The responses came in so well that the Society felt warranted in ordering a special train for the comfortable transportation of members and guests to Washington, and through our fellow-member, Mr. Henry L. Joyce, the Royal Blue Line provided a train of six Pullman parlor-cars, a dining-car and a baggage-car for our exclusive use, and so notified the Society.
Further notice was then sent to the members as follows:
AMERICAN IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Annual Dinner and Reception by the President of the United States, Washington, D. C., January 16, 1909.
Royal Blue Line train with special cars attached leaves New York, 23d Street station, at 7.50 a. m. If 100 members are on hand, a special train will be put in commission and start ten minutes later from the same place. Fares reduced for us on this line.
