Empire State Express in Foot-Ball.

The New York Central’s Empire State Express Is recognized as the swif teat aodsurest train operated by America’s greatest railroad, and considered the very best means to cover the ground in the time required. It is for this reason that the Harvard University football team named their best and surest play of the season of 1902 the “Empire State Express," for they believed it to be the most reliable play in their program. It was-success-ful throughout Che season until it met Yale’s “20th Century Limited" play, which was just as swift, safe and sure, but Bad longer endurance and was “limited" only by the sise of the field. The • names of the rival teams very correctly describe the difference in the famous trains, the “Empire State” running only from New York to Buffalo, while the “20th Century Limited" makes the 980 miles between New York and Chicago in twenty hours every day of the year. Great is the New York Central and great are the trains it operates—swift, safe and reliable. —From the Brooklyn StandardUnion.
