Friday night Westminster to Baltimore train discontinued

The Friday night train to Westminster from Baltimore, to accommodate persons desiring to attend the theatre, has been discontinued, because of lack of sufficient patronage.

The Railroad Company did not give the train a fair trial. Many persons do not attend places of amusement during Lent, and the train was started at the very beginning of Lent. Had the train been started the first of December the result would have been different.

Or, if the train had been continued during April, we believe the patronage would pay more than the cost.
