' The stir the New Jersey Central's re cent announcement made In regard to its hourly trains between Now York and Philadelphia, was far reaching. Very lew cities can boast of such a train schedule and the beauty of it Is, that it's easily remembered a train every hour on the even hour from 7 a. m. to G p. m. The locomotives, cars and Pullman cars are tho most modern, the roadbed is rock ballasted, and as only hard coal Is used there is no smoke or cindeis. Every train runs direct to Reading Terminal, Philadelphia, without chungc and many of thein cover the distunee In two hours. The Reading route by which the Philadelphia lino Is often known, Is not only a short way to Philadelphia, but It Is likewise the scenic route. Tills service goes Into effect on May IS, but In no way does It impair tho fast and elegant service of tho Royal Blue line, which will run Independently of the Philadelphia line.
