The Maine Central station was an
exceptionally busy place Sunday, as
the people who were going on the ex-
cursion to St. Anne de Braupre were
buying their tickets and having. their
baggage inspected and checked. The
inspection was being made by a Ca
madam customs inspector and after the
baggage is placed aboard the train
mere it will not have to be disturbed
again. This is great convenience
TO the people and saves much time
and bother. It was expected Sunday
night that about $50 people from Wat
ersiile would make the trip. the larg-
est number for several years.

Mt Merci Academy. The through trav-
ell was also above the average and ey-
cry train was loaded all day. At one
time Saturday morning over 80 trunks
were On the station waiting to be
checked Although many Of the trunks
were going out of the State and had
to be valued under the new law. this
coca sioneo little trouble as the most
