ton & Maine railroad in regard to tram
~ from White River Junction, which
was announced in the Reformer last
week, has been the cause of an extra
train from White River Junction t
Springfield, Mass, several evenings dur
ing the past week According to the
new rule the train due to leave White
| River Junction at $50 is not held lonE
enough to break the New York connect
ion at Springfield Heretofore TIM
/ train has waited for the Montreal tran
over the Central Vermont but now Il

late. as has been the case several times
recently, the mail ear for Springfield

train carrying both mail and passen

shortly after clock. The chang
is annoying on account of the frequen
DELAY of the afternoon mail from thu
! north Dut inns aHhoSdhee 10 ioio -,

1923 out of Brattleboro will not miss thu
New York connection.
