the party, as such, will break up, though
arrangements have been made by which
those who desire it may continue the trip
TO the White mountains, at reduced rates
of expense.
1t is anticipated making this thorough
ly enjoyable excursion, and through the
free courtesies fthe railroads, and liber-
al reduction by the hotel proprietors, the
entire expense of the five days trip, clos
ing Saturday morning at Newport, will
not, we think, exceed seven dollars to each
person.
The party will be confncd exclusively
to members of the four State Associations
and their ladies' Tickets will be furnish
ed to those only who stand square with
the Treasurer on the 25th of the present
month. No application for tickets will
be received after that date. This limit is
absolute necessary, and will be strictly
adhered to, in order that the railroad
lines, stage lines, and hotel keepers upon
whose generosity SO large tax is laid
may be accurately advised of the accom-.
modations which they will be required to
furnish; and to further facilitate the
comfort of the excursionists and the con
venience of the hotels, requests for tickets
must state the names of ladies as we'll
as enthusiastically written out
in full-for whom they are desired. The
Committee intended, before the day Of
the excursion, to have complete roster Of
the whole party. Should any members
design to make part of the excursion
and not the whole of it, they are desired
to state what part in their application for
passes. With tickets will be sent badges.
bearing some suitable imprint, into which
members are requested to print the names
of the papers to which they are attached.
These badges, worn during the excursion,
will serve pleasant purpose in intro.
ducing members of the various associa-
tions to each other, and in indicating to
hotel keepers the members of the party.
All correspondence with reference to
passes for the trip should be addressed to
