SUMMIT OF BLACK HILLS, eight
thousand two hundred and fifty-eight
feet above sea level, June 7th, seven
o'clock p. m.-The Pullman dining
car "International," the pioneer of
its class over the Pacific Railroad,
is passing the summit, accompanied
by two Pullman palace sleeping cars,
forming part of a through train to
Sacramento. Among the passengers
from the East are Gen. McCook,
Governor of Colorado, wife and child;
Gov. Bross, of the Chicago Tribune,
and wife and Miss Stewart, of Chica-
go; Professor Miller, of Rush Medi-
cal College; Wait, proprietor of the
Brevoort House, New York; Fitch,
of the San Francisco Bulletin, wife
and two children; William Swin-
ton, of the New York Times;
Elliott, of the Oregon Central Rail-
road Company, wife and child;
Simonton, of the Associated Press,
wife and son, and others. One hun-
dred and forty-six passengers in all.
The dining car seats forty-eight at
the table at once. In its centre is a
compact but pleasant kitchen, with
ice box and provision cellar beneath.
Dinner is now being served, while
moving across the wilderness thirty
miles per hour, over an excellent
road, in cars free from dust and thor-
oughly ventilated, with deliciously
soft mountain air, the party partak-
ing of as luxurious a meal as first-
class eastern hotels can afford. We
vote unanimously that no railroad
traveling in America or Europe
equals this in comfort or pleasure.
