California limited, the fastest regular
train ever run in the world, arrived at
LIE Grande station last evening. 1t
was on time to the minute. 1t had left
Chicago at p. IN. Tuesday, and the trip
from the great lakes almost to the edge
of tho Pacific ocean was made in inst FIVE
minutes over three days. Something
like 22G5 miles of territory, including
prairies, mountains and dsssrt. had been
traversed in just seventy-i,ur hours, al
lowing for the difference in time.
This trip broke the record for overland
travel. Before the Santa Fee esta blished
this time the fastest regular distance
train in the world was the Chicago and
Northwestern and Union Pacific systems,
which covered the ground between Chi
| cago and San Francisco in eighty-five
nours and fifteen minutes. the mileage
being 1856.
The California limited will give to trav-
elers train service which is absolutely
| unexcelled anu winch Includes every i'm
provement in the way of palatial cars
that has BEEN invented to date.
The train last evening Included the
Pullman sleeper Fucino, of ten sections,
drawing room and state room; the Pull
man sleeper Drav., of twelve sections,
drawing room and state room. The fea-
ture was the elegant Pullman compart.
ment car Guiana, comprising seven state
rooms. two drawing rooms and dining
room. Each state room has separate
toilet conveniences. All of these cars,
Nth chair and baggage car, went to
make up the train. 1t was solid through
from Chicago to Los Angeles, vestiu led
throughout. brilliantly lighted by Pintscn
gas ana heaten by steam.
The dining car service is under the ST..
pervision OF Fred Harvey. who conducts
all the eating hcuses on the Santa Fe.
Passengers were enabled to take their
meals at any reasonable hour they de-
| sired to.

eral Passenger Agent j.; J. Byrne and
General Superintendent W. b. Beamer,
| who returned with 1t to this city. At
on a' to San francisco. Direct connection
! was made there 'or ali Northern Califor-

at was really the most pleasant trip l
ever made" said Hon. Henry Warehouse
of Honolulu last evening IN talking bout
his experience on the California limited.
There is nothing in the way of Comfort
that has not been looked after Certainly
! no person. be he bora in a palace and
reared in the greatest luxury, could want
for more convenIences than are afforded
by a trip from Chicago to Los Angeles on
/ this modern tram of the Santa Fe's.
Well. | was kind of sorry we got to the
end of the trip, said Parker L. Baird of
hjcago, last evening. "Talk about hav-
n; eve ything mortal can wish ior-we
had it on the train that got in over the
Santa Fe at 6:05 p. III. There was not q
