iegal Excursion to the South and MexieJ
Planned by Wheeling Gentlemen.
From present indications the Worlds
Exposition at New Orleans will be a grand
success, surprising in many respects the
Centennial in 1876 at Philadelphia. Col
{. IL BeaIl and many leading citizens Of
West Virginia are arranging to make hand
some exhibits. The railroads will ofe,
cheap excursions to New Orleans aud re.
burn, affording an unusual opportunity for
our people to visit the Crescent City. Many
iGre already making arrangements to go.
REGISTER reporter learns that some OF our
prominent citizens anticipate chartering a
Ealace dining room and sleeping car for
Themselves and families, and will have their
twn servants and provisions. They will not
bully visit New Orleans but Florida, Mexico
Ind perhaps California, making a trip last
Ing from 60 to 80 days, which need not cost
tyer Sc or 81 per day. There are many ad-
,autages in travelling in this way: First,
bgu are with your friends, each one adding
smetbing 10 the enjoyment of the other.
Your cars can be switched off at any place
pu desire TO stop and you can remain as
l6ag as desired. You are independent OF
rslrcad hotel servants, etc. When there
az quite a number travelling in this man
nd, each one bearing equally the expenses,
lht accommodations are greater and the
raeDses less. The wishes OF the majority.
Iof' the party would be consulted in all
ihhgs
a REGISTER reporter, hearing Of this
plyu, asked one of the gentlemen said TO be
connected with it il he was ready to be OFT
10 leXico,
of for ~M1exico. No not of yet, but talk
'ng tbout it, said he.
"Ehen, where, and how are YOU going.
Tell us all about it.
Certainly We will tell you, aud would
IKE to have a pushing, lively lad as your
self with us to take notes. Several gentle
men who have already been in Old Mexico
would like TO enjoy the trip and take some
Of their friends with them as companions.
TO that end we have been trying to ar.
range with either the Pullman or Mann Bou-
DOR Car Co.'S. to'5furnish a sleeping and
dining car: the first will carry twenty-four
and the latter ten persons, III al thirtv-tour
20 forty, with porters and cook.
THE route would lie about as follows:
Rail to Chicago, thence to St. Louis, Kansas
City, Denver. Manitou Springs, to Leadville
through the Royal George Canyon Pueblo;
thence to the city orSania Fe, Albuquerque
and FL Paso. Through to Chihuahua,
pronounced Chewahwah, in Old Mexico,
durango, Jacatecus, Aquas Calientes,
Guadalagara, Wad,a-la.hah-rah, GuaraXato,
fWana-Wha.toI Queritiro, San Leon, Mex
leo, Puebla and many other places on our
return. TO FL Paso. From there to San
Antonio, TexasjAuotin, Galveston and New
Orleans, remaining there for a week to visit
he Exposition and stopping at all
places of interest on the way to and from
Mexico. We expect TO be absent from
ny 10 sixty days. leaving home early in
december so as TO arrive in Old Mexico
1uriug the MAS holidays. The expense
we do not think will exceed for everything
mere than six 10 eight dollars per day.
The cars are at our disposal the whole time
~e are absent, for sleepiug and eating. We
Tho have been there think there is no more
njo;able trip on the Continent than one
h:.ugh Old Mexico, and especially in a
'uAuliouS Pullman Or Mann Boudin car.
1t will prove the most delightful three to
five hundred dollar trip our good people
have ever had the opportunity Of enjoying"
The REGISTER man promised TO be one Of
The party at once provided he could see his
ancic, and was given to understand the in
yitation was extended to any ladies' and
gentlemen in the State, until the requisite
nun Der is secured.
