RAYMOND & WHITCOMB,

296 Washington Street (opposite School Street), Boston, Mass. Sixty-Five Summer and Autumn Tours.

IN presenting our schedule of tours for the summer and autumn months of 1892, we desire to call the attention of our patrons to the variety and completeness of the

list. Many famous pleasure resorts, a diversity of picturesque routes, and numerous

places of historic importance are included in our present list, such as the White and Adirondack Mountains; the Hudson, St. Lawrence, and Saguenay Rivers; Lakes George, Champlain, Memphremagog, Placid, Moosehead and St. John; Saratoga, Niagara Falls, Trenton Falls, the Lehigh Valley, Wyoming Valley, the Keene Valley in the Adirondack Mountains, Watkins Glen, the Thousand Islands, the Isles of Shoals, and Mount D.esert. Two parties will make a complete tour through the most picturesque and historically interesting sections of the Maritime Provinces, visiting the capitals, leading cities, and most famous resorts of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, and Prince Edward Island. It should be borne in mind, in comparing the prices of our tickets with railway rates, that in our tours every necessary expense of the trip, including hotel accommodations, carriage rides, transfers, etc. — generally the greater part in a round of visits 9 to fashionable resorts — is covered, as well as transportation. Thus the entire cost of the trip is known at the outset and provided for. There is a numerous array of low- priced tours. These, it should be added, are carried out with all the care and elabor- ateness of detail that have made our excursions in previous years so markedly popular. They have been arranged with a view to meeting the wishes of a large number of our patrons who find it inconvenient to absent themselves from home or business ties for the time required in the longer excursions, or who desire to make a short tour, occupying only a part of their vacation season. From year to year our excursion routes have been extended and perfected, and improvements have been made in many minor details. Our system of conducting excursions is now thoroughly understood and appreciated by the best class of the traveling public. It is everywhere recognized that, while our tours are cheap beyond all possibilities in the cost of individual travel, they are in no sense cheapened in the arrangements, which are always made to insure thoroughly first-class accommodations. We strive to please the most intelligent and exacting class of travelers, and our success in this particular is a source of satisfaction and pride.

A feature of our excursion system which must especially commend itself is this : While the traveler secures many little comforts and attentions that could not other- wise be had, he does not subject himself to any special or ostentatious display, which would naturally be obnoxious to persons of quiet tastes. Members of our parties move from place to place as private travelers, and are received at hotels as private guests, with the added advantage of having their special wants studied and provided for in advance. In the cars they form a select company, and are relieved of the annoyance of being placed in proximity to strangers, and, as it often happens in the common way of traveling, undesirable people. Travelers of experience are perhaps 10 the warmest in praise of our excursions, for the reason that many special comforts are provided, while the objectionable features just alluded to are avoided. Of the ordinary cares and petty annoyances of travel, the members of our tourist parties know nothing. As this circular is printed in advance of the announcement of the summer and autumn time-tables by the various railway lines, slight changes may be rendered necessary in the hours of arrival and departure at some points. Members of the parties will have timely notice of all such variations. We would call the attention of our passengers to the fact that all checked baggage

is under the supervision of the conductor or his assistants, who will attend to its delivery at the rooms of its owners in the hotels visited, and its removal therefrom by the hotel porters, as well as its transfer and transportation. All hand luggage, however, must be looked after personally by the passengers.

In addition to the long list of excursions to eastern resorts, it will be seen that there are to be tours of special attractiveness to the Pacific Coast over the Canadian Pacific Railway, thence to Alaska, and homeward over tbe Northern Pacific Railroad, with a

week in the Yellowstone National Park ; to the Yellowstone Park direct ; through Colorado and Utah; and to the Pacific Coast over the Northern Pacific Railroad via the Yellowstone National Park.

Suggestions in Regard to Joining a Party.

Persons desiring to join any one of our parties should send their names to be registered at as early a date as convenient. A name is registered as soon as there is an intention of going, and this registration secures a place in the cars, at hotels where sojourns may be made, and in every way insures membership in the party. No payment of money is required in this connection, and no responsibility is incurred. If ii circumstances prevent the person from going, notice of the fact should be sent to us, and the name will be taken from the list, and the next applicant permitted to fill the vacancy. Tickets can be taken and paid for at the convenience of the passenger any time to within three or four days of the date of departure ; and, should the passenger then be prevented from going, the money will be refunded. The advantage of sending in names early is readily seen. In all cases the parties are limited in numbers, and it frequently occurs that parties are filled long before the dates of departure. Persons are not compelled to come to Boston for the purpose of joining an excursion, but may connect with the train at any convenient point along the route. The limitation of the time in which persons may join a party is generally to within three or four days before starting, as the rooming lists are sent to hotels in advance, and other matters pertaining to the transportation and general comfort of the traveler must be prearranged. We make this explanation for the information of many who may not be acquainted with our method of forming parties, and who may be disposed to delay joining until the last moment. In sending names for registration, please be particular to designate plainly the number, as well as the date, of the excursion chosen, and also to give full name (middle initials if any), stating whether " Miss " or " Mrs." in the case of ladies, and correct post-office address. Souvenir lists of the excursionists in each party will be printed.

Summer and Autumn Tours, Nos. 1, 22, 39, and 58.

Leaving Boston Tuesdays, July 5 and 19, August 30, and September 13 and Returning Saturdays, July 9 and 23, and September 3 and 17.

A FIVE DAYS' TOUR THROUGH THE WHITE AND FRANCONIA MOUNTAINS, Including a Grand Round of the White Mountain Resorts and Points of Interest, with Visits to the Profile House, the Fabyan House, the Crawford House, North Conway, etc., a Night on the Summit of Mount Washington, a Trip through the White Mountain Notch, Carriage Ride up Mount Willard, a Visit to the Flume, Pool, etc.

Price of Tickets (all Traveling: Expenses Included), • . $32.50. Price of Tickets for Children hetween the ages of 5 and 12 years, $23.50.

The first in our series of summer and autumn tours is devoted to the White

Mountains, the round of travel occupying five days, from Tuesday, July 5, to Satur- day, July 9. The extension of railways over routes that were formerly traversed by the slow stage coach has made even the remote mountain sections accessible, the time occupied in going from point to point being numbered by hours instead of days.

The tours numbered 22, 39, and 58 are repetitions of No. 1, the four dates of departure being July 5 and 19, August 30, and September 13. Leaving Boston 13 Tuesday morning at 9.00 o'clock from the Southern Division station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, on Causeway street, the party will journey northward through Woburn, Lowell, the Merrimac Valky, Nashua, Manchester, and Concord, along the picturesque shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, and thence up the Pemigewasset Valley to Plymouth. Dinner will be provided at the Pemigewasset House; and the journey will then be continued over the Pemigewasset Valley Branch to North Woodstock, from whence there will be a stage transfer to the Flume House and Profile House. A halt will be made at the Flume House, in order to visit those great natural wonders, the Flume and Pool. The former has been carved from the solid rock by a little stream that descends from between Flume Mountain and Mount Liberty, and the latter is on another small stream tributary to the Pemigewasset.

Persons who desire to remain over night at the Flume House can do so, continuing ' their journey to the Profile House the next forenoon. The ride up through the Notch is delightful. The traveler passes on the way the beautiful Profile Lake, which mirrors the rugged steeps of Profile Mountain and the " Great Stone Face." This marvelous object looks down from its lofty place 1,800 feet above the placid surface. The best view of the famous profile is obtained from the stage road. In a delightful nook just above the lake is the celebrated Profile House, while at a short distance beyond is Echo Lake.

The hotel is situated upon a little plateau nearly 2,000 feet above the sea, while all around rise the bold fronts of mountains from 1,500 to 2,000 feet higher. The several parties will remain at the Profile House until Wednesday afternoon and then proceed over the Profile & Franconia Railroad, a narrow-gauge line, to Bethlehem Junction, and from thence over the Concord & Montreal line and the Mount Washington Railway to the summit of Mount Washington, where Wednesday night will be passed. This is a novel trip, as the visitor is carried upward by rail, often- 14 times through the clouds, to the very doors of the loftily perched hotel. The mountain is 6,291 feet above the level of the sea, and the highest peak east of the Rocky Mountains and north of the topmost summits of North Carolina. The views are indescribably fine, and the spectacles of a sunset and a sunrise are especially grand. At the summit will be found a large hotel, the Mount Washington Summit

House ; a station occupied by the United States Signal Service observers ; an observatory erected by the United States Coast Survey; a printing office, from which is issued a bright and entertaining daily paper, appropriately denominated Among the

Clouds ; railway buildings, stables, stage office, etc. The mountain top will be reached before sunset. Leaving the summit at 7.00 A. M., the parties will descend the mountain by the railway, and proceed to the Mount Pleasant House, the Fabyan House, and the Craw- ford House. These establishments belong to the chain of five great mountain hotels of which Messrs. Barron & Merrill are the proprietors. The Crawford House is under the management of its resident proprietor, Mr. C. H. Merrill. The passengers can exercise their own preferences regarding their selection of hotels. Among the various points of interest hereabouts are Mount Willard, Beecher's Falls, Gibbs's Falls, Flume Cascade, Silver Cascade, *' Idlewild " (a charming retreat on the farther side of Saco Lake), Merrill's Spring, and Hitchcock's Flume on the side of Mount Willard. There will be a carriage ride to the summit of Mount Willard Thursday afternoon. This mountain stands at the head of the Notch, and its southern face is a sheer precipice of 1,000 feet or more. The view from the top down through the Notch is exceedingly grand. Friday morning there will be a journey down through the Notch, over the Maine

Central Railroad, in observation cars. The scenery along this part of the line is very *S picturesque, the road running along the steep cliffs in front of Mounts Willard and Willey. Three miles below the Crawford House, the Willey House is seen in the valley below the railroad. It was near this house that the Willey family lost their lives in the great landslide of Aug. 28, 1826, while their dwelling was preserved from injury. Friday afternoon will be passed at North Conway, the party making its headquarters at the pleasant Kearsarge House, which is delightfully situated near the village and within convenient distance of all the neighboring attractions. There will be a carriage ride from the Kearsarge to Conway, and thence up the west side of the river back to North Conway, visiting Echo Lake, Cathedral Ledge, Diana's Baths, and other points of interest. Leaving North Conway Saturday morning, via the Boston & Maine Railroad, Northern Division, the party will proceed to Boston, arriving at 1.05 p. M.

Tours Nos. 2, 23, and 60 are also devoted to the White Mountains, but with a more extended itinerary. Eight days will be spent in a round of the mountain resorts, the list including the Glen House and its picturesque surroundings. The several parties will leave the Southern Division station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, Causeway street, Wednesday at 9.00 A. M. (July 6, July 20, and September 14), and proceed northward via Lowell, Nashua, Manchester, Concord, Plymouth, and North Woodstock, the journey from the latter point up through the picturesque Pemigewasset Valley being made by stage. The members of the party can exercise their own prefer- ence regarding their place of sojourn, stopping either at the Flume House, which is near the famous Flume and Pool, or at the Profile House, five miles beyond and near

_ __. 19 Profile Lake, the " Great Stone Face,'' and Echo Lake. There will be ample time to see all these objects. Friday afternoon the visitors will leave the Profile House by the Profile & Fran- conia Notch Railroad, and proceed to Bethlehem Junction, there changing to the Concord & Montreal Railroad for the farther journey to Fabyan's and thence to the base of Mount Washington. The ascent to the summit will be fnade by the famous mountain railway and the parties will remain over night at the Mount Washington Summit House. Descending from the mountain by railway Saturday morning, the parties will retrace their way to Fabyan's and from thence proceed to the Crawford House, which stands at the head of the romantic White Mountain Notch. Here Saturday and Sunday will be passed, and there will be a carriage excursion Saturday to the summit of Mount Willard. Leaving the Crawford House by the Maine Central Railroad Monday, we shall proceed southward through the Notch, passing the Willey House, and many other interesting points, and within view of some of the grandest scenery in the whole mountain region. At Glen Station we take stages for a ride up through the picturesque Pinkham Notch to the Glen House. This ride, and the one to be taken on Wednes- day from the Glen House to Gorham, will be among the most enjoyable features of the trip. The Glen House, where we shall pass the succeeding day, is 1,632 feet above the sea and 820 feet higher than Gorham, It is built on a terrace above the Peabody River on the lower slopes of the Carter Range, and looks out directly on the five highest mountains in New England, which are but three or four miles distant, and are not masked by any intervening objects. These are, 20 in the order they appear from right to left, Madison (5,365 feet), Adams (5,794 feet), Jefferson (5,714 feet), Clay (5,553 feet), and Washington (6,291 feet). It is a large and splendidly equipped hotel of the modern kind, complete in all its appoint- ments, and conducted in a manner which has given it a world-wide fame. Its manager

is Mr. Edgar J. Rich. There are in the vicinity many objects of interest, including Thompson's Falls, Emerald Pool, Glen Ellis Falls, and the Crystal Cascade. Leaving the Glen House Wednesday morning by stage, the parties will proceed over a pleasant road to Gorham, and thence by the Grand Trunk Railway to Portland. From that city we shall continue to Boston over the Western Division of the Boston & Maine Railroad, arriving at the station in Haymarket square at 4.15 p. M. ITINERARY.

23 Summer and Autumn Tours, Nos. 3 and JfO.

Leaving Boston Mondays, July n and September 5; and Returning Wednesdays, July 20 and September 14.

A Picturesque Tour of Ten Days, via L.ong Island Sound to New York, up the Hudson River to Albany and SARATOGA, Thence to Lake George, Lake Champlain, Ausable Chasm, and the White Moun- tains of New Hampshire, with Visits to the Profile House, Flume, Pool, Summit of Mount Washington, Crawford House, Mount Willard, and White Mountain Notch.

Price of Tickets (all Traveling Expenses Included), • • $65.00. Price of Tickets for Children between the ages of 5 and 18 years, $47.00.

The third and fortieth tours in our list are made up of a combination of routes comprising the essential features -of some of our shorter excursions. The early part of the trip will take the traveler across Long Island Sound and up that picturesque water-way, the Hudson River. After a visit to Saratoga there will be farther steamboat journeys on Lakes George and Champlain, and a magnificent round through the most famous sections of the White Mountains. There will be expeditions to the summits of two of the mountain peaks — Washington and Willard — and sojourns at the 24 chief places of resort. The parties will leave Boston by the favorite Fall River line

Monday, July n,and Monday, September 5, proceeding first to Fall River by rail, and thence to New York on one of the palatial steamers plying on this route. Supper will be served before the arrival of the other passengers, and the evening can be devoted to the fine sail down Mount Hope and Narraganset Bays, or to the orchestral concert which takes place nightly in the spacious and elegant saloon. The morning approach to New York through East River affords a magnificent panorama of country and town, landscape and sea; and the early riser is amply rewarded for his enterprise in a series of matchless views. Turning from the extremity of Long Island Sound into East River, and down through Hell Gate, Randall's, Ward's, and Blackwell's Islands, each containing some of the great hospital, charitable, or refor- matory institutions of New York, are passed. Then the steamer sails under the new East River bridge, and passing the wharves of the lower river with their forests of masts, rounds the Battery and ascends the still busier North River. The traveler will be interested to know that the great bridge has a total length of 5,989 feet, its river span being 1,595 feet, and its height in the centre 135 feet above summer high-water level. The towers rise 276 feet and 9 inches above high-water mark, and the suspended structure weighs 17,780 tons. The cost of the gigantic structure was about sixteen millions of dollars. While rounding the Battery a view is had of Bartholdi's colossal statue of " Liberty Enlightening the World," which stands on Liberty or Bedloe's Island. Breakfast will be served on the Fall River boat, and there will be a transfer by annex steamer to the Vestry street pier, from whence one of the elegant steamers of the Hudson River Day line will leave at 8.40 A. M. This line, like the Fall River, is famed for the excellence of its steamers. The vessels were designed especially for

2'5 passenger travel, and are furnished elaborately, affording every possible comfort and luxury for a delightful transit over one of the most picturesque water-ways in the world, and one whose every outlook recalls events of historic interest. Leaving the metropolis with its long, dense line of piers and warehouses, and the less populous shores above Jersey City, we come to the Palisades, a basaltic, trap- dike ridge on the west shore, from 250 to 600 feet high, extending from Hoboken to Piermont, with a continuation, more broken, above that point to Haverstraw. Yonkers is a handsome city on the east shore, eighteen miles above New York, and both above it and below it are many beautiful villas. The Academy of Mount St. Vincent is just below Yonkers. One of its buildings, the one having an appearance of an old-world castle, was once the home of Edwin Forrest, the tragedian. Hastings, Dobbs' Ferry, Ab- botsford and Irvington are passed; and a little distance above the latter, and opposite the railway pier at Piermont, is Sunnyside, once the home of Washington Irving. We are now in the broad part of the Hudson, known as the Tappan Zee, the east shore of which was inhabited by the- Manhattans, and the west shore by the Tappans at the time of Hendrick Hudson's visit in 1609. Nyack is on the west bank, and Tarrytown and Sing Sing, with its prison buildings, upon the east bank. Between Tarrytown and

Sing Sing is " Sleepy Hollow," one of the many places along the Hudson immortalized by Irving, and near by it is the spot where Major Andre was captured. Above the Tappan Zee is Haverstraw Bay, five miles in width, and Haverstraw Reach. Haver- straw, Stony Point, and Peekskill, the latter just above Haverstraw Bay, suggest Rev- olutionary events, and, indeed, nearly every town upon the Hudson contributed something to the history of those perilous times. We are soon in the midst of the grand mountain group known as the Highlands, through which the Hudson makes its way in abrupt curves. On the left is the rugged front of Dunderberg Mountain, and 26 on the right Anthony's Nose. Bold precipices rise from the water's edge to a height of from 500 to 1,500 feet. Sugar Loaf Mountain is two miles above Anthony's Nose, and near by was Fort Independence. Forts Clinton, Montgomery, Putnam, and Con- stitution were farther up the river. Buttermilk Falls are upon the west side, just below Cranston's large hotel* West Point, where the edifices of the United States Military Academy occupy a plateau 157 feet above the river, is in the very heart of the Highlands. At the time of the American Revolution West Point and its approaches were fortified with four forts and eight redoubts, while a chain and booms were stretched across the river to

Constitution Island. It was the most important post in the Union, since it maintained open communication with New England, and prevented the British in New York city from communicating with Canada. The Military Academy was authorized by Congress in 1802, in accordance with Washington's suggestions, and went into operation in 181 2. The Corps of Cadets numbers about 250 young men. The chief buildings are the Cadets' Barracks, Academic Building, Library, and Chapel. There are several.statues of military heroes on the plain, together with a Trophy Battery; and in the cemetery sleep Generals Winfield Scott and Robert Anderson. A turn in our course beyond West Point opens new scenes of picturesque beauty. Cro'nest and Butterhill, or Storm King, the former 1,418 feet and the latter 1,529 feet high, are the northern outposts of the range on the west side, and Mount Taurus and Breakneck Mountain, 1,438 and 1,787 feet high respectively, on the east side. Cold Spring is one of the most picturesque of the villages on the Hudson. " Undercliff," near by, was the residence of the poet George P. Morris, and " Idlewild " was the romantic home of N. P. Willis. Cornwall is a village with a romantic situation between the river and the heights, and just beyond is the handsome city of Newburg, covering the slopes. The city has a 27 population of 23,263, was founded in 1709, and received its present name from a fancied resemblance to Newburg, on the River Tay, in Scotland. In the south part of the city, and plainly to be seen from the steamer, is the old stone mansion that served General Washington as headquarters during the closing period of the Revolutionary War. The house was built in 1750 by the Hasbroucks, a Huguenot family, and made State property in 1850. Washington resided here in 1782 and 1783, while the National army occupied the Highlands and the adjacent country. The army was disbanded at Newburg June 23, 1783. It was while he was stationed here that some of the incon- siderate officers of his army formed a plan to have Washington assume the robes of a king. Fishkill is opposite Newburg. Poughkeepsie, another beautiful city, with a population of 22,836, and the seat of Vassar College, is farther up on the east bank. Here the steamer sails under the lofty railway bridge which spans the Hudson 212 feet above high-water level. This stupendous structure, with its approaches, is

6,768 feet in length, and it rises from a sunken foundation 130 feet below the water line, or 342 feet altogether. Above these cities are Kingston and Catskill, the latter town flanked by the Catskill Mountains, which rise in a noble mass in the west. There are twelve peaks seen from the river, forming a chain twenty-one miles in length, from the Overlook, in the south, to Windham High Peak, in the north. The heights of some of the principal peaks are as follows : North Mountain, 3,450 feet ; Overlook,

3,300; High Peak, 3,809 ; Sugar Loaf and Mink, 3,807 ; Plateau, 3,855 ; Wittenberg, 3,824; Cornell, 3,920; Peakamoose, 3,875; Blackhead, 3,965; Black Dome, 4,004;

Hunter, 4,052 ; Slide, 4,220.

