 FAST TIME RECENTLY AND NEW
 ENGLAND'S GREAT RAILWAY.
 A gentleman who has travelled a great
 deal both in this country and Europe,
 the railway question, watching records
 of various descriptions, writes to the
 Journal and Courier" calling attention
 to the fact that although the news
 papers have had a great deal to say
 in regard to fast time records recently made not only by a railway in this country, but two of the great English lines, that New Englands great rail- way, the New York, New Haven and Hartford, was by no means behind the times in fast time records, and that the Bay State Limited, which runs every day except Sunday between Boston and New York, each direction, via the Shore Line, in exactly five hours, is perhaps not behind other great rec ords in certain distances travelled, and that taken as whole 1t is certainly a very fast train. The actual running time on this train is from forty-eight the miles are made in minute, or even less, thus maintaining practically as | high a speed as has ever been attained | in this country
 Naturally it is gratifying to feel that New England is not behind other parts of the world in this era of rapid travel and there is no doubt of one thing that there is no line in the universe | that can with safety operate trains al a higher speed than the Consolidated | With the completion of it's new road as it might be termed, between New York and New Haven, there will be l some records made which We think vii astonish the world,
 Our correspondent also calls particu. lar attention to the fact that there l is no other road in the United States l that begin to give the efficient ser vice that the New Haven does. Liter. I ally a time table between New York and New Haven is considered unnec.

So frequently do the trains run | that anyone requiring to take trains l between those places only need go tc 1 the station and take the first trair running out while the through service 1 between New York and Boston is the most complete of any two cities the | same distance apart in the world. l A recent trip was made by the writel l to Stockbridge and Lenox, over tht 1 Berkshire division of the New Haven l for the first time since the New Haver | acquired the old Housatonic line. an( l could not fail to note the great improve ment shown in the service, both a! | regards equipment and time schedule l as well as increased number of trains l showing that the aim of the Consol l dated road has been, and is. to con
 stantly improve it's service for the
 benefit of the travelling public. Il 1 fact our correspondent, who has tray l eled in nearly every state in the union and very largely throughout Europe 1 sums up in his letter by stating tha 1 there is certainly no road in which ont can feel greater safety and more reason l ably sure of being on time, or in fact | in every sense of the word more satis | fled than when on the great New Ha I
