The General Agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. informs us that the Empress of India brings advices of the inauguration on the 18th instant by the Canadian Pacific Rail way Company of a much accelerated overland train service between Vancouver and Montreal. This fast train known as the "Imperial Limited" leaves Vancouver daily a. 115 p.m. and runs through to Montreal, without change, in 100 hours, thereby shortening the time crossing the Continent by 24 hours.
Specially luxurious and newly designed dining and sleeping cars are run through on the "Imperial Limited," which makes close connection at Fort William with the Company's Lake Steamers for passengers wishing to break the journey and enjoy the lake scenery between Fort William and Owen Sound, without additional charge. Through passengers have also the option of leaving the main line at Revelstoke and proceeding through the famous Kootenay Mining Country in British Columbia and out again over the new Crows Nest Pass linc to Dunmore Junction, along all of which excellent fishing and shooting is found, and by which route through sleeping car accommoda tion has also been provided.
