A New York Central innovation.

George H. Daniels, of the New FORK Cen
tral & Hudson River Railroad, has made
an announcement which is of rather start
ling nature, but it is one which ought to
please the patrons of that great system, and
particularly those who travel on mileage
books. The circular reads as follows:
Mileage books, good for 500 miles and
1000 miles travel, are now on sale at all
stations on the New Y FORK Central divisions
and branches) at the rate of $40 and $40
respectively.
These tickets are good until used, and are
available for passage on the main line of the
New York Central, and all of its branches
and divisions, including the Harlem, Put
nam, Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg,
Carthage & Adirondack, Geneva & Lyons
and the Adirondack Utica to MontreaD di-
visions.
Mileage books will be issued in the name
of the head of family or firm, and will be
available for the use of any member of such
family OF for any traveller for a firm, pro-
vided the name of such member or traveller
is written in the book by the agent selling
It, in the place designated. They will be
honored for transportation by the conduct
ors of all trains, including limited trains, but
only to the end of the run of each conductor.
If the holder of such ticket desires to ride
beyond the run of conductor, or on night
train, or to a point on branch line, he
should present his mileage ticket to the
ticket agent, who will detach the proper
mileage and issue mileage exchange ticket,
on which baggage will be checked to any sta
ton on the New York Central or any of its
branch lines, thus avoiding the necessity Of
being disturbed after retiring, or of recheck-
ing baggage the Pittsburgh Post.

a lack Of ships. officers and enlisted men. This
will be distinct disappointment to some Of the
