Roads AnnihiIating Time.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Following
the example set by the Pennsylvania
last week, the New York Central will
tomorrow inaugurate it's new fast
train service between New York and
Chicago, reducing the time between
the two cities to 1S hours. Despite the
fact that this is the fastest train ser
vice for long distances ever attempted
in this country, it is the belief in rail-
road circles that it is but the FORE
runner of still further reductions. With
the completion of the Pennsylvania
terminal in New York next year it is
reported that the time between this
city an the western metropolis win
be clipped at least two hours, bring
ing it down to 16 hours for the 1000
miles journey.
