crown prince the emperor sent the
most urgent advice to the car that

Fort Wayne, Ind, June 1S.--All

broken Monday morning by the Penn

Chicago, June 13.-0n its initial run
from New York, the Pennsylvania
railroads 1S-hour flyer, 'the fastest
long-distance train in the world, ar
rived in this city at 1852 o'clock Mon
day morning, three minutes ahead OF
the schedule time. In order to accom-
plish this feat. extraordinary achieve
ments In the way Of last running
were necessary. After leaving Pitts
burg the tender Of the big Atlantic
type engine which had been attached
at that city for the run to Crestline,
Ohio, developed a hot-box about 20
miles east OF Mansfield, Ohio. The
engineer stopped his train and Is
minutes werc lost In futile Efforts to
cool the troublesome axle. Finally a
freight engine was attached and the
train limped into Crestline. Here the
regular engine was in waiting and
when the flyer" left the latter place
1t was rs minutes late. The run to
Fort Wayne. 131 miles away, was made
in ia Il minutes, an average Of 6S Clio
miles an hour. When the train pulled
out Of Fort Wayne for the last lap Of
tho long journey 1t was only 81
minutes late, l61H minutes Of the lost
time having been made up. Miles
were frequently reeled off in from Al
to 30 seconds and an average speed Of
mile a minute was easily maintained
over long stretches of track.
Already the Pennsylvania railroad
officials are discussing the possibility
Of reducing the running time between
Chicago and New York to is hours
and 1t is not improbable that such Q
schedule may be attempted in the neat
future.
