given. the vice. Chairman of the Central Traf-
fic Association has made the following conces-
ions:
Bryan, located on the Lake Shore s. Michi
gan Railroad, eight miles west of Stryker, will
be recognized as the point to which tickets
must be bought and from which reduced
rates will be given. To secure the reduction,
which will be equivalent to one third regular
fare, there must be one hundred persons pres
ent, holding certificates from agents at starting
or connecting points. This is imperative.
Those who will go to the Convention by the
Lake Shore Michigan, will purchase tickets
at regular fare to Bryan, taking certificates,
but will leave the cars at Stryker. Those who
go via the Cincinnati, Jackson & Michigan
road. will pay full fare to Bryan, taking certir-
Gates. From Bryan to Stryker they will pur-
chase local round trip tickets.
Persons from the west and south part of the
State will take the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton road to Carlisle; there change to the
Cincinnati, Jackson & Michigan, for Bryan.
If through tickets can be obtained, buy them,
not forgetting to obtain certificates. If
through tickets cannot be had, buy to the
connecting point, not forgetting the certif-
Gates.
Those going from central and southern
parts, can take the Cincinnati. Washington &
Baltimore. and Cincinnati & Columbus Mid
land to Columbus, thence via the Columbus,
Hooking Valley & Toledo road TO Toledo,
then by Lake Shore & Michigan to Stryker,
buying tickets, when possible, to Bryan; If
not. TO connecting points, and then to Bryan.
Those living north of Columbus will buy
tickets to nearest point on Lake Shore &
Michigan. thence to Bryan.
Tickets must not be bought more than three
days prior to June 5. and will be good for
three days after June 10, provided one hundred
are present holding certificates.
We will furnish circulars of information,
and list of railroads, to all who will write for
them, enclosing two cent stamp, to pay re-
turn postage. These conditions are good only
in Ohio.
If proper devotion TO obligation is observed,
and care is manifested in procuring certih-
Gates, is observed, a large sum of money will
be saved to those attending the convention.
