The engineer stopped his train and Il

regular engine was in waiting and
when the flyer" left the latter place II
was &c minutes late. The run to Fort

1l4K minutes, an average of SIS Clio
miles an hour. When the train pulled
out of Fort Wayne for the last lap OF
the long journey 1t was only 81 min
utes late. Miles were frequently reeled
off in from A to so seconds and an av-
erage speed of a mile a minute was
easily maintained over long stretches
of track.
President Underwood Of the Erie
Railroad, was a passenger. He ex-
planned that there was no especial sig
nificance attached to his making the
journey to Chicago on the first run of
the new train. He said he lad an en-
gagement here at 9 o'clock, this MORN

cilities offered by the Pennsylvania to
keep his appointment. He spoke in high
praise of the train and the appoint
ments and complimented the train
