   Centennial Coaches - Through the courtesy of Superintendent Purdy and General Ticket Agent Wee, of the Midland, a large number of our citizens availed themselves of the opportunity to interview the Centennial coaches "New York" and "Philadelphia", at the depot in this village, on Friday and Saturday. These coaches are fitted up on a liberal scale, with a view to the comfort and convenience of passengers. The main apartment is furnished with the Pittsburg folding chair, elegantly upholstered in crimson plus, which are easily changed to coaches. This apartment is also supplied with movable tables and other conveniences. Toilet rooms for both ladies and gentlemen are admirably arranged, wit all the modern improvements. A large refrigerator, for storing provisions, etc., is an important item in the outfit, and the Company will furnish parties with the use of crockery, glass ware and cutlery, and conviences for cooking, so that nothing is to be provided by excursionists but the provisions, to give them all the comforts of a hotel. As the cars will remain near the grounds during the day in Philadelphia, they will afford a safe and pleasant h ome to parties while thee, as the arrangements for lodging are most complete, and each coach is in charge of a careful and attentive porter. A party of twenty-five can be accommodated in each coach, and the fare for the round trip from Norwich - six days, giving four days in Philadelphia - is $23.50.