The boat will reach Albany at 6.10 P. M., and the cars of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's Railroad will convey the party from that city to Saratoga. Wednesday will be passed at Saratoga, the visitors making their headquarters at 28 the popular Congress Hall, which is very centrally located, in proximity to the principal springs, and in the midst of all the gay life of the great summer metropolis. Concerts are given day and evening at Congress Hall and other leading hotels, and also in the neighboring Congress Park. Wednesday forenoon there will be a carriage ride, with visits to Saratoga Lake, Woodlawn (Judge Hilton's beautiful park), the Geyser Spring, etc. The oldest known spring is the High Rock, which was celebrated among the Indians previous to 1767. The Congress Spring was discovered in 1792, the Washington and Columbian in 1806, the Pavilion in 1839, the Empire in 1846, the

Hathorn in 1868, the Geyser in 1870, and the Champion in 187 1. Among the present attractions of Saratoga is a reproduction of the House of Pansa, which was destroyed at Pompeii A. D. 79. The edifice is, in fact, a perfect Roman villa of that period, built in a costly manner, and luxuriously appointed. The art, architecture, mythology, manners, and customs of the Roman Empire are illustrated in tangible form. The projector and proprietor of this unique exhibition is Mr. Franklin W. Smith, a Boston gentleman of wealth and artistic taste. Every visitor to this celebrated watering-place will find "The Pompeia" both interesting and instructive. Thursday morning the party will leave Saratoga by the Delaware & Hudson Canal

Company's Railroad, and proceed to Lake George. The route is via Fort Edward, Glens Falls, and Caldwell. At the latter point the cars connect with the steamer for a trip over the beautiful lake. Lake George lies at the southeastern margin of the great Adirondack wilderness, and is a little over thirty-three miles in length, and in its

broadest part about four miles in width. It is environed by mountains, and numerous islands also add to the picturesque beauty of the scenery. During the French War, and again in the War of the Revolution, Lake George was the scene of much strife, 29 and many sanguinary contests were fought upon its now peaceful shores. The lower end of the lake will be reached at noon, and a short railway transfer will convey the passengers across to the shores of Lake Champlain. Here at Ticonderoga we are again upon historic ground. The old fort, now in ruins, and its neighborhood witnessed many exciting exploits in the early days. Dinner will be served upon the steamer " Vermont," on board of which we are to make our northward voyage on Lake

Champlain. The scenery of this lake differs from that of Lake George, but is still very striking, the Green Mountains of Vermont being seen upon one side, and the Adirondacks of New York on the other. Both in the French War and in the Ameri- can Revolution, and also in the war of 1812, Lake Champlain was the scene of many thrilling events. We reach the handsome city of Burlington, which occupies a commanding situation of the slopes of the Vermont shore, at 5.20 P. M., and pass the night at the popular Van Ness House. Leaving Burlington by steamer at a comfortable morning hour Friday, we reach Port Kent after a trip of only forty minutes. A short ride over the Keeseville, Ausable Chasm & Lake Champlain Railroad brings us to the famous gorge. The road crosses the chasm at the Horseshoe Falls on a bridge 240 feet long and 138 feet above the water. Ausable Chasm has been formed by the river of the same name which flows from the Adirondack Mountains to Lake Champlain. The stream has carved a deep channel in the Potsdam sandstone formation, and in some places the perpendicular walls rise 200 feet above the dark waters. At one place the river is compressed to a width of only ten feet, and through this narrow channel the waters dash with great impetuosity. There are several beautiful falls, one of which, near the entrance to the goige, is twenty feet high, and another sixty feet. The chasm proper is about two miles in length, and a portion of this will be traversed by boat. Among the special 30 points of interest seen within the stupendous gorge are " Pulpit Rock," " Hell Gate," "The Oven," "The Punch Bowl," "Jacob's Well," " The Fernery," " The Well," " Mystic Gorge," " Shady Gorge," " Long Gallery," " Hyde's Cave," " Column Rocks," " Smuggler's Pass," " The Post Office," " Upper Flume," " Table Rock," " Cathedral Rocks," " The Sentinel," "The Narrows," " Sentry Box," and " The Broken Needle." After an inspection of the gorge and its many features of interest, the parties will return to Port Kent by rail, and thence by steamer to Burlington, where a second night will be passed. Saturday forenoon we shall leave Burlington by the Central Vermont Railroad and proceed via Essex Junction to Montpelier, where connection is made with the Montpelier & Wells River Railroad. At Wells River we enter upon the Concord & Montreal Railroad, which leads into the White Mountain region. The

Connecticut River is crossed between Wells River and Woodsville, and the traveler there passes from Vermont into New Hampshire. The road ascends the Ammo- noosuc River to Bethlehem Junction, and our route there diverges over the Profile & Franconia Notch Railroad to the Profile House.

The celebrated Profile House is situated in the Franconia Notch, between Echo and Profile Lakes, the latter being directly below the Great Stone Face«or the Old Man of the Mountains, the most remarkable natural profile of the human features in the world. Sunday and a part of Monday will be passed in this delightful retreat, and Monday morning will be devoted to a ride down through the Notch and a visit to the Flume, the Pool, and the Basin, three other natural wonders.

Monday afternoon the parties will leave the Profile House by rail, returning first to Bethlehem Junction, and then continuing up the Ammonoosuc Valley to Fabyan's, thence to Mount Washington, the ascent to the summit being made over the celebrated mountain railway, which reaches the topmost peak. The mountain-top com- 3* mands a wide view, the beholder being enabled to look down upon all the other summits and into scores of ravines and valleys. The summit will be reached at 6.30 P. M., and the night will be passed there. Leaving the summit at 7.00 A. M. Tuesday, the parties will descend the mountain by the railway, proceeding to Fabyan's, and thence to the Crawford House, only four miles distant. The day will be passed at this famous resort. It is one of the largest hotels in the mountain region, and it is delightfully situated upon a little plateau, at the head of the picturesque White Mountain Notch. There will be a carriage ride to the summit of Mount Willard. The view of the Notch from this elevation is very beautiful. Wednesday morning the parties will take the cars for the homeward ride over the Maine Central and Boston & Maine route. The early part of the journey is through the wild and romantic Notch. From these mountain fastnesses the train glides across the beautiful North Conway meadows, from which the view backward of the Presi- dential range is superb. Farther south we pass through Rochester, Great Falls, Portsmouth, Newburyport, Salem, and Lynn. The train will reach the station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, Eastern Division, Causeway street, at 3.30 P. M. The excursion will be carried out in accordance with the following

NEW YORK, HUDSON RIVER, ALBANY, TRENTON FALLS, The Thousand Islands, St. Lawrence River and Rapids, Montreal, Quebec, the Falls of Montmorenci, Lake Memphremagog, etc. A Twelve Days' Trip over the most Romantic Routes of Travel and to some of the most Attractive Points of Interest in New York, Canada, and New England.

Price of Tickets (all Traveling Expenses Included), . • $75.00. Price of Tickets for Children between the ages of 5 and 12 years, $55.00.

The fourth, twenty-seventh, and forty-first of our list of excursions encompass a tour through a large portion of New York, Canada, and New England, with halts at numerous points of picturesque interest and historic importance. It is a delightful combination of routes, and one that is sure to commend itself to the traveler who seeks summer recreation. A large part of the journey will be by water.

The dates of departure from Boston are July u, August 8, and September 5, and the journey to New York will be made by the favorite Fall River line. The parties will go from the Park square station at 5.10 p. M., and at Fall River will go on board 37 one of the magnificent steamers of this line for the farther journey across the waters of Mount Hope Bay, Narraganset Bay, and Long Island Sound. The morning approach to New York through East River affords a superb panorama of the metropolis and its neighbors. After breakfast on the steamer there will be a transfer by annex boat to the Hudson River Day line boat, for the farther trip up the noble " American Rhine." This delightful journey takes the entire day, and dinner will be furnished on the steamer. The boat will reach Albany, the handsome capital of the Empire State, soon after six o'clock, and the parties will proceed to The Kenmore, where they will remain until Wednesday morning, when they will take a train of drawing-room cars on the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad for Utica and Trenton Falls. From Utica to Trenton Falls our route lies over the Utica line of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad. The train will be due at Trenton Falls shortly before one o'clock, and there will be a stage transfer from the station to Moore's Hotel, where the parties will remain until Thursday afternoon. The falls are five in number, and are situated upon West Canada Creek, an affluent of the Mohawk. They are not grand in the same sense that the gigantic cataract of

Niagara is grand, but in picturesqueness and romantic beauty America has nothing finer. Their peculiar charms have inspired many eminent writers. A delightful path through an old forest leads from the hotel to the stream and along its brink to the several vantage points. The walls are in places perpendicular, and from 70 to 200 feet high, the stream having carved its way through the Trenton limestone. The chief falls are Sherman Fall, High Falls, Mill Dam Fall, and the Cascade of the Alhambra,

-and just above the latter is the worn mass known as Rocky Heart. Prospect Falls, the fifth and least interesting of the series, are three miles from the hotel. After dinner Thursday there will be a transfer to the station, and the party will 38 resume its journey northward over the Utica and Clayton lines of the Rome, Water- town & Ogdensburg Railroad. The road leads along the western verge of the Adiron- dack region, and through a picturesque section of New York. Not far from Boon- ville, which is seventeen miles north of Trenton Falls, is situated the famous " John Brown Tract," purchased in 1792 by John Brown, a wealthy gentleman of Providence,

R. I., for the purpose of founding colonies. The tract, embracing 210,000 acres, was divided into eight townships, denominated Industry, Enterprise, Perseverance, Unan- imity, Frugality, Sobriety, Economy, and Regularity ; but the colonization scheme failed in spite of its commendable nomenclature. The John Brown here alluded to should not be confounded with the hero of Osawatomie and Harper's Ferry, who had his home in another part of the Adirondack region (at North Elba), and who is buried there. At Clayton the passengers will transfer to the steamer lying at the dock adjoining, and there will be a short sail through a part of the Thousand Islands district to Alexandria Bay. Here, at the Thousand Islands House, which is charmingly situated near the shore and with a fine .outlook upon the numerous islands, the party will remain through the ensuing day. There will thus be an opportunity to enjoy the pastimes of this famous resort — fishing, boating, etc. Saturday will be devoted to the delightful trip down the St. Lawrence River by steamer. This voyage is made on one of the boats of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company, and will take the tourist through the remaining part of the romantic island region and over all the famous rapids. The rapids have a total fall of 221.6 feet before Montreal is reached, the principal ones being the Long Sault, the Coteau,the Cedars, the Split Rock, and the Lachine, the latter being just above Mont- real. The first rapids of the series, the Galop, are encountered five miles below Pres- cott. Next comes the Long Sault, one of the finest of all, having a continuous run of 39 nine miles. The steamer is here carried along at the rate of about twenty miles an hour, wholly by the course of the strong current, the steam being shut off. The Coteau Rapids are below, and the others follow in the order already named. The Lachine Rapids are the most formidable of all, and the most difficult to navigate. The surging billows are flanked by rocks, which rise on each side of the swift current. Trained Indian pilots here take the helm, and the passengers are almost breathless, while the steamer glides from out the tempestuous waters into the smooth river again. Just before reaching the Coteau Rapids the steamer approaches the fine new bridge erected by the Canada Atlantic Railway, which crosses to Valleyfield, and connects with the system of American railways to Boston and New York. This bridge is a mile and three-quarters long and consists of seventeen fixed spans. Over the main channel of the river there is a swing bridge covering 353 feet. The next bridge crosses the river a short distance below the Indian village of Caughnawaga, and belongs to the Cana- dian Pacific Railway. The structure resembles the great International Bridge across the Niagara River, and is a model of modern engineering skill. After gliding swiftly beneath this great work, the steamer comes to the third and last of the great bridge structures, the Victoria Bridge, which is two miles long. The steamer passes under this famous bridge, and the attention of the passengers is now drawn to the magnificent panorama of Montreal and its background of mountain. Sunday and Monday will be passed in Montreal, the visitors making their headquarters at the elegant Windsor Hotel, Dominion square. There will be a carriage ride Thursday morning, with visits to the principal churches and points of interest within the city. The beautiful park on the summit of Mount Royal and the Grey Nunnery (or L'Hopital de les Secures Grises) will be included in this round, which is intended to afford the visitor a comprehensive idea of Montreal and its 40 really beautiful surroundings. Among the churches worthy of attention are the French Cathedral of Notre Dame, which was built in imitation of its Paris namesake, and holds over 10,000 people, on Notre Dame street; the handsomely decorated Church of the Jesuits, on Bleury street; Christ Church Cathedral, on St. Catherine street; the new and beautiful St. James Methodist Church on St. Catherine

street, between St. Alexander and City Councillors' streets ; the Church of Notre Dame de Lourdes on St. Catherine street; the ancient Church of Notre Dame de Bonsecours, on St. Paul street; and St. Peter's Cathedral, near Dominion square. The largest bell in America, weighing 24,780 pounds, hangs in the south tower of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. It was cast in London in 1847. In the opposite tower is a chime of ten bells. The towers of Notre Dame, one of which may be ascended, are 220 feet in height. Among the prominent public buildings are several bank edifices and the Post Office, on St. James street; the Court House and new City Hall, on

Notre Dame street; the Bonsecours Market, on St. Paul street ; Ste. Anne's Market,

on Foundling street ; the Custom House, at Foundling and Common streets ; the

Young Men's Christian Association Building, on Victoria square ; and the Hotel Dieu, McGill College, College of Montreal, and the Exhibition structures, near the mountain. The statue of Her Majesty, the Queen, which ornaments Victoria square; the

Nelson Monument, at the head of Jacques Cartier square ; and the substantial docks, crowded with ocean steamers and sailing craft, are also objects of interest. The Grey Nunnery comprises an extensive group of buildings on Dorchester and Guy streets. The view from Mount Royal includes the entire city, the river and its islands, the Victoria Bridge, and a large extent of country, with Beloeil, Boucher- ville, and other distant mountains. To the list of prominent edifices should be added the Windsor Hotel, which is one of the finest establishments of its kind in America. 41 Montreal is the most populous city in Canada, having 211,302 inhabitants. Of the cities in the United States there are only fourteen larger. Leaving the Windsor Hotel on Monday, in time to take the Quebec steamer at 7.00 p. M., the party will proceed down the St. Lawrence River to Quebec, 180 miles distant. Arriving at Quebec about seven o'clock Tuesday morning, the passengers will be transferred to the St. Louis Hotel and Russell House, which will be made the abiding- places of the visitors until the succeeding afternoon. In the course of a carriage ride, which will occupy half a day, the most interesting parts of Quebec and its handsome suburbs will be visited. The carriage excursion will include a trip to the Falls of Montmorenci, as well as visits to the Citadel, the Plains of Abraham, etc. After dinner Wednesday there will be an omnibus transfer from the hotels to the Quebec Central ferry, and a train will be taken on the Point Levis side of the St. Law- rence for Newport, Vt., via Sherbrooke. Supper will be provided at Sherbrooke. The Quebec Central Railway extends to that point, and the farther journey will be over the Passumpsic Division of the Boston & Maine system. Newport will be reached in the evening.

Thursday will be spent at Newport, which is delightfully situated on the shores of the beautiful Lake Memphremagog. In the afternoon there will be a steamer excursion on the lake, the boat going over the most picturesque parts of this lovely sheet of water. The bold, rock-bound shores and numerous wooded islands, the shadowing summits of lofty mountains, with their slopes of luxurious forest, and the distant blue peaks, serve to heighten the charms of this delightful lake. The boat will return to Newport in the early evening. During the sojourn at Newport the parties will make their headquarters at the well-known Memphremagog House. Friday morning the party will leave Newport by rail and proceed to Boston via 42 Wells River, Plymouth, Concord, Manchester, Nashua, and Lowell. This route takes the traveler through a beautiful section of Vermont and New Hampshire, through the western range of the White Hills, along the romantic shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, and down through the valley of the Merrimac. The train will reach Boston (Boston & Lowell or Southern Division station of the Boston & Maine system) at 4.45 P. M.

September 5) at 5.10 P. M. At Fall River the passengers will go on board one of the magnificent floating palaces belonging to the famous Fall River line for the farther journey to New York. New York will be reached Tuesday morning, and there will be a transfer by annex

boat from Pier 28, North River, to Pier 39, from whence the splendid Hudson River Day line steamer " New York " takes its departure. The day will be occupied in the matchless voyage up the Hudson, which is bordered by some of the grandest natural scenery on the continent. The parties will reach Albany shortly after six o'clock

p. M., and a transfer from Albany to Saratoga by railway will follow. The visit to Saratoga will extend from Tuesday evening until Thursday morning, and Congress Hall will be made the sojourning-place of the visitors. A carriage ride Thursday morning will enable the party to see the attractions of America's greatest summer resort, and the remainder of the time can be profitably and pleasantly employed as individual tastes may dictate. The parties will leave Saratoga Thursday morning by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Railway line, and proceed first to Caldwell, where they will find a steamer in waiting for the trip across beautiful Lake George. This voyage will occupy several hours, and after a short railway transfer from Baldwin to Ticonderoga there will be a second water trip, this time upon Lake Champlain. The steamer will reach the handsome city of Burlington, Vt., at 5.20 P. M., and there will be a transfer to the Van Ness and American Houses, where the night will be passed. Friday morning the parties will cross the lake, from Burlington to Port Kent, and take cars from the latter point to Ausable Chasm. There will be ample time for a

full and leisurely inspection of the wonderful rift through which the Ausable River has found an outlet from the Adirondacks to Lake Champlain. Boats will be taken for a portion of the distance down through the gorge, and carriages for the return. After lunch the parties will return to Port Kent by rail, and recross the lake by steamer to Burlington, from which point there will be a railway ride over the Central 49 Vermont line to Montreal. On arrival in Montreal there will be an omnibus transfer to the popular Windsor Hotel. Three days — Saturday, Sunday, and Monday — will be passed in the Canadian metropolis. Montreal is emphatically a " City of Churches," and many of the sacred edifices, Protestant as well as Catholic, are very spacious and handsome. A carriage ride Monday morning will enable the travelers to form a comprehensive idea of the many charms of the city and its surroundings. In the course of the ride many points of interest, including the Grey Nunnery and the sightly Mount Royal Park, will be visited. Going on board the Quebec steamer Monday evening, the parties will make a night voyage to the ancient French capital of Canada, Quebec. There will be an omnibus transfer from the steamer landing to the St. Louis Hotel and the Russell House, the two leading hostelries of the city, which are under the same management. Tuesday and a part of Wednesday will be devoted to this interesting old city. There will be a carriage ride, in the course of which the Citadel, the Plains of Abraham, and many other historic sights will be visited. The excursion will be extended into the suburbs as far as the Falls of Montmorenci. The parties will leave Quebec by the Quebec Central Railway Wednesday afternoon, and proceed via Sherbrooke to Newport, Vt, where the Memphremagog House will be their headquarters from Wednesday evening until Friday morning. An excursion by steamer on beautiful Lake Memphremagog will be a feature of the stay. Leaving Newport Friday morning, the parties will journey southward via St. Johns- bury, Wells River, Plymouth, N. H., the Weirs, Lake Village, Laconia, Concord, Manchester, Nashua, and Lowell, to Boston. Dinner will be provided at the Pemi- gewasset House, Plymouth, and Boston will be reached at 4.45 P.

