Great Run of the Empire State Ex-
press.

A feat in railrOading was performed
Saturday on this section of the New York
Central, which, though not infrequenJly
paralleled on this most efficient and
speedy of roads, is certainly calculated
to make one wonder The feat was moth
ing less than the accomplishment by tire
great Empire State Express of a distance
of AS miles in l40 minutes, something
scarcely possible with safety, to less
thoroughly governed and mechanically
perfect road.
The Empire arrived in Syracuse Sat
urday afternoon forty-one. minutes late,
was delayed three minutes by its stop at
Utica, and four minutes in this city by
accommodation train No. u, but arrived
in Albany at 7,OS, having rrade the 14S
miles from Syracuse in 40 minutes, this
of course being actual running time
with stop deducted. Such moving across
county for such distance is enough to
convince any old time obstructionist that

whole matter is awaiting the action of
