Which was traversed in 101 minutes, the train arriving in Chica- go at BOT D. 1n This was considered to be very fast time by the railroad officials, az the train had necessarily to slow up in going twenty miles through the suburbs of Chicago and passing over the numerous crossings.

 What the Trip Proved.
 In an interview with a reporter at the Grand Central Station Fl. F. Wil- Ter, assistant to Vice President DalY, said that the record trip of Mir. Van derlip's special hal demonstrated the great Improvements made in railroad travel during the last ten years.
 oc gines," said Mir. Willer, can haul q fivecar train on a heavy track and maintain an average speed of seventy miles an hour. The run from New York to Chicago could easily be made on fourteen to fifteen hour sche- dulc If the road was cleared before hand and all arrangements made on the different division.
 The running time from New York to Buffalo was not so fast as it was from the latter point west to Chicago. This Is accounted for by the night running and having to watch the sig nals closely. On Saturday nights there are usually many freight trains on the road, In addition to the ordi- nary passenger traffic. The special had to pass the Lake Shore Limited, Southwestern Limited, and the Twen- tieth Century express, the New York Chicago eighteen-hour train.
 Taking all things into considera- tion, it was very remarkable run. J. Pierpont Morgan's special train made the journey to Chicago in sev- enteen hours, but he did not wish to go any faster
 tMr. Willer added that the long-dis- trance telephone owned by the New York Central between this city and Chicago had been of great assistance on Saturday night and Sunday morn ing in arranging to give Mir. Wander lips special the right of way
 A year ago test record-run, based on a fourteen-hour schedule, from New York to Chicago was made over the New York Central by w. C. Brown, then Second Vice-President of the road. The trip was then made just under fourteen hours. but the fact was not made public, nor were the times of the run between division al points generally known.
