Speaking of the running of trains at a mile a minute speed, un expert In these matters sald to The Saunterer yes- terday: “Tsee by reference to a published statement that the fastest tnaln In the country will be put ou the road between New York and Sanitoga. According to the leaving and arriving time, {ts speed 1s not a mile a minute, but @ little over forty-nine miles an hour.
