Agent Beam expects the excursion to be patronized by a number of people who have never seen this great resort and is trying to make arrangements to have the special start from here, but whether this is accomplished of not, will make but little difference, as the south-bound train going and the north-bound returning will make the connections. The round trip fare between here and Monon is 60 cents. Besides the springs themselves and the beautiful hotel and surroundings the 23rd U. S. Infantry will be at French Lick and will give a grand drill during the Afternoon.
