Arrangements are being made by which

will 60 to the worlds fair at excursion
rates, leaving this city on the 10th of
next month.
J. Marion Brooks, the chairman of
the committee, was seen by a HERALD
reporter last night at his Office, and in
reply to a question said that the COM
mittee would attend the worlds fair,
taking in New York and Washington
City. The time allowed for Chicago
would be four days. This would give
ample time to take in the worlds fair
and then proceed to New York, remain
ing there five days, visiting all points of
interest in and around that city, and pro-
ceed from there to Washington City, al d
after calling upon the president and wit
Messing the congressional proceedings,
would then visit Mount Vernon. The
time allotted for Washington and vicini-
ty will be about three days.
Special arrangements with the rail-
road company will enable them to visit
other points of interest on the route.
The fare will be exceedingly low, and
it is hoped every member of the COM
mittee not prevented by sickness or ur-
gent business arrangements will attend,
but should any member be unable to at
tend he can give his proxy to some of
his friends who will go.
There are AZ members of the COM
mittee and only this number can be al
lowed to take advantage of the excur-
sion rates.

can 60 will give their names 10 Chair
man Brooks, who will be at his office,
