The fastest regular train in the world was put into service on the Reading's Atlantic City line, July a, and for the opening day the company scored a rare triumph in a phenome nal run, making the entire distance from Camden to the shore in 48 min utes, or at an average speed of 70 miles an hour. The run was made in 4 minutes less than the regular sched ule, but so evenly and smoothly did the train glide over the solid road-bed that nobody on board, except profess ional railroad men, knew what a record breaking run was being made. The new train is scheduled to carry passengers from this city to the shore in 60 minutes. Of that time eight minutes are allowed for the ferry to Camden and transfer to the cars there, leaving 5a minutes for the run of 55I miles to Atlantic The boats leave Chestnut and South streets, in this city, at 3:40 p. m., and the train is scheduled to leave Camden at 3:48, arriving at Atlantic City at 4:40. THE RECORD-BREAKING RUN BEGAN. A slight delay at the ferry made the train a1 minutes late in leaving Cam den, and it was just 3:50 when en gineer Charles Fahl pulled the throttle valve of the big Baldwin compound engine No. 1037, and began the record-breaking run. There were five cars in the train, a Pullman, a combi nation and three ordinary passenger cars. All five cars were filled with passengers. The run through the outskirts of Camden, over the West Jersey tracks, and through near-by villages, was nec essarily made at a slightly reduced rate of speed ; but by the time Strat ford, 10 miles out, was reached, the tram was literally flying. There was no perceptible let up until the mead ows on the other stde of Pleasantville were reached, and a few minutes later the train glided into Atlantic City depot at 4:38, one and one-half min utes ahead of the schedule time, and 48 minutes atter leaving Camden, having made the run at an average speed ot 70 miles an hour. NEARLY 90 MILES AN HOUR. While the 4 minutes were made up all along the route there were sections when a speed of nearly 90 miles an hour was reached. According to the regular schedule the seven miles from Brigantine Junction to Pleasantville are made in 5 minutes, or at a speed of 84 miles an hour. The a 6 miles from Winslow Junction to Pleasant ville are scheduled for ai minutes, or 74.38 miles an hour, and in this run it is safe to say that the speed was near ly, if not (mite, at the rate of 80 miles an hour for that distance, as it covers the section of the road best adapted for fast running.
