 Five dollars saved on a premium is a trifle ; five thousand dollars lost by bad 
 security w^hen the claim falls due is not a trifle. 
 
 Always try to find out which is likely to live longest, you or the company you 
 insure in ; and therefore whether the company is insuring you, or you are insuring 
 the company. 
 
 A thing you can't get, after you have paid for it, isn't cheap at half a cent.

STOP IIKRE, A MOMENT ! 
 THE PLir.LISIll'.R WANTS A WORD Willi ^'()U!! 
 
 THIS is ii r(Miiiirka})l(' book. its puri)osf nnd its coiileiits arc uiiiquo ; somcwiiat (n-i.i,niial in 
 purpose, entirely so in conti'iits. 
 
 Its purpose is tiie Iiojte of inducinu- liic men of New York City to appreciate the fact, that 
 upbuildiug material for tiu^ vigor of niiiul and body so necessary nowadays, and so lamentably 
 lacking, can be found within a few hours, minutes indeed, of their otliccs. The exhilaration of an 
 inspiring saunter near the heart of nature, and the intoxication of a dralt of pure and ozone laden 
 jiir, are near by every one. Every reader of this book, and there will Ijc thousands of them, sliould 
 profit by some of the opixirtunities shown lierein ; leave for a few hours, at least, the feverish atmos- 
 phere and crushing burdens of their daily life, and plunge into the pure air, on water, or shore, 
 or in woods. Rejuvenation, new vigor, a stronger manhood, will be the certain result. That this 
 idea is underlaid with good conuuon sense, saying nothing about science, is evidenced by the fact 
 that many of the brightest of our journals have taken up the subject ; notably the Outlook, the 
 Brooldi/n Eagle, the Oiitinf/ Maf/azine, as well as many of oin- largest and most influential New 
 York Dailies and Monthlies. The outing idea has come to stay, and will certainly exert a great 
 influence on our urban life and habits — the sooner, the better. 
 
 Its contents are intended to excite the "Outing" spirit. It takes but a glance to see that they 
 are in captivating shape. It would be diflicult to do it better, and yet there is not a line of text 
 or picture that will compare for a moment with the reality. There are suggestions fitting the contents 
 of all purses. The cheaper are pure and sweet and delightful, in spite of cheapness ; the more 
 expensive are not better because of their cost. A delicious, untainted taste of the very breath of 
 heaven will be found in the twenty cent outing, as well as in the dollar one. With a few unim- 
 portant exceptions, all of the articles herein are actual experiences, and the illustrations are not fancy 
 sketches but, as shown at each, they are from ])hotographs of the jilaces named. Everything 
 portrayed is within reach of anybody. 
 
 Advertisements are placed among the reading matter, as is done by the daily papers. It makes 
 one feel cool and fresh to even read some of the "Line" advertisements. Remember that they appear 
 herein for the purpose of securing your patronage, you may be certain that they will try to deserve it. 
 
 Tourist tickets, covering extended trips or tours, are issued by all the large lines. Do not attempt 
 to make up an extended trip for yourself, without tirst asking the lines what they can do for you. 
 The tourist-trip tickets secure many advantages that regular tickets do not cover, and if you have 
 in mind some special trip, do not fail to consult the List of Resorts, &c., on pages 5 to '20, and ask 
 advice of the Lines named therein, at the places you wish to include in your route.

 TRIP on one of these famous steamers, on the noblest stream in the country, offers rare 
 attractions. Their great speed, fine orchestra, spacious saloons, private parlors and luxurious 
 accommodations in every respect render them unexcelled.

 finest vessels afloat.

 The Great Business and Pleasure Route between 
 
 NEW YORK and BOSTON, 
 
 Newport, Providence, Cottage City, Nantucket, Cape Cod, the Mountain^ 
 Seashore and Inland Summer Resorts of New England. 
 
 THE FALL RIVER LINE has been so long and so favorably known to the travel- 
 ing public that any detailed setting forth of its merits and characteristics would 
 seem to be unnecessary. Without doubt, however, a very large number of its patrons 
 and admirers are of persons who know it best as a Summer route, its superior 
 attractions at this season of the year always winning for it "golden opinions" from 
 all sorts of people. And, indeed, the estimation in which it is thus held is entirely 
 justitied by the fascinations of its route and the conditions that distinguish it. The 
 
 ., , trip over Long Island 
 
 •i Sound, and the waters 
 
 of Narragansett and 
 Mount Hope Bays, is 
 superbly delightsome 
 and is full of attrac- 
 tiveness a n d satis- 
 factory qualities at 
 any time or season. 
 The scenic beauties of 
 this route can hardly 
 be described, so varied, 
 numerous and delight- 
 some are they ; while 
 the element of comfort 
 in traveling, so hard to 
 realize in summer time, 
 is with this agency a 
 leading factor, and 
 always united with 
 safety, sure connec- 
 tions and all manner 
 of pleasing features.

 NARRACANSETT PIER is probably the most distinctive and famous watering place of its 
 kind in all New England. Its charms are manifold, and everybody knows them. Its popularity 
 is evinced by the great throngs of people \vho annually visit it. It is reached most comfortably 
 by the Steamers of the Stoninglon Line from New York, in connection with through train via 
 New York, New Haven <& Hartford R. R., and Narragansett Pier R.R. direct to the Pier. 
 
 WATCH HILL is upon a broad promontory which forms the extreme southwest point of the 
 State of Rhode Island. The view of the ocean from the Hill is not surpassed on the New 
 England coast, and the surf bathing is among the finest in the world. In the fifty years that 
 Watch Hill has been a famous resort, not a single life has been lost in bathing. Watch Hill is 
 reached in the most direct manner by the Stonington Line from New York, in connection with 
 the transfer steamer "Watch Hill," which makes eight trips each way, week days, between the 
 Hill and Stonington, in SO minutes.

 RAILROAD TRAVEL V()\i I'LI-ASURE 
 
 T^O many iicoplc niilroail travel is a bore. They 
 dread it even as a means of reaciiiiiu; pleasant 
 l)lace.s. and speak of tiie noise, joltinji; and dust 
 as if they were tlie only tliini>-s to consider in 
 a jourury on the cars. These diseomfoi'ls c.\ist, 
 hut think h:i\v many comforts oll'set them. The 
 noise is not as ji'reat as that mach' in ridinir over 
 the jiavements of a city, whicli is reu'arded as 
 Si'ood fun hy thousands of people; the jolting is 
 not half as bad as that of a wagon ; the dust is 
 less than a horse will throw o\-er you ; you can 
 have ice water whenever you want it, and you 
 can keep out of the mud. In fact so many 
 improNcments have been made in railroading 
 that a train journey is a j^leasant experience 
 — if you take it right. 
 
 Thirty years ago the cars were shoi-ter 
 and lower, the windows small and high 
 above the floor, the seats uiiright, hard and 
 covered with leather; the locomotive could 
 go neither as (quietly, as smoothly nor as 
 swiftly as now ; the lighting at nights was 
 furnished by Avhale oil lami)s and was so 
 doleful llu't the conductor carried a lantern 
 by which to tind his passengers and read 
 their tickets ; the stops for wood and water 
 were tiresome; the ventilation ami heating 
 were imperfect ; sleeping cars had just come 
 into use and were cramped and stuffy, 
 while the occupants were awakennl and 
 made to show their tickets at all hours oi 
 the niglit. instead of leaving them with a 
 porter ; there were no dining cars, and as 
 only ten minutes were allowed at most of 
 the dining stations, a vast de;il of dyspepsia 
 was disseminated with the buns and sand- 
 wiches; as tlie cars had not as many wheels 
 and springs as they have now, they rocked 
 and rattled furiously ; the road-bed was 
 imperfectly ballasted and the iron rails were 
 in danger of breaking ; switches were oper- 
 ated by men at the turnings, or by lirakemen 
 who ran ahead while the train stopped ; 
 there Avas no block .system to insure safety; 
 there were no air brakes, and the lirakemen, 
 who earned their nami's. stojiped a train by 
 the use of mu.scle. 
 
 It is tliffereut now. When wc 
 coal dust and have room to sit uj) in our berths 
 we shall have little more to ask for. Our vesti- 
 buk'd trains are hotels on wheels ; one goes from 
 one end to the other, and cannot fall off if 
 he wants to. The tracks are so smooth, the 
 cars are so well l)alanced and move so silently 
 that one can hardly realize the speed at which 
 
 he is going. The liitinus are handsomer than 
 tho.se of an ordinary ])arlor ; the beds arc wide 
 enough and soft enougii, and are at least as com- 
 fortable as those on ocean steamers ; gas or electric 
 lights are supplied to e\'erv car ; waiters may be 
 called by electric bells; th're are smoking rooms, 
 chess rooms, bullets, bath rooms, bai'her shops, 
 typewriters, writing desks, stock tickers ami a 
 fi'ee library on the train; while exccdlent meals 
 are served in a dining car. On such trains no 
 peddlers shout at the passengers or throw books, 
 I)apers, candy lunl pictures at them, and the 
 
 m;w V

 traveler feels the same liberty and the same pro- 
 tee tion as on an ocean liner. The portt'r expects 
 a tip from each passenger, but that is the only 
 remaining miisance of the many old nuisances. ^ 
 
 In spite of all these improvements, travel is 
 cheaper than it ever was. The ccmipetitiou of 
 rival roads h:is caused a reduction in fares. To 
 one who loves travel, but has little time and

 they are as apt to need as a life preserver. Tlie 
 writer traveled once witli an Knglish naval ollicer 
 whose "hand luggage" filled a wImIc section of 
 a sleeping car. Instead of checking his bags and 
 bundles, as he did his trunks, he ])iled tlean about 
 him. to the distress of him^'lf. tlie porter ami the 
 other passengers. He carried u gun, fishing rod, 
 canes, food, drink, blankets, overcoats of diirerent 
 •weights and colors, extra shoes, c;ips. a dozen 
 books, stacks of old papers, and had barely room 
 to sit in his own place. And a young American 
 was nut in Euroi^e who was trying to make a 
 pedestrian tour with two heavy valis;'S ami a big 
 overcoat — and a sad. hard time he was having. 
 
 Vacations are apt to be sli irt. and the things 
 to he taken on them shoulil be linutid to actual 
 necessities. If anything is sadly needed that you 
 do not find in the train e(pupmeut tell the con- 
 ductor or porter and he will try to tind it, or a 
 substitute for it. You will, of course, regard 
 your berth as your room an I undress when you 
 go to bed ; one should never in the confined 
 space of a car keep on at night the clothes he 
 has Avorn during the day. In the UMrning one 
 can make his ablutions as calndy and tluroughly 
 as in a hotel. 
 
 Don't make a misery of a railroad tri|i. Don't 
 fret about distances, trunks, baggage express, 
 delays, weather or time-tables. Get a time-table 
 and read it by yourself if that kind of literature 
 concerns you, and let the other passengers alone 
 about it. Be interested in the scenery. Be cour- 
 teous to others, and if you find yourself booked 
 for a long run in company with a cheery, intel- 
 ligent person, cultivate him. But don't get into 
 the habit of treating or being treated. Don't 
 hastily introduce yourself to your associates. 
 Don't play poker with strangers, and if you are 
 playing cards, chess or checkers, draw out of the 
 game when stakes are proposed. There are well- 
 dressed, affable scoundrels who make their living 
 on steamers and trains, at other peoples expense. 
 Do not travel with a lot of money or jewelry 
 loose about your clothes. It is a good plan 
 to carry valuables in the inside pocket of your 
 vest, and to have the poeki t closed with a strong 
 button. At night put the vest under your pillow. 
 
