But to obtain the advantages of such reduction, members must, upon paying full rate at starting point, obtain from the agent selling such ticket a certificate to this effect. These blank certificates have been furnished to agents by their respective roads. Such certificates, when countersigned by Ambrose White, Secretary of the Committee on Transportation Society A. T., and presented to the ticket agent at Cincinnati, will entitle the holder to return ticket over same road at onethird regular rates. In order that proper provision may be made for the entertainment of our guests, it is deemed important that you advise us, at the earliest practicable moment, whether you will, or will not, favor us with your presence. And if you will, whether you will be accompanied by ladies, and if so, how many? Enclosed please find postal card upon which to make reply. A. HICKENLOOPER, Chairman. Mitchell Building. |
