WILL RUN DINING CARS.

The Consolidated Road to Operate l
 Them on the ssFlyers,'-TheY May
 be Used on Other Trains-Will
 Probably be Built at the Local Car
 Several years ago the Consolidated rail road started an innovation. It was the running of dining cars on through trains to Boston. The dining cars were placed on the Boston express, which at that time left this city for Boston at about 6 o'clock, but which now leaves at 5:52 o'clock in the afternoon. From the first the dining carl was greatly appreciated by the travel ing public. It was only run through las far as Worcester, Mass, but even at that the car was crowded at alttimes, and there were often instances when people, hungry
 enough to eat sole leather, were obliged to
 go without their dinners until they ar rived in Boston.
 The dining cars did not run but few years. All of sudden they were taken off and then howl went up from the travel ing public. They missed the ear~greatly, and letters urging it's restoration were sent to the newspapers in this, and in fact all of the New England states. In some of them the Consolidated road was roundly cen sured for it's alleged disregard of the wants and comforts of the people. The writers | did not take into consideration that the | ears were conducted by private corpor-
 ations, the same as the Mann boudoir l cars, which were in use about the l some time, and were not run wholly by | the Consolidated road, though over its tracks. Every person of any ordinary de gree of intelligence we'll knows that the Consolidated road spares no pains or ex- pense that will add to the comfort of its patrons.
 In short time the travellers over the Consolidated road will have the privilege
 of partaking of good dinner, served in
 an excellent manner, on their trip from New York to Boston and from the Hub to
 the metropolis. These dining cars will be ! run on the new flyers that were first put | on the road and which makes the trip be-
 tween the terminal stations in five hours.
 The trains are composed exclusively of | parlor cars and their patrons do not get
 an opportunity to get good meal until ! they reach their destination. The trains
 stop just long enough in this city and in
 Providence, the main stations, for one to ! rush out for a sandwich and then back to the cars. The officials of the Consolidated road ! realized several weeks ago that dining cars ! on the flyers were an absolute necessity ! Arrangements were then discussed for hay ing some of them built at the company'f |, shops in this city. They will probably
 commence work upon them in few weeks ! When the work is started it will be rushed through as rapidly as possible, and befor' the early frosts of fall make their appear ance the new dining cars will be in use They will be fitted and furnished in ligh .. woods throughout. At one end will be kitchen of the best appointment in ever.
 particular, and the best of china, glass ant silverware, the whitest Of napkins ant : table covers, snd the best of service will be provided. The cara will run between
 this city and Providence, giving at lsas | two hours for 8 psrson to satisfy his hun ger.
 One of the officials of the Consolidate road said yesterday: "We feel the need 0 dining cars on our through trains fully a ! much as does the public. For some tim z the matter of building some has been unde s consideration. No plans have yet bee made. They will be decided upon in 3 week or ten days, and it will be but shol j, time oompal ative]y when tho road will | @ equipped with the best appointed dinin @ cars in the country"