 The pleasure of travel by rail is augmented by 
 
 a guide book that will give in concise terms such 
 information as a casual observer would wish to 
 gain, as to the towns, cngimcring works and 
 liojnis of historic or natural interest that he sees 
 from the windows. If he is willing U> take tile 
 railroad companys word for it, such a book will 
 be given to him on any one of the great truidv 
 lines. It is obligingly written l»y an employee 
 of the comiiany. It conveys a very high opinion 
 of that parli(adar road and a ver}' jioor opinion 
 of other roads. When the train jjuIIs in at a 
 dusty water station, with a poxcrty-strieken ham 
 let of Hungarians planted, higgledy-piggledy, in 
 a barren field, and low, monotonous hills environ- 
 ing the place, the tourist will be surprised to 
 learn that this is a town with a future, that the 
 scenery and hotels are tine, the society select,

 the air bracing, no malaria, no moscpiitos, and the 
 comnuitation fare is 85 cents. On the maps, too. 
 the railroad on which you are traveling is always 
 ten miles wide and runs straight across the country, 
 l)ulling cities, lakes and cataracts out of their places 
 by a kind of magnetic attrac-fion. in order to make 
 themselves reached by this line. So perhaps it is as 
 well, if you want to get the facts, to buy yoiu- 
 guicU' hook of some disinterested publisher.

 exposed the traveler to dang'er from red men and 
 more savage Avliite ones. One can now make a 
 satisfactory trip from coast to coast and back in 
 thirty days, spend more than two weeks of that 
 time in rest or sight-seeing, and the expenses will 
 be much less than for a European trip of the same 
 duration. To go from New York to London, 
 3,100 miles, tlrst-class, costs $100 to $650, accord- 
 ing to cabin accommodation. To go from New 
 York to San Francisco or Vancouver, and return, 
 about (J,oOO miles, including through passage in 
 sleeper, with one berth (or hail a section) costs 
 $189, to which should be adiled the cost of 
 meals. For ordinary sight-seeing, travel in first- 
 class trains, sleepers, dining cars, etc., etc, with 
 board at the best hotels in tlie large cities, it is 
 safe to figure on $9 to $10 a day, unless there 
 arc frequent very long riuis on "Limited trains," 
 on which it is easy to spend $25 to $30 a day. 
 For a run of two or more nights it is wiser 
 to take a through sleeper, as it is about as cheap 
 as it would be to travel in the ordinary cars l)y 
 day and engage berths separately for each nights 
 sleep ; beside which, it is much more comfortable.' 
 to be assured of a place, free from interruption, 
 anil to have a spot Avhere yon can leave books 
 and light luggage with a certainty of finding 
 them again ; a place, too, where you may go to 
 
 bed as early as yf)u like and sleep as late as 
 y<Mi please in the morning. You caimot always

 selves up and do/e in an ordinary car scat, but 
 such a sleep is liroken and leaves one feeling 
 wretchedly. Civili/ed man reipdres a place where 
 he can undress, lie at length on clean linen and 
 make his toilet in the mornini;:. 
 
 A man wants to be awake, refreshed and com- 
 fortable to thorouglily enjoy the ocean-like plains 
 of the nnd-continein. the canons of the Kockies, 
 the craggy, glaciated peaks of the Selkirks, tiie 
 lakes and forests of the northwest. And to name 
 these plact'S is lo suggest the dependence of tiie 
 traveler on the railroad as a means of seeing tliem 
 at all. 3Inch of the grandest, most curious and 
 beautiful scenery in our land is far from hotels 
 and s( tt lein( nts. unthreaded l)y wagon wa\'s. and 
 the only way to see it is from the train window 
 or the ])latl'orm of an observation car.

 RAILROAD TRAVEL FUR I'LKASL'RE. 
 
 The great lliing t:) be dono on a railway joiir- 
 luy. as on all vacation Irips. is to free your niind 
 of l)iisin;'ss and rcsiiiinsil)ilily , not to care a six 
 pence whrther the ti'ain gets anywliere on time 
 or not, to Avateli tlie scenery wlien it ])a\s to 
 do so. read einertaining books w hi ii it do;'S not, 
 keep cool an<l clean, eat and sleej) well and be 
 idle gracelully. Do not tell other people about 
 your lix'er or your polities or }'our reliLiion. if 
 you have either of these things, and if ihey I it 
 to tell you about theirs, switch them oil' upnn 
 scit'uce, anecdotes, scenery or ciu'ars. The " liL;hter 
 
 you fly" as to luggage tlic more casy-niinded and 
 indepenih'Ut you will l»e. i'\)r siiort distances, 
 with fre(pient stops, ci'owded c:irs and coMstantly 
 changing a.ssociates, the railroad is to bo coii- 
 sidered as a means ; but for long trips, especially 
 through a thiidy settled country, where there is 
 lillle "way trallic" and w hi i-e the scenery is 
 superb, the journey l)y rail is suHicienl to itself. 
 .Many p 'oplc run over to Kuro|)e. spending but three 
 or fiiiir days ashore, just for the sake of the ocean 
 trip. A land \'oyage is even better worth while, 
 since there are in;dters of interest all the wav. 
 
 THE IDYLLIC CONNECTICUT. 
 
 DUNNING parallel with the Unison, at a dis- 
 ^ tance of only sixty or seventy miles from it, the 
 Connecticut shares many of its scenic as well as 
 its physical and geographic attributes, though the 
 cutting down of forests has diminished the amount 
 of water that goes over it. Charles Dickens ascend- 
 ed to Springfield on a steamer. Now a boat seldom

 gets to Hartford without sticking in the mud. But 
 in spite of this rcdative sparsity of water, it is an 
 ex(iuisite stream. To measure beauty oiw does 
 not require a yard stick or a sounding line. The 
 lower forty miles of its cour.se may be traversi'd 
 by steamer; sloops are available for a little way 
 beyond, but it soon becomes a matter of row 
 boats and eventually of canoes— or bai-e feet. 'Inhere 
 are .li'ood roads beside or near the Connectic\it for 
 much of its length, and a pedestrian t(mr or drive 
 over them will be pleasantly remembered. Even 
 
 the railroad journey that keeps you in sight of 
 the stream, olf and on, from its mouth to Wiiite 
 River Junction is an agreeable; experietice. 
 
 It is well to arrange; a journey so that it shall 
 ]>rescnt a constant increase of interest. Dn not 
 go from till' mountains to the plains. You would 
 not care to see the parish church after the cathe- 
 dral. Hivers often pre- 
 sent romantic scenery in 
 their upper reaches, but 
 "jieterout" when among 
 the swamjw and levels 
 near their mouths. The 
 traveler seeing the Rhine 
 or Hudson for the first 
 time should .see it on the 
 ascent, and this holds good 
 of the Connecticut. If no 
 more were seen of it than 
 the mos(iuito filled 
 marshes near its exit into 
 Long Island Sound he 
 would vote the river to 
 be a Inunbug. But when 
 the Haddams are reached 
 — South Haddam, Middle 
 lladdam, Iladdamville, 
 Haddam Bridge and the rest, whose exasperating 
 iteration caused one .sleepy rustic to wish the 
 devil had 'em— the baidvs show height and are 
 gracefully wooded, and the farm house roofs 
 riiaf peep from the foliage suggest comfort, 
 thrift and hajipiness. Middletown, like its name- 
 sake in the Empire State, is the seat of a large 
 insane asylum, but otherwise is of no stirring 
 interest. Portland, across the river, is where they

 reach Hartford, tlie richest city for its si/.e in

 traveler should note the old and new State Houses, 
 the nobly-placed Trinity College, the asylums, the

 the Connecticut to East

 he has ,i;()t well away from

 of New England will come 
 to him. He will detect it 
 in the doings and onh'r-

 still, peaceable, practical, 
 
 poetic and pious, shrewd, economical, })rosperous,

 New England makes the 
 strongest appeal. The 
 beauty of its scenery, the 
 variety of its physical 
 features, its relatively 
 cool and salubrious cli- 
 mate, the su]ieriority of 
 its roads to those in the 
 Soutli and West, the order 
 and safety of its towns 
 and villages, the romance 
 of its legends and history, 
 the charm that its writers 
 have thrown about it, the 
 kindly nature and quaint 
 speech of its people, and 
 tile quiet and comfort of 
 its inns, are alluring to 
 those who prefer to spend 
 their vacations in travers- 
 ing fresh fields and pas- 
 tures new, to dawdling 
 on the crowded piazzas of summer hotels. 
 
 Now, as to the disposition of time, where time is 
 limited : leaving New York in the evening, so as to 
 gain a day, we will suppose a straight run to Hart- 
 ford by train, direct ; or what is better, by lioat, 
 thus enjoying the ])eautiful river scenery above 
 the Haddams, in the early morning hours. A 
 ramble to Prospect Hill and back, passing the deaf 
 and dumb asylum and the hcnises of Mark Twain, 
 Harriet Beecher Stowe and Charles Dudley Warner, 
 
 his lunch on Mount Xonotuck or Mount Ilolyoke, 
 to descend and dine and sleep in Norihani|)lon. 
 
 The third day can be broken at Bratlleboro and 
 Pxllows Falls to advantage, and perhaps a run to 
 Claremonl can be ineiude(| bifore pulling up for 
 the night at Windsor,

 The fourth day may be devoted to a leisurely 
 ascent and descent of Ascutnej', carrying a snack 
 to be eaten at the summit, and the fifth day can 
 be spent in the academic- shades of Dartmouth. 
 
 The hotel charges are not extravagant at any of 
 these places, and horse and trolley cars and stages 
 facilitate short excursicms. The fare will amount 
 to about $l.-).()0, and $8.00 a day will cover reason-

 AN OUTING ON A COASTER. 
 
 'T'O a youns: man who has a hit of that spice in 
 liis nature whicli us((l to animate tlie Aincr- 
 icMii youtli of tile eiirlier \r.iv\ of tliis century, 
 there is a stronii' attniclion in the sea. Now. 
 anybody can go to si'a, and tiie way to do so is 
 ma(h' plain and exjiensive ])\ lines of steamers 
 o]teratini>" over every part of the globe, where il 
 is worth while to run them. That is not going 
 to sea though, in the old and jiroix'r sense, aiul 
 
 there is a lu'w 
 experience 
 
 \ '; in store for 
 
 tile tourist who 
 wants to take his 
 ocean strong, so to speak, and live directly in con- 
 tact with it. He can get that exjierience from a 
 week in a coasting schooner, altliougli it is not 
 every one who can or will take him, because the 
 multiplying and improvement of steamships has 
 made it less and less of an advantage to sailing 
 vessels to carry passengers. A generation ago it 
 was no unusual thing for captains of small 
 vessels to take passengers on trips to their (h's- 
 tinations — up to the British Provinces, into the 
 labyrinthine .aulfs of jMaiiie. down to Flori<la. or 
 over to the Bermudas. The Nova Scotia girls 
 who were valued as housemaids in the days 
 before we got to looking to Europe for our help 
 — and precious little lull) most of it is — came to 
 our cities on coasters, as incidents to the trade in 
 lumber, stone and tisli. 
 
 Compared with going to sea in an ocean liner, 
 a trip in a 'long shore schooner is as cani[)iiig out 
 in the woods is to stopping at a five dollar a-day 
 hotel. And that is the charm of the w hole thing: 
 it is roughing it, with a vengeance. Passage, 
 when it can be secured, is low in price. On such 
 vessels it used to average hardly more than a 
 dollar a Inindred miles, and when one tiiinks how 
 much time that means, and jiow many meals it 
 incurs, it will be seen that nothing farther could 
 be expected in the way of cheapness. The captain 
 will probably be unable to understand why 30U 
 want to 2:0 with him when there are so many 
 
 coinforlnble boats running, but if you succeed in 
 talking him over, you will enjoy your trip, if you 
 enjoy the sturdy, uneonveiit ioiial side of things. 
 In a voyage (if this sort it is impo.ssible to 
 reckon accurately on the time il will take. With 
 favoring bree/es you can make a run in a dav over 
 a course that |iei-haps you will s|)rii(l a week in 
 covering on (he return. Tlie roiilc to the north- 
 ward is Id be preferred, ordinarily, to a run in 
 a soullierly direction, because the coast north of 
 Cape Cod is ])i(t ures((ue all the way to the Arctic, 
 while the coast that stretches southward from tlie 
 same Cajie is dull and Hat, agreeable for bathing 
 and lounging, but utterly wanting in s<'enic in 
 terest. These small \-essels do not stand out 
 so far to sea in their trijis as larger 
 ones, and in such a run as that from 
 I Boston to St. .John a schooner 
 
 c -..- 'T ■ will keep so well in to shore 
 
 '^' — that a jianoramic view of the 
 
 whole Maine coast will be af- 
 j5-~ forded, and that \ lew is a 
 
 jikv . matchless one. 
 
