EXCURSION III. 



TO LA PECHE ON THE GATINEAU. 



The Third Excursion of the Club will most probably be held on 

 Saturday, September 3rd, to La PI:che, on the Gatineau Valley Railway, 

 The great success of the first excursion up the Gatineau, added to the 

 fact that a large number of members who have asked tor another expedi- 

 tion by the Gatineau Valley Road, have induced the Council to arrange 

 for another outing as soon as possible. Definite arrangements cannot yet 

 be made as to the prices of the tickets. These will probr^bly be about 

 50 cents for adults. The larger the number that attend, the smaller 

 will be the price. There is no desire to make any profit on the Club 

 excursions, all that is wanted is to cover the necessary expenses. An 

 effort is always made to get as large an attendance as possible so as to 

 popularise the Club and its objects, which are to bring together for a 

 pleasant day in the country those interested in the various branches of 

 Natural History, and to take every opportunity of inducing more to 

 study the things of beauty which surround them on every side. 

 Arrangements are always made to give members of the Club an advan- 

 tage in the prices of the tickets ; but the excursions ure open to all 

 without exception. The Council trusts that every member will help to 

 make this excursion a succes and endeavour to attend and induce others 

 to do so also. Definite notice of the prices of the tickets and of the times 

 of the trains will be given in the September Ottav^a Naturalist, which 

 our readers are respectfully requested to consult. Every notice of an 

 excursion which is made by circular costs, for printing and postage, 

 about $4 which has to be made up by charging a higher rate for the 

 tickets. If, therefore, members will look for Notices on the top outside 

 cover of the monthly magazine they will see at a glance if there is to be 

 an excursion, and inside on the last page will be found the full parti- 

 culars. In this way the expense of the circulars will be obviated and 

 the price of the tickets will be reduced.
