Delegates' Special Facilities It is not often in China that eight hundred or a thousand people from all over the country concentrate in one spot for only a few days, to hold a few meetings and then' scatter again to their respective homes. This happens so infrequently that the transportation problem involved in a big conven tion, such as the Tientsin Y, M. C.
affair in the first week of April promises to be, is not easy of solution.
More than the usual liberal reductions in respect of railway tickets have been granted. The government has granted the rate of one fare for the return journey. In addition, delegates traveling in groups to the Convention will be granted reduced rates by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, Jardine, Matheson, the San Peh Steam Navigation Ca. and the China Merchants.