 Let it be understood that this voyage 
 is not commended to women nor to delicate young 
 men. Old men are too settled in their habits to 
 enjoy it, and dudes are too tender to endure it. It 
 is distinctly a sort of vacation that ajipeals to the 
 young, strong and adventurous. 'Plie life will be 
 rough, the crew may be rough, tlunigh good 
 hearted, the meals will range from poor to 
 awful, the smells in tlie cabin (which in most 
 of tluse schooners is likewise the forecastle) will 
 not be appetizing, the motion in a heavy sea will 
 lie so violent that the plunging of an ocean grey- 
 hound will seem in comparison 
 as a drowsy loll in a rocking 
 chair; but the voyager will 
 return strong and tough and 
 l)rown, and full of knowledge M 
 about sea life that he would not ^^,^ 
 get if he crossed to Europe in i-^*^ ^ 
 the finest "Liner" twice a year.

 AN OUTIXG ON A COASTFR. 
 
 Tlic outfit for such a trij) can he as inexpensive 
 as tlie trip itself. Simply take your oldest clot lies. 
 A -wanu overcoat is desirahle. and if any article 
 is bouiiiit expressly for the trip it niiu-jit l)e a 
 sou'wester, to pi'otect the head from cold rains 
 and drenchiii 
 
 seem to mind, as a landsman does, the mouldy odor 
 that |)ervadcs the spaces helow decks. Ha vim,' 
 Iluis assured himself that lie is nritlier to he frozen 
 nor starved, the passenu:er can now turn his alien 
 tinn to enjoynieiil, and tin re is ii <,'o(»d deal of il, 
 
 -• mists. The clothes sold to sailors of a new kind, especially for the jadi'd city man. 
 
 at what are deservedly called "slop shops," alom 
 the water front, are commonly frauds, 'riicy are 
 made of shoddy and even their sou'westers leak 
 like sieves. A valise will hold all that need he 
 taken, and if you are foolish cnouu-h to take 
 
 anythini;- of 
 more value 
 
 whiskey and 
 
 cigars, let th(; lock on that valise be strong, for 
 it is a grievous fact that some sailors were not 
 brought up in a Sunday school. At the same 
 time, a few of those cigars, ami perhaps a sly 
 nip at that whiskey, wdll make them frienils of 
 yours from the start. 
 
 It will he found desirable to take a few deli 
 cacies in the way of pickles, lemons, sardines, 
 cheese, lime juice or rasplierry vinegar, for the 
 water on board is warm, being dipped from a 
 barrel that stands in the sun all day, 
 and the cuisine has commonly to do with 
 salt i)ork, salt mackerel, potatoes, liard 
 tack, fresh biscuit and alleged tea and 
 coffee. It will be a mercy to the ofHcers 
 and crew if you will share some of these 
 
 aboard a day liefore sailing, spyina; 
 out the state of the larder and liav- " -i=Ji3t< 
 ing a comprehensive iuteryiew with t^" 
 the cook, a better idea will lie oh 
 tained of what to tak(! and what to ' / i ^'<H| 
 omit, for it happens once in a while that' ' 
 a coaster goes out with a food supply 
 that would really be a credit to a 
 boarding house, and has a man for a 
 cook who is content to kill his asso- 
 ciates with simple indigestion instead 
 of active poison. 
 
 Another precaution needful to a proper 
 enjoyment of the voyage is a fair supply of 
 insect powder. Let the bedding be shaken 
 out and aired every day, for that is a matter 
 in which sailors are la.\, and they do not 
 
 'l"he bracing sea air, the free, hearty life, the long 
 slee|)s, Ihe e.\ercise at the wheel, at the halliards and 
 the ca|)slan ; the Ireiiiendoiis yarns spun by the 
 older sails; the sight of passing vessels, of rocky 
 coasts, of tumbling porpoise and other strange 
 marine life; the i)assing lights and shadows that 
 make the sea as changeable as a piece of silk: the 
 trumpeting of the storm, the stars above the rock- 
 ing masts, the sun rising out of the Hood, the 
 moon tracking silver Jicross Ihe crisping 
 IS, the milky phosphorescence 
 on dark nights; the clang of 
 hells, tooting of horns and 
 hoarse roar of whi^llrs in a 
 fo,<i"; the trollin.ir alongside, the 
 sjiearing of doIi)liins, jxirpoises 
 or sunfish ; th(! warm lazy 
 mornings, curled up before the 
 break of the cabin with a pijie, 
 or the greater security for 
 |iri\acy and (piiet tluit is alTorded by the cross trees, 
 given over to light reading or to dreams; the daily 
 discoveries anent the lite on the deep and those who 
 go to sea in shi])s; the tricks of the elements — 
 these are factors in a vacation that probably not 
 one young man in twenty thousaiul has ever 
 undertaken. All di'pends, of course, on tinding a 
 captain who will agree to take you. If you get 
 his consent you must be prepared to undergo 
 some discomforts — no more, probably, than you 
 would eneoiuiter in camp — and you will get on 
 much lu'lter, if you will siilimit 'o them with 
 hearty good nature, since they are inevitable under 
 the circumstances. Take what bunk can be spared 
 for you, do not demand pie at a table where 
 Map-jacks are a lu.xury. do 
 not scold and comiilain and 
 make yourself a wonder and 
 a subject of ridicule among 
 tiie sailors, and if you have 
 any "sporting blood" in you, 
 the vacation in the cabin and 
 on d( ck of a coasting 
 schooner will he one to 
 look hack upon with 
 genu i ne satisfaction ; 
 bearing fruits of strug- 
 gles with the inner and 
 the outer man. A 
 new man, with ap- 
 petite tutiircd and 
 sharpened by de- 
 nials; with a vitality

 measured up by ones own inelina- /

 you can load up with 
 
 a lot of yarns, jokes and

 will be so welcome that 
 
 the fare will become a 
 
 minor consideration ; a

 THREE DAYS IN THE CATSKH.LS. 
 
 ■ •i*J',.WBP'- 
 
 T^IIE Catskills are a blessing to New^ York and 
 * the big cities around it, that the cities have 
 been slow to appreciate. The White Mountains, 
 twice as far away, were supplied 
 with good hotels and reasonable 
 means of transportation some time 
 before the Catskills were : but the 
 last nam(»d mountains are now not 
 merely convenient in distance but 
 have been brought near in time. 
 Their charms are cheap and not a 
 whit less good for that reason. It 
 is a matter of only a fcAv hours to 
 get to the heart of them from the 
 metropolis, and it is a matter of 
 few days to get a good idea of 
 their geography and scenery. They 
 foriu :i little mountain world, cpiite 
 different in grouping and extent 
 from either the White Motuitains 
 or the Adirondacks. Naturally 
 beautiful, their charms have been 
 augmented by poetry and legend, 
 and j'ou still see the spot where 
 Rip Van Winkle slept; where the 
 revengeful rival was slain and 
 burned by the Indians at the 
 
 w^edding ; where the manitou disguised himself 
 as a bear and wlu^re the storm-witch sat as she 
 wove the clouds and forged the thunderbolts.

 Not all of the mountain country is yet open

 But there are many tine hotels, and whether one 
 goes afoot, horseback or in a carriage, he need 
 never lack shelter or food; that is. in the 
 traveled district. If he goes aside from the fre- 
 quented townships he must eiiuiji himself heavily, 
 as for exploration, and there are reasonable 
 chances of meeting deer, bears, skunks and w-ild 
 cats. The farmers were formerly hospitable and 
 are still decent fellows, but the recent invasion 
 by people with money to spend has made them

 of the seething flood is more startling, if not 
 more impressive, than the normal flow. The 
 creek plunges straight for one hundred and 
 eighty feet, and one can walk behind it on a 
 narrow ledge and see the landscape through the 
 mist ; a second fall is eighty feet high. The

 THREE DAYS IN THE CATSKILLS. 
 
 Now stroll out to Sunset Rock and take n Ion? 
 look into Kaati'iskill ("love, a (k'cp wooded valley 
 from whose bottom the mountains rise steeply 
 
 for o\cr 2.000 feet. You can <liiic 
 
 the hole 
 
 near the falls, by the way, and tiicn proceed 
 
 citiicr by wau'on. train or, best of all, afoot to 
 
 Haines C'oi'uers, wlurc you may see 
 
 another fall, tor twenty five cents, 
 
 and u'et a glimpse of the i)retty 
 
 settlement of Twili-ht Park. Then 
 
 throuiih Tannersville to Hunter, by 
 
 train if you will, and there stop for 
 
 the niji'ht. 
 
 On the second day a.scend Hunter 
 ISIountain, l)v a jjood [lath, and enjoy 
 the view from the observatory. This 
 is the tallest of the central Catskills 
 and the rock and forest scenery on 
 its slope is romantic enough for anj- 
 taste. In the afternoon engage a 
 carriage, unless you are a tierce 
 walker, and drive through Jewett, 
 Lexington and Prattsville, with its 
 quaintly sculptured rocks, to either 
 Grand Gorge or Roxbury. At Grand 
 Gorge is the " Divide" from which, 
 on one side, the bubbling spring 
 sends its water wa'stward through 
 the Delaware to find the sea at Cape 
 May, and on the east side another 
 spring contributes its mite, through 
 Esopus Creek, to help swell the 
 volume of the Hudstm; the train 
 men will show the dividing point 
 and the two springs, as the train 
 passes through the gorge. The 
 scenery here is (piieter than among 
 the eastern hills, but it is full of 
 loveliness and grace. Here take 
 train on the Ulster tt Delaware Road 
 to Phoenicia, following Esopus Creek, 
 down steep grades, among majestic 
 mountains, and put up for the night. You will have 
 had a lively day and will have earned your sleep. 
 
 On the third day take train through Stony 
 Clove, the deepest, most savage of them all, to 
 Kaatcrskill Junction and from there descend on 
 foot through Plattckill Clove, one of the loneliest 
 and most picturesque to Saugerties, where night 
 boat can be taken to New Y'ork. 
 
 This ])rogramme can be diversified endlessly. A 
 few days more will enable one to see the western 
 end of the mountains, including the cuhninating peak 
 MiMint Utsayanlha, and fmni liiglndiun one may 
 ascend Slide Mountain, eleven luiles away and 4,200 
 feet high, passing the Stale deer park en route.

 WATKINS GLEN. 
 
 Illustrations in this Article from Photos, by J. D. Hope and R. D. Crum, Watkins Glen. 
 
 A PLEASANT excursion is ahvays feasible among 
 the thriving towns and fertile farms that con- 
 stitute that garden of content which is the center 
 of New York state. The scenery is not often 
 exciting, for there are no hills that justify the 
 name of moimtains, after one has crossed the 
 Alleghanies, and there are no wide reaches of 
 forest or impressive, unclothed plain. There are, 
 however, hidden away in nooks among the hills, 
 
 ravines that present phases of remarkable and 
 romantic scenery. There are scores of them that 
 deserve to be known to the tourist, but their 
 archetype is Watkins Glen, in the pleasant town 
 of Watkins, at the head of Lake Geneva, as it 
 is sometimes called, or Seneca Lake, as the 
 geograi)hers properly name it. 
 
 All ot the ravines like Watkins are cut by the 
 ancient ilow of waters through a thick bed of 
 old red sandstone, and the streams that performed 
 
 this lapidarj' work were never of large volume. 
 As a result the cutting is narrow in proportion 
 to its depth, and it is to that circumstance that 
 the impressiveness of the glens, as it is common 
 to call them, is due. To skim over the country 
 and see it from a railway car, it would not be 
 thought possible that such canons could be found 
 there. 
 
 see Watkins in a day, for the 
 walking is not hard and the dis- 
 tances are not great. Perhaps 
 Havana Glen should be seen first, 
 for it first comes in the tourist's 
 way as he goes fromElmira north- 
 ward. It is nearly the equal of 
 Watkins and has not had its deserts 
 from the traveler, and in several 
 respects it is different from the 
 companion glen. It is less 
 extravagant in its consti'uc- 
 tion, perhaps, though in the 
 rock chamber about half way 
 up there is a wonderful like^ 
 ness to human architecture, 
 ^rjthe stone seeming to lie in reg- 
 ular courses of masonry. It 
 lacks the larger spaces of Wat- 
 kins, however, is only half as 
 long and the stream that falls 
 through it is not as large. If 
 a person can see but one, see 
 Watkins. The sight will re- 
 pay the journey. Those who are 
 going to Rochester or Niagara 
 will find it easy to make the 
 journey to the elen as a side trip, 
 for it lies only tw^enty miles off 
 the main line of the Erie road, 
 on the line connecting at Elmira, 
 I place that is likewise worth a. 
 short stop, to see the well man- 
 aged reform school. 
 
