EXCELSIOR iONa EXCURSION
TWO HUNDRED LEADING cITI-
zENs TOUR TWIN CITIES IN
SPECIAL TROLLEY CARS ss

Excitement over !. the newly estab- |
lished streetcar line at Excelsior came
I'd climax this morning when about
two hundred of Excelsior 3 leading cit |
izens went on an allday, excursion to the
twin cities and surrounding lss r. points Of
"a have onfy one chartered car, but
there was SO great ardemand for tick
cts that an additional special car had
to be arranged for. From two cars the 4
REQUEST Increased so that two more cars
had to be asked for, and even after
that there was q disapp pointed throngt
who had hoped .tog secure fifth car.
Four cars for the one excursion were
considered enough Of q care for one
trip, and the Excelsiorites who could
not take in the trip. have the comforting
thought that in the very near future
similar trip may be arranged.
Main street in Excelsior presented
quite an imposing sight as the four
large Hchartered" cars pulled out and
| fitted at full speed around the corner
and out Of sight. The weather was
perfect and the arrangements were very
successful. DR.. F.. r. Perkins, who was
in charge Of getting up the excursion,
was fairly exhausted after the two
thanks of the pleased excursionists.
| The trains made the regular run to
| Lake Harriet. and from there down to
Lake street, arriving there about $3.50.
/ From Lake street the trip was made to
Minnehaha, Fort Smelling, st. Paul and
thence to Wildwood. While not many
/ stops were made, time was allowed to
view the principal points of interest.
At Wildwood a stop was made for
i rest the trip was continued to Still
4 water, where visit to the state prison
4 was made. The cars pulled out Of
i Saltwater at a O'Clock and made a
i direct run back TO Excelsior. Officials
A of the Twin City, Rapid Transit com
q pany met the special cars at different
4 points and were in attendance at the
! start from Excelsior. -; s $,s.&
