| At the Railroad Convention
held on the 27th ult., at Cleveland, Ohio, our railroad
{Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR} was
represented by M. W. Humphreys, President, and Geo. B. Fleece, Chief
Engineer and Superintendent. It is a fortunate circumstance that the
last rail is laid just in time to open the road for through travel on
the great Spring time card, to take effect on the 15th instant. |
| Falling into the line of
connected travel, we anticipate a large passenger business for the road
from the day of its opening. We are indebted to Mr. Fleece for the
following figures which show the condensed time card to take effect on
the 15th inst. between Louisville and Memphis and Nashville and Memphis. |

| It will be observed that the
time between Memphis and Louisville is reduced to 18 hours on one train,
this being the time heretofore made via Decatur from Memphis to
Nashville. The time between Memphis and Nashville via Clarksville will
be 14 hours, a reduction of 4 hours in the best time practicable by any
other route. We are informed that the whole road will be in first class
order by the day of opening, and doubt not that the connections will be
regularly made to the entire satisfaction of the traveling public. |