 Arrived at Watkins one finds 
 himself in a (julet, old-fashioned place of 3,000 people, 
 tlie public buildings on the village green recalling 
 those of New England in their pseudo-classic archi- 
 tecture. If the traveler is flying light of baggage he 
 can leave his traps at the restaurant where he dines 
 or breakfasts — for if he desires to save money he 
 need not put up at a hotel — or he can leave his 
 bag at the lodge where he pays admission to the 
 glen. It is a walk of only a few rods from this 
 lodge to the back of a theater of rock where.

 through a narrow rift, a crystal stream is drop- 
 ping. A stair of wond msccikIs beside tiie stre;iiii 
 and on cliinbinii- il tiic tourist linds liiiuscif in 
 tiie shadowy dcpllis of ihe glen. Il is now a]i- 
 parent that in a place like this he owes a good 
 (k'al to man, even if man. in the shape of a 
 ticket-taker, demands all that he tiiinks is due to 
 Inm, and a little by way 
 of interest. 
 
 Without the stairs, the 
 l)aths and Ihe shelves cut 
 along the k'dges, it would 
 be impossible to see the 
 place, save at peril to limb 
 or life, and even then the 
 views wovdd not be as satis- 
 factory as they are now. 
 The paths and stei)s are 
 constructed so as to give 
 the largest outlooks and 
 best points of view, some- 
 times leading almost into 
 the spray of falls, again 
 \mder treacherous lookiug 
 outcrops of rock, again 
 through intervening bits of 
 wood, then through tunnel - 
 like depths where the walls 
 almost come together over- 
 head, and the hiss and 
 plunge of the stream are 
 echoed from rock to rock, 
 adding to the wildness of 
 the impression. 
 
 Cavern cascade, the Laby- 
 rinth, Minnehaha Falls, the 
 long staircase pitched up at 
 an angle of 45 degrees, Glen 
 Cathedral, the Pool of the 
 Nymphs, Glen Arcadia, El- 
 tin Gorge, Glen Facility 
 and Glen Elysium are hap- 
 pily named points of in- 
 terest on the route. Glen Cathedral is probably 
 the finest jiart of the glen. It is a chasm a 
 thousand feet long with walls nearly three hun- 
 dred feet high, their tops fringed with ferns and 
 bushes and trees bending over. A still pool 
 spreads through a jiart of the level floor and a 
 cascade tund^les into it at the upper end, over 
 a ledge sixty feet high. 
 
 The visitor enters at Glen Aljiha and if he has 
 persistence to trace the ravine to its end, three 
 miles away at Glen Omega, he will emerge in a 
 tangle of vegetation where there is little of sceiuc 
 consequence. If he does not wish to descend as 
 he went up — though it is advisable to do ,so, 
 because he gets new points of view that are 
 striking and beautiful — he may climb upon the 
 railroad near the upjier end of the ravine, where 
 it crosses bv a trestle one hundred and fiftv feet 
 
 liigh, and four hundred and (ifly feet long, or 
 lie can make a partial descent until lie comes to 
 Ihe light iron biiilge that spans the gulf at tiie 
 niountain house and make his exit tliere, getting 
 back to town by a pleasant road, commanding a 
 wide view. Tlie whole scenery of the glen is 
 bi/.arre, romantic and impressive. There are many 
 
 such glens in the central counties of the State, 
 and they are worth seeing, too. but after view- 
 ing Watkins you know what they are all like. 
 A sail down Seneca Lake, for at least a part 
 of its length, is in order after seeing the glen. 
 Like other lakes in central New York, this is a 
 long, finger-like body of water, so narrow that 
 it inii)resses one more as a river than an in- 
 closed body, yet so long that when one looks over 
 it from either eiul the water and sky meet, as 
 they do on the ocean. It is thirty-tive miles long, 
 and l)ut from one to four miles wide. The water, 
 which is of wondrous purity never freezes in 
 winter. Its shores are gently rolling and in sum- 
 mer are beautiful with verdure, as they are fra- 
 grant with fruit in the Fall. Grajx-s are grown 
 here in immense quantities, the soil, climate and 
 hillside exposure seeming to be exactly what they

 require. On several of the faces of the hills the 
 dark mouths of glens will be seen, with delicate 
 cascades spraying through their entrances. The 
 onl}'' stops of interest to the tourist will be those 
 made at Ovid, the site of a large asylum, and 
 ■Geneva, at the northern end, a pleasant and 
 thriving town noted for its schools. 
 
 Watkins Glen makes a unique "Side Trip," 
 but it can be made the turning point of a most 
 interesting and profitable outing of a few daj^s. 
 Take the Erie from New York to Elmira (eight 
 hours), returning from Elmira to New York by 
 ■either the Lehigh Valley or the Delaware, Lacka- 
 wanna & Western. Prom Elmira to Watkins by 
 the Northern Central is fifty minutes. 
 
 The Erie will give at least two days pleasure 
 
 by s'ops along the line ; particularly by stopping 
 at Port Jervis, thence by stage down the Dela- 
 ware Valley to Milfonl. or thereabouts, and re- 
 turn to Port Jervis ; thence to Shohola Glen ; 
 tlicnee to Elmira ; this trip over the Erie passes 
 through some of tlie most enchanting railroad 
 scenery in the Eastern States. Two days at 
 Watkins Glen, at Havana Glen and on Seneca 
 Lake. Returning to New York by the Lehigh 
 Valley (eight hours), tvro days can be spent 
 en route at Glen Onoko, Mauch Chunk, Wilkes- 
 barre, &c., passing through "The Switzerland of 
 America." Making six days in all. 
 
 The railroad fares would be about $14.00, and 
 hotel and other expenses can be kept within 
 $8.00 to $:150 per day

 but for the best way of getting around give me a 
 horse, srmething with legs to save mine, some- 
 thing that won't compel me to pump my heart 
 out, on a bit of sandy strip or a little rise in 
 tile road. Poets have sung the praises of the 
 horse for ages, but the noble animal never did 
 and never will appear to better advantage than 
 
 on a country road, attached to a comfortal)le 
 wagon, attended by two or more lovers of nature, 
 who may be in the wagon or sauntering along 
 for a little stretch, or a little botanizing or geo- 
 logizing. 
 
 The gregarious tendency of the times, the club, 
 
 the casino, the pri\ate 
 
 parks and settlements, 
 
 the luxury of modern 
 
 travel, the wild, nervous 
 
 desire for something new 
 
 or exciting, have all had 
 
 the etfect of turning the 
 
 hearts of Gothamites from 
 
 that sweet and refreshing 
 
 communion with nature 
 
 that can only be had by 
 
 close contact. Nature is 
 
 coy, nature must be

 went unpaid, nay, who 
 
 was not overpaid, who 
 
 sought nature with the 
 
 least bit of affectionate 
 
 regard. Nature can be 
 
 seen and felt from a 
 
 wagon, in whims a n d 
 
 humors and phases that are absolutely invisil)le 
 
 from any other medium. I have driven thiough 
 
 blossom-lined roads that were unapproachable in

 There need be nothing excei)tional about the 
 turnout. A horse and buggy will answer for a 
 coupie. T have spent many hajipy hours and 
 covered many miles in such. For four, an ordinary 
 depot wagon and team is the thing. The wagon 
 and horses that took me over two thousand 
 miles, on tive or six trips, are shown in the 
 picture above, of the Franeonia Notch. It is the 
 usual straight-body depot wagon, with a trunk 
 rack and a strong brake addeil. There is room 
 under the seats for camera, horse blaidscls and 
 
 coals and wraps. The hand-bags contain Ih.' luilet 
 articles and knickkn;ieks wanted dm-inir the dav, a 
 small trunk, or its eipiival.'nl, on the rack, carries 
 a eii.inge or two of linen, a change of gowns 
 and oilier things wanted only when resting. Vou 
 travel light in a carriage, nothing Imt aclual 
 necessilies ; expri'ss packages meet you. and are 
 relurned home, at convenient points. Don't worry 
 about the style or strength of tin; wai^on ; the 
 one you have in use will answer your purpo.sc 
 fully, as the average roads are (jiiite as good as 
 those you are accustomed to u.se. If your wagon 
 has no brake, you can get one put on for cigiit 
 to len dollars ; don t start without a brake. 
 
 Any sound horses will be benelited, raih.r t),;,n 
 otherwise, by such a Irij) ; that is, pi-f.vided you 
 
 look after theiri your- 
 self. If you lake no 
 iut<'rest in horses, or 
 don't understand them, 
 you had belter not 
 start; b.raltliough there 
 is plenty cjf hd]) at all 
 stopping places, yet it 
 is not always intelli- 
 gent, or willing to do 
 .just the right thing. I 
 have taught many u 
 cmutry groom how to 
 foment my hoi-ses legs 
 after a jog of twenty 
 miles, or so, over a 
 heavy or gravelly road, 
 and I have often moved 
 a horse away from a 
 crack in the siding of 
 a country barn, through 
 which a wind was blow- 
 ing that would have 
 caused a i)ainful stif- 
 feiung in a few mo- 
 nieius. The motive 
 power is such an im- 
 portant factor in an 
 outing of this kind that it is worth looking after, and 
 nuist be. See to the housing of the horses yourself, 
 and satisfy j'ourse If that the groom understands his 
 business before you leave him ; use a blanket, 
 and don't feed until the horses are cool ; bathe 
 feet and legs after any hard work; feed and rest 
 regularly. It is wise to fee the groom liberally ; 
 remember that you are an entire stranger and 
 that consequently you and your traps are of little 
 interest to him, exce])t thai \'ou bring to him just 
 so 'iiuch extra work. I remember the lowering 
 looks of a cou])le of grooms, when I drove up 
 to the barn of a hotel at C'ooperstown ; we had 
 raced for ten miles through rain and mud along 
 the shore of Cooper's " Glinuner-Glass " (Otsego 
 Lake) on a Avager that we could l)eat the liltlc 
 
 halters, rubber-coats, umbrellas, hand-bags, and lake steamer into Coopcrstuwu ; we did it, but

 the -n-hole turnout, harness, horses and wagon

 to earn a dollar apiece, changed the scowls to

 the meadows of eastern Massachusetts, through 
 Newburyport, Ipswich, Cape Ann, Salem, Boston, 
 Bridgewater to Fall River, thence by boat to

 What has already been said will suggest a 
 choice of routes. The best roads will be found 
 east of the Hudson or in the northeastern 
 section of New Jersey. The best nearby 
 natural scenery, in variety, is west of the 
 Hudson. Perhaps the best combination 
 of natural, pastoral, and modern improve- 
 ments will be found in a route through the 
 Ilousatonic Valley and the Berksliires, 
 returning down the east side of the 
 mountains. The Catskills are not fertile 
 enough to show fine farm life, but the 
 eastern and centre sections are wonder- 
 fully rich in natural effects. Through 
 the Mohonk region, by jMinnewaska and 
 Ellen ville. and down the Delaware Valley 
 to the Water Gap, thence northwest to 
 West Point is a splendid combination trip. 
 The country through the Oranges, IMont- 
 clair, IMorristown, Budds Lake, &c., af- 
 fords a choice of delightful experiences.

 driven fifty miles in a day, but the 
 average of a trip is about twenty- 
 five miles; always resting on Sun-

 weeks trip, covering about six 
 hundred miles, we drove the team 
 twenty-eight miles in two and 
 three-quarter hours; they had been 
 so well cared for that they took 
 the gait themselves. It would be 
 impossible to find a more exhila-

 "T^IIE scholar, the soldier, the pedagogue, the 
 historian, the patriot, the artist and the ramb- 
 ling siglitseer find "West Point one of tlie most 
 interesting spots in tliis country. Phuuicd as it

 ington and Arnold, hero and villain of the 
 Ilevolutionary drama, dotted with moninnents 
 tliat recall the daring, the energy, and the up- 
 rightness of the people, and popidated by some 
 hundreds of young men who are to command 
 our army in the future, the visitor is thrilled 
 when he stands on its broad fields and hears 
 the clangor of martial nuisic cclioing against the 
 crags. 
 
