SOUTRERN's NEW FLYER.
1874 Miles Between New York and New
Orleans in 33 Hours.

The Southern Railways new mail
flyer from New York to New Or
leaus,, which made it's first trip Sun
day week ago, is the fastest regu-
lar train ever run through the South.
The distance from Jersey City to
New Orleans is 1874 miles, and this
was covered in the rattling good tin Q
of thirty three hours and five min
utes. From New York to Atlanta
the flyer is run as a mail train strict
ly. 1t has no passenger equipment,
but after passing Atlanta it picks up
a coach for New Orleans. Already
the business people along the line
from Washington to Atlanta have
expressed a desire to have passenger
accommodations provided, but this
will hardly be done. The train was
made up especially for the quick
movement of mail and its schedule
cannot be maintained If passengers
are handled. From Atlanta the Cen
tral Railway of Georgia has put on
fast mail service to Southwest
Georgia and points in Florida, which
really amounts to saving of twenty
four hours to some sections. Begin
ming November Is the sunse, limited

aud without delay will pick up the
mail from San Francisco The SER
vice from New York to San Francisco
via New Orleans will be the fastest
