Transportation has been arranged (in- 

 cluding sleeping-car berth and meals) 

 from New York to Chicago and St Louis 

 at greatly reduced rates. The cost of 

 this transportation to members, from 

 New York to Niagara Falls, Chicago, 

 and St Louis, the special Pullman train, 

 will be $45. This will include, beside 

 railway fare, sleeping-car service and 

 meals while traveling, and breakfast and 

 transfer to World's Fair at St Louis, 

 and also return railway fare from St 

 Louis to New York, including stop-over 

 privileges in Washington, but not sleep- 

 ing car and meals from St Louis to New 



York. Tickets are good for return pas- 

 sage on any regular train on Baltimore 

 and Ohio Railroad out of St Louis. 



Definite arrangements have been made 

 for an international excursion, leaving 

 St Louis on the evening of September 

 24 by a special train which will proceed 

 over the Santa Fe lines to the terminal 

 station and hotel on the brink of the 

 Grand Canon of the Colorado, via Wil- 

 liams, Arizona, and will then run via 

 El Paso and the Mexican International 

 Railway to the City of Mexico. Thence 

 the train will return over the Mexican 

 National Railway via Laredo to St Louis. 

 The cost of this international excursion, 

 including sleeping-car privileges and 

 meals, will be approximately Si 50; time 

 required will be 12 to 14 days. 



Members desiring hotel or transportation 

 accommodations, also those wishing to par- 

 ticipate in the excursion, should notify the 

 Committee of Arrangements as soon as pos- 

 sible in order that proper facilities may be 

 accorded them.

 laration to that effect before the customs 

 officers at the port of entry.