 If the visit can be made during the June 
 <'xaminations, all tlu' bt'tter, for the cadets are 
 
 then on exhibition, so to speak, in all branches, 
 of the service, infantry and cavalry drill, hand- 
 ling of field arlilkay and siege guns, signaling, 
 jiontdon building, target practice, Iximb practice 
 and warlike evolutions on the camjius. After 
 graduation they go into camp until cool weather. 
 Aside from this season the best and busiest 
 months are April, jMay, September and October. 
 West Point is a plateau presenting a steep 
 face to the river on the north and east and 
 roughest and tallest of the 
 highlands. It has been a 
 military post since 1778. and 
 the evolutions to be seen 
 here are the most perfect in 
 the world. Oiu- army may 
 not be large, but it is good. 
 Usually the school contains 
 about 300 young men, and 
 near at hand are quarters 
 for a small ccmnnand of 
 regular troops. Cadets are 
 admitted between the ages 
 of 17 and 22, if they pass 
 the physical and mental 
 tests and get a Congres- 
 sional nomination. They 
 are taught by officers of the 
 army in the higher English 
 branches, drawing, langu- 
 ages, engineering and law. 
 The mathematical course 
 is trying. 
 
 Each cadet becomes a 
 second lieutenant on gradu- 
 ation, and may elect whether 
 he will enter the cavalry, 
 artillery, infantry or en- 
 gineers, in accordance with 
 his percentage of merit, but 
 his training ciualifieshim for 
 all branches of the service. 
 He must be a daring rider, 
 a skilful fencer, he nuist 
 excel the members of the raidc and file in the manual 
 of arms and above all things, he must be truthful 
 and honorable. The schooling is four years long 
 and is severe. No officer in any of the world's 
 arniies is so well equipped for his work as the 
 West Pointer. 
 
 Visitors can see most of the sights of the 
 Point Avithout trouble. Cadets sometimes feel 
 their importance a little unduly, especially in 
 their first years, and if a visitor accidentally 
 trespasses on forhidden ground he is liable to be

 Fort Clinton, at tlie 
 edge of the plain, was 
 
 known as Fort Arnold up to the time of Arnold's 
 defection, and we smile when we hear that it 
 was then regarded as impregnable. This was 
 line of a series of batteries that lined the hill- 
 sides and extended toward the river below. Of 
 the others of these works only IJattcry Knox 
 and Fort Putnam remain. Fort Sherbourne stood 
 on Trophy ])oint and the new observatory marks 
 the site of Fort Webb. 
 
 Fort Clinton contains a nioiuiment to Kosci-

 and spi'ing to which tlu^ gallant Pole was in

 visitors and the following is a concise programme 
 of their exercises from June First to November 
 First: 
 
 Graduation Exercises commence June 1st and 
 last about 10 days. About the middle of June 
 the Cadets go "in Camp." "Camp" is broken 
 on August 29th. 
 During Camp— Troop parade and Guard mounting 
 
 at 8.00 a.m.; evening parade at (j.80; also drills 
 
 from 7.00 to 7.45 a.m., and Artillery from 9.00 
 
 to 10.00 a.m. 
 From the middle of June 
 
 until the end of August, 
 
 Cadet Hops are given 
 
 on IMonday, Wednes- 
 day and Friday even- 
 ings, and the band 
 
 plays on 
 
 Tuesday, 
 
 Thursday 
 
 and Satur-

 Aside from cadet life and the public buildings, 
 the natural beauties of the Point can be seen, 
 especially by the average American tourist, in a 
 few hours; but many hours can be profitably 
 and pleasurablj' spent, as indicated above. If 
 the visit is a picnic, lunch can be disposed of 
 on top of the cliff north of the riding hall ; this 
 spot is very quiet and secluded and gives the 
 finest river outlook of scenery at the Point ; 
 it is easily reached by turning to the right from

 mediately after passing the riding hall ; if the 
 party are climbers, Fort Putnam is a splendid 
 place for lunch. Meals at the West Point Hotel 
 on the grounds are served at 1.00 p.m. for dinner, 
 price $1.50, and at 6.00 p.m. for tea, price |1.00; 
 and good meals they are. 
 
 Sunday visitors are not desired by the dwellers 
 at the Point ; no boats are allowed to land at the 
 wharf on Sundays, and on that day all visitors 
 must use the route via Cranstons, from Avhich place 
 there is a beautiful country road, about one mile, 
 
 \vith stages and 
 hacks for those 
 who wish to 
 ride. On week 
 days, however, 
 the routes to 
 the Point are 
 aried. The 
 Albany Day 
 Line gets 
 there at 11.50 
 a. m. and 
 leaves for 
 New York at 
 2.50 p. m., 
 excursion 
 fare $1.00, 
 one of t h e 
 most beaiiti- 
 ful all day 
 excursions in 
 the world; or 
 you can re- 
 turn by rail- 
 road as late 
 as 7.30 p.m., 
 fare 98 cents. 
 On Satur- 
 lays, during 
 the season, for $1.00, 
 the Mary Powell 
 lands you thereat 4.45 
 p.m. with a ticket to 
 return by the West 
 Shore Railroad as late 
 as 7.30 p.m., a beautiful afternoon trip. By the 
 West Shore Railroad or by the New York Central 
 you can reach the point by 9.30 a.m., fare 98 cents, 
 and return by railroad as late as 7.30 p.m., excur- 
 sion fare $1.75, or return by the Albany Day 
 Line leaving the Point at 2.50 p.m., fare seventy- 
 five cents. 
 
 There is no trip around New York that gives 
 so much solid return for the money as that to 
 West Point, and none so little known and ap- 
 preciated.

 John was one of 
 the kind that 
 found it no relief 
 to get out of a 
 crowded c i t y 
 into a still more 
 crowded s u m- 
 iiier resort. He 
 went to the 
 Grand Central Station and 
 invested in a ticket for Shef- 
 field, Mass., and after a 
 longish twilight ride he 
 reached that pretty village. 
 A farmer was waiting for 
 hiiu with u wagon, and in 
 half an hour the cosy-looking 
 lights of a house twinkled 
 out at him through the trees. 
 In a few^ moments more 
 he was relieved of his satchel 
 and was buckling into "a 
 square meal" of wholesome countrv 
 viands. After that he was ushered into 
 an airy room, clean and spacious, and 
 as he listened to the lulling whisper of 
 the wind in the trees outside he thought 
 to himself that he was in rare good luck 
 to have found a place where they had 
 not been in the habit of keeping 
 boarders. And he was. A farmer 
 rarely stays good more than three years 
 after boarders go to him. After that 
 the chance to make money blinds him 
 
 to justice and .sometimes decency. ITc cuts up 
 his best rcjoms with llini.sy jiartitions, impoverishes 
 his table, raises his jirices and cjiarges lor extras. 
 Nobody goes to that sort of man for a second time, 
 but he makes his paltry crop of hay while tiic brief 
 sunshine falls on him. 
 
 John was here for a week, and Ins bill was to 
 be $0.00. It docs not concern us much how he 
 sjient his time, though it was a good time. He 
 was up early and out all day. Sometimes he did 
 a l)il of work on the farm, to revive memories of 
 his youth — and there are young fellows who are 
 enabled in that way to knock oil a 
 little from their board bills, too. Inci- 
 dentally he got up his muscle. He 
 whipped the stream for lisli. 1 Ic roamed

 family rode over the range, 
 past Sky Farm, where tlie 
 Goodale sisters, poets, were 
 born, and picnicked at Bash 
 r.ish Falls. It was a week 
 of thorough recreation, 
 
 On the second Friday morn- 
 ing he slung his satchel over 
 his shoulder, grasped an apple 
 tree stick in hand, 
 bade farewell to 
 his entertainers 
 and set his face 
 northward. It was 
 inspiring to think 
 that the most novel 
 and adventurous 
 part of his vacation 
 was still before 
 him, and that he 
 was going to per- 
 fect his knowledge 
 of the I)eautifnl 
 Berkshire Hills. It 
 was inspiring, too, 
 to think that he 
 was widening the 
 distance between

 tired enough to put up for the night. In the morn- 
 ing, with more perfect weather to encourage 
 him— the kind of weather that makes October so 
 delightful for a vacation— he struck through 
 Lenox, beautiful and aristocratic, and a long. 
 
 Here, by the elders consent, he put up for lunch 
 and dinner. Of course he insisted on paying for 
 the accommodation, though it was only a modest 
 sum that was accepted. He 
 passed some hours in j^rotita- 
 ble study of the way in which 
 homes and farms may be run, 
 and in entertaining and instinc- 
 tive talk with the older men of 
 tlie family on the curious his- 
 tory of their order, their tenets 
 of spiritualism, celibacy and 
 communism and their eager 
 advocacy of Henry George's 
 doctrines. He was not

 West Pitlsfield, one of the homes of tlie Shakers. 
 
 prepared to find such 
 vigor of body and mind 
 among a people subsist- 
 ing on vegetable food, 
 and the order and won- 
 deiful cleanliness thai 
 prevailed everywhere, 
 aroused his admiration. 
 The abundance at the 
 table surprised him, and 
 the absence of meat and 
 tish yeemcd to be more 
 ban made good by the 
 bread, cake, pastry, 
 fruit, sauces pie- 
 serves, puddings, 
 eggs, cheese, midv, 
 coffee, tea and veg- 
 etables. They told 
 him that in their 
 quiet, temperate 
 life, assured against 
 anxiety, desertion, 
 poverty and over- 
 work, not one of 
 them ever fell vic- 
 tim to cancer or 
 blood disease, and 
 that the average of 
 their years was 
 greater than that 
 of men and w^omen 
 "in the world." 
 
 John left the vil- 
 lage with a high 
 opinion of the 
 Shakers, but with 
 no idea of becom- 
 ing one of them, passed on to the prosperous 
 Pittsfield and there took the evening train for 
 Adams, where he put up for the night. It was 
 from here that he attacked old Greylock, King 
 of the Berkshires, on the following (Sunday) 
 morning. This peak, over 3,500 feet high, is 
 approached most directly from the south, but 
 more easily from the north. John ascended the

 Or for the sake of diversity, he can go 
 'rom North Adams to Petersburg Junc- 
 tion, instead of to Albany, and return by 
 the Lebanon Springs and Harlem Railroads, 
 a picturesque and agreeable journey that in- 
 volves a slight saving, likewise. By returning on 
 this line a stop-over can be secured at Lebanon 
 Springs and a visit may be mide to the Shaker 
 settlement at ]\Iount Lebanon, the largest aud 
 most imitortant in the country. Of course, in 
 that case the West Pittsfield settlenuut can be 
 omitted.

 HOW TO SEE THE WHITE MOUNTAINS 
 
 TIS" all the countrj' east of the Rockies, no region is 
 more delightful than that of the White Moun- 
 tains. The peaks of North Carolina are a trifle 
 higher, but not shapelier, and down there one has to 
 contend with mi-erable roads, a dull jiopulation 
 and many things that are behind the times. A 
 few tine hotels do not offset the inconveniences 
 that exist everywhere ,„ 
 off the beaten path. 
 In the "White Moun- 
 tains, on the contrary, 
 one has the advantage 
 of improvements that 
 have gone on for years 
 and that without in 
 juring the natural seen 
 ery. In summer, ex- 
 tortions are practised 
 at some hotels, and a 
 few railroads and stage 
 lines charge more 
 fancy prices than any 
 others on earth, but the 
 swindles are few and 
 the tourist with good 
 legs can be independent 
 of them, if he will. The 
 best course through the 
 region is a long loop, up 
 the west side and down 
 the east. 
 
 Though one can take 
 Lis breakfast in New 
 York and his supper in 
 the Protile House, Bos- 
 ton is the better starting 
 point if one intends to 
 see the mountains sys- 
 tematically. In the ap- 
 proach from New York 
 the mind is not so well 
 prepared to understand 
 
 the magnificence of the Photos, bj W. H Kau, Philadelphia. 
 
 mountains as when one draws slowly toward them gewasset, passin 
 for a couple of days. 
 
 Leaving Boston in the morning, the traveler 
 is at Lake Winnepesaukee by noon, and gets his 
 first view of the peaks as the steamer glides over 
 this encthanting sheet. It is dotted with Islands, 
 and the heights in the distance are a constantly 
 shifting background, taking on opalescent changes 
 Avith every alternation of sunlight and shadow. 
 Center Harbor is reache<l in time for the ascent of 
 Red Hill, 2,000 feet high, tlie first of many climbs 
 that should be undertaken if one intt nds to say 
 that he has seen the uiountains. The view is less 
 
 grand tlian some which he will see later, but it 
 is charniing, for the silver waters of two lakes are 
 spread below and the natural rudeness of the land 
 is tamed bj' man. There is nothing in the English 
 lake district to equal this landscape. 
 
