INCREASED TRAIN SERVICE.
Train No. IS Will Run Through to
Bangor in the Spring.

During the past two years the Maine
Central Rrailroad has enacted Il mum
Der of changes in the operation OF It's
road, with a view to aifording its pa
irons better facilities for travel. by
these changes Augusta has been eSpec-
tally favored. and not only That, bui
the cities in general along the line from
Portland To Bangor.
The principal change. and one IN
which Augusta feels a due amount OF
appreciation. is an early morning SER
vice 10 Bangor, is train No. 81. when
leaves the city at $50 A. NJ, ana re-
turns al 40 as train No. 80, giving
those who have business in bangor
practically a whole day in the city.

nections with SkowheSan i'll the even

Th,. latest action on the part of the
management, and one or Whlch the
puolic is showing its appreciation, Is
the addition of Il Pullman car to trains
"A and -. This action went into ef-
feet The first OF the present month, and
is growing daily in popularity.
1t is now announced that another
change will go into effect in the spring.
I'm response 10 a large and growing de-
sire TO run train No. -, which now
stops at WatcrVille for the night,
through to Bangor. reaching that city
at go II. NJ. This train With which
No. Is connects leaves Boston ut |
o'clock in the afternoon, and the con-
veniencr which the increased service
between Boston and Bangor Will afford
the travelling public is clearly appar-
tnt.
Regarding the trip back from Ban
gor. 1t is expected some arrangement
will be made. as should the train run
back to Augusta in the morning. as
No. Al. il would be necessary To leave
Bangor at about o'clock. 1t is
thought. however. that No. A will be
made up ut Waterville, as II present.
The change will give Bangor seven
trains from Boston, daily, which is the
best service which has yet been given
by the road.