Within a day's ride of the great cities of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia is a vast region where nature reigns supreme. High mountains, romantic lakes, and great stretches of untouched forests teeming with noble game are features of this great northern wilderness. One need not go abroad to see nature in its highest types of grandeur, for here are countless scenes of superlative beauty. Year by year the Adirondack region has attracted greater numbers of health and pleasure seekers, sportsmen, and adventurous climbers ; but yet the settlements are few, and the lover of nature seems to have reached her inner temples. Centering in the western part of Essex county, the Adirondack region may be said to extend over this and ten other counties wholly or in part. The eastern half of this great section is very mountainous. From the south and east, Lakes George and Champlain, with the railway system of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, afford easy means of approach. The main 5° ;

northern railway line of this company runs along the west shore of Lake Champlain and stage roads, which plunge at once into the mountain region, extend from the lake shore westward. Our sixth and fifty-fifth tours will be devoted to the picturesque Adirondack Moun- tains, a week being passed within that lovely region, and the approach thereto being over those beautiful water-ways — Long Island Sound, the Hudson River, and Lakes George and Champlain. Incidentally there will be a visit to America's most famous spa, Saratoga Springs. The parties will leave Boston by the Fall River line Monday (July n and Septem- ber 12), taking the cars at the Old Colony Railroad station, Park square, at 5.10 p. M. The railway ride extends to Fall River, where one of the fine steamers of this line will be in waiting. The passage of Long Island Sound will be made at night, and in the

morning the steamer reaches New York. Proceeding to Pier No. 39, North River, from Pier No. 28, by annex steamer, the passengers will there go on board the magnificent steamer " New York " for a daylight journey up the noble Hudson, a trip that is unsurpasssd in picturesque interest. The boat will reach Albany at 6.10 P. M., and the cars of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad will convey the party to Saratoga. Wednesday will be passed at that celebrated resort, the visitors making their headquarters at Congress Hall, one of the most favored hotels of the great summer watering-place. During the forenoon there will be a carriage ride, with visits to Saratoga Lake, Woodlawn, the Geyser Spring, etc. Among the present attractions of

Saratoga is the unique exhibition known as •" The Pompeia." Thursday morning the parties will take the cars of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's line and proceed to Caldwell, there transferring to one of the Champlain Transportation Company's steamers for the trip over Lake George. From the lower

57 end of the lake there is a short railway transfer to the shores of Lake Champlain, where another steamer will convey the passengers northward. Westport, upon the west or New York side of the lake, will be reached at 3.30 P. M., and there will be a stage ride from the landing to Elizabethtown, eight miles distant. The road is excellent, and this and the subsequent stage journeys through the Adirondack country are sure to be very enjoyable. The road penetrates the mountain region soon after leaving Westport, and ascends to Raven Pass, which is in the first of the five ranges, the third being the culminating ridge, with Mounts Marcy, Whiteface, and other high of the same peaks as its chief pinnacles. Raven Peak is a high hill near the pass name. Beyond, two of the grand mountains of the second range — Hurricane Peak feet) are seen. The former is a sharply (3,763 feet high) and the Giant (4,530 — # defined peak, which stands out in bold and striking contrast to the surrounding hills, Pass into the and the latter is a massive dome. Descending slightly from Raven this valley of the Bouquet River, Elizabethtown is reached. Although a county seat, and, but for the presence town has little of the noise and bustle of the outside world, Elizabethtown of several summer hotels, would have still less. During our stay in Orlando Kellogg we shall make our headquarters at the Windsor Hotel, of which Mr. situated amid the hills, and from is the proprietor. Elizabethtown is most charmingly climbed — the neighboring eminences — notably from Wood Hill, which is easily magnificent views are obtained. Leaving Elizabethtown by stage, there is a picturesque ride of twenty-four miles of the westward to Lake Placid. This journey brings the traveler into the very heart mountain and lake region. Following up the narrow valley of the Keene Branch, which flows into the Bouquet, the road crosses the divide under the brow of Mount Hurricane, and then descends into the romantic Keene Valley, one of the loveliest ;

regions in the whole Adirondack district. High mountains rise on every side, and in the south are seen the'sharp, blue outlines of the Gothics. A single glimpse is had of the pyramid of Mount Marcy while descending the hill east of Keene. Nothing can be finer than the view southward up the east branch of the Ausable River. A broad, green valley, with a clear, meandering stream, is bordered by forest-clad hills, which farther back assume gigantic proportions; while in the distance are serrated ridges of blue mountains, forming a group of shapely peaks. Continuing beyond Keene, the road enters a dark and narrow pass under the steep cliffs of Pitch-Off Mountain. On the left are Edmunds' Ponds, two long, narrow, and very deep stretches of water and the opposite wall, formed by Long Pond Mountain,' is almost a sheer precipice for 1,000 feet or more. At one place a cascade shimmers in the sunlight high up on the tree-clad wall. The elevation of Pitch-Off Pass is 2,038 feet. Beyond this lies the little town of North Elba, made famous as the home and last resting-place of John Brown. It was here that the hero of Osawatomie and Harper's Ferry established a colored colony in the old slavery days. The grave of John Brown is upon the bluff west of the main road, and is reached through a by-way.

Lake Placid is a few miles from the town of North Elba. It is a lovely sheet of water, surrounded by high mountains or high banks. A little village of summer hotels has sprung up near its southern extremity; and at the Grand View or Mirror Lake* Houses the party will make its headquarters. At the opposite end of Lake Placid, some five miles distant from the hotels, is Whiteface, one of the grandest of all the Adirondack Mountains, which is visible from base to summit. The lake has an elevation of 1,863 ^ eet > and the mountain rises 3,008 feet higher. The lake is divided into two equal parts by Buck, Moose, and Hawk Islands. The view southward includes Mount Marcy (5,344 feet), Mount Mclntyre (5,112 feet), and other noble mountain 59 forms, together with the bold and clear-cut outlines of Indian Pass. There is no more picturesque outlook in the whole region than that afforded by the eminences on the shores of Lake Placid. The beautiful lake and the distant fringe of blue mountains, with the nearer form of Whiteface, remind one of the romantic views across the Swiss lakes. Our stop at Lake Placid will extend through three full days, with a departure on the fourth day. This sojourn will give opportunities for boating on the lake and other recreations, and the return tickets from this point will be good for a much longer time, so that persons who desire to make a more prolonged visit, or who wish to penetrate farther into the lake region, can do so. On one of the days of the

stay there will be a carriage ride to Adirondack Lodge, nine miles distant. This is a beautiful retreat on the shores of Clear Lake, in the heart of the wilderness. The proprietor, Mr. Henry van Hoevenbergh, owns 640 acres, and carefully preserves the grand old forests in all their native beauty. The Lodge is a large and handsome log structure, tastefully built and elegantly furnished. Mount Jo, or " The Bear," is a neighboring mountain which is easily climbed. From the summit splendid views are had of Mounts Mclntyre, Marcy, Colden, Wallface, Whiteface, etc. Either going or returning a visit will be paid to John Brown's grave. Leaving Lake Placid by stage at 10.00 A. M. on Wednesday, the parties will journey

•to Saranac Lake station, about twelve miles distant, where we take the cars of the Cha- teaugay Railroad for the farther journey to Plattsburgh. Before leaving this beautiful region, however, we shall visit the popular Hotel Ampersand and take dinner. The

Chateaugay road is seventy-three miles in length, and provides a new and very desirable route to the very heart of the Adirondack region. Bloomingdale, Round Pond, Loon Lake, Lyon Mountain, Chazy Lake, and Dannemora are among the points on this line, and there are stage and boat connections with several celebrated resorts. On reaching 60 Plattsburgh we shall go onboard the capacious steamer "Vermont," on which we are to make a short voyage southward in the morning. Supper, stateroom berths, and breakfast will be furnished on board the vessel, which will remain at Plattsburgh over night. Leaving Plattsburgh Thursday morning at 7.00 o'clock, "the steamer will reach Port Kent, from whence there will be a short railway ride to Ausable Chasm. The forenoon will be passed in an inspection of this wonderful freak of nature. The chasm proper is about two miles in length, and a portion of this will be traversed by boat. After lunch the parties will proceed by railway to Port Kent, three miles distant, and thence by steamer across Lake Champlain to Burlington, Vt, where the night will be passed at the Van Ness House. Leaving Burlington, via the Central Vermont Railroad, at 8.30 a. m. Friday, there will be a pleasant journey through to Boston, which will be reached at 5.40 P. M. Dinner will be provided at Bellows Falls, Vt. The excursion will be carried out in accordance with the following ITINERARY.

There are no more delightful resorts in the heated term than the seashore and lakes of Maine and New Hampshire. Two of our excursions include a round of some of the choicest of these — the Isles of Shoals, Mount Desert, and Moosehead Lake, together with a visit to the charming city of Portland.

The parties will leave Boston Tuesday, July 12, and Tuesday, September 13, at 9.30 A. M., from the Eastern Division station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, on Cause- way street. The eastward journey brings into view a picturesque part of the Massa- chusetts and New Hampshire coasts. We shall reach the old city of Portsmouth, N. H., at 11. 13, and there transfer to a steamer for the farther trip to the Isles of Shoals, about ten miles distant. The trip affords a delightful view of Portsmouth and its charming surroundings. The Isles of Shoals will be reached at 12.30, and the party 67 will stop at The Oceanic, a hotel which has won high reputation as a summer resort of the best class. The Isles of Shoals comprise a group of eight islands, belonging partly to Maine and partly to New Hampshire, the possession of the latter State having been incorporated into the town of Gosport. They were first called Smith's Isles, having been thus designated by the redoubtable Captain John Smith, who visited them in 1614. One of the first settlers was William Pepperell, an ancestor of Sir William Pepperell, of Kittery. There was a populous settlement (about 600 persons) here previous to the Revolution, fishing being the main pursuit; and more than 150 years ago ship-loads of fish were sent to Spain and the West Indies. Now the fishing interest has dwindled in importance, or rather it has been left to the summer guests of the hotels.

The islands are masses of rocks, and a ramble in any direction is full of interest. The parties will leave the islands at 9.30 o'clock Wednesday morning, by steamer, for the return trip to Portsmouth, and that city will be reached at 10.25. Special drawing- room cars will be in waiting, and, leaving Portsmouth at 10.55 o'clock, the party will continue its journey eastward. On leaving Portsmouth the train crosses the Piscata- qua River and enters the State of Maine. The railway skirts the Maine coast for some distance, and between Biddeford and Saco crosses the Saco River. Portland will soon be reached, and dinner will be provided at the new Union station. The train will then proceed over the main line of the Maine Central Railroad. This latter railway line passes through a beautiful section of the Pine Tree State, and for nearly fifty miles along the pleasant banks of the Kennebec River. The

Androscoggin River is first crossed at Brunswick, and a little farther on the road approaches the Kennebec. Bowdoinham, Richmond, Gardiner, Hallowell, and Augusta (the fair capital of the State) are among the places passed through. At Augusta, the 68 Gapitol, a massive granite structure, is seen upon the left ; and upon the right, across the river, are the Insane Hospital and the United States Arsenal. On leaving Augusta the train crosses the Kennebec on an iron bridge, from which a fine view is had. Continuing along the eastern bank of the river for nearly a score of miles, we pass through Vassalboro and Winslow into Waterville, a handsome town and the seat of Colby University. Ticonic Falls are seen on entering Waterville. The Ken- nebec is crossed for the last time near Waterville, and our route leads through a dozen smaller towns to Bangor. Continuing from that city over the new Mount Desert Branch of the Maine Central, the party will cross the Penobscot River, and pass through Brewer, Holden, Ellsworth, and Hancock to the ferry landing, which is near the foot of Sullivan River Falls, forty-three miles from Bangor, and thence by ferry-boat across Frenchman's Bay to Bar Harbor, a farther distance of seven miles. Bar Harbor will be reached at 7.15 P. M., and there will be a carriage transfer from the boat landing to the West End Hotel. Mount Desert Island lies on the coast of Maine no miles east of Portland, and is separated by an arm of the sea about 700 feet wide. It has an area of about 100 square miles, and includes three towns — Tremont, Mount Desert, and Eden. Bar Harbor, the chief place of summer resort, lies significantly within the borders of the latter. The surface of the island is diversified in a remarkable manner. Ocean, lake, and mountain are the elements of almost every prospect. There are scores of mountains, one of which, Green Mountain, towers to the height of 1,522 feet, presenting a bold outline from every direction. A beautiful sheet of water known as Eagle Lake nestles at its foot. There are five other mountains over 1,000 feet high. At one place a deep sound penetrates the island for seven miles, overshadowed by ponderous mountains. The shore is a succession of picturesque cliffs broken here 69 and there into little inlets and beaches. There are numerous fresh-water lakes, one of the most charming of which, Eagle Lake, has already been mentioned. The view from Green Mountain is indescribably fine, and on Thursday there will be an excursion thither in barges. Thursday and Friday will be passed at Bar Harbor. Leaving Bar Harbor Saturday morning, the travelers will retrace their way by ferry-boat and cars to Bangor, where dinner will be provided. The journey will then be resumed over the Bangor & Piscat- aquis Railroad, a connection of the Maine Central, to Greenville, eighty-eight miles distant, at the southern extremity of Moosehead Lake. This road diverges from the Maine Central at Oldtown, twelve miles beyond Bangor, and to that point the traveler rides beside the noble Penobscot. Upon an island in the river, at Oldtown, is an ancient Indian village. The road now leaves the Penobscot and passes through several small towns. Near Milo Junction a magnificent view is had of Mount Katahdin, which is about forty miles distant. This mountain is 5,385 feet high and the loftiest peak in Maine. At Greenville a steamer will be in waiting, and, after a pleasant sail of about twenty miles, the hospitable Mount Kineo House will be reached. Moosehead Lake, the largest and certainly most romantic of Maine's numerous sheets of water, is on the outskirts of the far-reaching wilderness that has rendered Northern Maine a terra incognita, save to the bold and adventurous sportsman. It is thirty-six miles long, from a mile to fourteen miles in width, and so irregular in form that its shore line extends fully 300 miles. It is the unfailing reservoir of the picturesque Kennebec River, and is fed by numerous little streams, several of which flow from other lakes or small ponds. The shores are generally wooded with birch and poplar, fir and spruce, and present every form of graceful contour in countless bays and peninsulas. The dominant feature in the view from the lake is Mount Kineo, a 70 bold eminence that rises in an unbroken cliff to the height of 1,758 feet above the sea level, or 763 feet above the lake, from a peninsula on the west side. Monday morning will be devoted to a steamer excursion upon the lake, with visits to its most romantic and picturesque points. Leaving the Mount Kineo House Tuesday morning, the parties will return to Green- ville by boat, and then, taking drawing-room cars, proceed over the Bangor & Piscat- aquis Railroad to Dover and thence over the new branch of the Maine Central Rail- road via Dexter to the main line of the same road at Newport. From Newport the train will continue via Waterville, Augusta, Hallowell, Gardiner, and Brunswick to Portland. On arriving in Portland there will be an omnibus transfer to the popular Falmouth House, where the night will be passed. Leaving Portland Wednesday at 12.40 P. M., we shall proceed over the Eastern Division of the Boston & Maine Rail- road, arriving in Boston (Western Division station, Haymarket square) at 4.30 P. M. ITINERARY.

Price of Tickets (all Traveling Expenses Included), . . $40.00. Price of Tickets for Children between the ages of 5 and 13 years, $29.00.

Four of our excursions follow the same itinerary in a delightful round of the White Mountain resorts, the order in which the several places are visited being different from the tours already outlined. The dates of departure are Tuesdays, July 12 and 26, and September 6 and 20. A train will be taken at the Eastern Division station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, Causeway street, at 1.1 5 P. M., and the party will proceed to North Conway. The route eastward and northward is through Lynn, Salem, Newburyport, Portsmouth, Great Falls, and Conway. North Conway will be reached at 5.45 P. M., and the night and succeeding forenoon will be passed at the Kearsarge House. Wednesday morning there will be a carriage ride, with visits to Conway, Echo Lake, Cathedral Ledge, Diana's Baths, etc. Leaving North Conway 74 at 3.00 P. m. on Wednesday, the party will proceed northward through the romantic White Mountain Notch, over the most picturesque part 06 the Maine Central Railroad.

This trip is one of the salient features of the journey through the mountain region.

The scenery is grand and impressive, as the traveler is carried into the very heart of the hills. The train will be due at the Crawford House at 4.40, at the Mount Pleasant House 4.48, and the Fabyan House 4.50 P. m. The party will remain at these hotels through Thursday and until Friday afternoon, an option being given passengers regarding their sojourning-place. Ample time will be given to visit all the picturesque points in and about the White Mountain Notch, and also to ascend Mount Willard, which commands a remarkably fine view. The ascent will be made Thursday in the course of a carriage excursion, a good road leading to the summit. Leaving the several hotels Friday afternoon, the party will proceed over the Mount Washington Branch of the Concord & Montreal Railroad and the Mount Washington Railway to the top of the highest mountain in New England. The summit will be reached at 6.30 P. M. ; and here, at the elevation of 6,291 feet above the sea, the night will be passed at the Mount Washington Summit House. Leaving the mountain top at 7.00 a. m. Saturday, the party will journey by the railway down into the valley, and thus enjoy a second trip over this wonderful line. Taking the same route as far as the Mount Pleasant House and Fabyan's, by which we approached Mount Wash- ington, we continue down the Ammonoosuc Valley to Bethlehem Junction, where we change to the Profile & Franconia Notch Railroad (narrow gauge) for the farther ride of nine miles to the Profile House.

At this famous mountain retreat the party will spend Sunday, or if preferred, persons may go on to the Flume House, five miles farther down the picturesque valley of the Pemigewasset, and pass Sunday there. Both hotels are under the proprietorship 75 of Messrs. Taft & Greenleaf ; and in the vicinity of the Flume House are many places of interest, including the Flume, Pool, and Mount Pemigewasset. There will be a carriage ride Saturday afternoon to the Flume and Pool from the Profile House. Monday will be devoted to the return journey to Boston. Stage coaches will leave the Profile House at 8.30 A. M. and the Flume House an hour later. The party will leave North Woodstock by the Pemigewasset Valley Branch of the Concord & Mont-

real Railroad at 11.05 A - M - Plymouth will be reached at 11.50, and after dinner at the Pemigewasset House the southward journey by rail will be resumed over the Con- cord & Montreal Railroad and the Boston & Maine system of roads. The train will be due in Boston at 4.45 p. m. ITINERARY.

The grandly picturesque region of the Saguenay River forms the chief feature in

Tours 13, 25, and 47, which have July 12, July 26, and September 6 as the dates of departure from Boston.

The scenery upon the Lower St. Lawrence and its great tributary, the Saguenay, is upon the same stupendous scale that has made the great river of the Pacific Northwest, the Columbia, so famous. Bold cliffs rise to great heights, while a deep river rolls in shadows at their base. The romantic St. Lawrence is a fitting prelude to the grander Saguenay, where the voyager sails over fathomless depths, between giant walls, and amid scenes of primitive wildness and solitude. The several parties will leave Boston at 1.15 p. m. on the dates named, from the 79 Eastern Division station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, Causeway street, in drawing- room cars. The route lies through the White Mountains, and we take one of the most charming routes thither, along the coast of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The train will be due at the two famous houses, the Crawford and the Fabyan, at 6.55 and 7.05 p. m. respectively. The latter part of the railway ride is through the White Mountain Notch, one of the wildest and most picturesque sections in the whole mountain district, the road climbing through the narrow Saco Valley, while high

and rugged peaks lift their giant forms on either side. The night and succeeding forenoon will be passed at the Crawford and Fabyan Houses, and there will be ample time Wednesday morning to visit the charming nooks and grand view-points in the vicinity. The party will dine at the Fabyan House, and at 1.00 P. M. will proceed northward to Montreal. The route will be via Bethlehem Junction, Littleton, Wells River, Montpelier, and St. Albans.

The journey from Montpelier to St. Albans is over the picturesque Central Vermont line, and the scenery of the Winooski Valley and the Green Mountains is of the most varied and pleasing character. Fine views are to be had of Camel's Hump and Mount Mansfield, the highest peaks of the Green Mountains. The latter has the greater elevation, and attains an altitude of 4,359 feet above sea-level. The Adirondack Moun- tains, beyond the western shores of Lake Champlain, may also be seen as the railway comes nearer to the lake. St. Albans, one of the busiest and most cosmopolitan of Vermont towns, is reached at six o'clock, and Montreal at 8.00 P. M. Thursday will be passed in Montreal, the visitors making their headquarters at the elegant Windsor Hotel, Dominion square. There will be a carriage ride Thursday morning, with visits to the principal churches and points of interest within the city. The beautiful park at the summit of Mount Royal and the Grey Nunnery (or L'Hop- 80 ital de les Soeures Grises) will be included in this round, which is intended to afford the visitor a comprehensive idea of Montreal and its really beautiful surroundings. There are many beautiful churches in Montreal, both Catholic and Protestant. The Cathedral of Notre Dame has two lofty towers, one of which may be ascended. At 7.00 P. M. on Thursday the party will leave Montreal for Quebec on one of the fine steamers of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company's line. The morning approach to Quebec affords a series of remarkably picturesque views of the ancient French capital. The passengers are transferred to the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company's Saguenay steamer without delay, the two vessels being placed alongside each other. Forty-eight hours are occupied in the magnificent voyage down the noble St. Lawrence

River and up the still wider and more picturesque Saguenay, with the return to

Quebec, and this period is crowded full of novel and interesting experiences. The scenery is of the grandest description, and the trip is so planned that the passenger passes over every part of the route by daylight, either going or returning. Soon after leaving Quebec the passenger sees in the distance Montmorenci Falls in an indenta- tion of the north bank of the river. The steamer next passes along the shores of the beautiful Island of Orleans, which Jacques Cartier in 1535 christened the " Isle of Bacchus." As soon as the island is passed the frowning heights of Cape Tourment come into view, and the steamer is compelled to approach the picturesque point quite closely. The cape forms a part of the Laurentian range of mountains, and rises to the height of about 2,000 feet. At the highest elevation a cross was erected in 1616, and this was replaced by a small chapel in 1870. After passing through several fine groups of romantic islands the steamer approaches the picturesque village of Murray

Bay, one of the most famous summer resorts of the Canadians. From here the vesse 1 81 crosses the widening St. Lawrence to Riviere du Loup, near which Cacouna, another

fashionable watering-place, is situated. Recrossing the river, the boat makes its next stop at Tadousac, an ancient village which occupies a position on the north shore of the St. Lawrence and at the mouth of the Saguenay. This place formed the headquarters of the early French settlers in the sixteenth century. Pere Marquette, the explorer of the Mississippi Valley, resided here in a house built of stone and mortar, the first edifice of its kind built in America. A little old church, erected in the early part of the last century, in place of an older structure, forms one of the chief centres of attraction. Mr. Murray has laid some of the most thrilling scenes of his beautiful story, " The Doom of Mamelons," on the banks of the Saguenay and near Tadousac. We now enter the great rock gorge, through which pour the unfathomable floods of the mountain-shadowed river of the North. The Saguenay seems to occupy a rift through the Laurentian Mountains, extending a distance of 130 miles from Lake St. John to the St. Lawrence. Ten rivers pour their waters into Lake St. John. For ninety miles the Saguenay is a deep, and for much of the way a fathomless gulf, with steep, precipitous walls on either side. The continuous ridges rise 1,000 and 1,500

.feet, while mountain peaks shoot up Still higher. Capes Eternity and Trinity are two mighty headlands which guard the entrance to Eternity Bay. The latter rises almost perpendicularly from the water to the height of 1,700 feet. The river at this point is 1,000 feet deep. Tableau Rock is a great cliff that might have been carved by Titans.

