, the cars being
transferred only a short distance on the
sound by float, 80 that person can take a
seat at Flatbush avenue in Brooklyn, and
be landed at the New York and New Eng
land station in Boston without having left
the cars. Sleepers will be run between
New York and and Boston over this route.
