ment, and the question is being asked,
who is General Bumm?"
According to Floyd Mcfarland, the
cyclist. who Is the father of the society.
General Bumm was a soldier of fortune
and one of Napoleon's field marshals.
The general was a champion of good
fellowship and therein lies his greatest
claim to fame.
The society was founded in Paris ten
years ago by Mcfarland, Jimmy Mi
Elkes. champion paced rider. and big
Elks, champion paced rider, and big
Jim Kennedy, who promoted all the big
fights in Madison Square Garden in the
old Horton law days. All of the orig
inal founders are dead, with the excep-
ton of Mcfarland, who is still consid-
erably of a live one. Elkes and Michael

LONGER LIMITS
FOR EXCURSION TICKETS

Effective May /, the limit of excursion tickets sold
from Newark to all stations in the State of New jersey on
the New Jersey Division, where the limits are two Gays
and six DAYS, will be extended to ten days. This Will also
apply to excursion tickets to Philadelphia. 10 Ranwsy
and Perth Amboy tickets will be unlimited.
In connection with this adjustment of limits a number
of reductions. in fare have been made from Newark,
notably to Trenton, the excureion fare from Newark to
Trenton under change in Tariffs of May !, being made
$2.3 instead Of $240 as at present. :
The extension and adjustment of return limits on
excursion tickets is made with a view of establishing a
uniformity of limits and also for the greater accommods
ton of patrons of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who have
heretofore, in many cases, found the return limit OF
excursion tickets insufficient to meet their desires.
1t is gratifying to the management OF the Pennsyi-
vania Railroad to be able to make this concession in the
interests Of It's patrons, and the action is in accord with
its w~ell-known policy of giving its patrons the best service
and the most accommodating arran gements that a just
regard for its revenues will permit.

in session word wal received from all

tiers at their own expense, as n mark