Landings are made at Ha! Ha! Bay and Chicoutimi. The latter is quite a populous French town, which stands at the head of navigation. Many quaint scenes are to be

. witnessed at both places. The voyage up the Saguenay is generally made at night, and the return by day, so that none of the wonderfully grand and impressive scenery

is lost to the tourist. 82 The return voyage will occupy Saturday and Saturday night, and the passengers will awake near Quebec Sunday morning. The ancient city presents a very striking appearance from the river; the steep cliffs crowned by the walls of the Citadel, the quaint buildings and the glistening spires, domes, and roofs, forming a picture essen- tially foreign, which the groups of "carters," with their caleches and other strange vehicles met with at the docks, only serve to heighten. Sunday and the greater part of Monday will be passed in this quaint town of the olden time, the visitors making the St. Louis Hotel and the Russell House their places of abode. One of the features of the visit will be a carriage ride Monday morning to points that are distant from the hotel. Quebec is unique in its every aspect, and of especial interest to the American visitor. It is more European in character than American, and of an ancient European type which has suffered few changes. The upper town is surrounded by a massive and frowning wall of hewn stone nearly three miles in length, and five gateways formerly communicated with the inclosed part of the city. From the lofty Citadel, or from the magnificent promenade known as Dufferin Terrace, the beholder looks down upon a curious scene of activity. The Citadel covers about forty acres, and was long considered an impregnable fortress. The Plains of Abraham, and the precipitous bluffs scaled by the intrepid Wolfe and his brave soldiers in that famous surprise and victory of 1759, are near at hand. Point Levis, on the opposite bank, is where Arnold and his little army rendezvoused in 1775, after their memorable march through the wilderness. The Governor's Garden, or garden of the fortress, contains a monument sixty-five feet in height, which was erected to the memory of those two brave com- manders, Wolfe and Montcalm. The Basilica, or French Cathedral, contains some fine paintings by eminent artists. The Seminary Chapel adjoining, in which was a large and valuable collection of works of art, was destroyed by fire, with all its con- •83 tents, a few years since. The Falls of Montmorenci are six miles from the city; and the drive thither, out through Beauport, one of the prettiest suburbs of the city, is delightful. The falls have a descent of 240 feet, and near them was fought the unsuc- cessful and nearly disastrous battle which preceded Wolfe's final victory on the Plains of Abraham. After lunch on Monday there will be an omnibus transfer from the hotels to the

Quebec Central Railway ferry ; and at 2.00 P. M. a train will be taken on said road, on the Point Levis side of the St. Lawrence, for Sherbrooke, Can., and thence over the Passumpsic Division of the Boston & Maine system for Newport, Vt. Supper will be provided at Sherbrooke, and Newport will be reached at 10.40 P. M. From Monday night until Wednesday morning the party will sojourn at the Mem-

phremagog House, which is delightfully situated on the shores of the beautiful lake of the same name. On Tuesday there will be a steamboat excursion on the lake, the steamer going as far as Georgeville, and over the most picturesque parts of this beautiful sheet of water. The bold, rock-bound shores, numerous wooded islands, the shadowing summits of lofty mountains, with their slopes of luxurious forests, and the distant blue peaks, serve to heighten the charm of the lovely lake. Leaving Newport Wednesday morning at 8.15, the party will resume its journey southward over the Boston & Lowell system of the Boston & Maine Railroad, and the Concord & Montreal Railroad, St. Johnsbury and Wells River in Vermont, Warren, Plymouth, Lake Village, Laconia, Tilton, Concord, Manchester, and Nashua in New Hampshire, and the Massachusetts cities of Lowell and Woburn, lie upon this route. Dinner will be provided at the Pemigewasset House, Plymouth, and the train will reach Boston at 4.45 p. M. The excursion will be carried out in accordance with the following ITINERARY.

The jEIizcLsoTh ^Hiver, THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS, COOPERSTOWN, AND BEAUTIFUL LAKE OTSEGO, Saratoga, the Hoosac Tunnel Route, etc.

A Delightful Tour by Steamer, Railway, and Stage through a Picturesque Section of New York.

Price of Tickets (all Traveling Expenses Included), . . $60.00. Price of Tickets for Children between the ages of 5 and 12 years, $45.00.

The beautiful lakes of New York have had their praises sounded in song and story until their shores seem peopled with the creations of poesy and romance. None stands forth more prominently in this respect than fair Otsego, of whose charms the novelist Cooper wrote so lovingly. His home was upon its borders, and many of the scenes of his " Leatherstocking Tales" were laid in its vicinity. It is the "Glimmerglass " of the " Deerslayer," whose prowess was exercised in the contiguous forests. The town where Cooper lived, now a favorite summer resort, took the name of the author, and, as the nomenclature of the region is largely derived from his pages, the visitor wanders constantly amid picturesque reminders of his heroes and their deeds. Another region abounding in picturesque and romantic interest, within easy reach of New England, and yet, speaking comparatively, but little known to tourists from this section of the country, is that of the Catskill Mountains. Not only do the mountains themselves abound in scenes of great beauty, but the natural approach thereto is by that picturesque water highway, the Hudson River. The mountain scenery has inspired the pens of Irving, Cooper, Bryant, N. P. Willis, Willis Gaylord Clark, Harriet Mar- tineau, Bayard Taylor, and other distinguished writers, and many a secluded nook has been made famous in romance, poem, and picture. Here Irving located his legend of " Rip Van Winkle," and Cooper some of the finest scenes of his tales of the woods. So closely allied to these heights, glens, and waterfalls are the myths of the novelist's brain, that the strange heroes of romance become almost veritable beings in the presence of their pictured haunts.- The surrounding country witnessed some of the sturdy realities of early Dutch and English occupation, and many of the deeply dramatic events of the American struggle for independence. Year by year railway improve ments have crept into the mountain section, and all the important points are now easily accessible, a few hours* railway riding now sufficing, where days of toilsome journeying by stage or mountain wagon were formerly requisite. Two tours of nine days each have been arranged, combining the two sections mentioned together with an ascent of the Hudson by steamer, a visit to Saratoga, and a return to Boston by the popular Hoosac Tunnel route. The parties will leave Boston by the favorite Fall River line Tuesday afternoon,

July 12, and Tuesday afternoon, September 6, taking cars from the station at Park square at 5.10 P. M., and proceeding to Fall River, where they will go on board one of 89 the palatial steamers belonging to this route. Supper will be served before the arrival of the other passengers, and the evening can be devoted to the fine sail down Mount Hope and Narraganset Bays, or the orchestral concert which takes place nightly in the spacious and elegant saloon. The morning approach to New York through East River affords a magnificent panorama of the metropolis and its surroundings. Breakfast will be served on the Fall River boat, and there will be a transfer by annex steamer to the Vestry street pier, from whence one of the elegant steamers of the Hudson River Day line will leave at 8.40 A. M. The magnificent trip up the Hudson River has been described h; connection with some of the other tours. Dinner will be had on board the steamer, and at Rhinebeck, 90 miles above New York, which will be reached at 2.10 P. M., the party will disembark and cross the river by ferry to Rondout, reaching there at 2.25 A. M. Rondout is a part of Kingston and is situated at the mouth of Rondout Creek. We now take the cars of the Ulster & Delaware Railroad for the Catskill Mountains, which have already become prominent objects, being situated from eight to twenty miles west of the Hudson. There are twelve mountain peaks seen from the river, forming a chain twenty-one miles in length, from the Overlook in the south to Windham High Peak in the north. The railroad by which we journey towards this region has necessarily a steep grade. At Stony Hollow, nine miles from Rondout, the elevation is 410 feet, and at West Hurley, a mile farther on, it is 530 feet. Low hills at times obscure the loftier range, but occasionally there are grand views of the high peaks, and especially of Overlook

Mountain, in front of which West Hurley is situated. Shokan, 18 miles from the river, is at the gateway of the Catskills, and the road thenceforward has a more northerly course. Near this station are some fine views. At Phoenicia, which is at the base of Tremper Mountain, we are at an elevation of 798 feet. Here the deep gorge 90 known as the Stony Clove enters the Shandaken Valley. Through t this gorge the Stony Clove & Kaaterskill Railroad runs, and as the Catskill Mountain House is our destination, we take this line and journey northward. The ascent through the Clove is steep, often 150 feet, and in one place 180 feet, to the mile. In ten miles the rise is r,273 feet. For some distance the road is upon a ledge along the mountain-side. Here we are walled in by high mountains on either side, the clove, or gorge, being quite narrow. The mountains rise to a height of 3,000 feet, and the scenery is of the wildest and most picturesque character. Ice is found in the gloomy depths of the :love in midsummer. Making its way along the right wall of the gorge by a steep pathway, the railway is, at Kaaterskill Junction (12 miles from Phoenicia), 2,000 feet ibove the sea. Continuing on, we pass the Daurel House, which is situated at the lead of Kaaterskill Falls, and two miles beyond arrive at Kaaterskill station, from vhence we make a short transfer to the Catskill Mountain House, which will be made mr sojourning-place from Wednesday until Friday morning. The eastern Catskills are better known than the western part of the mountain group, ind formerly this was the only part of the region that was really accessible to tourists.

The Mountain House has been a famous place of resort for nearly sixty years. It is ituated on the verge of a great precipice on the face of Pine Orchard Mountain, >verlooking a vast stretch of the Hudson River Valley, the river itself being eight

niles distant. The hotel has an elevation of 2,250 feet, and is said to command a lew of 10,000 square miles of the valley. The river can be seen for sixty miles, and

ar beyond it are the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. The view is one of the randest in America, and especially beautiful at sunrise. In the rear of the hotel are wo little lakes that flow into the Kaaterskill. There are many romantic walks in the

icinity of the Mountain House, one of the most favored of which is to North 9i Mountain. Another is over South Mountain. High Peak, some half-dozen miles distant, is also' frequently climbed. The Mountain House park has a valley frontage of over three miles, and comprises 3,000 acres, largely forest. Leaving the Mountain House Friday morning, we shall retrace our way, via Kaaters- kill Junction and the Stony Clove line, to Phoenicia, from whence we continue over the Ulster & Delaware Railroad to the western Catskills. On the right are Mount Sheridan, Broadstreet Hollow, North Dome, Peck Hollow, Mount Sherrill, and Deep Notch. At the entrance to the latter lies Shandaken Centre. Three miles from Shandaken lies the hamlet of Big Indian, which is the point of departure for Slide Mountain, the highest of the Catskills. At this point the road leaves the valley and begins to climb the mountain-side, with a grade of from 140 to 150 feet to the mile.

Pine Hill is one of the most interesting places on the route on account of the magnificent view it commands. The station is high on the hillside, while the village is in the valley below. From this point the train travels two miles to accomplish one, rounds a " horseshoe " curve, lifts itself up the steepest grade of the line, and comes to a halt at the summit of the pass 1,886 feet above tide-water. From this divide waters flow into the Hudson and the Delaware. We continue twenty-three miles farther to Churchill Hall, Stamford, N. Y., where we pass the night. The railway descends from the mountains into the valley of the west branch of the Delaware. Roxbury, a thriving village eighteen miles from the summit, was the early home of the celebrated financier, Jay Gould, and in it is pointed out the country store where he found employment as a boy. On Saturday there will be a stage ride of eighteen miles from Stamford to West Davenport, where the cars are taken for Cooperstown. The stage route lies through a charming region, and the ride is likely to form one of the most delightful features of the tour. On arrival at West Davenport a train on the 92 Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley Railroad will be taken for Cooperstown, sixteen miles distant, where we shall arrive Saturday afternoon. Cooperstown is situated at the southern end of Otsego Lake, about 1,200 feet above the level of the sea. There are many places of interest and picturesque points of lookout near the town, or within easy walking distance, including Hannah's Hill, Mount Vision, Prospect Rock, Lakewood Cemetery, Leatherstocking's Cave, Natty Uumppo's Cave, and Leatherstocking Falls. Cooper's resting-place is in the Episco- pal churchyard. An Orphanage, located here, is a monument of the noble qualities of heart possessed by Miss Susan Fenimore Cooper, daughter of the novelist. We shall remain at this pleasant resort over Sunday. Leaving Cooperstown by railway Monday afternoon, we shall proceed first to the junction of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad, and then continue over the latter line to Albany and Saratoga. Our route extends through the Schoharie Valley, a region settled in the early part of the last century by the Palatinate Ger- mans, who established here seven dorfs, or villages. The original possessors of the land were the Schoharie clan of the Six Nations. Howe's Cave, a cavern of large extent, is situated forty miles from Albany. The parties will reach Saratoga Monday evening, and the succeeding day will be passed at this famous resort, the visitors making their headquarters at the popular Congress Hall, which is very centrally located, in proximity to the principal springs, md in the midst of all the gay life of the great summer metropolis. The parties will leave Saratoga Wednesday morning and make a daylight journey to Boston over the favorite Hoosac Tunnel line. This road crosses the Hudson River near Mechanicville, afterwards ascends the romantic and winding Hoosac Valley, and rear North Adams, Mass., pierces the Hoosac Mountains. The tunnel is one of the 93 greatest works of its kind in the world, being four and three-quarters miles in length. It occupied many years in construction, and was completed by the State of Massachu- setts at a cost of $16,000,000. The charming town of Williamstown, through which the road passes before reaching North Adams, is the seat of Williams College. In the vicinity are the highest of the Berkshire Hills, including Greylock (3,535 feet elevation). On the eastern side of Hoosac Tunnel we emerge at the head of the beautiful Deerfleld Valley, which we traverse for about thirty miles. Near Greenfield are some magnificent views southward, looking down the Connecticut Valley. The latter stream is crossed, and we then ascend the romantic Miller's River Valley, passing through

Orange, Athol, and other flourishing towns. The Nashua River is seen at Fitchburg. The train will reach Boston at a seasonable afternoon hour. The excursion will be carried out in accordance with the following ITINERARY.

There are no more varied or attractive tours than those arranged under this head — comprising a twelve days' trip through Pennsylvania, New York, Canada, and Northern New England. Its objective points are Mauch Chunk, Watkins Glen, Niagara P'alls, the Thousand Islands, the picturesque St. Lawrence River, Montreal, and Lake Memphremagog, and the routes to be traversed in reaching them include in themselves many scenic attractions.

Three parties will leave Boston Tuesday, July 12, Tuesday, August 9, and Tuesday, September 6, and proceed to New York by the favorite Fall River linel The railway ride takes the traveler through a pleasant part of Eastern Massachusetts ; and Fall River, where one of the magnificent steamers of this line will be in waiting, will be reached at an early evening hour. The steamer will reach New York at a seasonable hour in the morning, and the approach to the great metropolis affords a magnificent pano- ramic view of the city, the bay, the two rivers that pour their floods into the sea, and the neighboring great towns. There will be a ferry transfer from the New York side to the station of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, in Jersey City, from whence we shall depart at 8.57 A. M. by said line. Our route lies across a populous section of New Jersey. Elizabeth, Plainfield, Bound Brook, Somerville, Raritan, and Phillips- burg are the leading towns passed through in that State. Crossing the Delaware River between Phillipsburg and Easton, we enter Pennsylvania and continue along the banks of the Lehigh River. Bethlehem, Allentown, and Catasauqua are the chief places along this part of the line. The scenery in the Lehigh Valley is very- pretty, and as the mountains are approached it assumes positive grandeur. The river and the two railway lines are at many points crowded into a narrow pass, while densely wooded steeps rise on either side. Meanwhile we pass through a region given over largely to iron manufacturers, another where the quarrying of slate is a prominent industry, and into the great anthracite coal section of the Keystone State.

Mauch Chunk, which is situated in the very heart of the mountains, will be reached shortly after noon, and we alight in front of the Mansion House, which will be made our headquarters until the ensuing morning. The view, either from the bottom of the valley or from any of the neighboring heights, is very picturesque. It was here that the anthracite coal interest had its birth, toward the close of the last century. Wednesday afternoon will be devoted to a novel excursion on the Mauch Chunk & 103 Summit Hill Railroad, popularly known as the " Switchback." The cars descend the plains by gravity, and are hauled up by stationary steam engines. The views from Mount Pisgah, Mount Jefferson, and Summit Hill are very fine, and the descent from

the latter by gravity is a very exciting experience. Thursday morning we continue our journey westward over the Central Railroad of

New Jersey, ascending the valley of the Lehigh still farther and crossing the mountains into the historic vale of Wyoming, which lies many hundreds of feet below. We shall reach the pretty city of Scranton at 12.50 P. M., and dinner will be provided at the station dining-rooms. From this point our train will continue over the Dela- ware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad through Binghamton, Owego, Waverly, Elmira, and some lesser towns to Corning. This route takes us through a charming section of country lying chiefly along the borders of Pennsylvania and New York. At Corning we connect with the Fall Brook route, and turning northward journey twenty-one miles farther to Watkins Glen. Just before reaching the station at that place the cars pass over the famous glen on a high bridge.

The popular Glen Mountain House, which is situated in proximity to the wonderful gorge, will be our sojourning-place here from Thursday evening until Saturday morning, and there will therefore be ample time to inspect the many interesting sights of the region, the nearness of the hotel to the great chasm rendering this an easy task. The deep and rugged ravine abounds in picturesque features, among which are numerous cascades and romantic gorges. A ramble through the glen is attended by a constant succession of surprises. Leaving the Glen Mountain House Saturday morning, the passengers will be transferred to the Watkins station of the Fall Brook route, and proceed therefrom over said line to Lyons, and thence over the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad to Niagara Falls. The early part of the railway ride lies 104 along the picturesque shores of Seneca Lake, which are followed from Watkins to Geneva, a distance of thirty-six miles. Niagara Falls will be reached at 1.20 P. M., and here Sunday will be passed, the parties making their headquarters at the popular International Hotel, which is situated near the falls and other objects of attraction. There will be a carriage ride Saturday afternoon, with visits to Prospect Park, Goat Island, the Suspension Bridge, the Canada side, Table Rock, the Whirlpool Rapids, etc. In this connection a few general facts in relation to the great cataract will be interesting. The Horseshoe, or Canadian Fall, is 3,000 feet wide and 165 feet high. The American Falls extend Soo feet, and are 160 feet high. Over these precipices pour 58,000 barrels of water per second, 3,480,000 per minute, or 208,800,000 per hour. A rise in the height of water above the Falls of one foot will, by actual measurement, raise the level of the river below seventeen and a half feet. Between the Falls and the Whirlpool the depth varies from 75 to 200 feet. At the Whirlpool Rapids it is estimated at 250 feet, and in the Whirlpool at 400 feet. This is the depth of water alone. There is probably as great a depth of debris lying below the water and above the original bottom of the gorge. In its course the river falls about 336 feet, as follows: From Lake Erie to the Rapids above the Falls, 15 feet; in the Rapids, from 51 to 56 feet; at the Falls, 160 to 165 feet; from the Falls to Lewiston, 98 feet; from Lewiston to Lake Ontario, 7 feet. There is ample evidence that the cataract has receded from Lewiston to its present place, and that it is slowly making its way up the stream. Various estimates place the time of the retrogression thus far made at from 35,000 to 72,000 years. The whole length of the Niagara is twenty-two miles. The four great lake reservoirs above Niagara have the following areas, elevations, and depths: Lake Superior — area, 31,350 square miles; elevation above the sea level, 601 feet; depth, 1,008 feet. 105 Lake Michigan — area, 22,450 square miles; elevation, 581 feet; depth, 870 feet. Lake Huron — area, 23,825 square miles; elevation, 581 feet; depth, 702 feet. Lake

Erie — area, 9,995 square miles ; elevation, 573 feet ; depth, 210 feet. Lake Ontario (below the Falls) has an area of over 6,000 square miles, an elevation of 247 feet, and a depth of 606 feet.

