1t was decided to change the time of the
annual meeting from june II, in Chicago,
to July 9, at Plank's Hotel, Mackinac
Island, Mich. Several companies have in
vited the association to use their lines,
among them the NJ, l.. s. & W., who want
ed the association to go to Ashland, Wis.
The u. 7. invited the members to go to Salt
Lake, but, on putting the matter to a vote,
the above was decided upon. After passing
vote of thanks to the various lines for
courtesies offered, and to the managers of
the New DenlsOn, the convention adjourned
Going to the Inauguration.
The travelling passenger agents who were in
the city yesterday, without exception, report
that the prospects are that the roads will carry
more people this year to witness the inaugural
ceremonies than in any year when like event
occurred. Captain May, of the Pennsylvania
lines, states that his company is making arrange
ments to handle double the number of people at
Washington than it has heretofore. Thomas Nc
Gill, of the Georgia Central road, says that the
Southern people are to visit the capital in larger
numbers than usual he basing this state
ment on the numerous inquiries for trans
portation and accommodations. s. ]. Gates of the
Louisville & st. Louis Airline thinks his road
will carry thousands of people from southern In
diana and Illinois. From Louisville large dele
cations are going over the Chesapeake & Ohio
road, as they expect the northern routes will be
Overcrowded with passenger business. John r.
Wood, of Detroit states that several parties have
already made arrangements for transportation,
and others are yet to do so. M. c. Baker, of
Cleveland, o., says many parties are to go from
there, and special train is to be made up for
their accommodation. Sam Thompson, who is
located in Pittsburg, never saw so much interest
taken in inaugural ceremonies. Delegation after
delegation has already made arrangements with
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio roads
for transportation. j. G. Everest, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, brings the informa ton
that all over the Northwest delegations are per-
fecting arrangements. From Kansas City and st.
Louis come like reports, and the passenger men
express the opinion that the passenger equip
ments of this country are to be more completely
i'm service than ever before in the history of Amer
lean roads. Everything which the Pullman, the
Wagner and the Woodruff sleeping-ca companies
can furnish will be brought into use, and many
coaches VIII be taken off lines where travel is
light to meet the demand Of the travel to Wash
ingtOn.
