THE excursion to Milwaukee on Sun­ day last, was J&iue>l h?re by about thirty, which would have been swelled to one hundred, Irtd there been a pos­ sibility or even getting a cbanoe to sit on the door. The managers of tlris excursion made two serious mistakes. Oue was in not providing cars enough to comfortably pake the paasenjfers, and anoilier Waa in not living up. to their a*lvertlsed price.
