REDUCTION OF FARE TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE CAMP-MEETING.
By C. H. Jones
We are able to announce that the Southern Pacific Company and the S. F. and N. P. Railroad have granted the same liberal reduction to those who wish to attend this meeting that was given us last year. But in order to secure this reduction, it will be necessary to carefully observe the following points:— All those coming over the Southern Pacific Company's roads must purchase a first-class ticket to Oakland, paying the regular fare, and at the same time presenting a certificate which must be filled out and signed by the ticket agent. These certificates will be signed at the camp-ground by the secretary of the Conference, and they will then entitle the holder to a return ticket at one-third the regular rates at any time up to October 20. These certificates can be had in any quantity by addressing C. H. Jones, Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal. Where several are coming from the same church or locality, it would be well to have some one individual send for what certificates will be required. Be sure to send for enough for all, as it will do no harm if some are left over, they will cost you nothing. This matter should be attended to at once. It will be remembered that on the first of September, quite a reduction was made on all the lines of the Southern Pacific Company's roads so that in reality tickets will cost much less this year than they did last. Those coming over the S. F. and N. P. Railroad will call for camp-meeting tickets, and will receive round-trip tickets to San Francisco at the following rates:—
Cloverdale to San Francisco and return, $5 00
Healdsburg “ “ “ “ 3 00
Santa Rosa “ “ “ “ 2 75
Petaluma “ “ “ “ 1 50 These tickets will be good from Tuesday, October 4, to Wednesday, October 19. Each person will be allowed to take 100 lbs. of baggage free. Those coming via San Jose and intermediate points, should check baggage to, and get off at, the station at the foot of Market Street, Oakland. Those coming via Benicia should check baggage to, and get off at, Sixteenth Street Station. Those coming over the S. F. and N. P. Railroad will purchase a regular ferry ticket in San Francisco, which entitles the holder to a ride to Sixteenth Street Station. Baggage can also be checked on these tickets to Sixteenth Street. Teams will be in readiness to transfer baggage, and horsecars run direct from the depot to the grounds.
