The Last Series of Cheap-Rate Excursions
to the Worlds Fair via the Pennsylvania

ADDITIONAL DATES FOR THE POPULAR Elk
POSITION TRIPS
AS the period of the existence of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition draws to a
close the demand grows stronger for the
economical and satisfactory means of
reaching Chicago provided heretofore by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Recognizing the urgency of this popular
need, that company has fixed few addi-
tional dates, on which excursions of the
same character as the previous ones will
be run. September 10Th. 23d, 28th, Octo-
Der I'd, 18th, 18th, and 21st are the days
selected from New York, Philadelphia,
and points east of Pittsburg and Erie and
north of York.
The special trains will be composed of
the standard coaches for which the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is noted, and
the arrival in Chicago at an early hour
the following afternoon obviously gives
ample opportunity for the securing of &C
commodations at that place.
The trains will leave New York 900 A.

ton have been made by people who have

seen.
