Proof of the Pudding. 
Ten hours between New York and 
Buffalo means excellent travelling, ant 
when T say I travelled at the rate o. 
sixty miles an hour, gathered no dirt, 
and was'not bothered with dust, you can 
believe me when I say my steel-gray 
travelling costume was as clean when 
stepped off at Buffalo as when I said 
“ Au Revoir” at Hoboken. 
The Lackawanna is a route worthy o: 
the attention of all who wish to trave 
in luxury, in absolute cleanliness, and in 
security. The “ proof of the pudding is 
the eating,” and the Lackawanna 
Limited will be a favorite train with 
ladies visiting the Pan-American Exposi¬ 
tion.—Marie Jarboe, in Toilettes.