The name " Niagara " is of Indian origin, and is said to signify in the Iroquois tongue " The Thunderer of the Waters." Goat Island was in ancient times a burial-place of the Indians. Indications of this fact have been discovered on the island. There are said to be over 400 different species of plants and trees now growing on the island. The Niagara Falls reservation, which includes Goat Island, Prospect Park, and the grounds bordering the Rapids above the Falls, was thrown open by the State of New

York July 15, 1885. The Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park, on the Canadian side, was opened by the Province of Ontario May 24, 1888. A company is now engaged in running a tunnel from the river above the upper rapids \o the lower river (below the upper suspension bridge) to furnish water power for manufacturing purposes. This tunnel will be located directly beneath the village. About 120,000 horse-power will thus be developed. Monday morning there will be an omnibus transfer from the hotel to the New York Central station, and the parties will leave via the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad in drawing-room cars. Dinner will be provided at Richland, and from Clay- ton we have a delightful trip by steamer down the St. Lawrence River and among its many islands to Alexandria Bay. Here the Thousand Islands House will be our abiding-place from Monday evening until Wednesday morning. The hotel is delightfully situated near the shore, with a charming outlook upon the bay and its most romantic islands. 106 Wednesday will be devoted to the delightful trip down the St. Lawrence River by steamer. This voyage is made on one of the "boats of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company, and will take the tourist through the remaining part of the romantic island region and over all the famous rapids. The rapids have a total fall of

221.6 feet before Montreal is reached, the principal ones being the Long Sault, the Coteau, the Cedars, the Split Rock, and the Lachine, the latter being just above Mont- real. The first rapids of the series, the Galop, are encountered five miles below Pres- cott. Next comes the Long Sault, one of the finest of all, having a continuous run of nine miles. The steamer is here carried along at the rate of about twenty miles an hour, wholly by the course of the strong current, the steam being shut off. The Coteau Rapids are below, and the others follow in the order already named. The Lachine

Rapids are the most formidable of all and the most difficult to navigate. The surging billows are flanked by rocks, which rise on each side of the swift current. Trained Indian pilots here take the helm, and the passengers are almost breathless, while the steamer glides from out the tempestuous waters into the smooth river again. Just before reaching the Coteau Rapids the steamer approaches the fine new bridge erected by the Canada Atlantic Railway, which crosses to Valleyfield, and connects with the system of American railways to Boston and New York. This bridge is a mile and three-quarters long and consists of seventeen fixed spans. Over the main channel of the river there is a swing bridge covering 353 feet. The next bridge crosses the river a short distance below the Indian village of Caughnawaga, and belongs to the Cana- dian Pacific Railway. This structure resembles the great International Bridge across the Niagara River, and is a model of modern engineering skill. After gliding swiftly beneath this great work, the steamer comes to the third and last of the great bridge structures, the Victoria Bridge, two miles long, which is used by the Grand Trunk 107 Railway. After passing beneath this structure the passengers soon reach Montreal. Arriving at the Canadian metropolis at 6.30 P. M., the passengers will be transferred to the handsome Windsor Hotel, on Dominion square. Here they will remain until Friday morning. Thursday will be devoted to the sights of Montreal, and a carriage ride will be, in this connection, the only programme feature. The principal churches, the park on the summit of Mount Royal, and the Grey Nunnery will be visited, and the excursion will afford views of all the most interesting sections of the city. Friday morning the party will take the cars at the Canadian Pacific Railway station, and proceed to Newport, Vt., arriving there shortly before one o'clock. After dinner at the well-known Memphremagog House, there will be a steamboat excursion over the most romantic and picturesque sections of the lake, the boat going as far as Georgeville, Can. Saturday morning the party will leave Newport for Boston, journeying over the Boston & Maine Railroad system and the Concord &• Montreal Railroad. Dinner will be provided at the Pemigewasset House, Plymouth, N. H., and the train will reach Boston at 4.45 p. m.

Three of our tours, which have been arranged in connection with the Lehig

Valley trip, already described, will bring into combination the salient features oi several of our other excursions. In a grand round of travel, occupying twenty-three days, a dozen of the great pleasure resorts and the most picturesque tourist routes in Pennsylvania, New York, Canada and New England, are included.

The several parties will leave Boston by the Fall River line Tuesday, July 12,

Tuesday, August 9, and Tuesday, September 6, and reaching New York the sue ceeding morning, will continue their journey to Mauch Chunk over the Central Rail- road of New Jersey. A day's sojourn at this place will give the visitors an opportunity to make the novel excursion to the coal mines at Summit Hill by the li Switch- back" Railway. The journey will be resumed Thursday, the route being over the Central New Jersey, the Delaware & Lackawanna, and the Fall Brook roads, and the next halting place will be Watkins Glen. The popular Glen Mountain House Will be made the stopping place at that point. Saturday forenoon will be occupied in the journey from Watkins Glen to Niagara Falls, where the parties will remain over Sunday. There will be a carriage ride to the principal points of interest Saturday afternoon. Monday morning the parties will take drawing-room cars on the Rome & Watertown Railroad (a part of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad system), and go through to Clayton, from which point the trip will be extended by steamer down through the picturesque Thousand Islands region to Alexandria Bay. The Thousand Islands House will be the sojourning place until Wednesday morning, when the travelers will depart on one of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company's steamers for the glorious river trip to Montreal. The day's journey takes one over all the rapids of the St. Lawrence. Montreal will be reached in the early evening, and the palatial Windsor Hotel will be the headquarters of the visitors until Thursday evening. A carriage ride to the sightly mountain park and to other interesting points will be a feature of the stay in the Canadian metropolis. Going on board a Quebec steamer Thursday evening, the parties will make a night voyage to Quebec, and on reaching that city Friday morning, will take passage in a second boat for the Saguenay trip. This voyage occupies forty-eight hours, and the scenery is magnificent, both upon the St. Lawrence and Saguenay Rivers. The "3 schedule is so timed that everything is passed in daylight, either going or returning. The steamer will reach Quebec on its return early Sunday morning, and the day and succeeding night will be passed at the St. Louis Hotel and the Russell House. Leaving Quebec Monday morning, we shall make a journey over the Quebec & Lake St. John Railway through the northern wilderness to Lake St. John. As this place has not been described in connection with any of the preceding excursions, it is worth more than a passing notice here. The railway, upon reaching the suburbs of Quebec, crosses the beautiful St. Charles Valley, and cliinbs the hills beyond towards the Indian village of Lorette, affording a series of magnificent retrospective views, the quaint, walled city, with its tinned spires and domes, forming the central feature, with the spreading valley, dotted with villages and thrifty French farms, in the foreground. The hills are then surmounted, and Quebec is lost to view. The stations are now for the most part lonely, but in several instances a village may be found near at hand, or the stopping-place may be near some charming retreat for the fisherman, like Lake St. Joseph and Lake Sergent. The whole region abounds in lakes. At Valcartier the sound of a waterfall on a little stream near by is heard. St. Raymond, thirty-six miles from Quebec, is a pretty little town with a prominent church and a surrounding of hills. The village is situated upon the River Ste. Anne. Beyond here the settlements are few and far between, and consist almost entirely of the primitive log huts of the lumbermen and the railway builders. At Riviere-a-Pierre we plunge into the wilderness in earnest. Not far beyond — near the station of Laurentides — we come to the Batiscan River, which flows through the mountains in an impetuous tide. The valley through which we course for a score of miles has high walls, and for nearly the whole distance narrows to a canon, in which the road is compelled to follow the devious turns of the stream, which swirls and eddies at the base of great cliffs almost the H4 counterparts of those seen on the Saguenay, while the wooded mountain tops tower 1,000 feet above. With each turn of the road new vistas of these grand solitudes are opened. The railway crosses the river three times before getting away from it ; and the next feature is Lake Edward, another promising haunt of the sportsman, situated 113 miles from Quebec. These waters, and Lake Kiskisink, twenty-two miles beyond, have been leased by the railway company, from whose officers fishing permits may be obtained by any patrons of the line. Lake Edward is a beautiful sheet of water, formerly known as Lac des Grandes Isles, on account of the large islands it contains. More lakes are scattered through the forests, and we cross many little streams which have probably never seen an angler. A little distance north of Lake Edward we have climbed to the height of 1,567 feet above the sea-level, and, leaving the water-shed of the Batiscan behind us, descend to that of the St. Maurice. Later we cross to the water system of the Metabetchouan, one of the tributaries of Lake St. John, which flows nearly northward. We approach this river the nearest at Cedar Lake, about fifteen miles distant. The descent of the railway from the hills south of Chambord affords a series of magnificent prospects. For a time the train is perched upon the mountain-side, high above a precipitous ravine, and it then approaches the verge, which commands, in a grand, sweeping view, a vast extent of the lake basin, with a large part of the lake itself. There is a complete change in the scenery as the lower level is reached. In place of the rough, forest-clad region we have been journeying through for the last

hundred miles and more, there is an undulating surface reaching back from the lake in pleasant stretches of cleared land, with little villages and numerous farms. Chambord Junction is where the projected branch to Chicoutimi is to leave the main line, 177 miles from Quebec. Our destination is Roberval, fourteen miles beyond, and we

Ir 5 journey thitherward along the pleasant shores of the lake, now near its clear beaches, and again upon some sightly bluff from which we can gaze down into its translucent depths. Half way between Chambord Junction and Roberval we cross, near its outlet, the River Ouiatchouan. A mile away, but in plain sight, are the beautiful Falls of the Ouiatchouan, 280 feet in height. The main falls are divided into three sheets, which spread in graceful forms, and there is an additional forty-two feet in rapids, making the total descent 322 feet. The river approaches the lake between two hills, and the base of the falls is hidden in clouds of spray. The name of the river signifies, in the Indian tongue, " the place where fish abound." The Ouiatchouanische, or Little Ouiatchouan, descends through the village of Roberval, discharging into the lake near the steamboat wharf. We reach the Roberval station in the early evening, and near at hand is the new Hotel Roberval, which will be made our sojourning-place through Tuesday and Wednesday. It is one of the most flourishing parishes in the Lake St. John country, a territory which is supposed to extend from Chicoutimi to the northern boundary of the Province of Quebec, a distance of 220 miles, and from the sources of the waters flowing into the lake from the east to the River St. Maurice on the west, 200 miles, and embracing the upper valley of the Batiscan. The whole forms an area of 44,000 square miles, which is practically unexplored, except in spots. The region is fast being colonized, and in addition to Roberval there are a dozen or more villages near the lake shores or upon one or two of its tributaries. This place derives its name from the first governor-general of Canada, Jean Francois de la Roque, Sieur de Roberval, who passed a winter in the country as early as 1542-43, only eight years after Jacques Cartier landed at Gaspe, and sixty-six years before the founding of Quebec. He is supposed to have sailed up the Saguenay in 1543, and to have* been lost. A few years 116 Lgo a missionary discovered, upon one of the rivers tributary to Lake St. John, an indent French fort with two cannon and several broken tombstones dating from the :arly part of the sixteenth century. It is surmised that these may denote the last esting.place of the Sieur Roberval. It was not until 1647 tnat Lake St. John was liscovered by Father Duquen, the missionary at Tadousac. From the Hotel Roberval a grand view is had of the village and of the broad lake. L)n the opposite side of the lake, and perhaps seventy miles distant, are the blue out- ines of a group of mountain peaks. Looking across the lower part of the lake in the

ifternoon, the spire of the church at Gran Mont, fifteen miles away, is seen glistening n the sunlight. Four miles distant at the left, but hidden from view, is Pointe Bleu, a Hudson's Bay Company's post and a summer village of the Montaignais Indians. There ire sixty-eight families — about 200 persons — who come here in June and July, and emain until September. The rest of the year they spend in the far northern wilder-

less, trapping and hunting. They distribute themselves along the streams, where the ur-bearing animals are found in great numbers. The skins of the marten, otter, nink, muskrat, bear, and occasionally the black fox, together with deer sinews, form vith them the commodities of trade. These Indians constitute the remnant of one of he ancient northern races. They are dark-hued, not copper-colored, and differ in nany ways from the Hurons, Micmacs, and other tribes of Canadian Indians. As they ire the only persons having anything like an intimate knowledge of the northern vilderness, their services as guides are likely to be much sought after when the sport- ng resources of the region are better understood and appreciated. On Tuesday we shall make a steamboat trip upon the lake, visiting distant points md some of the rivers which enter the lake. This will be a novel excursion, and one hat cannot be paralleled in any other part of the eastern section of the continent 117 The seclusion and lonely grandeur of the Saguenay are here heightened and intensi- fied. There are ten rivers of considerable size pouring their waters into the lake, the list being as follows, beginning at Grand Decharge, which is at the southeastern extremity, and going westward: La Belle Riviere; Metabetchouan ; Ouiatchouan, near

the mouth of which are the falls; Ouiatchouanische; Ashauapmouchouan ; Tikouabe ;

Riviere au Foin ; Mistassinni ; Peribonca ; Little Peribonca. The settlements are chiefly on the south and west shores of the lake, and to a small extent in the lower valleys of the Ashauapmouchouan and the Tikouabe. The Mistassinni is an important river, 300 or 400 miles in length, and navigable for a considerable distance. It was for a long time supposed to form the discharge of Lake Mistassinni, but it is now established that the waters of the latter find their way to Hudson's Bay, while this stream only drains the Little Mistassinni country. Lake St. John abounds in fish, one kind of which, the ouinaniche, or " winninish " of the Indians, a sort of land-locked salmon, has become famous. It is an especially gamy fish, and is considered a great delicacy. Leaving Roberval Thursday morning, we retrace our way to Quebec, arriving there in the afternoon, and proceeding to the St. Louis Hotel and the Russell House, where we remain until the following afternoon. Friday morning there will be a carriage ride, in the course of which many interesting places both within and without the city will be visited. The Citadel, the Plains of Abraham, and the beautiful Falls of Mont- morenci will be among the points to be seen. Leaving the Quebec Central line Friday afternoon, we shall proceed via Quebec by \ Sherbrooke to Newport, Vt., where the delightfully situated Memphremagog House will be made our abiding place until the following day. The White Mountains form our next objective point. Proceeding first to the famous 118 Profile House, we remain over Sunday, a carriage excursion through the Franconia Notch to the Flume and Pool being arranged for Monday morning. Monday afternoon

the parties will go to the top of Mount Washington by rail, remaining over night at the Summit House, 6,291 feet above the sea. Descending from the mountain by railway Tuesday morning, there will be a short journey to the Crawford House, which will be our stopping place until Wednesday. Tuesday afternoon there will be a carriage excursion to the summit of Mount Willard, which affords such a magnificent view of the Notch. Wednesday will be devoted to the homeward journey from the Crawford House down through the Notch to North Conway, and thence through to Boston, the train reaching the Eastern Division station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, Causeway street, at 3.3a P.

There is no more inviting region for the summer tourist than Canada's Maritime Provinces. Thrust out into the Atlantic Ocean and the far-spreading St. Lawrence Gulf, they possess a climate that is cool and salubrious when other parts of the continent are bathed in sweltering heat. With scenery of the most picturesque character, there are cities and towns that carry the traveler back to the earliest events of Ameri- can history — to the times when the welfare of those distant settlements was inter- woven with our own, and even to the days anterior to the landing of the Pilgrims on 125 Plymouth Rock. The early history of Acadia is filled with romance, and the fierce conflicts of arms which echoed through these now peaceful shades have furnished the poet and the novelist with thrilling episodes. While the people of the region are united with our own by commercial ties more closely than those of other sections of the Dominion, it is but fair to say that no part of Canada is less known to the average American tourist. The lack of adequate accommodations for the traveler has in the past been a serious obstacle, for the American tourist has been taught to depend upon the swift-flying railway car as a means of locomotion, and upon palatial hotels for his resting-places. The liberality of the Dominion government and the enterprise of private corporations have provided the one to a commendable extent; but the hotels, even in the chief cities, are small, though generally comfortable. In this, our fourth season of excursions to the Maritime Provinces, we are compelled to limit the membership considerably below the customary figures. In two cities we must divide even a small party between the two leading hotels. Ample arrangements have been made, however, to insure the comfort of all. There will be two tours, one in July and the other in September. The journey to and from the Provinces will be made in palace sleeping or drawing-room cars. The route leads across the great State of Maine and through its most interesting sections, a halt being made on the shores of the romantic Moosehead Lake. The grand round of travel through the three Provinces involves five different steamer trips and a number of journeys from place to place by railway. These latter are short, and will be made invariably by day, so that sleeping-cars are not required. The whole trip from Boston back to Boston covers about 2,000 miles of travel. As this is distributed through three weeks, it will be seen that the tour is to be made in a leisurely manner. 126 Eastward Through Maine.

The parties will leave Boston from the station of the Western Division of the Boston

& Maine Railroad, Haymarket square, Wednesday, July 13, and Wednesday, Septem- ber 7. The forenoon will be occupied in the pleasant journey along the Massachu- setts, New Hampshire, and Maine coasts to Portland. The route leads through Lynn, Salem, Ipswich, Newburyport, Portsmouth, Biddeford, and Saco. Dinner will 3e provided at the Union station dining-rooms in Portland, and we continue our ourney over the Maine Central Railroad eastward. Our route lies through Bruns- wick, Bowdoinham, Gardiner, Hallowell, Augusta (the capital of the State), Vassalboro', Winslow, Waterville, Burnham, and Pittsfield to Newport Junction, vhere we diverge from the main line and pass over a branch through Dexter to Dover md Foxcroft. Brunswick, the seat of Bowdoin College, an institution of learning vhich dates back to 1794, and bears upon its roll of graduates such names as Long- ellow, Hawthorne, and John A. Andrew, is situated beside the Androscoggin River, wenty-nine miles from Portland. For a considerable distance on the main line the rain follows the charming shores of the Kennebec River, along which are scattered ome of the prettiest and most populous towns of the Pine-tree State. At Augusta, he Capitol, a massive granite structure, is seen upon the left; and upon the right, cross the river, are the Insane Hospital and the United States Arsenal. On leaving

Augusta the train crosses the Kennebec on an iron bridge, from which a fine view is tad. At the junction of the Sebasticook and Kennebec Rivers, near Winslow, stands -Id Fort Halifax, one of the ancient defences of the valley, in the form of a block :ouse. Waterville is the seat of Colby University. From Dover our train is transferred to the tracks of the Bangor & Piscataquis Rail- oad, and, continuing over the latter line without delay, we soon reach Greenville, where 127 we take a steamer for the Mount Kineo House. We shall arrive at the latter place in the evening. Moosehead Lake. Maine's most picturesque sheet of water has long been a resort of the sportsman, and a famous hotel is delightfully situated upon its shores beneath the shadows of Mount Kineo, which rises 763 feet above the lake, or, 1,758 feet above the level of the sea. The lake is thirty-six miles long, from a mile to fourteen miles in width, and so

irregular in form that its shore line extends fully 300 miles. It is the unfailing reservoir of the picturesque Kennebec River, and is fed by numerous little streams, several of which flow from other lakes or small ponds. The shores are generally wooded with birch and poplar, fir and spruce, and present every form of graceful contour in; countless bays and peninsulas. The parties will spend Thursday and Friday at this delightful retreat, taking its departure Friday evening. There will be an excursion by steamer upon the lake Thursday forenoon.

From Moosehead Lake to St. Andrew's. Going by steamer, Friday evening, from the Mount Kineo House to Greenville, the parties will at that point reach the Canadian Pacific Railway, where special sleeping- cars will be in waiting. As the train leaves Greenville at an early morning hour (5.50), the passengers will sleep on the cars. The Canadian Pacific line extends through Eastern Maine to the important cities cf the Maritime Provinces. This region was, to a large extent, a wilderness previous to the advent of the railway, and it still remains the paradise of the fisherman the hunter. scenery, especially near Lake and The s

and Brownville is romantic. Mattawamkeag the Penobscot Onawa Junction, very At t River is crossed. With a length of 300 miles, wholly within the " Pine-tree State," I 128 :he Penobscot drains an area of 8,200 square miles. No less than 467 lakes belong

:o its broad and comprehensive system. Its floods, it is claimed, bear more lumber Tom the great northern forests of Maine than is floated on any other single river in :he whole world. Kingman and other towns are famed for their tanneries. Danforth, Eaton, Forest, and Lambert Lakes are gateways to the fishing and hunting region ying aronnd the Schoodic lakes, which form the headwaters of the St. Croix River. From mills situated in these places a great part of the prepared material from which )range and lemon boxes are manufactured is shipped to Florida and Sicily. Vance- )oro contains a Custom House, a group of railway buildings, and also a large tannery, 'mmediately after leaving the station we cross the St. Croix River, which forms the nternational boundary line. St. Andrew's and the New and Elegant Algonquin Hotel.

At McAdam Junction we turn southward on a branch line of railway, in order to

r isit St. Andrew's, N. B., forty-two and a half miles from that point. The road

hither is through a wooded and sparsely settled region, but before St. Andrew's is eached the scenery assumes a very picturesque character. Several forest-bordered akes are seen, the largest of which is Chamcook. Upon the opposite side of the ake rises Chamcook Mountain, a graceful wooded elevation nearly 600 feet high, vhich forms a prominent feature in the landward outlook from St. Andrew's, being

>nly five or six miles distant. St. Andrew's is found to occupy a narrow point of land vhich juts out into fair Pasamaquoddy Bay. On one side flows the St. Croix River, lere two miles wide, with the Maine shore on its farther side; while in front are everal large islands. Navy and Minister's Islands are near the shores of St. Andrew's, he former on the west side and the latter on the east side of the town. It is claimed hat over seventy-five miles of shore line can be plainly seen from the verandas of the new and elegant hotel, The Algonquin, which has recently been erected upon the highest land in the town, and which is to be our abiding-place until Tuesday. St. Andrew's has about 1,800 inhabitants, and was handsomely laid out with wide and regular streets a century ago. The rise of St. Stephen robbed St Andrew's of much of its early commercial importance, but it still remains one of the most charming health resorts on the Atlantic Coast. Art has now supplemented nature in the provisions made for the comfort and pleasure of the visitor, The Algonquin being a model hotel, with all modern improvements. The outlook from its pleasant verandas is superb, a charming and far-reaching view being presented on every side. There is sea-bathing at the shore, and hot and cold sea-water baths within the house. The landlord of the establishment is Mr. Albert Miller. The land syndicate, to whose enterprise the pub- ' lie is indebted for The Algonquin, has already done much to adorn the town, in and

near which it has extensive and valuable possessions. The point of land by the water- side, beyond the town, has been converted into a charming little park. Fredericton, the Capital of New Brunswick.

