j,. the New York correspondent of the 
Toledo Commercial, says in a recent letter:—“The 
preparations for summer travel are already begin¬ 
ning. The railway companies are going to offer tre¬ 
mendous inducements to excursionists this year- 
greater than ever before. The new fast Time Table 
goes into effect on all Hie great trunk llnosouthe 
]3tli instant, and it is calculated to run through from 
New York to Chicago oven an hour or two quicker 
than by the famous lightning time of last year. An¬ 
other new te.anirc this season will he the throwing 
open to travel uf the newly completed Niagara Falls 
Division ol tlie Erie Railway, which is destined 
to open a now phase of excursion travel to that 
delightful spot, by enabling passengers to leave New 
York after breakfast in tlie morning and go throughto 
Niagara Falls by daylight, reaching there in time for 
supper. Tii is may seem wonderful nt first sight, but 
remember we are living in an ago of successive won¬ 
ders. Yet one cannot avoid a little start of surprise 
at, the wonderful Improvement in modern (Xteiirsion 
travol, which enables a tourist to take his seat after 
breakfast any morning In one of those recently con¬ 
structed Palace Coaches, t lie yneon City, the Cres¬ 
cent City, the Jay Gould or the James Fisk, Jr., (oijeli 
costing upwards of 925,001.) and to he whirled at tho 
rate of thirty mites an hour past a panorama of ever- 
changing beauty, to the Canadian border, reaching 
i hero in season for a good sapper and a quiet smoke 
before bedtime. 
“And for the convenience, too. of travelers from 
the West.passing through Buffalo from the Lake 
Shore route, yet desiring to view Niagara Falls en 
passant, the Erie Company have determined to issue, 
freo of charge, to all such, tickets from Buffalo to 
Niagara Falls and return, thus affording an oppor¬ 
tunity to visit, without extra cost, this grandest of 
natural wonders.”
