WAN TO HY RECOGNIZED. Tho Grand ‘Trunk seems determined to fores arecugnition from Vanderblit, ‘Thus farhe has entirely {gnored St and persistant- jyrefnsed to meet any of Its cut rates on the pound that the Grand Trunk was not worthy his notice, and conseauently he would pakeno war upon it, As long as thls road alone culeastbound rates, even thourh lt was yelling hundreds of tickets to Boston dally, whlch business Vanderbilt formerly almost neluslvely controlled, he matutained tho $t6 rato to Buston and the $15 one to New York. Hutas son as the Pennsylvania began to giltickets to Boston vin. New York at the jame rate as he was selling thom vlu Aluany aml Troy, he would not have it, and at ohce began the present war ty making Now York rates $5 and ston rates 86, ‘Tho Grand Trunk, smarting ben the slight put upon it by Vanderbilt's anuonncement that he was fighting the Penn sylvauia only, and tot the Grand ‘Trunk, be. an to sell round-trip tickets to Boston for {o, good for thirty days, which greatly in- treased its sitles, but yet Mr. Vanderbilt re- fused to take any notice of It. ‘The Grand ‘Crunk then reduced the rates toBusfa}o to $5. Tho Buffalo business has always been almost exclusively in the hands. of the Vanderbilt roads, and the Grand Trunk people enteuluted that this would force Vanderbilt ta recognize thelr road ay t rival line worthy of his notice, But again they were mistaken, and Vandorbiit still re. {used to take any notice of them, ‘Che Grand Frunk people, however, seam to Ue deter- mined to force recognition from Vanderbilt, cost what It may, J fatorting they made a new move, which will very likely” have tho ect. of bringing Vanderbilt out of tis corner. When thelr office opened yesterday morning {hoy annoincod that they would sell round trip tickets to Buttalo and return for $10, good for thirty dave; passengers to pay $15 and getting a rebate nl ir $5, payable when they return to ils clty aint is the most scrlous blow the Grand Trunk has yet dealt the Vanderbilt roads, and It is hard to seo how Vunderbilt can avoli meeting this cut In gome way or other. By this action the Grand ‘Trunk badly cuts the rates to all tho principal local points on tho New York: Central, and its hunyy gales yesterday showed that its action was haying the desired effect. Passengers buying these round-trip tickets to Butfato and return can take tho New York Contral at that polnt and gotonny place on that line they desire for two cents a mile, the New York Central beng compelled by lin not to charge more than that amount. ‘Thus, if 0 passenger wants to go to Rochester, sixty-nine and one- half miles, lie pass $1.89 In addition to the $5 from Chicago to Buffalo, which makes tho through rate from Chicago to Rochester $6.59, while the regular rate is nearly $14, ‘Tho passenger can then romain thirty days, and {gs sure of being uble te re- {urn for the stine amount paid from Chicago teRochester. It will be the same with other focal pulnts on the New York Central as far tastas Albany. For Sxnuiple tho distance from Buttato to Albany is 208 miles, which makes the local rate $5.00, which added to the 85 rate trom Chicaga to Butfalo makes the through rate $10.9), ora saving of over Bifrom the regular rate one way, and twice ihat maount both ways. Tho General Passenger Agents of the Mich- {gan Central aud Lake Shore & Michigan Southern informed their Guneral Managers of this state of affairs. ‘They have evidently informed Mr. Vanderbilt, but upto Inst even- Ingno reply was received, and consequently no change In tates was made by the Vanderblit toads, ‘The Indications, however, are that they will begin to take notice of | the Grand ‘Trunk cuts to-day, and lively times may be anticipated. the cast-bound passenger business still continues very heavy. All those who have hot been East yet seem to be anxious totake advantage of the low rates andl go theranow. ‘Tho Grand ‘Trunk continues to do the heav- Jest business, on account of Its selling round Up tickets goud for thirty days. ‘Lhe Penn- sylvanta, and Balthnore & Ohio Roads ara doing an Increased business sinea they re- duced thelr rates to Philadelphia, Baltiinore, and Washlugton to $5.