 Returning to Center Harbor one may stop for 
 the night in a hotel of either the first or second 
 
 class, and be well cared 
 for in either. He will 
 probably encounter 
 here the Yankee school- 
 marm and the college 
 student in their summer 
 capacity of table 
 waiters, (.lood waiters 
 they are, too ■ demure, 
 quick minded, self re- 
 specting, though will- 
 ing to accept tips. 
 There are few to whom 
 one can give a tip with 
 a better grace, becau.^e 
 it goes toward defray- 
 ing the expense of an 
 education, and the guest 
 may be tipping a future 
 President. 
 
 Now, for a time, dissolve 
 relations with the railroads 
 and strike out over the high- 
 waj's. They are good 
 enough to walk on, or drive 
 on, and even the bicycle can 
 be put over a good part of 
 them, because they follow in 
 the troughs of the rivers and 
 take the easiest grades. 
 Squam Lake, by some es- 
 teemed more beautiful than 
 Winnepesaukee, is passed so 
 near that one is impelled to 
 swim in it ; then he strikes 
 into the valley of the Pemi- 
 the old church at Holderness 
 on the w^ay. Plymouth, 14 miles from Centi r 
 Harbor, is an agreeable stopping place. It has a 
 sad interest fiom the death of Hawthorne, prince 
 of American novelists, alone and in his sleep in a 
 room at the leading hotel. Mount Prospect, over 
 2,000 feet high, stands near and offers an extended 
 view to whoever has the time to take it. 
 
 Turning northward there is a straight road for 
 25 miles, the hills closing in higher and nearer as 
 we go along. The incri ase in grandeur keeps the 
 dullest alert and enthusiastic, and as high ground 
 is gained the air refines into something more

 Still plodding north- '

 the hardest times he 
 ever had in his life. 
 There are two paths 
 leading from Fabyans, 
 but tiny are nearly 
 obliterated. It costs 
 about a dollar a mile 
 lo ride, but it is worth 
 it to ones legs. 
 
 Time permitting, it is 
 better not to go to Fabyans, 
 but to diverge near the Twin 
 ]\Iountain House and walk 
 past the Pri'sidential range 
 to Jefferson. The views 
 from that villa.ire are strik- 
 ing and tluy are best appre- 
 ciated from Mount Starr 
 King, which is easily climbed 
 in two hours. The Wilder- 
 ness seen from its toi> is 
 dark and vast. A .irood 
 road leads from Jefferson to the Glen, the deep 
 rift that detaches the Carter range from the Pres- 
 idential peaks, passing close under the castel- 
 lated heigiits of Madison and Adams, and tlie 
 Glen House is a favorable starting point tor 
 i\Iomit Washington by stage or afoot up tlie 
 road, or afoot throu.gh Tuckerman's ravine. The 
 climb through the ravine is recommended to all of

 good legs and sound wind. It reveals scenery as 
 gloomily grand as most of that in Colorado, and 
 until late in summer the incipient glacier cradled 
 there, and known as the snow arch will be found 
 intact. The scramble over the rough boulders and 
 along the ledges is difficult but not dangerous 
 and the way is marked by dabs of paint. 
 
 Whichever route is taken to the peak, and 
 there are others that lead over tlie northern and 
 southern wings of the range, the traveler is advised 
 to keep to beaten paths, unless the weather is 
 good. His climb is facilitated by the marks and 
 guide boards of the Appalachian Club. The fogs 
 that close over the top of the mountain are 
 dangerous to the inexperienced, and more than 
 one person has left 
 his bones on these 
 savage slopes as a 
 monument of his 
 rashness. The view 
 from the top ot 
 Washington is tre- 
 mendous in extent, 
 but it is all so tar 
 below that it is flat- 
 tened to the sem- 
 blance of a map. 
 The hotel on top 
 charges $5.00 a

 With awe and 
 
 delight if one can remain on the moiuitain until 
 morning. He seems pretty close to the sky, and 
 the sunset and sunrise are glorious, if the weather 
 allows them to be seen. 
 
 The Crawford bridle path by which the descent 
 should be made, is a trail leading for 8)4 miles 
 down tlie bare, windy southern peaks, edging 
 terrific gulfs, and olfers one of the most inspiring 
 walks in the world, until the descent of Mount 
 Clinton is begun, when the walker plunges into a 
 forest and tramps for three miles down an exas- 
 perating steep over bog, corduroy and rock, 
 emerging at the Crawford House. Here he is at 
 the gate of the Notch chiseled by the Saco, which 
 has its birth at the foot of Mount Clinton, and 
 
 the view of this immense canon, half a mile deep, 
 should be taken from the top of Mount Willard, 
 a crag that overiiangs it and is easily reached. 
 On the left are the precipices of Mount Webster 
 and opposite are the tremendous slides of Mount 
 Willey. The walk through the Notch can be 
 made either by the road— beautiful but closed in 
 by trees —or by the railroad track, which is \mvd 
 going and risky on tlie trestles, but yielding a 
 wider outlook. A pause can be made at the Wil- 
 ley House, scene of the tragedy of 1826. Below 
 Bemis the trees and low hills close out the sight 
 of the principal mountains. We see them again 
 if we run up to Jackson, in the southern open- 
 ing of the Glen, but North Conway, "a suburb 
 
 of paradise " is the 
 ol)jective point of 
 most of the tour- 
 ists, because of its 
 comfortable hotels, 
 agreeal)le drives 
 and city society. 
 
 There is much 
 (lancing and tennis 
 playing and fa.sh 
 ionable fol-de-rol 
 here, but the elm 
 grown intervales 
 are lovely, the hills 
 are beautiful, the 
 m a i n range, fif- 
 teen miles away, 
 stretches along the 
 northern horizon 
 like a sleeping lion, 
 as Starr King 
 phrases it in his 
 book on the White 
 hills — a book that evei'j'one should read 
 before going into the mountains, or 
 while traveling through them. Kiar- 
 sarije is readily ascended from this 
 village and the prospect from its sum- 
 mit is more impiessive than that from 
 Washington, because it has Washington 
 itself as focus of the view. The 
 roughest climb of all is that of Chocorua, a dozen 
 miles away in air line and only 8,540 feet high, 
 but a terror for steepness and the most Alpine in 
 form of all. 
 
 Incidentally, on this tour, one sees exquisite 
 cascades and lakes. If the vacation is long 
 enough the ascent of a dozen peaks may be 
 attempted, and the wild, far away Dixville notch, 
 with its crumbling bastions, will allure the more 
 adventurous. A week, however, suffices for a 
 glance at the leading points of interest, and one 
 who enjoys walking need not exceed $35.00 for 
 the trip, outside of railroad fares ; the railroad 
 fares from and to Boston would be about $7.00 ; 
 between New York and Boston by rail or boat.

 said to his friend. "I wish we could get out of

 "The earih is not made for such fellows as you 
 and I," interrupted Archie. "I'm nearly as tired 
 of the park, with its ciowds and its ' K( ep off the Grass '

 Archie remarked,

 "By George! The

 The weather was still warm, but the morning had 
 a delightful freshness in it, and after landing tiicy 
 walked nimbly up tlie dusty way and sought the 
 foot of the cliil's by short cuts to the ndrlhwarti. 
 The sward wore tlie emerald of early summer, the 
 trees were in full green, birds were singing in the 
 branches and gulls were crying from tue river 
 that sjiread broad and blue beside them. Al)ove 
 was the edge of the crag with its modern, shabby, 
 disused summer-houses tliat mark the site of the 
 revolutionary fort, and the sleep riverward slope 
 was half masked in shrubbery. IMasses of rock, 
 tons in weight, lay piled upon this slope, and as they 
 advanced they found the tive-tiuger still a-bloom, a colum- 
 bine was nodding from a ledge, wild mustards were putting 
 out their yellow crosses, the buttercups were budding and 
 the chamomile was in rivalry with the daisy in its spread 
 of white and gold. A 
 sliy, belated violet peep- 
 ed from a shadow, and 
 in a spongy hollow the 
 fantastic shapes of jack- 
 in-the-pulpit reared 
 themselves. Delicate 
 ferns and velvet moss 
 spread a coolness over 
 the earth, and the air 
 was full of perfume. 
 Yet, just across the 
 river, the city seethed 
 and smoked and the air 
 seemed to quiver above 
 its red masses of build- 
 ing and its barren, rub- 
 bish-filled lots. 
 
 "Great Scott!" ex- 
 claimed Archie. "To 
 think we've been living 
 in that town for the last 
 eight years and have 
 never known of this 
 place before !" 
 
 The Palisades are a trap dyke, a result of vol- 
 canic energy. Occasionally one finds columnar 
 forms there, as in Fingal's Cave in Stnflfa, and the 
 more famous Giant's Causeway in Ireland, which 
 are the same in their origin. The clilfs of trap 
 are twenty miles long, fronting on the river, and 
 the dyke is about two miles thick. As to depth, 
 perhaps it goes down to the centre of the earth. 
 The height of the cliffs is from 200 to 500 feet, 
 their base buried in talus to a depth of 100 feet 
 or more. 
 
 A road runs along the top of the Palisades, but 
 as it is often at a remove from the edge and is 
 partlj'^ masked by trees, the breadth and beauty 
 of the view are only revealed through openings 
 in the foliage. Along the foot of the crags, how- 
 ever, runs a path which at one point broadens 
 into a road, going nowhere and ending in nothing, 
 and sometimes interrupted by masses of stone or 
 
 fallen trunks; and it was this paHi that secnicq 
 to oiler to our adventurers the best jjrospect for 
 a walk. Tiie outlook is more conlined tlian fnjm 
 tlie top, but the view of tlie I'alisades themselves 
 is more n.manlie. It is not all solitary. There 
 are powder magaziuts and a landing pier; there 
 is a stone crusher with a si|ii;did Italian settle- 
 ment about it; tii(r(; is ;ui Irislmiiin's cabin wilh 
 a patch of "praties;" there is a melancholy de- 
 serted house, and there is an odd little hamlet at 
 the waters edge, bowered in apple blossoms iu 
 
 Pliotos. liy W. H. Ran, T'hiladolplii.T, 
 
 the spring. Farther up is the pic-nic grove 
 called Kock Side Park. But most of the way 
 the path extends through a charming solitude. 
 
 "Look!" said Archie, pointing up. "That 
 tower of rock is like a cathedral spire." 
 
 "Yes." replied Bob. "But see that immense 
 mass that stands out from the face of the cliff 
 with trees on the top, like banners. That's like 
 one of the ruined castles on the Khine, but 
 immensely bigger. " 
 
 While they stood, looking almost straight into 
 the air above them, a great bird with a wide 
 spread of wing floated into view over the top 
 of the trees and swept in wide circles against 
 the sky, seeming to symbolize iu its calm, ma- 
 jestic flight the wildness and liberty of the scene. 
 It was an eagle. An eagle, within three miles of 
 New York! 
 
 After they had gone forward, perhaps a mile,

 the friends ascended one of the longer slopes of 
 debris and reached the top of the cliff by many 
 windings. The ascent was difficult, but not per- 
 ilous, but there are places enough where the skill 
 and coolness of the Alpestrian would be required, 
 and others yet where they would be entirely 
 defied. The view from the top was broad and 
 beautiful, extending over wooded shores, the 
 Sound, East River, the Long Island coast and 
 rolling hills to the north. A lunch that was 
 wheedled from Mrs. Proggins was eaten here in 
 satisfaction and was washed down with a draught 
 from a clear, icy spring when they regained the 
 bottom, for the lack of water at the top is one 
 of the reasons why this most magnificent build- 
 ing site has remained so nearly vacant to this day. 
 A mile farther, perhaps — it seemed longer, be- 
 cause they stopped often and the way was rough 
 — a little cove 
 ibent into the 
 rich shadow of 
 the woods, and 
 a beach overlaid 
 some half sub- 
 merged ridges of 
 sandstone. Tide 
 Tvas running up, 
 and the pebbles 
 ■chimed in the 
 roll of the waves. 
 Nobody insight. 
 The invitation 
 was not to be 
 resisted; the 
 young men 
 whipped off 
 their clothes and 
 sprang into the 
 water, and did 
 not resume their 
 
 tramp until after a long loaf en deshabille 
 bath cooled them and the sun was now behind the 
 wall of rock, so that they could walk without dis 
 ■ comfort. They caught a glimpse of St. Michael's 
 Home, perched on the heights above them, and they 
 liad a tough scramble across the debris which had 
 Ijeen hurled down by daily blasts at the crusher, 
 then the path led down into a romantic amphitheatre 
 walled around with dark precipices. Here is a 
 road wending to the summit by many a tack 
 and zig-zag, from a rotting wharf past a rotting 
 summer-house and a brawling cascade to the site 
 of the Palisade Mountain House, which was burned 
 some years ago, but while this road invited to 
 new prospects, it look them back to civilization, 
 and that they wanted to avoid. 
 
