A PERFECT RAILROAD,

Christian Leader has to say regarding
the Great Western Railway of Eng
land;
We have travelled on all Of the great
lines of America, and there is not a
county in England which we have not
been in, We have also done more or
less Continental travelling, and have al
ways been observing in taking note of
everything that would be of interest to
travellers in making journeys. We are
therefore we'll qualified to know what
constitutes perfect railway in every
sense of the word; and when we say
that the Great Western Railway of En-
gland, by far the most important and
the largest system in the Old Country,
most emphatically fulfills all the re-
quirements that the most exacting or
oapricious traveller could demand we
believe that we are stating a fact that
will be confirmed by all, who, like our
selves, have spent many hours and
travelled many miles over it's rails.
The Great Western should be invaria-
bly, selected by all who, on landing at
Liverpool, proceed to London. We make
this statement emphatically, because it
is just as easy, it costs no more to get
the best, and the Great Western fulflls
all these conditions-more so than any
other line in England. The haste and
hurry with which Americans do" En-
gland is poverbial, and it Is a great
pity. Instead of rushing by the very
first train from Liverpool to London, as
is usually the case with Americans, it
would be much more to their advantage
to devote a few days-at least two or
three-en route, and to break the jour
ney at the very many interesting points
along the line of the Great Western.
This company is very DESTROYS that
its patrons should have every oppor-
tunity to see and appreciate the beaut-
les of Old England, the most interesting
and picturesque sections of which are
reached by their lines. Hence, they
are not only willing but are DESTROYS
that their passengers should break
their trip at any station they desire,
and this without any additional
charge.
There is not a line in England on
which we have not travelled, and GER
tainly, as between Liverpool and Lon
don, it offers in every sense of the word
such superior advantages that we I'M
hesitatingly advise all that visit Old
England, either for business or pleasure,
to travel over the Great Western. If
their time or inclinations will not allow
them to avail themselves of the privi-
leges extended of breaking their jour
ney, why, it is all the more important
that they should take their tickets via
this line For they will certainly get a
better knowledge Of the beautiful En-
glish country by travelling this route
than by any other between Liverpool
| and London.
Another great advantage of the Great
Western is that IT has three. distinct
routes between these points, and a
| comparatively slight portion is dupli.
| Gated on the three,%thus enabling its
| patrons to proceed via one route and
| return via another
The Great Western is, as stated, the

every possible appliance for the comfort
and safety Of its3patrons. It's equip

as for courtesy and attention to the
wants of its passengers 1t would be sim

is a pleasure to commend it to our
readers, and 1t should be selected by
all who want the best service.
