TO LEAVE GRAND CENTRAL
CONSOLIDATED TO GET OUT As
 SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

Trains at the New TerminaI of the
 Pennsylvania Road---Dissatisfie for
 Some Time With the Cramped Quar- ters With the New York Central.
 New York, March 2.-The World to- morrow will say: "A prominent official of the Pennsylvania railroad announced yesterday that the New York. New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad would aban- don the Grand Central station as soon as practicable and unload it's passenger and mail trains thereafter at the new terminal of the Pennsylvania railroad
 For some time the New Haven road has been dissatisfied with it's accom- modations at the Grand Central station, where 1t shares the cramped quarters with the New York Central. The schedules have always been arranged by the New York Central management without regard to the convenience of the New Haven road, and, to cap all, the rent has been so high that the New Haven officials would have moved long ago had there been any other possible Way to get into the city.
 The construction of ithe enormous Pennsylvania terminal between Thirty first and Thirty-third streets and Sev- enth and Ninth avenues, in Manhattan, and the projection of the so-called New York connecting railroad and tunnel under the East river at Thirty-fourth street, have at last afforded the long looked-for opportunity. Just as soon as the terminal can be completed and the tunnel dug the Pennsylvania will take the New Haven road under it's wing.'
