MANY PEOPLE SAW THE NEW “HOOSIER LIMITED.”

Train Will Make First Run Next Sunday—Everywhere Pronounced V • A Mighty Fine Train. The engine and the cars that will compose the “Hoosier Limited’* train to run on or dear the time of present trains 30 and 33 on the Monon railroad, were halted in Rensselaer for a few minutes at noon today to give the large crowd assembled at the depot an opportunity to go through the cars and see how nice they are. Close to three hundred people were at the station and most of them went from the front to the rear of the train. The mall car, the combination baggage and smoking car, the ladies* coaches, the dining and observation cars are of exquisite interior finish and the train will be one of the best trains that ever ran over an Indiana railroad, and a great drawing card for traffic between Indianapolis and Chicago. The upholstering is of a very attractive quality and the general appearance of the train is very Inviting. The dining car is also very beautiful and the furniture the nicest that is placed in dining cars. The chair car, with its observation advantages, is indeed a big improvement over anything heretofore seen on the Monon railroad. The entire train indicates that the present policy of the road’s officials is one of progress. The officials who were on the train were very much pleased to see so large a crowd of Rensselaer people on hand to examine the coaches and they expressed themselves as being very greatly pleased with the new train. It will make its first mu. next Sunday, going south at about 1:58 and the other train coming north at about 5:50. -- . e - T ... .... ...
