REDUCED RAILROAD RATES
Probable Competition in Which Joint Traffic
Association Will Participate.
Supply of Tickets Yesterday Not
Excursionists Visit Washington.

More excursionists were brought into
Washington yesterday over the Baltimore
and Ohio read. according to advices, than
on any Sunday heretofore, except on an
Inauguration occasion or other great ma
tional gathering. During the morning seven
long trains arrived from Philadelphia
alone. On one of these, which could be
taken as about the average, there were
1.U26 passengers, and the unusual spec
tacle was witnessed of ladies and children
sitting on the steps of the cars, the pre-
ceding excursions having exhausted the
available supply Of coaches at Ph:ladel
phia. There were also. during the day,
r.any hundreds OF excursionsts from Bal
timore, Frederick, Hagerstown and Cum
berland
The outgoing traffic was nearly as great.
and 50 mary persons desired to go to At
lantic City that the supply of tickets was
exhausted some time before the departure
of the last train for that point
The cause for the immense traffic was an
extremely low fare between Washington
and the other points named, which was
but s. for the round trip to Philadelphia
and Atlantic City and 81 To and from Balti
more. Hagerstowr and Frederick.
The Pennsylvania company had the same
rate as the Baltimore and Ohio to Balti-
more. Philadelphia and Atlantic City. but
for some reason the tide of travel seemed
to be more largely with the latter com
pany.
Reaches Acute Stage.
Competition between the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads; for
excursion business has reached an acute
stage. and II is said the relations CT the
two great systems are strained as
suit Cut-rate excursions have followed
ore another in the territory b.tween Wash
inSton and Philadelphia controlled by
md ll-aIN font for h,Isi
Is now in progress
Reduced rates were inaugurated last
month. when the two companies, under an
agreement ran excursions different
Sundays from Washington to Point Breeze
for 81. Cut rates between Washington and
Baltimore followed. and later the Baltimore
and Ohio advertised an excursion from
Baltimore to Philadelphia for 81 Then the
Pennsylvania retaliated with an excursion
from Baltimore to Atlantic City for $50,
which rate was met by the Baltimore and
Ohio with similar reduction.
Low Rate to New York.
1t is understood that for next Saturday
or Sunday very low rates to New York will
be made. and, should this take place. it is
believed a rate war will be started, in
which the Joint Traffic Association will
become involved.
A prominent Baltimore and Ohio official
in speaking to a Star reporter in reference
TO the matter, said that SO long as the cut
rates do not interfere with the regular
are beneficial. BESIDES stirring I'D bust
ness, the official said. they have good
effect in getting people to ride on rail-
roads who. as rule, do not patroniZe them
to any extent.
He added that the rapid transit lines go,
large amount of business. because the
cheap fare put people in the habit of rid
ing even short distances.

EXCURSIONS.

There isn't more interesting place to
visit about the city than Mount Vernon.
1t is filed with relics of olden times, and aS
most of the rooms in the mansion have
been kept just as they We're in Washing
tons time, it makes a Joubly entertaining
cutting for those who have never been
there. BY far the most pleasant way of
reaching Mount Vernon on the Macales-
ter. This elegant fast steamer takes one
for an hours ride, where the finest scenery
about here may be enjoyed and a great
riany points of interest seen that would be
missed altogether in going any other way.
The tomb of Washington is, of course, the
chief thing for the visitors to see. 1t is
situated in one of the prcttiest hooks of the
grounds, and is itself fitting tribute to
the memory of the hero. The Manchester
leaves each weekday morning for Mount
Vernon at 10 O'Clock.
A new schedule has been put in effect by
the Marshall Hall Steamboat Company.
Hereafter, and until further notice, every
week day except Friday but two trips a
day will be made-at 10 am. and 2:3U pm.
On Friday, three trips, at 10 a M, 30 and
$50 pm. This last trip is to Indian Head.
Those who have had such pleasant times
on these runs during the summer Will be
glad to take advantage of this opportunity
to renew them. AS the season is rapidly
drawing TO a close. one cannot put it off
much longer On the Friday night trip to
the Head the Manchester stops at the Hall
both going and returning. Thus, those
who care to may put in part of the even
ing there enjoying the dancing or other
amusements to their hearts content, and
being perfectly comfortable in the mean
time. The Manchester leaves today at 10
am and 2:30 pm.
The Alexand. ia Light Infantry, the crack
military organization from the city down
the river, will give their second excursion
of the season to River View tomorrow, and
fully half the residents of Alexandria are
expected to make the trip. The usual
anusements at the View will oe ready to
give pleasure and there will BE music and
dancing all day. The steamer Samuel j.
PentZ will leave her wharf at 10 m,
and G:45 pm.
The excursion of the Columbia Turn
Verein to River View yesterday was a sue
cessiul affair, and one of the most enjoy
able excursions that has been given by the
Nerein for some years. The steamer Sam
uei j. PentZ made three trips to the View,
and during the day carried down a large
throng of excurSioniSts, numbering about
1900 in all. The bowling contests were
very interesting, and the athletic games be-
tween the senior and junior classes of the
Nerein were closely contested. The chute
ard all the other attractions on the grounds
afforded much amusement to all, and the
concert by the View orchestra under the
leadership of Professor Chris. Arth jr,
was greatly enjoyed.
