Our party proper will consist of five, including the editor and wife, but we can take up to ten or twelve, and the cost of the entire trip, including meals, berths, and all side attractions planned —in fact all necessary expenses of the eight day's trip—will be $75 each. The total mileage included 'in the itinerary is' between 3,000 and 3,500 miles, and it will make one of the most beautiful and comfortable trips imaginable, one that comparatively" few people are ever privileged to enjoy. The entire expense of the three fortunate young lady contestants, of course, will be paid by The Democrat, but to others desiring to join t’he party the cost will be $75 per person.