On leaving St. Andrew's we shall retrace our way to McAdam Junction, and from thence proceed eastward over the main line of the New Brunswick Railway as far as Fredericton Junction, thirty-nine miles, and from that point northward over the Fred- ericton Branch, twenty-two miles, to the capital of the Province of New Brunswick. Fredericton is beautifully situated upon the right bank of the St. John River, eighty- six miles above the city of St. John. It has between 6,000 and 7,000 inhabitants, and

derives its importance almost solely from the fact that it is the seat of government, having few manufacturing interests. The streets are wide and regular, and the main thoroughfare, Queen street, runs parallel with the river. At the east extremity are the Parliament Building and Library, and also the handsome Christ Church Cathedral, 130 which stands amid a grove of fine old trees. The Parliament Building is a handsome freestone structure, containing the halls of the two legislative bodies and the Supreme Court room. The Provincial library has 15,000 volumes, including Louis Philippe's copy of Audubon's "Birds." Government House, the residence of the lieutenant- governor of the Province, is at the opposite extremity of Queen street; and among the other public buildings are the City Hall, Post Office, Normal School, and the University of New Brunswick. On the opposite side of the river from Fredericton, and reached by the Northern & Western Railway, which has a fine bridge across the St. John, is the manufacturing village of Marysville, the seat of Mr. Alexander Gib- son's lumber mills, cotton mills, and other extensive enterprises. Over i,2co men are there employed, and Mr. Gibson has built, in addition to his large factory buildings, a church and more than 100 dwellings. During its stay in Fredericton the party will make its headquarters at the Queen Hotel and the Barker House, both of which are on Queen street- Down the St. John River.

Wednesday morning we shall leave Fredericton on one of the steamers belonging to the Union Company, and descend the river to St. John. This trip is very delightful, and will occupy about seven hours. The St. John is the chief river of the Maritime Provinces, and is over 450 miles in length. It takes its rise in the great northern forests of Maine, and at one point forms the boundary between the United States and

Canada. The French under De Monts and Champlain explored it to some extent in

1604; and from the fact that their fleet left the bay on St. John's Day, it derived its present name. After leaving Fredericton the boat makes landings at several small towns, at one of which (Maugerville) the first English settlement on the river was founded in 1763. Several islands are passed, and the mouth of the Jemseg River is

J 3 X seen on the right. At the mouth of the Jemseg, which is the outlet of Grand Lake, the French built fortifications in 1640. Below here at Gagetown, the shiretown of Queen's county, are several pretty islands, one of which, Long Island, extends five miles. The Long Reach is a broad and straight expanse of the river sixteen miles long. Below this a rocky ridge, the Nerepis Hills, is seen on both sides of the river, and also the mouth of the Nerepis River. Kennebecasis Bay, a beautiful body of water over twenty miles long and from one to four miles wide, opens in the northeast. We now enter the confines of Grand Bay, and before landing at Indiantown, a suburb of St. John, gain a magnificent view of the deep gorge through which the river flows before entering St. John harbor, and which is spanned by the graceful suspension bridge and the railway cantilever bridge of steel. Just above these bridges are the falls. The river is here only 450 feet wide, with limestone walls 100 feet high. Through this gorge the powerful tides from the Bay of Fundy rush with impetuosity.

The falls exist at low tide ; and at a certain stage of the flood tide, and generally for a few minutes only, can vessels or rafts pass this point. We shall have later opportunities to view the gorge, both from the suspension bridge and from the cantilever railway bridge. There will be a carriage transfer from the landing at Indiantown to the Hotel Dufferin, corner of King square and Charlotte street, and the Royal Hotel, on King street. Both hotels are centrally situated in the business district of the city.

St. John, N. B.

The situation of St. John upon the Bay of Fundy and at the mouth of the St. John

River gives it great commercial importance, and it has not inaptly been termed the

" Liverpool of Canada." Its population is about 30,000 exclusive of Portland, which has about 20,000 more, and which belongs geographically to St. John. The consol- 132 idation of the two cities is likely soon to take place, Carleton, upon the opposite side of the river from St. John, having already been annexed to the latter city. The main part of the city is built upon a rocky ridge which rises quite abruptly from

the water ; and the streets, which are laid out regularly, were in many instances con- structed at great cost. The business section presents a modern appearance, for the

reason that it has risen since the great conflagration of June 20, 1877, which swept Dver 200 acres, destroying more than 1,600 houses, and property to the amount of between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000. The site of St. John was the Menagavves of indent Micmac tradition, where the divine Glooscap, who exercised control over all inimals, dwelt. It was discovered by Champlain and De Monts on St. John's Day June 24), 1604, but was not occupied for thirty years after. The early history of New Brunswick is full of romantic interest; and Mr. Sweetser, the scholarly editor of Ticknor's Maritime Provinces, has given its main features in such a succinct form that ve cannot do better than copy a page from that work, which, by the way, should be

n the hands of every visitor to this region, since it forms the only guide-book of the [Provinces worthy the name. " The present domain of New Brunswick was formerly occupied by two distinct lations of Indians. Th£ Micmacs were an offshoot of the Algonquin race, and inhab- ted all the sea-shore regions. They were powerful and hardy, and made daring boat- nen and fishermen. The Milicetes were from the Huron nation, and inhabited the

St. John Valley and the inland forests, being skillful in hunting and all manner of voodcraft. They were less numerous and warlike than the Micmacs. Both tribes had

1 simple and beautiful theology, to which was attached a multitude of quaint mytho- ogical legends. "This region was included in the ancient domain of Acadie (or Acadia), which was granted to the Sieur de Monts by King Henry IV. of France in 1603. De Monts explored the St. John River, and planted an ephemeral colony on the St. Croix in 1604. From 1635 until 1645 tne St. John River was the scene of the feudal wars between La Tour and Charnisay. Oliver Cromwell sent an expedition in 1654, which occupied the country, but it was restored to France by Charles II. in 1670. After the war, 1689-97, this region was again confirmed to France, and its west boundary was located at the St. George River, west of Penobscot Bay. Meantime the shores of the Bay of Chaleur and the Gulf of St. Lawrence had been settled by the French between 1639 and 1672. The New Englanders invaded the Province in 1703, and in 17 13 Acadia was ceded to England. " The French limited the cession to Nova Scotia, and fortified the line of the Missi- guash River, to protect the domains to the north. In 1755 a naval expedition from

Boston took these forts, and also the post at St. John ; and in 1758 the whole Province was occupied by Anglo-American troops. In 1763 it was surrendered to England by the treaty of Versailles. " The Americans made several attacks on Northern Acadia during the Revolutionary War, but were prevented from holding the country by the British fleets at Halifax. At the close of the war many thousands of American Loyalists retired from the United States to this and the adjoining countries. In 1784 New Brunswick was organ- ized as a Province, having previously been dependent on Nova Scotia; and in 1788 the capital was established at Fredericton. Immigration from Great Britain now commenced, and the forests began to give way before the lumbermen. In 1839 the Prov- ince called out its militia on the occasion of the boundary disputes with Maine ; and in 1861 it was occupied with British troops on account of the possibility of a war with the United States about the Trent affair. In 1865 New Brunswick refused, by a 134 —

popular vote, to enter the Dominion of Canada; but it accepted the plan the next year, and became a part of the Dominion in 1867." The fort erected here by Charles^de St. Estienne, Lord of La Tour, and which was thrice attacked by D'Aulnay and twice heroically defended by the little garrison under the leadership of Madame La Tour, stood on the Carleton side of the river, near Navy Island. When the fort was for the last time captured by D'Aulnay through the treachery of a Swiss sentry, the garrison was massacred, in violation of the promise made Madame La Tour, who three weeks afterwards died of a broken heart. D'Aulnay afterwards died, and La Tour returned to St. John and effectually recaptured his old domain by marrying the widow. Modern St. John was founded in 1783 by the self-exiled American Loyalists. The principal shops are upon King street,— which is a very spacious thoroughfare running from the water-side up the hill to King square, and from thence across the peninsula in the adjacent parts of the square, and on Prince William street, which runs parallel with the water front. On the latter street are the Post Office, City Hall, and Custom House, all handsome buildings. The City Market House is on the east side of King lisquare, running through to Germain street. In the same vicinity, on Charlotte street,

is the building of the Young Men's Christian Association. The Court House is on King square, at the intersection of King and Sydney streets; the Mechanics' Institute

on Carleton street ; Odd Fellows' Hall, on Union and Peel streets ; Masonic Hall on Germain street, near Church street; City Hospital, between Waterloo road and City road; Orphan Asylum, corner of Carmarthen and St. James streets; Marine Hospital, on Wentworth street, between St. James and Britain streets; the Wiggins Male Orphan Institution^ on St. James street, opposite the last-mentioned building; the

1 Exhibition Building, on the Barrack Grounds, foot of Carmarthen street ; and the —& Victoria Skating Rink, on City road, near the City Hospital. Trinity Church, between Germain and Charlotte streets, near Princess street, is called the handsomest church edifice in the Maritime Provinces. The Roman Catholic Cathedral, on

Waterloo road, is also a fine building. It is the largest church in the Province, and

near it are the Bishop's Palace, an orphan asylum, and convent. The Intercolonial

Railway station, which is also used by the Canadian Pacific Railway, is in what is known as the valley between St. John and Portland. On Mount Pleasant, in Port-

land, Mr. Robert Reed has erected a costly residence, which it is proposed to enlarge into a tourists' hotel. The Owens Art Institute, open to the public every afternoon between the hours of two and six, is also on Mount Pleasant. The most interesting objects in the suburbs are the two bridges across the St. John River, and the view therefrom of the gorge, the falls (seen only at low tide), the harbor, St. John, and Carleton. A graceful suspension bridge accommodates the common travel, and a magnificent steel cantilever bridge has been built for the New Brunswick Railway (now under the control of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company). Just beyond the bridge, on the Carleton side, is the Provincial Lunatic Asylum, an extensive brick

building. On the highest hill in Carleton is a Martello tower, built long ago as a harbor defence. In the course of our visit to St. John there will be a carriage ride through the most attractive parts of the city to Mount Pleasant, in Portland, and across the suspension bridge to the leading points on the Carleton side.

The Annapolis Valley and the Land of Evangeline.

On leaving St. John the steamer goes directly across the Bay of Fundy, which is here about forty miles wide. The distance from St. John to Digby is forty-three miles. The Nova Scotia shores forming the outer guard of the Annapolis Basin — 136 :he North Mountain — are high, and the entrance from the bay is through a narrow >trait that cuts the range in twain. The hills on the right are between 400 and 500 : eet in height, and those upon the left between 600 and 700 feet. Through the narrow :hannel the tide rushes with a velocity of five knots an hour. On the opposite side )f the basin rises the South Mountain, a long wooded ridge from 300 to 500 feet high. The Annapolis Basin stretches from the entrance eastward about eighteen miles, and

s from one to five miles wide. It is a charming body of water, bordered by really ;rand features of scenery. The flourishing town of Digby, which is largely engaged n the fisheries and in shipbuilding — the home of the " Digby chickens," as the Nova 5Cotian herring are popularly called — lies at the western extremity, and the historic own of Annapolis Royal at the eastern end. As the steamer draws up to the railway vharf in Annapolis, the remains of the old fortress, which covered twenty-eight acres, ire seen upon the right. The arched entrance to the inner fort, the quaint old English )arracks, which were built after the capture of the fortress from the French, and the

vlagazine, are still preserved. De Monts entered the Annapolis Basin with his fleet

n 1604; and Annapolis Royal, or Port Royal, as it was early known, was settled soon liter. In 1613 it was destroyed by the Virginians, as was also St. Sauveur (Mount Desert). These early engagements were the beginning of the long struggle between jreat Britain and France in North America, which did not cease until 1763, when "ranee was stripped of all her American possessions. This now peaceful vale was he scene of much carnage, not only between the English and French, the former )eing largely New Englanders, but also in the fierce feudal struggles between the Yie\ir D'Aulnay Charnisay and La Tour. In the fruitful Annapolis Valley and around he Basin of Minas, which lies eastward, forming another great inlet of the Bay of 7 undy, dwelt many of the early Acadians. The Windsor & Annapolis Railway, over 137 which we journey from Annapolis to Halifax, 130 miles, lies through this region. The scenery along the valley has many rural charms, but some extravagant writers u have led the visitor to expect too much. It is the garden spot " of Nova Scotia, and its orchards teem with rich fruit. Bridgetown, Lawrencetown, Middleton, Ayles- ford, Berwick, Kentville, and Wolfville are places of considerable importance. At Berwick the road enters the Cornwallis Valley, which is shorter than the Annapolis, but much more picturesque. On leaving Wolfville we are fairly in the Land of Evangeline, which has been so ennobled by the pen of Longfellow. The next station, three miles distant, is that of

Grand Pre. On the left is a wide expanse of reclaimed meadows ; while beyond, many miles away, is Cape Blomidon. A row of willow trees is seen near the station on the left. Beneath those trees are found the faint remains of the Acadian Church, and it is claimed that the largest tree occupies the site of the shop of Basil the black- smith. The English troops, under Winslow, who drove these gentle people forth, wrought thorough destruction, and naught else remains of the ancient hamlet except the gnarled and neglected trees of the orchards and the sunken hollows which mark the cellars of the houses.

" Still stands the forest primeval ; but under the shade of its branches Dwells another race, with other customs and language. Only along the shore of the mournful and misty Atlantic Linger a few Acadian peasants, whose fathers from exile Wandered back to their native land to die in its bosom.

In the fisherman's cot the wheel and the loom are still busy;

Maidens still wear their Norman caps and their kirtles of homespun, And by the evening fire repeat Evangeline's story, While from its rocky caverns the deep-voiced neighboring ocean Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest. 9f 138 A mile beyond Grand Pre is the Gaspereaux River; and at Avonport the road caches the banks of the broad Avon River, which it follows up a dozen miles to the retty town of Windsor, where the stream is crossed on a substantial and costly bridge,

le of the finest works of its kind in the Maritime Provinces. The tides here, as rerywhere within the reach of the waters of the Bay of Funday,have an enormous ebb id flow, and the traveler who sees the noble river bank-full can hardly conceive of

te change that is wrought when the tide is out. Charles Dudley Warner was led to

ly that the Avon " would have been a charming river if there had been a drop of

ater in it. I never knew before," he adds, "how much water adds to a river."

Windsor, which is a town of several thousand inhabitants, is the seat of King's College,

le oldest institution of its kind now existing in Canada. Large quantities of gypsum

:e quarried in this neighborhood and shipped to the United States and to Canadian Drts. Beyond Newport the road passes through a wooded country dotted with lakes id hills. A few miles from Ellershouse is Ardoise Mountain, the most elevated land i Nova Scotia. Mt. Uniacke station is on the old Mt. Uniacke estate (founded over fty years ago by Richard John Uniacke, then attorney-general of Nova Scotia), here are gold mines a few miles from this station. At Windsor Junction, fourteen liles from Halifax, the train enters on the track of the Intercolonial Railway, which

follows to the terminus. This part of the route is exceedingly picturesque, the road- ay lying along the shores of Rocky Lake for a little distance, and later for nine miles eside the beautiful Bedford Basin, the curved shores of which it follows, while beau- ful vistas are opened towards Halifax and the opposite side of the bay. The train reaches the imposing station of the Intercolonial Railway at an early even- lg hour, and there will be a carriage transfer therefrom to the Halifax Hotel, on lollis street, about a mile distant. 139 Halifax, the Capital of Nova Scotia.

Halifax, the capital of the Province of Nova Scotia, occupies a beautiful site on an elevated peninsula four and a half miles long and one or two miles wide. The main arm of the sea, or Chebucto Bay, forms upon its southeast front one of the finest har- bors in America^ which, after narrowing just beyond the town, opens out again into the picturesque Bedford Basin. Back of the town is the shallower but even prettier

Northwest Arm. The city, which has a population of about 40,000, dates from 1748, and was named in honor of George Montague, Earl of Halifax, who was then at the head of the Lords of Trade. The frowning Citadel, which crowns the hill in the centre of the city, and eight squares back from the water front, was commenced by Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent (father of Queen Victoria), while commander of the British forces at this station. It is 250 feet above the water, and is a fortress of the first class, according to old-time standards. There are numerous forts and batteries scattered around the city and on the islands in the harbor, forming, with the central fortification, a formidable line of defence. As it is the headquarters of the imperial forces in British North America, the city always presents a semi-military aspect, the garrison being composed of regular troops. It is also the principal station of the North American and West Indies squadron of the Royal Navy. Along the water front are dock-yards and storehouses belonging to the imperial government, and in the neighborhood of the Citadel are extensive barracks, a military hospital, a military chapel, and other edifices connected with the army administration, while sentinels are seen on guard in many nooks and corners. The Parliament Building occupies the square between Hollis, George, Granville, and Prince streets, a short distance from the Hali- fax Hotel. It is a plain structure of gray stone, and contains, besides the halls of the House of Assembly and Legislative Council, a library and the provincial offices. 140 In the chamber of the Legislative Council are a number of portraits, including those of King George III. and Queen Charlotte, King William IV., Judge Thomas C. Hali- burton (" Sam Slick"), Sir Thomas Strange (by Benjamin West), Sir John Inglis, the lefender of Lucknow, Sir W. Fenwick Williams, the defender of Kars, King George

[I., and Queen Caroline. In the library, which occupies rather contracted quarters, s a small collection of autographs, which includes one of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Near the Parliament Building, on the opposite side of Hollis street, is the Dominion Building, containing the Post Office, Custom House, and in the third story, a museum devoted chiefly to the geology and natural history of the Province, but containing also some interesting Indian relics, several old pictures of Halifax, and a few foreign curiosi- ies. A gilt pyramid denotes Nova Scotia's gold product up to a recent date. Among he other public buildings are the new City Hall, at the north end of the Grand Parade

between Barrington and Argyle streets, the old site of Dalhousie College) ; the Court [louse, on Spring Garden road; Government House, between Hollis and Pleasant itreets, near Bishop street ; Admiralty House, on Gottingen street; Freemasons' Hall,

:orner of Salter and Granville streets ; Young Men's Christian Association Building,

:orner Granville and Prince streets ; the Exhibition Building, on Tower Hill road; ind the Victoria General Hospital and Asylum for the Poor, between Morris and South streets, beyond Tower road. Not far from the latter institutions are the new )uildings of Dalhousie College and the Convent of the Sacred Heart. There are hirty-eight churches and chapels in the city and suburbs, the finest, architecturally :onsidered, being St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral, on Spring Garden road near

Harrington street. At the corner of Brunswick and Gerrish streets is the quaint 'Little Dutch Church," erected as a Lutheran place of worship by the early German mmigrants in 1761. West of the Citadel stretches the Common, used for military 141 parades, and south the handsome Public Gardens and Camp Hill Cemetery. Oppo- site the Roman Catholic Cathedral and St. Matthew's Church is an old burial-ground, and near the Government House is a monument in the form of a triumphal arch erected in honor of Welsford and Parker, the Nova Scotian heroes of the Crimean war. Point Pleasant Park is a charming retreat at the extremity of the peninsula, between the harbor and the Northwest Arm. The park is imperial property, but is leased to the city for an indefinite number of years at a nominal rent of one shilling.

Once a year all roads leading into it are closed for twenty-four hours to maintain legal ownership and virtual possession. The same thing is done with some of the grounds near the Citadel. A carriage ride has been arranged to take in all the points of interest in and near the city, including Point Pleasant Park, the Northwest Arm, the "old Dutch Village," Bedford Basin, Citadel Hill, the gardens, cemeteries, and the finest residence and business sections. The shops are chiefly on Hollis, Granville, and Barrington streets. Eastern Nova Scotia. Leaving Halifax Tuesday morning, we shall proceed over the main line of the Inter- colonial Railway to Truro (sixty-two miles) and thence by a branch line to Port Mul- grave, on the Strait of Canso (123 miles farther), where we shall take one of the boats of the Lake Bras d'Or Steam Navigation Company for the picturesque voyage through Big and Little Bras d'Or to Sydney, which lies at the eastern extremity of Cape Breton

Island. For fourteen miles our route is the same over which we entered Halifax, lying along the elevated shores of the upper harbor and Bedford Basin, and later near Rocky Lake. At Windsor Junction the line continues eastward through a region of lakes. Near Enfield are several prosperous gold mines. Elmsdale, Shubenacadie (on the river of the same name), Stewiacke, and Brookfield are other stations on thel 142 oute. Truro, the shire-town of Colchester county, is a large and prosperous town of between 4,000 and 5,000 inhabitants, situated two miles from the head of Cobequid 3ay, an arm of the Basin of Minas. From Truro we proceed through the valley of Salmon River, and later along the East River, reaching in the latter connection the ;reat Nova Scotia coal-mining district at Stellarton and New Glasgow. The train vill stop at the latter town for dinner. Continuing beyond New Glasgow across the lead of the Antigonish peninsula, occupied chiefly by the Antigonish Mountains, we ome to the flourishing town of the same name. The Cathedral of St. Ninian and the "ollege of St. Francis Xavier are seen in the village on the left. Beyond here are the Scotch town of Pleatherton and the French town of Tracadie. At the latter is a mon- stery belonging to the order of the Trappists. There are forty or fifty monks, chiefly rom Belgium. Port Mulgrave is nineteen miles east of Tracadie. Cape Breton Island and the Bras d'Or Lakes.

