LACKAwANNA LIMITED ON NEW TINE.
The new schedule of the Lackawauna
Limited, the peer in equipment and service
of any passenger train in the east, makes it
vastly more convenient, not only to travellers
from New York and Buffalo, but to people
all along the Lackawanna Railroad. In
stead of reaching New York as heretofore at
O'Clock in the evening, it now arrives there
| at S;55 O'Clock. Instead of reaching Buffalo
as heretofore at s o'clock, it now reaches
there at 10 O'Clock. On the old arriving
time the evening in New York or Buffalo
was practically useless, either for pleasure or
business, for the evening was well along by
the time travellers had reached their homes.
BY using one of these useless hours in the
trip to New York and two of the useless
evening hours in the journey to Buffalo, the
Lackawanna has given to all it5 patrons in
one case one hour, and in the other case.
two hours of valuable time during the busi.
est hours of the day, To business men this
means much. To ladies it means less haste
in preparing for departure.
The convenience of these trains is plainly
apparent. Leaving New York at noon the
westbound tram makes Stroudsburg at 2:ae,
Scranton at 3;47, Binghamton at sIS
Oweeo at s;4S, Waverly at 6:3o, Elmira at
o:3S, Corning at o:59, Bath at 7:26, and
Mount Morris at S;33. Leaving Buffalo at
IL o'clock in the forenoon the eastbound
train makes Elmira at 2:I7, Wavefly at :3S,
Owego at 3:oI, Binghamton at S:2S, Scran.
| ton at 500, and Stroudsburg at 6:23 Other
local trains run at convenient hours to these
| points to make connections with these fast
through trains, giving to all towns on the
line the benefit of the change in schedules
