A little while ago the Co. called for tenders for 500 box cars, but the prices quoted were so high that they will be built at its Montréal shops.

The Co. has recently placed on the day run between Montréal & Toronto, both ways, 2 magnificent vestibuled trains, entirely built in the Montréal shops; each train consists of parlor car, composite cafe-parlor car, 1st class car, & composite baggage & 2nd class car, with compartment for smokers. The parlor compartment of the composite cafe-parlor car has 10 revolving chairs covered in peacock blue plush, & 2 wicker chairs. Large windows are another feature. The dining-room has seating capacity for 12. It is handsomely carpeted, & furnished with leather-covered movable chairs. The kitchen, pantry, refrigerator, wine locker, gas range & buffet, are arranged in a most compact way with a view to quick service & a saving of space. At the further end of the car are the smoking room & men's saloon with large open lavatory. The smoking room is supplied with 5 arm chairs & a sofa, the latter accommodating 3 persons.
