NEW FAST TRAIN BETWE' N THIS
CITY AND BOSTON TO Be FlJT ON.

A new fast train, to be known as the
Rhode Island express, will be run from
Providence TO Boston, commencing on
Monday next. and the announcement
has been officially made by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road company. The Rhode Island ex-
press will leave Providence at $3.50 a.
m. anl arrive in Boston at 1890 a. m.
and will stop at Pawtucket. II is stated
that the train will go through on time,
as it has nothing TO do with points be-
yond Pawtucket.
II was considered that $50 would
probably be the most convenient time
for people who desired to spend the day
in Boston. The regular 9:02 and 1902
trains will be run as usual for the ben
eft of Attleboro, Mansfield and Canton
Junction. There will be an additional
evening train, leaving Boston at 1927
p. m. and arriving in Providence at
11;52 p. m. This train is for local pas
