A Much Talked-of Improvement.

The stir the New Jersey Central's re-
cent announcement made in regard tn
its hourly trains between New York
and Philadelphia was far reaching.
Very few cities can boast OF such n
train schedule and the beauty of it is,
that it's easily remembered-a train
every hour on the even hour from a.
III, to p. m,
The locomotives, CARS and Pullman
cars are the most modern. the roadbed
is rock ballasted, and as only hard coal
Is used there is no smoke or cinders.
Every train runs direct to Reading
Terminal, Philadelphia, without change
and many of them cover the distance in
two hours. The Reading route by which
the Philadelphia line is often known, is
not only short way to Philadelphia.
but it is likewise the scenic route, This
service goes into effect ON May is, but
in no way does it impair the fast ana
elegant service of the Royal3Blue line,
which will run independently of the
Philadelphia line. :.
