ONLY THREE DAYS FROM CHICAGO.
First Trip Under the New Flyer
Schedule.
The Train Brought Into Sacramento
Exactly on Time After Its
Very Long Journey.

The trip by rail between this city and
Chicago can now be made in three days
under the new time schedule by which
what was recently known as the second
class overland, or slow train, becomes
the real flyer" although the overland
express continues to be run on what was
| always regarded as fast time.
The new flyer bids fair to become a
very popular train, as it carries both
first class and tourist sleeping coaches,
and makes the run between here and
Chicago on shorter time than any reg
ular train ever run across the long
stretch Of plain and mountain.
The first of the flyers to leave Chicago
for the West arrived here yesterday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in charge of
Conductor Nottingham, who had to
make up an hours lost time occurring
east of Wadsworth, New. 1t arrived
squarely on schedule time
The train was composed of eleven
coaches four Of which were sleepers,
three Pullmans and one tourist The
sleeping cars were from Chicago to San
Francisco and Los Angeles, and from
Denver Col, to San Francisco, respect
lively.
dining-car was attached to the
train al Ogden, and went though 20
Oakland.
The train left Chicago at 7:30 p. m. en-
Sunday. 1t reached ogden at / 40 D. m
on tuesday, the second day, and made
the run 10 Sacramento in twenty-one
Tours. 1t probably reached Oakland by
80 o'clock last evening, or very
nearly so, thus making the entire dis
tance from Chicago in three days
The flyer brought a large number Of
passengers, most of whom came through
from Chicago. They were greatlv
pleased with their rapid transit across
the western half of the continent, and
said that despite the speed with which
they were whirled across plain, desert
and mountain, they really enjoyed the
journey.
Some years ago the Jarrett & Palmer
theatrical company got a great deal @:
EratuitOus advertising and celebrity by
making the run by special train in
eighty-three hours, and very few stops
were made, while the regular flyer made
frequent stops for way passengers.

aroused and it was supposed that all
had escaped. While the crew were
busy fighting the flames soldiers
On board assisted in lowering
the boats and supplying passengers
with life belts. There was no wind
and the sea was perfectly smooth.
