BARRE, VT, JUNE So' A'VA
1t is pleasing to note growing
tendency on the part Of the railroads
Of the state to give the people an i'm
proved service in every possible way.
Barre has already felt the benefits OF
the wave of accommodation that has
lust come to them from the q. V. Ry,
and the people Of the west side are
apparently elated over the improve
ments on the Rutland Railroad. This
is only one of the many factors that
20 to make up boom for Vermont as
a summer place. The Rutland News
says: "The Rutland Railroad sum-
mer train service is welcome change.
It is the best service ever offered Rut-
land and western Vermont In the lis
tory of the road. 1t has seemingly
been arranged with special reference
to the convenience and needs OF the
people OF Vermont and summer visit
ors. The road should have the pub
lies thanks and, what is more SUBJ
stantial, traffic sufficient to make
the service profitable and if.possible
permanent. A study of the new time
card reveals many very welcome points
of superiority over any previous serv'
ice. Among other improvements or
fered, the Rutland Railroad now runs
a through sleeper from New York,
leaving there at midnight, which en-.
ables vermonters and city people COM
ing here for the summer to arrive
at Manchester, Rutland, Brandon,
Burlington and all intermediate
points at convenient morning hour.
Rutland is reached about nine O'Clock.
The former New York service required
landing here at 2 O'Clock in the morn
ing. The new train can be caught
by boat passengers up the Hudson at
an early morning hour. The conven-
fence OF the new arrangements to
tourists whom Vermo proFo es more
and more to cultivate and ATTRACT
is readily apparent. Then, too, the
night Pullman for New York can be
taken at the Rutland station at 8
O'Clock in the evening, instead Of be.
ing compelled to await the arrival Of
the midnight train from Montreal. On
the afternoon flyer north is through
vestibuled coach as we'll as 'parlor car
from New York to Montreal and on
the train south at the same hour
about 2 o'clock-the same cor service
is run from Montreal through to New
York. On the Bellows Falls division
a train reaches Rutland about 8
O'Clock in the morning which can
be conveniently taken at Ludlow and
and intervening points by shoppers
who wish to have several hours in Rut-
land. They can return home IN
train leaving here little before 4
o'clock in the afternoon and which
makes pretty fair time. While these
trains are "mixed," and faster pas
senger trains would Of course be pref
cradle, the new schedule is very much
superior to the old and will be Of great
advantage to the Rutland merchants.
Those arriving here at O'Clock on
this division may, also, If they desire,
catch the closely connecting train for
Burlington and the north. The new
schedule contains other features that
are commendable and that will be
readily recognized by any travellers
who have occasion to look up or use
the service. The railroad company
has done Rutland, and doubtless it's
elf good turn by providing an ex-
ceedingly satisfactory ard accommo'
dating service for Rutland, Burling-
ton and entire western Vermont.
