The above noted time between Montreal and Point St. Pierre, the projected terminuH of the Gaspwia Railway for transfer of passengers and mails; could be reduced by an average running speed of 50 miles an hour; thereby making the full run within eleven hours (llhrs.) At present the Canadian Mail Steamers, during navigation of the St., Lawrence, transfer Passengers and Mails at R>. moufiki, which port is 213* imutival miles further inland than Point St. Pierre, and entails a sail, avera^in^ 14 hour* longer. The uistance by I. C. R. and Gaspesia Railway, from Rimouski to Point St. Pierre, will be 23 miles a«d 172 miles respectively, in all lUo miles. This time «oi»ld therefore be reduced bv average running of 50 mil«8 an hour, to 3 hours 54 mil! , mbtea.l of 14 hours of sailing—a gain of 10 hr.s. G min. in favor of the Gaspesia Railway. It h»6 been established above that the Gaspesia Railway to the Point .St. Pierre terminus will be the shortest possible railway route to the sea-board. At Point St. Pierre there are unequalled facilities for con- etructing wharves and piers into deep water, which would make it not only a summer port, but, without doubt, a wint« port as well. Observations taken during the last two winters have confirmed what the oldest seafaring reeidente of the i!?tnct and others have always asserted ; that navigBtion couid be carried on at th^t part of the Gulf of St. Uwrenca IJ tjie year round. — 8 — « ■.. • t Xlie t'oll<>\vii:itj: ctiloultitloiiM nrc Mul>niittecJ.

Whereas via the Gaspesia Railway no delays could occur, as the passengers and mails could be transferred at any hour of the day all the year round. The trains would take pas- sengers to and from the steamer's side at Point St. Pierre. Passengers from New York to Queenstown, by taking the Canadian route, including the railway travel, would save 14 hrs. 21 min. of time, and have a sea voyage of 4 ds. 10 hrs 36 min. only, instead of 6 ds. hrs. 57 min. bv Fteamer from New York.
