lzi. in connection with, the Central
u'r1ad Of New jersey and the Philadel-
rL.s and Reading railroad, established
j1e famous Royal Blue Line train-Ser-
vice between New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington. All these
trains, six each way daily, are equipped
g-l the finest and safest appliances.
The Royal Blue Limited has reduced
rls running time between New York
sd Washington 70 five hours. Not
outstanding the great saving Of time
nus effected in travelling between the
commercial and political capitals Of the
country, the Baltimore and Ohio makes
90 extra charge for its exceptionally
quick service. All other Eastern roads
running limited trains charge from 50
upwards for the privilege Of using
them, o striking contrast 70 the liberal

vantage 70 the public. The Importance
o. the travel between New York and
Washington induced the Company

5000 miles of frst-class steel track rail-
Tay, nearly One-half Of its total mileage
east Of the Ohio river being double
Tracked. Its passenger equipment

power aud cars, is Of the highest grade.
The main trunk line East and West
passes through the most picturesque
Portions Of the middle East and by To-
