with Headquarters car which leaves
Bellows Falls at 1905 noon. Day coaches
will be run on all trains to which our sleeper
is attached, so that those who do not take
sleeper can go through on same train. but
this involves their changing cars at the
end OF each road. A.|c
Tickets are good going from September

Wagner sleeping car has been engaged
for the use OF this Department (fOr the out

for return trip can be made at Louisville).
Berths can be secured in the same at So for
each person by applying to b. Cannon, Jr.,
Bellows Falls. Cash must accompany each
order when ticket giving number and
location of berth will be forwarded to the
applicant. In disposng of the berths in
sleeper the Commander must pursue the
lnyarlable rule, cash in advance, first come,
first served. Sleeping Accommodations have
been secured for only about so (more ca,.
be had on same terms by giving notice, as
the above Iigures undoubtedly do not rep
resent nearly all who contemplate going).
liz is hoped that Comrades and others who
desire sleeping Accommodations, will see the
necessity of securing berths at their earli
est possible convenience so that additional
cars may be secured, if needed, before it is
too late.
Applications for Accommodations at Pho
nix Hotel and berths in sleeper mnst be

not hold himself responsible for the com
