you will find out whether certificates and through tickets can be obtained 

 to the place of meeting. If not obtainable at your home station, the agent 

 will inform you at what station they can be obtained. You can in such case 

 purchase a local ticket thence, and there purchase through ticket and secure 

 certificate to place of meeting. Be sure that, when purchasing your going 

 ticket, you request a certificate. Do not make the mistake of asking for a 

 receipt. 



4. On your arrival at the meeting present your certificate to Mr. F. S. 

 Hazard, Assistant Secretary, American Association for the Advancement 

 of Science. It has been arranged that the special agent of the New England 

 Passenger Association will be in attendance at the office of the Permanent 

 Secretary to validate certificates daily (9 a. m. to 6 p. m.) from Tuesday, 

 December 28, 1909, to Saturday, January 1, 1910, both dates inclusive. A fee 

 of 25 cents icill be charged at the meeting for each certificate validated. If 

 you arrive at the meeting and leave for home prior to the special agent's 

 arrival, or if you arrive at the meeting later than January 1, after the special 

 agent has left, you cannot have you certificate validated, and consequently you 

 will not get the benefit of the reduction on the home journey. No refund 

 of fare will he made on account of failure to have certificate validated. 



If the necessary minimum is in attendance, and your certificate is duly 

 validated, you will be entitled, up to and including January 5, 1910, to a 

 continuous passage ticket to your destination via the route over which you 

 made the going journey, at three-fifths of the limited fare.
