[2] Since the Boy Travellers made their journey through Mexico the time-table of the Mexican National Railway has been changed. The express train leaves Laredo at 6.35 p.m., and Nuevo Laredo at 8.20. Monterey is reached at 2.40 a.m., and Saltillo, where passengers take breakfast, at 6.20. They dine at Catorce, sup at San Luis Potosi, and reach the City of Mexico at 9.50 on the second morning after their departure from the Rio Grande.
[3] The youths were evidently unaware that there is a Mexican Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Its headquarters are in the City of Mexico; its president is Señor Vidal Castañeda y Nadal, and its secretary Señor Eduardo L. Gallo. The society had done excellent work in preventing cruelty to animals, and in addition to other things has caused bull-fighting to be suppressed in several parts of the republic.
