BIRDS OF PASSAGE,

Pittsburgers Who VIII Spend the Spring
and Summer In Europe-A Great Fit
ting Season Anticipated-some of Those
Who Have Already Booked.
Early as is the season, the indications are
that the two cities will be very largely repre-
sented in the Old World this season, and the
annual exodus of tourists and pleasnre-seeksrs
has already begun in good shape. The books
of the local steamship agents already bear en-
tries of the names of many prominent people,
although the outward business from this sec
tion does not usually set in before the middle
of May. There is a reluctance to give the
names of prominent gentlemen who make ar
rangements for European trips, the passengers
objecting to such publications because their
business might be injured in consequence.
This seems to be particularly the case with the
legal and medical professions, and hence only the
names of those can be readily obtained who do
not place an injunction OF secresy upon the
agent when booking.
I. E. Hirsch, the proprietor of the Scham-
berg agency. has given THE DISPATCH the
following list of some of our more promi-
nent citizens who have sailed within the
last few days or will shortly sail. Mr.. Hirsch
states that nearly all the first-class steamers
are rapidly filling up, and that many people
who are too slow in securing accommodations
are apt to be sorely disappointed when they
find that there is no room lett on their favorite
steamer.
Pittsburgers Now on the Ocean.

general agent of the NJ. q NJ. Insurance Com

Mr.. Hirsch states the inquiries for steamship
literature sailing lists. rate sheets and descrIp
tive pamphlets, is greater this year than ever
before in his over 20 years experience, and
that there will be plenty of local company for
all who intend making the trip. The unpleas-
antness with Italy may deter a great many
tourists from visiting that country of sunny
skies and picturesque scenery, but the other
countries of Europe will profit by what will be
Italy's loss of patronage.
