Gus inquiries are being made of Mr.. flahn
at the depot in regard as to what special
attractions are at Druid Hill to excursion,
lists and what can be seen and done there.
His report is glowing one both as to the
beautiful scenery which surrounds it and
the contents therein, and as the price Isl

hours are given in the City, or Park, or

in the park will repay the time and money
spent, whilst the boating, fishing and lakes
all come in the trip fare. The Mt Pleas
