to run daily. Sunday included.
| Commencing Monday, June 9th, train
leaving Boston at SEQ a. m. and Port
land at l1.2O a. m. will run through to
Mount Desert Ferry and Bar Harbor
without any wait in Bangor, arriving at
Bar Harbor at $50 p. M, and Pullman
parlor car will run through to Mount
Desert Ferry instead of to Bangor, only.
So, too, the train leaving Boston at 8

have connection through to Bar Har Dor,
arriving there at 9.l5 p. m. This train,
however, will carry parlor car to Bangor
only.
Full summer schedule on all main lines
and branches Of the Maine Central rail-
road will take effect Monday, June 9th
and will be similar to that of last year
with few very important changes as
follows: The a. m. train from Port
land running to Waterville only and
there making connection for Skowhegan
will also this year make connection for
Belfast.
But perhaps the most notable change
and accommodating the greatest number
OF people will be that whereby passengers
for points on the old Knox & Lincoln
division and Rockland, instead of being
compelled to wait in Portland after the
arrival of the 9 a. m. train from Boston
the departure of local train at l.15 p. m. j.,
will be taken to Brunswick on the Bar
Harbor express leaving at 10. 80 D. M,
and then run express so far as the travel
will permit to Rookland, arriving there
at 4.10 p. m, feature which the people
on the line of the branch in question
will undoubtedly appreciate. @
The afternoon train leaving Portland
at sos p. IN. is this year to be continued
through to Rockland the same as last
year, but instead of returning from
Rockland as night train 1t will come
back as a morning train, leaving Rock
land at a. M; other trains from Rock
land to run as usual
This change to have train leave Rock
land early in the morning is partially
due to the fact that the Boston & Maine
railroad is to quicken up their time SO
that the train leaving Portland for Bos.
ton at a. M, will reach Boston at IL so
inCtopd nf q S0 n, M th,1c oil
ing connection with the p. N. train
for New York, and this, Of course, not
only from Rockland. but from Water
vile, Lewiston and intermediate stations.
Another notable feature will be the es-
tablishment of additional trains between
Portland and Lewiston, a train to leave
Lewiston to 2.15 p. M, connecting with
the $50 p. m. train for Boston, as has
been run during tic winter, this train
in addition to oil the other trains run
between Portland and Lewiston, to re-
turn leaving Portland at p. M, or of.

ton for Portland at 4.15 p m and this 8
p. m. train will carry parlor car through
from Boston, to return from Lewiston
