THE EXCURSION.

AT a mass.Eeeting lately held by thu
people of Opelousas and vicinity
to devise ways and means for grand
excursion, for the purppse Of raising
funds in aid Of the "Opelousas Public
School Building Fund.-, the following
named were selected as Committee
on Arrangements and Transportation
and the whole subject matter Of the
proposed excursion WAS left to their
management. A proposition from the
Railroad CO., to run q train OF eight
passenger coaches from Washington to
Thibodaux and return, for the sum of
S69l 80. WAS laid before said committee,
and by them accepted; but when the
contract came for final completion, and
the deposit OF $50 was to DO made, it
was found that they proposed to furnish
only six cars, charging $3.50 20 for same,
deducting $500 from amount first
charged for eight cars, (whereas not
lees than eight could accommodate nay
adding, that should more coaches be
wanted on the day of the excursion
they would furnish them, IL Oh hand, at
$l1a.7o each. In view of the evident
injus:ice of the proposition, the COM
mittee declined any final action in the
premises. until advised by the finance
committee and other interested parties.
The seating capacity of the six coach
es proposed is s36, and allowing an
average of o. 90 to each seat, would
give Us total of $G72 which 10 $40 go
less than coat of train. This balance,
with expenses and profits, would have
to be made up, ont of standing room,"
which the Committee doomed would
not meet With your approval or popular
favor, and in consequence the project
was abandoned.
The Committees in conference regard
the action of the Railroad Company. in
this instance as an attempted imposition
upcn the people OF Opelousas and vioi-
nifty, which they cannot in honor conn.,
tenance or sustain.
