A Big Improvement.

Nothing which has occurred in con-
nection with the Lackawanna railroad
since the advent of the new manage
ment shows so conclusively the extent
to which this line is spreading u as
its new time card, which goes into eff
feet December 18th. This time card
indicates that the Lackawanna and the
Nickel Plate together, hereafter. will
play a very important part in the
transportation of passengers between
New York and Chicago.
Under the Lackawanna time card,
which goes into effect next Sunday,
are shown three through trains be-
tween New York and Chicago in each
direction every day. These are equip
ped with through sleeping cars of the
latest and best design. Coaches run
ming between New York and Chicago
are first class in every particular.
Another indication of this new time
card showing the new spirit of the
Lackawanna is seen in a west-bound
train which leaves New York at mid
night Up to this period of its exist
ence the latest train leaving New York
on the Lackawanna railroad was at
$3.50 in the evening. The new man
agement at once recognized the de-
mand of the travelling public for a
train leaving New York at a time
which admitted of an evenings enjoy
ment in the metropolis, and this new
train was decided upon. This is one
Of the through Chicago trains and un-
doubtedly it will become nj of the
most popular on the road. 1t viii

the quantity sold over the package on
