FIFTY-FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING.

Springfield, Mass., October 23-25, 1900.

* * * * *

TRANSPORTATION.

[Sidenote: Reduced Fares.]

The following Passenger Associations have agreed to grant reduced fares on the certificate plan from points in their territory. The New England, the Central, the Trunk Line, the Western and the Southeastern. This plan provides that if there are one hundred or more persons present who have paid full first-class fares to Springfield from points where the rate is more than seventy-five cents and have obtained from the ticket agent at the time of purchase a certificate in proper form to that effect, they will be entitled from ticket agent in Springfield to a return ticket over same route as they came for one-third the regular first-class fare. Certificates must be delivered on arrival to Transportation Committee, who will give receipts for the same, and which must not be called for later than the evening of the 25th. These certificates will be good for reduced rates to Monday night, October 29th. Parties starting from points outside the lines of any of the above passenger associations, or from stations not provided with through tickets and certificates, should purchase tickets to nearest junction point within the lines of the above associations, and there obtain through ticket and certificate. _Positively no tickets can be sold for return trip at reduced fares unless above instructions are fully complied with._

[Sidenote: General Information.]

The Transportation Committee room will be supplied with full assortment of Railroad Guides, Maps, Time-tables, etc., not only of railroads but of local cars and other modes of conveyance.

Members of the Committee will be on hand from 9 A. M. to the end of the evening sessions on all days to assist visitors and to give information in regard to trolley trips, steamboat rides, carriage drives, etc. Mount Tom, a dozen miles north of Springfield, and the highest peak in the region, is reached by a remarkable trolley line which takes passengers to the summit where a very fine view is obtained of the country for fifty miles in every direction.

The Committee is planning a trip to the mountains for Friday morning, the 26th. Particulars can be obtained on arrival at Springfield. As the number of persons who can be accommodated in the special cars is limited, it will be well to make application for ticket promptly.

There is a fine new steamer on the river carrying four hundred persons, and arrangements have been made to charter this for a beautiful sail of two hours at noon, on the 24th or 25th, at very reasonable rates, if a sufficient number of applications for tickets are received by Tuesday night the 23d.

For the Transportation Committee,
CHARLES D. REID, _Chairman_.
