 Tenth Anniversary of Service.
 Ten years ago tomorrow the New York. New Haven & Hartford rail- road took over the operation or tho Berlin branch between Mddletown and Berlin. Fares previous to that time had been collected at three diff fcrent intervals. but with the taking over of the road by the railroad, tickets were issued making unneces- sary the frequent collections. The conductors of the Connecticut com pany were displaced by railroad conductors who received and now receive the same wage scale those operating the Sprin ngfieId to Hart ford trains. The fare today is IS cents for the distance or but three cents more than it was 10 years ago which at least is one thing that has not jumped in price as have other things The railroad, on la king over the line, kept the same rate of fare.
 
 incoming and outgoing trains from New York and Boston were met by the branch.
 One noticeable thing about the change made was that the New Hay en road installed heavier and speedier type of car for use on the road. Where the old car avera ged 1 , miles an hour. the present typ" will average 30 to 40 miles an hour