 Every rod of the way had its charm, and every 
 Lour invested the distance with a fresh delight 
 of color. A little stone school house was passed 
 — where did they find scholars for it V — then a 
 .tiny farm. Another scar of a big blast, with 
 
 
 
 Their 
 
 derricks for lowering the stone into boats that 
 would remove them to New York for conver- 
 sion into pavements, checked them for a moment; 
 still they .sauntered on, gathering pebbles to cast 
 into the brine, stopping to examine curious bits 
 of wreckage from the tide, watching the evolu- 
 tions of a couple of yachts on the river, picking- 
 flowers that withered too soon, and rapturously 
 inhaling the fragrance that was borne from other 
 blossoms on the passing winds. 
 
 The air was clearing, and Y'onkers began to 
 show in a glory of afternoon light that deepened 
 with every hour until the city on the hill seemed 
 almost to blaze with saffron and crimson. Passing 
 schooners took on this color, too, and the steam 
 of a locomotive on the opposite shore became a 
 vapor of rose. Ever the lofty, lonely cliffs upon 
 the west, growing darker and more solemn as 
 
 the day waned ; 
 ' ever the silver 
 : water with its 
 ; shelly play of 
 tint on their 
 other hand, sep- 
 arating them 
 from the culti- 
 vated shores on 
 the east. 
 
 After some 
 wanderings they 
 brought up at 
 the fishing ham- 
 let of East Al- 
 pine, or Cape 
 F 1 y a w^ a y — a 
 name that goes 
 back to the time 
 when moonshine 
 whiskey was 
 made a m o n g 
 these rocks — and Bob was startled, on looking at 
 his watch, to discover that it was five o'clock. 
 "It's a sin to go back," .said he, "but it must be 
 done. Moreover, I don't mind confessing that 
 the air and the ramble have given me an appetite 
 for Mrs Proggins' prunes and lioliday mutton." 
 "We can return by tramping up the old road, 
 back there, and striking over to Engiewood, where 
 we can take a train ; or we can get one of these 
 fishermeii to carry us across to Mount St. Vincent 
 and catch a train on the Central." 
 
 "The sail would be more romantic and would 
 give us a little more variety," urged Bob. So 
 they descended on the hamlet and soon arranged 
 with a tall, weathered young mariner to take 
 them across the river. His cat-boat was presently 
 spinning over the crisp waves, and the great 
 wall of rock stretched wider into view as they 
 increased their distance from it- wider and more 
 majestic. They were put ashore at the station 
 and ten minutes later, as their car swung around

 the bend at Spiiyten Diiyvil Crock they took a 
 long look at the scene wliieh had aeijuired a 
 aiew interest in their eyes. "It's as fine as a 
 ■day in the Adirondai'ks." declared Archie. 
 "Better, for it's not so hackneyed." 
 "And cost us— how nuich apiece?" 
 "llui ! There was five cents on the ' L' road," 
 :said J5ol), "and ten cents to Fort Lee by ferry, 
 twenty-five cents to the cat-boat man, and twenly- 
 «i.x cents fare to the city; sixty-si.x cents all 
 told, and well spent." 
 
 They complimented Mrs. Proffcrins on her dinner 
 that niu-ht, a thing they had never done before, 
 and shocked her so that she agreed to have their 
 bed-room chairs mended that very week. They 
 did not realize that the dinner tasted good be- 
 cause it had the sauce of an hitherto unknown 
 
 hunger ac(iuired in a days tussle witli the founda- 
 tions of the Palisades— one (.f the finest bits of 
 natural scenery on the planet. 
 
 I'os/srr/pf. — After reading tlie above article two 
 of the clerks m tiie publisher's ofiice set out to 
 test the possibilities of the trip and to get some 
 photographs with wiiich to illustrate h. Tiiey

 at the north end, failed U> seciu-e the "Lout; 
 Fisherman" to ferry them across the river and 
 were compelled to scale the precipitous heigjits 
 in order to return to the city. They caught the 
 train at Englewood and reached their home in 
 whole condition. One of the; two liad been a 
 sergeant in the British army, was present at Tel- 
 el-Kebir and at Majuba Jlill and he don't hesi- 
 tate to say that a few such outinirs as "A Day

 most any experience. 
 
 CAMPING OUT. 
 
 ^^XE camps out for business occasionally, but 
 more camp out for fun. The best fun. in 
 the eud, is to camp as if for business. ]Maine 
 lumbermen and Adirondack hunters use sense in 
 building their shelters. They insist on neither 
 pictures nor bnissels carpets for their apartments, 
 uor do they invite rheiunatism and pneumonia 
 by sleeping in ;ui 
 alleged shelter that 
 is all drafts and is 
 pervious to rain. 
 The style of camp 
 to be erected must 
 be determined by 
 season, accessibility 
 to town and dura- 
 tion of stay. En- 
 thusiasts now hunt 
 in the northern for- 
 ests in midwinter, 
 and of course thev 
 must have a weather 
 proof hut of logs or 
 boards covered with 
 tar paper. For the 
 neighborhooil of 
 New York, in the 
 summer, something 
 lighter and cheaper 
 suffices. A tent or 
 two is good enough 
 and is easily carried. 
 For a shm't stay a 
 
 lean-to made of bark, sapliuL'^s or boughs will do. 
 The Adirondack "open camp" is only a modification 
 of this. For an outing of a week or more a frame 
 
 of ])oles can be si)eedily erected, and it can be 
 closed against the weather by canvas, boards, 
 hemlock boughs or a combination of all, with 
 moss and nuid to stop the chinks. Wood and 
 water are necessities. 
 
 There is no lack of good ground within easy 
 reach of New "^'ork. The (^iiiet {)()uds of New

 the Palisades of the Hudson ? About opposite 
 Spuyten Duyvil they arc as lonely as the St. 
 Lawrence as i)icturesque as Lake George, as ad- 
 mirably arranged for boating, hshing and bathing 
 as Newport, as interesting in 
 their flora as any part of the 
 state, and as inac- 
 cessible to the dis- 
 turbing multitude 
 as Barren Island. 
 Nobody goes there 
 and there are charm- 
 ing knolls and natu- 
 ral lawns, circled 
 with evergreens, 
 handy to dead wood 
 and other fuel, con- 
 venient to springs, 
 
 some of which may 
 
 need a little clear- 
 ing, to be sure, and, 
 
 for all this, but a 
 
 two mile row or a 
 
 tAvo mile walk to 
 
 civilization. That 
 
 last advantage will 
 
 be thought a detri- 
 ment by most peo- 
 ple who prefer 
 
 camp to a boarding 
 
 house. Nobody, for 
 
 instance, would 
 
 dream of tenting in 
 
 his own back yard, 
 
 though he would be 
 
 sure to be more 
 
 comfortable there 
 
 than in the wilder- 
 ness. There would 
 
 be no adventure, 
 
 you see, no strange- 
 ness, novelty, ex 
 
 citement. 
 If camping is to 
 
 be only an incident 
 
 in a journey, the 
 
 house will l)e a mere 
 
 cover for the night. 
 
 In the West, wbere rains are light, 
 
 the prospector carries little more 
 
 than his blanket, rifle, pick, 
 
 matches and food. If he has a 
 
 burro he can take a little more. 
 
 In the eastern wilds this outfit is 
 
 a pretty good basis, and when 
 
 divided among a party of three, fi.ur or five 
 
 does not burden any of them heavily, even when 
 
 there is added a hatchet, rul)ber coats, pail, 
 
 kettle, fryiug-i)an, coflfee-pot, and eating utensils. 
 
 The use of aluminum for cooking utensils olfers 
 
 a decided iiain 
 
 ni 
 
 durability, cleanliness and shaped edifice of bark 
 
 lightness over tin and iron. A cooking outfit 
 for six is made especially for hunters. It packs, 
 into a box less than a foot square and com- 
 prises fifty-seven articles that nest into each other. 
 If the nights be free from rain there 
 is no need to erect even a shelter. A pro- 
 jecting ledge, a tree 
 with heavy foliage, 
 a few strips of bark 
 slanted against a 
 rock or a bough are 
 often enough, any 
 way, especially if 
 the sleepers have a 
 fire going at their 
 feet. Again, in 
 countries where 
 hunters, miners, and 
 lumbermen resort, 
 there is often to be 
 found a deserted 
 cabin with a fairly 
 tight roof. As these 
 cabins, however, are 
 common!}'' foul with 
 mouldy boots, fungi 
 and old cans, and 
 as they suggest pos- 
 sibilities of vermin, 
 a bed of leaves or 
 hemlock boughs is 
 preferable. 
 
 Arrived at the 
 ]dace where it is 
 intended to settle 
 for some days, the 
 advantages of the 
 spot in respect of 
 hunting, fishing, 
 boating, bathing, 
 scenery and the like 
 having been re- 
 viewed, let it be 
 assured that the 
 habitation will 
 stand on a slight 
 rise, so that in case 
 of rain the water will not 
 reach its occupants. A 
 slope to drain the water is 
 desirable and hollows are 
 to be avoided for that rea- 
 son. If you are to be under 
 canvas — and you can hire 
 a tent, you know, or 
 use a sail, if you don't want to go in heavy — 
 two uprights and a ridge pole are all the car- 
 penter work that is necessary. Dig a small gut- 
 ter about the tent for drainage. A log house 
 is better if your stay is to be long. A tent- 
 ion g the feasible

 put up. Or a combination ol' logs, bark and 
 canvas can be employed. 
 
 A rustic-looking structure is made by marking 
 ■off a square space, driving a stout upright a^t 
 each corner, tacking and tying half a dozen 
 poles to each pair, thus eluding in tlic li 
 except on the side wiiere the

 the interstices with boughs, 
 rushes or both. The back 
 pair of uprigiits can be made 
 liigher tlian the front, or vice 
 versa, so tliat the roof shall 
 liave a slant to shed rain.

 Except a shelf of

 this is about all 
 the furnishing 
 that is needed.

 always extinguish the last spark before leaving 
 camp in the morning. Carelessness in these mat- 
 ters costs this nation many lives and millions of 
 dollars every year, while the burning away of the 
 forests dries up the water sources and blasts the 
 face of the country. 
 
 If farms are near at hand, or shops not too 
 far off, it will be easy to keep the table sup- 
 plied with fruits, fresh milk and vegetables ; if 
 not, the outfit must be taken into the wood in 
 bulk. Flour, crackers, bacon, potatoes, rice, 
 coffee, tea, salt, pepper and sugar are stand-bys, 
 and milk and other luxuries must be taken in cans. 
 Never keep loaded firearms about, and let the am- 
 munition be away from the fire and the risk of jar 
 and friction. Flies and mosquitoes and the pesky 
 little " no-see-'um-heap-feel-'ums " may disturb the 
 repose of the company, and sometimes a snuidge 
 of dami3 leaves is necessary to secure relief. A 
 bit of mosquito netting for doors and windows, 
 bags of the same stuff to slip over the head, 
 and gloves for the hands are occasionally useful, 
 but Avhen tramping or fishing, the face and hands 
 are protected, for an hour at a time, by a slight 
 anointing with a mixture of tar, pennyroyal and 
 vaseline. 
 
 Be sure that the outfit comprises a few good 
 books or magazines, for a rainy or foggy daj- 
 in the woods is dismal indeed. Make some 
 arrangement at the nearest post otHce or tele- 
 graph station for the forwarding of important 
 messages. 
 
 But volumes of suggestions will not make up 
 for lack of adaptability to circumstances in the 
 camp. You must have gumption, and a willing- 
 ness to take things as they c ime to you . Ask 
 some old soldier for advice. He will tell you thfit, 
 in a rain, three fence rails will make a bed under 
 which the water will run, narrow to be sure, 
 but much more comfortable than a wet sod; he 
 will tell you how to keep a fire alive for day 
 and night; how a fry-pan, properly handled, will 
 serve a whole meal; in short, he will tell you of 
 many things that he never anticipated, but ar- 
 ranged for as they caiue; and so must the 
 camper. 
 