The Strait of Canso, which connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf of St. Law- 3nce, is a mile wide and about fifteen miles long. The shores, both on the Nova cotia and Cape Breton Island sides, consist of high hills, and the scenery is very icturesque. Port Mulgrave and Port Hawkesbury are opposite each other, the latter eing on the Cape Breton side. Going on board the steamer at Port Mulgrave, we roceed eastward through the strait, and then pass between Isle Madame and the iiain island to St. Peter's Bay, some twenty-five miles distant. The first landing made at Grandique Ferry, on Isle Madame, and the second at St. Peter's, a cottish settlement situated at the head of St. Peter's Bay, and at the mouth of ue canal which leads into the Bras d'Or. The Bras d'Or Lakes are bodies of salt ater which divide the island of Cape Breton nearly in twain. The natural inlets re on the eastern side of the island, but it required only a cutting of about half a 143 mile to create an opening- into St. Peter's Bay at the southwestern end of Big Bras d'Or Lake. The canal is twenty-six feet wide and thirteen feet deep; and its cost, $500,000, was assumed by the Dominion government. After going through the canal the s teamer passes out into a narrow part of the lake, and gains the wider section a dozen miles or so farther on. The scenery at once becomes very picturesque. The shores are high, in places mountainous, and the bay is dotted with islands. In the south rises

Mount Granville. Near this end of the lake is a reservation of the Micmac Indians (of which there are 1,600 in Nova Scotia — the island of Cape Breton forming a part of that Province — and 1,400 in New Brunswick) ; and at Baddeck, on the Little Bras d'Or, is another. The Micmacs retain many of their ancient customs, and are of purer blood than any other tribe on the Atlantic Coast. Their numbers are increasing, and they^are considered loyal and useful subjects of their "great mother " Queen Victoria. They are devout Catholics, as are most of the Scotch residents of the island, the latter race having come chiefly from the Scottish Highlands. The lake shores are beautiful in their varied greens, and diversified with woodland stretches and richly cultivated farms. In places are sloping hills of living green, while bold, frowning cliffs are also frequently seen. In one part of .the Little Bras d'Or the boat passes in front of a long line of gypsum cliffs, which stand forth almost as prominently as the chalk cliffs of England. "The Bras d'Or is the most beautiful salt-water lake I have ever seen, and more beautiful than we had imagined a body of salt water could be," wrote Charles Dudley Warner in Baddeck^ and that Sort of Thing. At Grand Narrows, or the Strait of Barra (so called because the inhabitants of the adjacent shores came from the island of Barra, in the Hebrides), the boat passes from the Big Bras d'Or into the Little Bras d'Or. A landing is made here, and the boat then goes across to Baddeck, a picturesque little town situated on the northwest shore. 144 This place and Whycocomagh, about twenty miles distant, at the head of St. Patrick's Channel, are becoming popular places of resort. Near Baddeck (the original French name was Bedique), Professor Bell, of telephone fame, owns a commanding site which he intends to ornament with a summer residence. North of Baddeck is a mountainous and, to a considerable extent, unexplored region, abounding in moose,

caribou, bears, wolves, beaver, and other game. The open sea is reached through the long channel of the Big Bras d'Or, which extends along the west shore of Boularderie Island, and, rounding Point Aconi and Cranberry Head, the steamer enters Sydney

harbor. North Sydney is first reached, and the boat then crosses to Sydney, which

is on the opposite side of the harbor. Both places are shipping-points for coal, which is produced from the neighboring mines in great quantities. Both the Sydneys are straggling, dingy-looking towns; but the older place, Sydney, is rather prettily situated. The coal beds of Cape Breton were first described by Denys, in 1672, and were worked as early as 1677. Louisbourg, where the French erected a formidable fortress in the early part of the eighteenth century, transporting some of the stone across the Atlantic from France, is twenty-four miles south of Sydney. A narrow-gauge railway formerly

ran between the two points, but it is not now in operation. This was the scene of Colonel William Pepperell's famous exploit in 1745, when, with an army chiefly from Massachusetts, he captured the fortress, an event which was celebrated by the illumi- nation of both Boston and London as soon as the news reached those cities. We shall return from Sydney on the steamer over the same route, going over in daylight portions of the way that may have been passed before in the night. Port Mulgrave will be reached Thursday morning, and we shall travel by train thence to New Glasgow, where we shall remain over night at the Hotel Vendome and the Nor- folk House. 145 The Nova Scotia Coal Regions.

Leaving New Glasgow Friday morning* the party will proceed to Stellarton, three miles distant, and from thence over a branch line to Pictou, fourteen miles farther, where we shall take the Prince Edward Island Steam Navigation Company's steamer for Charlottetown. Pictou is a flourishing town of 3,000 or 4,000 inhabitants, pleasantly situated on the shores of a splendid harbor, and the shipping-point of* a large part of the coal mined in the vicinity. It is a county seat (of Pictou county), and contains several handsome public buildings, including the Dominion Custom House. Railways lead from the mines to both shores of the harbor.

The distance from Pictou across Northumberland Strait to Charlottetown is about fifty miles. After leaving the harbor, our course approaches Pictou Island, and then bears away northwesterly across the strait. The views of the receding highlands of

Nova Scotia are fine, and Charlottetown is seen to especial advantage on entering the harbor from Hillsborough Bay. The boat will reach its destination in the early evening. Prince Edward Island.

Prince Edward Island, which is a Province by itself, is of crescent shape, 134 miles long and thirty-four miles in breadth in its widest part, and contains 2,133 square miles. Its surface its gently undulating, with small hills in its central part, and the soil is very fertile. The population of the Province at the time of the last census was 108,891, and the majority of the people are of Scottish origin. In density of population the island ranks much higher than any other part of the Dominion. The climate is very salubrious, and the island is freer from fogs than the adjacent shores. The

Province is provided with governor and cabinet and supreme and vice-admiralty courts, 146 on the same plan as the larger provinces, and the local government is conducted by an Executive Council of nine members and a House of Assembly of thirty members. During our stay in Charlottetown, which will extend through Saturday and Sunday, we shall make our headquarters at the Hotel Davies, which is centrally located and within a short distance of all the points of interest in the city. Charlottetown has about

13,000 inhabitants. The finest structure in the city is the Provincial Building, which stands in Queen's square, at the head of Great George street.- It was built of Nova Scotia freestone, at a cost of $85,000. It contains the halls of the Council and Assem- bly, which are adorned with portraits of Prince Edward Island statesmen, and the Colonial Library. Near by are the Post Office, Custom House, Court House, and the city Market House. The Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Dunstan is in the vicinity (on Great George street), and the principal shops are around the square. Government House, an old-time mansion, is on a point of land west of the city, and the Exhibition

Building is in the same direction. The Convent of Notre Dame is on Hillsborough street, and the Prince of Wales School and the Normal School are in the same neighborhood.

Leaving Charlottetown Monday morning, July 25, we shall proceed over the Prince Edward Island Railway to Summerside, forty-nine miles distant. This is a narrow- gauge line, which, like the Intercolonial (standard gauge), is owned and operated by the Dominion government. The scenery along this section of the road is the prettiest on the island. For the most part the country is well cultivated, and there are many pleasant little villages. Summerside is a town of 3,000 or 4,000 inhabitants, and the port from whence most of the products of the west end of the island are exported. We here go on board another boat of the Prince Edward Island Steam Navigation Com- pany's line, and proceed across the upper part of Northumberland Strait to Pointe 147 du Chene, a part of Shedia*c, N. B., about thirty-five miles distant. Traveling thence by a branch of the Intercolonial Railway to Painsec Junction, we enter

upon the main line at that point. The first town of importance passed through is Moncton, a large and flourishing place of about 8,000 inhabitants, on the Peticodiac River. The tides rise at this place forty or fifty feet, a wall of water several feet high rolling in sometimes at the beginning of the flood tide. The large brick edifice seen on the right near the station contains the general offices of the Intercolonial Railway. The line here divides, one branch extending to Levis (opposite Quebec), 490 miles, and the other to St. John, eighty-nine miles. We continue over the latter line of road, passing through a country of attractive appearance, though without any striking features. The chief towns passed through are Salisbury, Peticodiac, Sussex, and Hampton. Near Rothesay, nine miles from St. John, the road approaches the beautiful Kennebecasis Bay, and for five miles skirts its pleasant shores. Afterwards crossing Lawlor's Lake on a high and costly embankment, the train enters St. John through the Marsh Valley.

From St. John Homeward.

Our visit to St. John, in this instance, will be brief, for special Pullman palace sleeping-cars will be in waiting to convey us through to Boston. Our route will be over the New Brunswick Railway (a part of the Canadian Pacific system) to Vanceboro, the Maine Central Railroad thence to Portland, and the Eastern Division of the Boston & Maine Railroad from Portland to Boston. On leaving St. John the train crosses the St. John River on the fine cantilever bridge, and then skirts the river bank for nearly a dozen miles farther. From Fredericton Junction westward, the line is the same that was traversed on the eastward tour. The train will reach Bangor, where breakfast will be in waiting, at 6.15 Tuesday morning, and the pleasant route between Bangor and Portland will be traversed during the forenoon. Dinner will be had at the Union station in Portland, and the journey thence to Boston will be over the Eastern Division of the Boston & Maine Railroad; a different route than the one over which we traveled eastward. This will take us through Saco, Biddeford, North Berwick, and Kittery, Me.; Portsmouth, N. H.; and Newburyport, Ipswich, Beverly, Salem, and Lynn, Mass. The line extends along some of the most picturesque reaches of the New England coast. The Eastern Divi- sion station (on Causeway street) in Boston will be reached at 4.25 p. M. ITINERARY.

1 Delightful Tour of Six Days, via Long Island Sound to New York, up the Hudson River to Albany and # #r SARATOGA, j Thence to Lake George, Lake Champlain and Ausable Chasm, and Homeward, via Burlington and Rutland.

Price of Tickets (all Traveling Expenses Included), . . $38.50. Price of Tickets for Children between the ages of 5 and 12 years, $26.50.

Four of our tours are made up of a short but very comprehensive round of travel, bvith Long Island Sound, the Hudson River, Saratoga, Lake George, Lake Champlain knd Ausable Chasm as its salient features. The parties will leave Boston Mondays, fuly 18, August 8 and 22, and September 12, taking a Fall River line train at the Park

square station of the Old Colony Railroad, at 5.10 P. M. At Fall River the passengers \m\\ go on board one of the magnificent steamers which ply on this route. The Approach to the metropolis through Hell Gate and the East River affords a most nteresting panorama of both that city and Brooklyn. Arriving at Pier No. 28, North River, the passengers will proceed by annex steamer :o the Vestry street pier, from w'hence the elegant steamer " New York," of the Hud- son River Day line, will leave at 8.40 A. M. The "New York " is the latest and most Important addition to the Day line fleet of boats, and is claimed to be not only the 155 handsomest but the swiftest steamer of its class afloat. The voyage up the Hudson will occupy the day, and even to those who are most familiar with the scenic charms of this noble stream, the experience is ever fresh and delightful. There are many

points of historic as well as of picturesque interest scattered along its banks. For an hour the boats sail amid the majestic Highlands. Farther north are the Catskills, whicl how a noble line of peaks from ten to twenty miles away. At Poughkeepsie we go beneath the lofty railroad bridge. From the time the boat leaves its pier to the final landing there is a constant panorama of interesting scenery, which at certain points approaches sublimity. Scores of places upon the picturesque shores are

associated with thrilling incidents in our country's early history, and there is not a dull moment in the whole voyage. The steamer will reach Albany at 6.10 P. M., and the cars of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad will convey the passengers from that city to Saratoga. Wednesday will be passed at Saratoga, the visitors making their headquarters at the popular Congress Hall. Wednesday forenoon there will be a carriage ride, with visits to Saratoga Lake, Woodlawn (Judge Hilton's beautiful park), the Geyser Spring, etc. Thursday morning the parties will go by railway to Caldwell and thence by steamer the entire length of beautiful Lake George. Another short railway transfer

takes us to the shores of Lake Champlain, across which there is a second steamboat trip. Burlington, Vt., one of the prettiest towns upon the lake shore, is our tarrying place for the night, the Van Ness House, the leading hotel of the place, being our headquarters. Friday morning will be devoted to an excursion across the lake to Port Kent and Ausable Chasm. Ample time will be had for exploring the wonderful gorge, and boats will be provided for a part of the trip. Returning to Burlington, the passengers will take a train on the Central Vermont Railroad for Rutland, Vt., where the night 156 will be passed at the Bardwell and Bates Houses. Saturday forenoon will be occupied in the journey from Rutland to Boston. ITINERARY.

THE SAGUENAY RIVER AND LAKE ST. JOHN, TOGETHER WITH

Montreal, Quebec, the Falls of Montmorenci, Lake Memphremagog, etc. A Twelve Days' Trip through the Lake and Mountain Regions of New England, and an Extended Tour through the Most Picturesque Regions of Canada.

Price of Tickets (all Traveling Expenses Included), . • $75.00.

Price of Tickets for Children between the ages of 5 and 13 years, $55.00.

One of our August trips offers a most delightful round of travel with visits to the most picturesque parts of Canada. The two chief cities of the Dominion will be visited, and there will also be a voyage up the noble Saguenay River and an excursion to Lake St. John, the great northern resort recently opened to the public. Lake Memphremagog, upon the borders of Vermont and Canada, will also be visited.

The party will leave Boston Tuesday, August 9, at 8.30 A. M., from the Southern Division, or Boston & Lowell station of the Boston & Maine system, and proceed to Montreal over the Central Vermont line. The ride takes the passenger 161 through Lowell, Nashua, Manchester, and Concord. From the latter city, the capital of the Granite State, the route lies over the Northern Railroad, and at one point Kearsarge Mountain is only a few miles distant. At White River Junction, Vt, where we enter upon the Central Vermont line, we stop for dinner. The ride northward is through an exceedingly picturesque part of the Green Mountain State. We pass near

Montpelier, the State capital, but not directly through it, and at Burlington approach the shores of Lake Champlain, across which the Adirondack Mountains, in New York, are seen. Both Burlington and St. Albans are upon the borders of the lake. From the latter point the road passes into Canada and to the flourishing town of St. John's; and from thence to the Canadian metropolis, a distance of twenty-seven miles, we pass over the line of the Grand Trunk Railway, crossing the St. Lawrence River on the great Victoria Bridge, just before reaching Montreal. On their arrival in Montreal the passengers will be transferred to the elegant Windsor Hotel, on Dominion square, where they will remain through Wednesday and Thursday. There will be a carriage ride Wednesday forenoon, with visits to the principal points of interest in the city, including the leading churches, markets, public edifices, and public squares, Mount Royal Park, and the Grey Nunnery. Leaving the hotel by omnibus transfer at 6.30 P. M., the party will proceed to the steamer of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company's line, and at 7.00 P. M. leave the dock for Quebec. The steamer will arrive at Quebec Friday morning, but our inspection of that city will be postponed until our return from the Saguenay trip. Transferring to the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company's steamer by walking from one steamer's deck to the other, the party will continue its river journey without delay. Friday will be occupied in the magnificent trip down the noble St.

Lawrence River, the grand scenery of which is a fitting prelude to the wonders of the Saguenay. The voyage up the Saguenay River and back will consume the succeeding twenty-four hours, the descent of the river being made by daylight, so that none of the grand scenery from Ha ! Ha ! Bay to Tadousac is missed. Quebec will be reached on the return at an early hour Sunday morning, and there will be an omnibus transfer from the steamer landing to the St. Louis Hotel and the Russell House. The two hotels are under the same management. Sunday will be passed in this interesting old city, and Monday morning the party will leave Quebec by the Quebec & St. John Railway for the delightful journey through the great forest region of the north to far-away Lake St. John. As this trip and the interesting lake have been described in connection with Tours

Nos. 17, 34, and 52, we shall confine ourselves in the present instance to a mere outline of the excursion. The railway journey will occupy the greater part of the day, and the pretty town of Roberval will be reached between five and six o'clock. The handsome Hotel Roberval, one of the largest summer resorts in Canada, will be our sojourning place through Tuesday and Wednesday. An extended steamboat trip upon the lake on Tuesday will be the only programme feature of the stay. The fishing and boating opportunities here available are unsurpassed. The party will return to Quebec Thursday, again stopping at the St. Louis Hotel and the Russell House, and there will be a carriage ride Friday morning with visits to the Citadel, the Plains of Abraham, the Falls of Montmorenci, and other interesting points. After lunch Friday, there will be an omnibus transfer from the hotels to the Quebec Central ferry, and the party will journey over that line to Sherbrooke and thence to Newport, Vt., the latter point being reached at 1040 P. M. Friday night will be passed at this famous lake resort, and Saturday will be devoted to the homeward journey over the Boston & Maine and the Concord & Montreal Railroads. The party will dine '63 at the PemigewasseJ: House and arrive in Boston (Southern Division station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, Causeway street) at 4.45 P. M. ITINERARY.

Among our short tours are two which have the Hudson River and Niagara Falls as their leading features. The dates of departure from Boston are Monday, August 22,

and Thursday, September 22. The itinerary is precisely the same in both cases, although the parties travel on different days of the week. Taking the Fall River line to New York, the parties will enjoy a steamboat trip upon one of the floating palaces which ply on this route between Fall River and New York. Arriving in New York the succeeding morning, the passengers will be transferred to the pier of the Hudson River Day line, from whence the splendid steamer "New York" will depart at S.40 A. M. The voyage up the Hudson River is a never-failing source of pleasure. The scenery is picturesque in the extreme, and presents a variety of features. After leaving the great city with its busy piers and long lines of shipping, and before the boat is fairly 166 off, the Palisades on the Jersey side attract attention. Then follows a series of charming views, embracing towns and pleasing reaches of green between, on both sides of the river. The Highlands close in upon the voyager as if to bar his progress, but a turn in the stream at West Point opens another vista of loveliness, and another succession of mountain forms. Later in the day the noble group of mountains known as the Catskills are seen forming a gigantic western wall to the broad and fruitful Hud- son Valley. The boat reaches Albany shortly after six o'clock, and there will be an omnibus transfer from the landing to The Kenmore, where the night will be passed.

The hotel is centrally located, and a short stroll brings one to the Capitol, Washington Park, and to other points of interest. The party will take a train on the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad the next morning, and journeying westward, first through the pretty Mohawk Val- ley, and later through the western section of the State, will pass through Schenectady, Fonda, Little Falls, Herkimer, Utica, Rome, Oneida, Canastota, Syracuse, Weedsport, Newark, Palmyra, Rochester, and Lockport, to Suspension Bridge and Niagara Falls. The train will reach Niagara Falls at 7.55 P. m., and there will be a transfer from the station to the International Hotel. Two days will be passed here, and there will be a carriage ride with visits to Pros- pect Park, Goat Island, the Canadian side, etc. There will be ample time for a leisurely inspection of all the points of interest. The parties will take their departure from the Falls by the West Shore route (Friday, August 26, and Monday, September

26), taking a train at the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad station at 5 08 P. M. The journey from that point to Boston will be made in elegant Wagner palace sleeping-cars. Supper will be furnished at the station dining-rooms in Buffalo, and breakfast at the station dining-rooms in Athol. From Rotterdam Junction eastward 167 the route is over the Fitchburg Railroad and through the Hoosac Tunnel.

Leaving Boston Thursday, September 22; and Returning Wednesday,

October 5. NEW YORK, HARKISBURG, THE BATTLE-FIELD OF GETTYSBURG, Blue Mountain House, Harper's Ferry, The Shenandoah Valley, L.uray Caverns, Grottoes of the Shenandoah, Natural Bridge of Virginia, James River Valley, Richmond, the Hygeia Hotel, Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe, WASHINGTON, D. C, etc.

A Grand Tour of Fourteen Days through some of the most Historic and Picturesque Sections of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Price of Tickets (all Traveling Expenses Included), . • $85.00, Price of Tickets for Children between the ages of 5 and 18 years, $68.00.

