known as Nos. IL and is. between
Kennedy and Corpus Christi, which
will cut out the much complained
Of night layover at Kennedy. These
night trains, Nos. IL and Is, will
carry two sleeper between San An
tonic and Corpus Christi. We had
expected to be able to get the
Brownsville road to join us in run
ming one of these sleepers through
from San Antonio to Brownsville,
via Corpus Christi, but at the pres
ent writing have not been able 70
get them to agree to 1t. However.
We will make double daily connec-
ton anyhow with the Brownsville
road through the Corpus Christi
gateway.
while 1t i true that passengers
arrive in Corpus Christi about 400
a. m. from San Antonio on the new
night train they can remain in the
sleeper until about 7 a. m. On the
return trip No. is will leave Cor
pus Christi at 1920 p. m. but the
sleeper will be open at $50 or 10
o'clock

CORPUS Christi four daily trains each
Iway, three of which will be from
San Antoio. without night layover
al Kennedy. and two trains making
