geles at $3.50 a. m. the following
days and arrive in New Orleans at

Angeles and New Orleans will thus
be cut to fifty-six hours and fifty
minutes, or less than three days for
the trip that now takes more than
-four.
The luxuries afforded the Traveller
and the speed attained are such
that an excess fare of $40 will be
charged between the two terminals.
Connection With Steamships.
The time of the two trains has
been gagged so that direct and quick
connection will be made at both ends
of the route with ocean steamships.
Travelrs from San Francisco bound
for the East and North may take
this train and be whirled to the
Louisiana metropolis and there
transferred to fast trains or steam
ships of the Southern Pacific. On
the western trip the man who is
hurrying to catch one of the vessels
of the Pacific Mail will have an adj
ditional day for business and still
make his boat.
The service when inaugurated will
be unique departure in railroad
history. The trains Will be different
from any others in the United
STATES, the equipment of the latest
and best and every care will be taken
for the safety of passengers.
