CORRECTION
In the July 19 issue of the Trojan the price of the Catalina Island excursion was given as $2.60, including transportation and a trip on the glass-bottomed boat.

The price of the Mt. Lowe excursion tomorrow is $1.90, for transportation only, not 1.60. as was erroneously staled In the last issue.
