OUR TRAIN. Comparatively few of those who may receive copies of the TRANS-CONTINENT- AL will have an opportunity to see the train upon which it is printed. We therefore give a brief description. The train ismade up of eight of the most elegant cars ever drawn over an American railway. They were built by the order of the Messrs. Pullman, to be completed in time for the present excur- sion, and to be first used in conveying the members of the Board of Trade of the city of Boston, and their families, from their homes onthe Atlantic coast to the shores of the Pacifie. The train leads off with a baggage car, the front of which has five large ice clos- ets, and a refrigerator, for the storing of fruits, meat and vegetables. The bal- ance ofthe car is for baggage, with the exception of a space in one corner, where stands a new quarto-medium Gordon Press, upon which this paper is printed. Next comes a very handsome smoking car, Which is divided into four rooms. The first is the printing office, which is supplied with blackwalnut cabinets filled with the latest styles of type for newspaper and job work. This depart- ment, we may say without egotism, has been thoroughly tested, and has already turned out some as fine work as can be done by those of our brothers who have a local habitation. Adjoining this isa neatly fitted up lobby and wine room. Next comes a large smoking room, with euchre tables, ete. The rear end of the car has a beautifully furnish- ed hair-dressing and shaving saloon. Following this come the two new ho- tel cars, the “ Arlington” and the “Re- vere,” both of which are completely and elegantly furnished, and are thorough- ly adapted to the uses for which they are destined. Two magnificent saloon cars, the “Pal- myra and “ Marquette,” come next. The train is completed by the two ele- gant commissary cars, the “St. Charles” and St. Cloud,” cach of which is fin- ished in all of its appointments as any of the other carriages noticed. The entire train is equipped with eve- ry desirable accessory that may tend in the least to promote the ease of the pas- sengers—elaborate hangings, costly up- holstery, artistic gilding, and beautifully finished wood work marking every por- tion of their arrangements. Among the new features introduced with these cars are two well-stocked libraries, replete with choice works of fiction, history, poetry, etc., and two of the improved Burdett organs. These instruments are complete in every detail of stops, pedals double banks of keys, ete. PULLMAN’S PALACE Car CompPry, Incorporated under Special Act of the Legislature of Illinois, A.