One of the most attractive in our long list of tours is the one arranged under the above head. The round of travel covers a fortnight, and includes some of the most interesting routes in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia. The Bat- tlefield of Gettysburg, the Blue Mountain House, Harper's Ferry, Luray Caverns, the Grottoes of the Shenandoah, the Natural Bridge, Richmond, Old Point Comfort, and Washington are the suggestive names of the chief places of sojourn. For hundreds of miles the route lies through a region rich in associations connected with our country's early history and with the late war. Scores of battle-fields, besides that of Gettysburg, are scattered along the way. 179 Leaving Boston Thursday afternoon, September 22, at 5.10, from the station of the Old Colony Railroad, Providence Division, Park square, the party will proceed to Fall River by rail, and from thence to New York by one of the splendid steamers of the

Fall River line. The evening sail down Mount Hope and Narraganset Bays is always an enjoyable feature by this route; and, when darkness approaches, the passengers can have recourse to the entertainment furnished within the gorgeous saloon in the form of an orchestral concert. The approach to New York in the morning is another pleasant experience. In no other way can so fine a view be had of the great city and its interesting surroundings. After breakfast on board the boat there will be a transfer by annex steamer to Jersey City, where a train will be taken on the Central Rail- road of New Jersey at 8.57 A. M., for the ride to Gettysburg. Our route lies across the State of New Jersey through the cities and towns of Elizabeth, Rlainfield, Bound Brook, Somerville, and Phillipsburg, and thence through a picturesque and populous part of Pennsylvania via Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown, Reading, Lebanon, and Harrisburg (the capital of the Keystone State). We lunch at Bethlehem, and at Allentown enter upon the extensive Philadelphia & Reading Railroad system, traveling thereon through to Gettysburg. Arriving at Gettysburg at a seasonable afternoon hour, the party will proceed to the Eagle Hotel. The succeeding day will be passed in an inspection of the battle-field, in companionship with the well-known guide, Mr. Luther W. Minnigh. Carriages will be furnished by the Ziegler stables to enable the visitors to make an extended round of the field. The battle of Gettysburg, one of the greatest struggles at arms of our national conflict, occurred July 1, 2, and 3, 1863. Shortly after the sanguinary defeat of the National army at Chancellorsville, Va. (May, 1863), General Lee advanced rapidly into Maryland and Pennsylvania at the head of a compact army, the flower of the southern troops. The towns in the Cumberland Valley fell in succession before the invading host, and consternation spread through the neighboring country. The army of the Potomac, which had been endeavoring to cover the cities of Washington, Balti- more, and Philadelphia, uncertain of he enemy's purposes, was drawn together to impede the progress of General Lee, and the clash of arms took place here. The ba - tie was terrific, and its evidences are still visible. The Confederates for a t^'meseert^d masters of the ground; but the fight had a victorious ending for the National troops, with a great loss in killed and wounded on both sides. The number of men engaged is variously estimated, but the best accounts give 80,000 Nationals and 70,000 Confed- erates. Some historians claim that 100,000 Nationals and 91,000 Confederates were engaged. The National loss in the three days' battle was 2,834 killed, 13,733 wounded, and 6,643 missing. The Confederate loss was 18,000 killed and wounded and 13,620 prisoners. The ride about the battle-field will afford a comprehensive view of the prominent points connected with the great events of the conflict, and the visitors will have the advantage of the companionship of an intelligent guide whose familiarity with the field and succinct and accurate explanations of the movements of the two armies serve to make the tour of Gettysburg intensely interesting. On leaving Gettysburg we proceed by the Western Maryland Railroad across the mountains to* Highfield, Pen-Mar, and the Blue Mountain House. The road ascends a steep grade to Monterey Gap, at one time describing a great *• Horseshoe Bend," and the views at many points along the route are very picturesque. Pen-Mar is a noted picnic resort in the mountains, which derives its name from the first syllables of the two States on the borders of which it lies. A mile beyond Pen-Mar, and upon the west slope of the Blue Mountain, we are at 181 our destination — the commodious and elegant Blue Mountain House. Perched upon the mountain-side, some 1,500 feet above the sea, the visitor gains a magnificent view of Cumberland Valley, with far-away glimpses of the Potomac and Shenandoah Valleys. Leaving the Blue Mountain House Monday morning, we proceed to Hagerstown over the Western Maryland Railroad, and from thence travel over the Washington County Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to Weverton, and thence over the main line of that road to Harper's Ferry. As the ruins of the Arsenal and the scene of John Brown's last exploit are near the station, they can easily be visited. A visit can also be made to Jefferson's Rock, by taking a path which leads up through the village in rear of the Catholic church. On leaving Harper's Ferry we continue eight miles farther over the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to Shenandoah Junction, and then turn southward over the Shenandoah Division of the Norfolk & Western Railroad. Along this part of our route are many historic spots. Charlestown, the county seat of Jefferson county, West Virginia, is the first place of importance reached. This town was so named in honor of Charles Washington, a younger brother of the general. Another brother, Samuel Washington, also resided near here. It was here, too, that John Brown was tried, convicted, and executed. The Court House may be seen east of the railroad. We cross the State line, from West Virginia into Virginia, just south of Ripon. The station of White Post took its name from a post still to be seen, that was planted in colonial days to indicate the road to Greenaway Court, the residence of Thomas, the sixth Lord Fairfax. At Riverton we cross the Shenandoah, ascending the valley of the South Fork from that point to Luray. It was near Riverton that the battle of Front Royal, the first engagement of " Stonewall " Jackson's celebrated valley campaign, was fought. 182 Both the Caverns of Luray and the Grottoes of the Shenandoah (forty miles south of Luray) will be visited, the party dividing their time between the two places. The Luray Caverns are situated in a limestone hill near the Newmarket Pike, a little over a mile west of the hotel. Carriages will convey the party to the entrance. The subterranean explorations will be made in little parties of convenient size, under the direction of experienced and careful guides. No change of dress is needed to enter the caves, but stout walking-boots or rubber shoes should be worn. Wraps should be discarded while walking about within the caverns, and had best be left at the entrance, as the temperature is uniformly at 56 degrees Fahrenheit, and extra clothing is likely to cause discomfort. The interior is illuminated by electric lights, and the pathways have been made entirely safe. Luray is a charming valley town with an outlook upon the mountains. " Stony

Man," one of the loftiest peaks of the Blue Ridge, is a few miles east of Luray, and the long crest of Massanutten Mountain, which divides the great Valley of Virginia, forms a giant wall in the west. The Grottoes of the Shenandoah comprise several remarkable caverns, the chief of which are Weyer and Fountain Caves. These are situated a short distance from the Grottoes Hotel and the railroad, but on the opposite side of the South Fork of the Shenandoah. We shall pay a visit to Weyer's Cave. The cave has more than a mile of halls, chambers, and passages, all magnificently and wonderfully adorned by stalactites and stalagmites of all sizes, and of almost every conceivable form. Electric lights have been introduced throughout the cave, and the walks, wholly of stone or con- crete, are dry and entirely safe. No change of costume is needed for the excursion, which may readily be made in an hour and a half. From the Grottoes we continue southward by the railroad, crossing the divide between the watersheds of the Shenan- 1S3 doah and the James Rivers. At Lofton we are 1,785 feet above the sea-level. At Natural Bridge station, thirty-six miles south, we have descended to 760 feet. There will be a short stage ride from the cars to the Natural Bridge Hotels. The Natural Bridge certainly deserves to be classed among the greatest wonders of our country, and yet it is one of which northern tourists know but little, except from the pictures in their old geographies. The bridge itself is a stupendous arch of limestone, spanning a deep canon through which flow the waters of Cedar Creek. A road passes over it, and the traveler might cross the bridge many times without being aware of the fact that a stream rolls beneath him under a gigantic archway. The span is about sixty feet, and the height of the bridge above the water 215^ feet. The arch is forty-nine feet thick in one place and thirty-seven in another. The best plan is to first view the wonder from the parapet above — a point near Pulpit Rock furnishing the best means of this — and then go down through the park to the level of the stream. Descending by a steep path beside a series of pretty cascades, the visitor will notice, about a third of the way down, some gigantic arbor vitae trees, one of which, with a circumference of eighteen feet, and estimated to have been 1,500 years old, fell a few years ago. Reaching nearly the bottom of the ravine, a sudden turn in

the path reveals the gigantic arch in all its majesty. The tract of land embracing the

bridge was once owned by Thomas Jefferson. It is now included in a princely estate recently purchased from Colonel H. C. Larsons by a New England syndicate. Road- ways for ten miles or more have been built; but, beyond making the various points of interest accessible to the lovers of nature, not a tree, shrub or flower has been dis- placed. The rules for their preservation are quite strict, but every visitor will cheer-

fully observe them, if he desires to see perpetuated one of the grandest natural parks in America. 184 Leaving the Natural Bridge by stage Wednesday morning, we proceed to the station of the James River Division of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, over which we journey to Richmond. Our route leads us beside the James River, 180 miles. The river breaks through the Blue Ridge at Balcony Falls, three miles east of Natural Bridge station. Lynchburg, 147 miles from Richmond, is the chief town through which we pass. It is a city of 16,000 inhabitants, an important railway centre, and also a busy manufacturing point, sixty tobacco factories, two iron furnaces, and flouring mills being numbered among its industrial establishments. On reaching Richmond the party will be transferred to Ford's Hotel, where it will remain until Thursday afternoon. Richmond, the capital of Virginia, and one of the most beautiful and flourishing cities of the South, was settled as early as 1609 by a body of colonists sent out from Jamestown, incorporated in 1742, and became the seat of government in 1779. In the war of the. Rebellion it became the seat of government of the Confederacy; and the " White House " occupied by President Jeff Davis, now a public school building, may be seen at the corner of Clay and Twelfth streets. Numerous other Confederate land- marks still exist about the city. The Capitol Park, containing, besides the Capitol and Governor's mansion, several beautiful statues, is in close proximity to Ford's Hotel. A handsome monument, surmounted by a statue of General Robert E. Lee, was unveiled at a park on Franklin street, March 29, 1889. Thursday morning there will be a carriage ride, in the course of which the prominent points in the city and its vicinity will be visited. Leaving Richmond Thursday afternoon, we shall proceed over the Chesapeake & Ohio line via Williamsburg, Newport News, and Hampton, to Old Point Comfort, where at the famous Hygeia Hotel we shall remain until Friday evening. Old Point 185 Comfort was thus designated by Captain John Smith and his companions in one of their early voyages of exploration about Chesapeake Bay, when, after tempestuously tossing in a little shallop in the outer bay, they found a haven here ; and many another mariner has discovered that it is no misnomer. Mr. Phoebus, the founder of the magnificent Hygeia Hotel, and his worthy successor, Mr. Pike, have certainly done their part towards giving all due significance to the name. The hotel is one of the largest in the country (having accommodations for over 1,000 guests), and one of the most fashionable, drawing its visitors from both the North and the South. It enjoys the distinction of being both a summer and winter resort, the temperature being cool in summer and warm in winter. The Gulf Stream, which flows quite near the coast, off Cape Henry and Cape Charles, is the great equalizer. Fortress Monroe, the largest fortification in the United States, is less than ioo yards from the hotel, which, in fact, is on the government reservation. Near at hand are Chesapeake City and the ancient town of Hampton, together with the National Home for Disabled- Volunteer Soldiers (southern branch), the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute (the noble institution conducted under the direction of General S. C. Armstrong for the education of colored and Indian youth), a national cemetery, and an ancient church.

Fortress Monroe (which is within a few rods of the hotel) covers about eighty acres, its form being that of an irregular hexagon, two sides of which look out upon the water, while four command the land approaches. A moat, from 75 to 150 feet wide, extends around the entire work. There are numerous finely-shaded walks within the fort. The museum is open from 10 to 12 A. M., and from 1 to 5 p. M. Guard-mount- ing takes place at 8.30 A. M., and dress parade half an hour before sunset. Opposite Fortress Monroe is the artificial island known as the Rip Raps, where Fort Wool

(formerly Fort Calhoun) remains uncompleted. As is well known, Fortress Monroe 1S6 was of great importance to the Union cause during the late war. There was probably a fort of some kind here in the early colonial times. The present work was begun in | 1817, and up to the outbreak of the Rebellion had cost the government $2,500,000.

I The late Jefferson Davis was a prisoner here for some time. Friday evening the party will leave the Hygeia Hotel landing on one of the fine boats belonging to the Norfolk & Washington Steamboat Company. The boats on

J this route are iron I new palace steamers of the best class, and the transits between Washington and the Virginia termini — Fortress Monroe and Norfolk — are made I

I in the most comfortable manner possible. The trip is made by night, the route being to the that I up Chesapeake Bay mouth of the Potomac, and then up historic stream. Washington will be reached Saturday morning and there will be a transfer from the steamboat landing to the Ebbitt House and Willard's. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be devoted to this interesting city. The Dis-

I trict of Columbia is the permanent seat of government of the United States, and

Washington is the capital city within its bounds. Its exact site was chosen by Presi- dent Washington in accordance with a resolution passed by Congress July 10, 1790. Some changes in the boundaries of the district have since been made. The Washing- ton of today nearly (the last the I has a quarter of a million inhabitants census made number 238,160), and is one of the handsomest cities in the world. It has improved very greatly in I appearance within the last decade. The park, avenue, and street area of the city is very extensive, greater, in fact, than that of any other, American or foi- eign. As the outlying districts are gradually being taken up for dwellings or public improvements, the beauty and grand extent of the system of avenues (named in all

1 cases after different States of the Union) are the better perceived. Major Peter Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer and a friend of Washington, originated the plan 187 of the Federal city, and, as may be plainly seen if the visitor stand at the east front of the Capitol, profited largely by studying L'Notre's plan of Versailles. Pennsylvania avenue, the principal thoroughfare, is about four and a half miles in length, but is twice broken — by the Capitol and again by the President's mansion. Massachusetts avenue is of the same length and unbroken. On its line are the finest circles and squares, and many of the most costly residences. The street system is entirely distinct from that of the avenues, which generally intersect the streets diagonally. The city is divided into four sections, denominated respectively Northeast, North- west, Southeast, and Southwest, the Capitol forming the centre. The limits of the several sections are as follows : Northeast — East of North Capitol street and north of East Capitol street. Northwest — West of North Capitol street and north of the Mall, or Government Reservation No. 2. Southeast — East of South Capitol street and south of East Capitol street. Southwest — West of South Capitol street and south of the Mall, or Government Reservation No. 2. The streets extending east and west are lettered, and those running north and south are numbered. The buildings are numbered upon the Philadelphia plan of an added hundredJor each succeeding square or block. As the numbered and lettered thoroughfares are repeated in every instance where space permits, it is customary, in defining the location of any residence or point of interest, to add the initials of the proper section of the street designation, ur, at least, the street divisions — E. or W. with the numbered, and N. or S. with the lettered thoroughfares. An exception to this rule is the northwest section, which contains the main portion of the city. Where no initials are used the northwest section is always implied. In directing letters to the hotels at which our parties will stop, for example, no further designation than the name of the house and "Washington, D. C .," is nee essary, since it is situated in the northwest quarter of the city. For full and comprehensive accounts of the various places of interest in and about the capital, see Keim's Illustrated Hand-book of Washington and its Environs (price 75 cents) ; Mori'/son's Stranger's Guidefor Washington City (price 25 cents) ; Roose's Com- panion and Guide to Washington and Vicinity (price 25 and 50 cents, according to the style of binding), or the admirable hand-book distributed gratuitously by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company. To facilitate sight-seeing, a carriage drive has been planned. This may be arranged at the convenience of little parties who may prefer to ride together, and can be taken either Saturday or Monday morning. In a three hours' round visits will be made to the following points: McPherson, Thomas, Scott, Farragut, and Rawlins squares,

with their respective statues ; the State, War, and Navy departments ; Corcoran Art

Gallery; White House; Treasury Department ; Washington Monument; Bureau of

Engraving; Agricultural Buildings ; Smithsonian Institution and National Museum; Botanical Gardens; Capitol; Navy Yard; Lincoln Park; County Court House; Post Office, and Patent Office. Leaving Washington Tuesday morning, we shall journey to New York over the famous " Royal Blue jJne." This popular route is formed by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad, and the Central Railroad of New Jersey. With a road-bed unsurpassed by any in the country, an equipment that cannot be excelled, and a prompt, safe, and efficient service, this line already occupies a fore- most place. A short time after leaving the capital we cross the Petapsco River, at the historic Relay House. We are soon in Baltimore, and the train is ferried across an arm of the bay from Locust Point to Canton. The Susquehanna is crossed near Havre de Grace, and the Brandywine at Wilmington. The bridge across the Sus- quehanna is 6,000 feet long and one of the finest structures of its kind in the country. 189 It is built of iron with massive stone piers, and is ioo feet above the water. It affords an extended view both up and down the river, and out upon the broader waters of Chesapeake Bay. Havre de Grace, Perryville, Port Deposit, and other Maryland towns are to be seen from the cars. At Chester the road runs near the handsome Pennsylvania State Military Academy. From Philadelphia the party will continue its ride northward, passing over the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company's section of the route. The line passes through attractive parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. At Yardley the road crosses the Delaware River on a fine bridge. At Bound Brook we enter upon the Central Railroad of New Jersey, which speedily brings us to Jersey City, where dinner will be provided, and from whence an annex boat will transfer us across to the Fall River line pier on the New York side. The party will leave New York at 5.00 P. M. on one of the magnificent steamers of the Fall River line. Stateroom berths and supper will be provided on board. The boat will reach Fall River at an early hour the ensuing morning, and there are two trains from the pier to Boston, leaving at 5.30 A. M. The Providence Division station of the Old Colony Railroad (Park square and Columbus avenue) will be reached at 6.50 a. m. It is worthy of note that the party will pass through portions, at least, of nine different States in the course of its wanderings. ITINERARY.

NEW YORK, HARRISBURG, THE BATTLE-FIELD OF GETTYSBURG, Across the Blue Ridge, Hagerstown, Md., Harper's Ferry, and WASHINGTON, I). C. A Week's Tour through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, etc., with an Incidental Visit to America's Greatest Battle-Ground, and to the National Capital.

A special tour to Gettysburg and Washington, occupying only nine days, has been arranged. The time chosen is one of the best in the whole year for comfortable transit, and the routes to be traversed are full of picturesque interest. The heart of every patriotic American will thrill at the mention of Gettysburg. It was there that one of the severest struggles of the War of the Rebellion took place. Two enormous bodies of troops — nearly as many as fought at Waterloo — were pitted against each other, and for three days the battle raged. The first day the Confederates gained an 194 dvantage. The second day ended with a forewarning of disaster to their cause, and le third day brought a glorious victory for the Union arms. As Waterloo checked le power of Napoleon, Gettysburg proved a crushing blow to the hopes and ambitions p the Rebellion. The fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson soon followed, both of lem important events, but from the driving back of the invaders from Gettysburg dated le breaking down of the Confederacy. In no battle-field in any part of the world has more been done to mark the events of ie conflict in permanent memorials. The regiments of the different States that took irt in the great battle have erected many monuments marking their important posi- :>ns. A Battle-field Memorial Association has been formed to preserve the grounds ; id avenues (named after prominent generals who were engaged in the fight) have ;en opened, making the various positions accessible. Massachusetts had a large imber of regiments in the battle, and there are many costly and beautiful monuments to eir bravery. Other New England States are also gloriously represented. With so lany monuments indicating the important points in the battle, and under the escort of hides explain who can the movements of the troops, a visit to Gettysburg battle-field Incomes intensely interesting. A glowing page in our country's history may be janned intelligently.

I A visit to the nation's capital is a fitting supplement to the tour of Gettysburg |ittle-field. The seizure of Washington was one of the events that might speedily Ue followed defeat at Gettysburg. The pathway we shall traverse from one to the her has purposely been made devious. It marks other important events of the war, d at the same time is over routes of great picturesque interest. Hagerstown, in aryland, which played an important part in the great conflict, will be seen after an westing railway ride over the Blue Ridge. Harper's Ferry, in West Virginia, a 195 romantic place upon which the heights of three different States look down, and where the shifting tide of victory and defeat led to many changes of occupancy, is another place which will receive attention. While the visit to Washington will be brief, much may be accomplished in a system- atic course of sight-seeing; and as an aid in that direction there will be a carriage ride, in the course of which visits will be made to the following points : McPherson, Thomas, Scott, Farragut, and Rawlins squares, with their respective statues; the State, War, and Navy Departments; Corcoran Art Gallery; White House; Treasury Department; Washington Monument; Bureau of Engraving; Agricultural Buildings; Smithsonian Institution and National Museum; Botanical Gardens; Capitol; Navy Yard; Lincoln Park; County Court House; Post Office and Patent Office. The ride is intended to give strangers a general view of the city and its chief public buildings, monuments, avenues, and other objects of interest; the fuller inspection of the Capitol, department buildings, etc., being left for a subsequent visit, if more time is desired than the ride offers. In the disposal of their time, generally, the visitors will be left to their individual preferences, the suggestions and services of the conductors in charge of the party being at all times available, however, in aid of those who desire special direction or information. Sight-seeing will not be prosecuted by the excursionists in a body,' but by little parties who make up their day's programme in accordance with their own tastes. Much can be accomplished by intelligent action in this connection. A full list of the public buildings and other points of interest in Washington will be found in connection with our description of Excursion No. 64. The party will leave Boston Tuesday, September 27, starting from the Park square or Providence Division station of the Old Colony Railroad at 5.10 P. M., and proceed to New York, from Fall River, on one of the magnificent steamers of the Fall River 196 ine, reaching that city Wednesday morning. Crossing to Jersey City by annex teamer, the passengers will there go on board the cars of the Central Railroad of few Jersey. From Allentown, Pa., our route lies over the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad, and from Harrisburg southward to Gettysburg over the new line opened ist year in connection therewith. Wednesday will be passed at Gettysburg, and arriages will be furnished for an extended round of the battle-field, which will be lade under the direction of Mr. Minnigh, the well-known guide. Leaving Gettysburg Friday morning, there will be a picturesque journey over the Vestern Maryland Railroad via Monterey Gap, Highfield, Pen-Mar, and Blue Moun- lin to Hagerstown. This is a delightful journey, the road climbing the Blue Ridge nd descending on the western slope, and commanding on both sides a succession of uperb valley views. Several hours will be spent at Hagerstown, and there will lerefore be an opportunity to see something of this quaint old town. Leaving lagerstown by the Washington County Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, lere will be a ride of twenty-four miles to Weverton, and of two miles from thence p the main line to Harper's Ferry, where several hours will be passed. From larper's Ferry we shall proceed over the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad

> Washington, arriving at the national capital Friday evening. There will be an mnibus transfer to the Ebbitt House and Willard's Hotel, where three days will be asse'd. Leaving Washington Tuesday morning by the famous " Royal Blue Line," the arty will journey through to New York, halting by the way in Philadelphia for inner.
