At the request of students and
-iends who have taken the Normal
chool excursion TO Washington, ID.
-, arrangements have been perfected
N an excursion to the Pan n-American
opposition, at Buffalo. A special
rain will leave the Philadelphia &
leading r. r. Station, Bloomsbury,
6;3o on the morning of August 20,
nd arrive in Buffalo in the afternoon
e same day, (time not yet deter
ained). The train will go by way of
Villiamsport and Rochester over the
ne New York Central X. r. This is
ne most direct route to Buffalo from
iloomsburg, and with special train the
Iest time can be made.
Tally-ho coaches and carriages will
re in readiness on the arrival of the
rain TO take the entire party to the
.otel at the Pan-American grounds,
md the drive will be four miles
trough Buffalo, including Delaware
Avenue, the fashionable residence
,treet of the city. Those who prefer
do so can remain on the train IN
tead of taking carriage in Buffalo,
nd will be taken to a point near the
lotel.
The party will be located at Stat
er's Hotel, which is within one hun
lred yards of the Lincoln Parkway
Gate to the Pan-American grounds,
md within three squares of the Elm
GOOD entrance. The Lincoln Park
gay Gate is never crowded, there
,eing no street cars running to 1t.
Street car lines between the grounds
md all parts of the city, pass in front
If the hotel. This hote! is the largest
md best managed in the vicinity of
he Exposition. 1t is a temporary
structure, and is plainly furnished; but
he rooms are comfortable, have good
)eds, mating on floors, all necessary
:onveniences and everything clear,
while the table and all the service is
excellent. l stopped at this hotel two
lays and while there visited many
,thers near the grounds and in the
:ity, and, barring the plainness of the
'ooms, l consider it a good represent
tive of the three-dollar a-day class.
It is patronized by the best people
rom all sections. There are cheaper
,laces of entertainment, but l found
zone of them where considering the
ood served, the character of the
cooking, the accommodations and the
surroundings, | could recommend
hem as safe stopping places. Our
'arty will occupy rooms on first and
,econd floor, two in a room.
There is great advantage in being
sear the grounds. 1t obviates the
recessity of waiting for street cars,
md standing in crowded cars when
ltigued with days sight seeing; and
a the morning when the cars are
rowded with people going to the
Exposition the advantage is equally
reat. Besides it saves car fare. For
hese reasons Statler's Hotel was
:hosen.
Lodging, breakfast, and dinner in

It this hotel. Each excursionist will
oe expected to provide his own lunch,
IN the train going and coming, and
