west, Victoria and Beeyille on the south
and Lafayette, La. on the east,
The territory covered is an immense
one, the rates the lowest ever made over
the lines and the good report OF the good
time the eXcurslonsts enjoyed last weel;
in Houston has reached far and near
so no surprise need be felt II the crowd
is five or six times as great as that which
came in last Friday night from up the
Central
That excursion was practice FOR tho
men who had It in hand, and now they
viii profit by experience and do the thing

make the visitors happier, but probably
they will spread out n little on attrac-
lions and entertainment and be better
satisfied that they have tried harder. That
