t. At the meeting of the special commit.
tee appointed: by the General Ticket
Agents Association of the United States
to arrange schedule for Centennial pas
senger rates, held in Philadelphia re-
Gently. Western railroads were we'll rep
resented. 80 The Erie road was represented
by General Passenger Agent J. NJ. Alb.
bott, who said that the members of 3the
committee all agreed that the number at.
tending the Centennial would depend
largely on the liberality of the railroads
in giving reduced rates and extra travel
ing conveniencesand accommodations. 1t.
was decided to recommend reduction of
Is per cent ON the present rates from all
points of the country east of Omaha to,
Philadelphia or New York. The Union
and Central Pacific railroads were not
represented in the. committee, but:
will probably take part in
the. =: action of the Association at
Louisville, KY, on February g.. It ! is
hoped that the two roads will find it to
their interest to make a similar reduc.
ton for the round trip, but, as such an
arrangement would effect almost the en-
tire passenger traffic, and as they have
no fears of competition, a: reduction on
their part would be an act of. unusual
iberaiity. =. 80 -
' Asreduced rates would be beneficial to
the whole country, it has been decided to
recommend; similar reduction on round
trips from New York and Philadelphia to
all points in the West. These tickets
will be in the form Of circular tours,
including the great natural features Of
the country, the principal cities Of. the
interior, the Mississippi Valley, and the
.South.~If the Union Pacific comes into the
arrangement, those: tours will probably
be extended to ak: parts Of the, Pacific
coast Tickets will be sold from Nav J.
to- October 81, will be good for thirty
days only from points cas-? of Omaha, and
probably the time4will be shortened from
points within: a. day 8 ride of New York
and Philadelphia. ;. It will also be recon-
mended by the committee that round
tickets from the west be made good east
ward over. one route and westward. oyer
another. These, visitors can come, east
via Chicago, Detroit. Niagara Falls and
New York, and return Ey way of Balti-
more and Washington. Passengers will
be allowed to stop over at all places on
the route>at their pleasure except within
a certain distance. of. New York and Phil
adelPhia, which properly includes local
travel.
/. In view Of the fact that New York will
be the headquarters Of many who desire
to escape, the crowded hotels of Phila-
delphia, the difference in fare between
Philadelphia and New York on round
"trip tickets eastward or westward has
been fixed at ST. only. The fare from
Chicago to Philadelphia and return will
be $S332, while from Chicago to New Y ork
and return, by way Of Philadelphia, will
be 1888. ,|..''~ '''','1.:i': ;>'~ II. '~.
| Travel between the East and San Fran:
cisco will probably be large. The adven-
turers of l849 will no doubt seize this
opportunity to renew acquaintance with
Eastern fellow-pioneers at the reduced
cost, and Australians and Mexicans will
come from San Francisco. The Erie road
has fifty passenger coaches building, and
will add many sleeping cars and drawing
room coaches. Extra trains will be run