 For a few days trip everything necessary can 
 be carried from home, except food and water. 
 The writer was fortunate in having a teacher 
 who was an older sort of boy. He once pro- 
 posed to three of us larger school-boys to take 
 to the woods for two nights. For each, a good 
 heavy blanket, a large towel, a bit of soap. 
 extra socks and handkerchiefs, and such other 
 little things as we each thought necessary; for 
 general use, a hatchet, an old-fashioned bowie 
 knife or the like, some matches, a couple of cups 
 and canteens, a few nails, some stout cord, etc., 
 &c. ; the whole divided into loads convenient for 
 each of the party. We went to Cold Spring, on 
 the Hudson; hired a row-boat, crossed the river 
 
 to the valley or basin that lies between Cro' Nest, 
 and Storm King. It was an almost unbrokeru 
 wilderness; only one farm-house and a path west- 
 ward over the mountain. We secured, and left 
 the boat on the shore, shouldered our loads;, 
 ftnnid in the woods a small clearing, in Avhich 
 one made a fire, while the others gathered the- 
 smaller branches of the hemlock, and with larger- 
 boughs, nails and cord made a shelter and bed 
 under a wide-spreading low-branched tree. We- 
 were too tired to linger long after nightfall 
 around the fire, and wrapped in oiu* blankets, witli 
 handkerchiefs around our heads, we slept the 
 sweetest sleep of our lives on the deep piled, fra- 
 grant bed. We woke the echoes, at the first 
 break of day, and long before mid-morn had 
 scaled the ledges of Storm King to its summit, 
 where we stood above the morning mist that 
 filled the depths below us; the brilliant summer 
 sun Avas shining down upon a field of hummocky 
 snoAv — a sight never to be forgotten. A breeze 
 from the north soon carried off the fleecy mass- 
 below and the magnificent A'alley Avas disclosed, a 
 vieAV beautiful beyond description. The afternoon 
 Avas spent on the river, and in the CA'ening Ave- 
 persuaded the good people of the only house, to- 
 furnish us enough bread, eggs, milk, &c., for sup- 
 per and breakfast, spent the night at our camp, 
 and in the morning recrossed the river and re- 
 turned home. Our food in the Avoods Avas chiefly 
 packed at home, re-inforced by a fcAV things, 
 bought at Cold Spring and at the farm-house. 
 It Avas an inexpensive outing, croAvded Avith ex- 
 periences and sensations absolutely ncAv and novel, 
 and beneficial and pleasurable in every Avay. 
 
 A large camping p irty is a matter of business.

 reviving power of such a life for a Aveek or two. 
 The parties shoAvn are both "Clubs," Avhich have,

 as an average summer boarding-house. They are

 Pond near NcAvfoundland, Avhere there is a table 
 supply of fish waiting to be caught. The ex- 
 penses of the party of eight persons for ten days, 
 profiting, of course, by their past experiences is, 
 for each adult, about twenty cents a day for 
 victuals and forty cents a day for ice, boats^ 
 drinks and expenses; abundance of good whole- 
 some food to eat. 
 
 Camping out is not for invalids, or for tender 
 or timorous souls. There are times Avhen, Avithia 
 a fcAV liours, the air is dry and Avet, hot and cold, 
 changes that make it better that an invalid be- 
 Avell housed. And there are moments in the si- 
 lent, ghostly Avatches of the night, Avhen a mov- 
 ing insect, or rustling bough, or moaning zephyr, 
 or the melancholy hoot of an oavI, Avill raise the 
 hair and stop the lite-current of a timid listener. 
 
 Camp life is for the lusty and active and ro- 
 bust, Avith good appetites and good temper and 
 good sense, and for such there is an immense re- 
 turn for the investment.

 'T'nERE is uo reason why Vermont slinnld not 
 *■ be made more of tlian it is. New Hamp- 
 shire outdoes it in the iieiniit of its mountains, 
 Maine in tlie extent of its forests, New York in 
 the area of its tmitivated districts, Canachi in 
 liunting antl tisllin^• and New Jersey in water 
 front, ])ut Vermont combines these tliini^-s in 
 moderation and adds a certain iiomcly \\\'f ami 
 idyllic beauty that are almost i>;'cuiiar to it. 
 People who are 
 in tlie habit of 
 going tliere re- 
 turn tlianks that 
 it has not become 
 fasliionable, and 
 therein is one of 
 its best delights. 
 The Green 
 Mountain state 
 is proba])ly. for 
 its size, the most 
 tliinly settled 
 and poorest in 
 aggregate capi- 
 tal of the Atlan- 
 tic c o m m o n - 
 wealths; yet, no- 
 wliere will be 
 found rural com- 
 munities more 
 industrious, in- 
 telligent and 
 thrifty. There 
 are few wage 
 workers and few 
 tenants. To the 
 tourist every 
 township has at- 
 tractions of its 
 own. Vermont 
 is for folk of 
 moderate means 
 and quiet tastes. 
 Such will be de- 
 hglited with tlie 
 ([uiet farms on Lake Champlain witli the Alle- 
 ghanies on the east and Adimndacks glooming 
 across the water ; tliey will be charmed with tlie 
 valley of the Connecticut, with gentle hills bend- 
 ing toward it on either side ; tliej' will admire 
 the pretty lakes, like Dunmore and Memphre- 
 magog, and wikl rivers like the Bhick, White and

 So mucli talk was ma(h' a few years ago about 
 the dangers incurred by the wholesale, cutting 
 away of the timber that a commission was sent 
 out to estimate the loss sustained in that respect, 
 in ten years. 'l"o every ones surprise, il was 
 lound that tlie forests had actually increased. So, 
 
 if yon want 
 camping or any 
 other manner of 
 rough life, Ver- 
 mont is as g(K)d 
 a State as any, 
 while if quiet i.s 
 sought, it is ob- 
 tainable in any 
 one of a thous- 
 and farm houses 
 where hoi'des of

 not yet spoiled 
 the people.

 you have to wait at a station. Alway.s travel 
 witli a book. Also, use your eyes. Humanity is 
 frequently as interesting as books, and rare speci- 
 mens of it are found in a country depot. But 
 you want to roam about a little. Perhaps you 
 are fond of botany or minerals. Anyhow, you 
 want to see the "fall" that gives the name to the 
 place— a forty foot plunge of the Connecticut, 
 down a narrow gorge. Here the water is so 
 compressed that one writer. Rev. Hugh Peters 
 who, no doubt, be- 
 lieved what he said , 
 declared that a 
 crowbar could not 
 be driven into it ! 
 If there is time, a 
 scramble up the W 
 steep and ledgy 
 Mount Kilburn 
 will satisfy the 
 fondness for adven- 
 ture, but the time 
 may also be spent 
 in getting ahead of 
 the railroad com- 
 pany. 
 
 As it will be four 
 hours before you 
 can leave on the 
 cars, you can ram- 
 ble ahead on foot 
 to Bartonsville (ten 
 miles) and take 
 your supper in one 
 of the quaintest old 
 taverns in the 
 State, where they 
 probably do not 
 receive a dozen 
 guests a year. Let 
 us suppose that 
 you are then re- 
 vived, or are still 
 fresh, and resolve 
 to plod on about 
 four miles to Ches- 
 ter. It is a com- 
 fortable little town 
 hotel. The walk

 Chester is, and has a good 
 is delightful, roads a trifle 
 rough, may be, but outlooks worth the labor; 
 tokens of rural thrift and content abundant ; cold 
 springs to drink from and berries to pick ; the 
 air full of healing odors of pine and spruce : 
 flowers nod along the wayside and the rising 
 breeze is cool. You hear the cow-bells clanking 
 in the valley as the herds go home, and a peace- 
 ful sound of waters drones through the evening. 
 Dusk falls, lights appear, you are in Chester. 
 
 Take the train next morning and go ten miles 
 to Cavendish, there to explore the passage of 
 Black River, through a canon half a mile long. 
 
 Never heard of it '? So much the better. It will 
 be the pleasanter surprise, for it is one of the 
 most romantic bits of scenery in the State. No- 
 tice the caves, balconies, fallen ledges, and the 
 pot holes where boulders, whirled around in ed- 
 dies, have cut deep wells into the living rock. 
 Then, on to Proctorsville, thirty minutes walk, 
 still following the railroad, and dine at the an- 
 cient Eagle tavern. A lovely village, this, with 
 in elm sown intervale like those in the White 
 
 ^Mountains, and the 
 hills ranged at 
 what artists will 
 tell you is land- 
 scape distance; big, 
 blue billows on the 
 west, the Alpine 
 form of Ascutney

 is the meaning of 
 the name — on the 
 east, and minor 
 heights closing on 
 the other sides. 
 
 After d inner 
 make a leisurely 
 ascent of Fletchers 
 Hill and enjoy the 
 wide and exquisite 
 prospect, or visit 
 the '•Gulf" to the 
 south — a dark val- 
 ley, a thousand feet 
 deep, like the 
 cloves of the Cats- 
 kills and notches 
 of the White Moun- 
 tains, but narrow- 
 er. Geologists tell 
 us that it was the 
 scene of a cata- 
 clysm when a great 
 lake burst through 
 the mountain dam. 
 The hamlet of 
 Proctorsville has, 
 ])erha]is, two hun- 
 
 dred and flfty inhabitants, but it has three churches, 
 a good school, several industries and a public 
 library. Two governors were born here. 
 
 Ludlow is three miles farther northwest, and 
 the mountains impend upon it more steeply. It 
 is a town of consequence, and boarders are a 
 shade too numerous. But pause here long 
 enough to visit Plymouth ponds. Drive out — 
 for livery charges are low — and think how the 
 populace would swarm about these little lakes, 
 chained through the deep valley of the Black, 
 if they were within twenty miles of the metro- 
 polis. Though not so large, they are as fair as 
 famed Killarney. There is a gold mine close by.

 But climb Camels Hump, or, better yet, its lof-

 Here is a double peak, commanding a glorious 
 view. It is the tallest of the Green Mountains, 
 4,348 feet high; equal to the average of the Adi- 
 rondacks and Wliite Moiuitains, but having the 
 advantage which 
 they do not pos- 
 sess, of com^Dara-

 by stage from

 people often en-

 to begin. There are able-bodied fellows, wide 
 awake, appreeiative of the beauties of nature, 
 fond of exercise, not timid, who are always go- 
 ing to take a pedestrian tour as soon as John 
 and James and Thomas can leave town at the 
 same time and help tlicm to take it. In most 
 
 oases that time _ 
 
 never comes. [ 
 When the date ar- 
 rives for starting, 
 John has decided 
 that he would 
 rather go yacht- 
 ing, James has 
 concluded that as 
 it begins to look 
 like work, he will 
 sojourn easily at 
 a summer hotel, 
 and T h o m a s " 
 youngest boy has 
 measles; so tin- 
 original projectoi- 
 meekly gives it up 
 and goes to sonir 
 resort where he 
 ■can be in a crowil 
 and dress and 
 dance and flirl 
 away his leisure. 
 
 Of course, it is 
 pleasant if a few 
 ■congenial spirits 
 ■can take an out- 
 ing together, ant 
 it is iustructi vc 
 too ; for the lirst 
 two or three days 
 ■of such a walk 
 give a man a bet- 
 ter idea of his 
 friends than he 
 will have obtained 
 in years of con- 
 ventional town 
 life. Some, that 
 Jiave appeared dull 
 l)efore, bubble 
 with jollit}' under 
 the inspiration of 
 fresh mornings 
 and pleasant scene- 
 ry ; some that he 
 thought unin- 
 formed prove to 
 l)e dictionaries of knowledge about the things 
 that are met and seen ; .some are amiable and 
 self-sacriticing, gladly falling in with the views 
 of the majority, even when opposed to their 
 personal wishes, and some are practically helpful 
 by their strength and " haudiness." There are 
 
 1 
 
 offsets to men like this, in the fellow who wants 
 the others to do as he likes — to rise, eat, sleep, 
 rest and go forward when he is moved to do 
 so ; in the scolder and fault finder ; in the one 
 who nurses his liver or his blisters and always 
 desires the others to lioM back for him, making 
 
 them late every 
 night, and com- 
 pelling them to eat 
 cold dinners: in 
 the cheerful man 
 Avith plenty of 
 money who, \\n- 
 consciously, makis 
 himself a thorn in 
 the sides of his 
 poorer comrades 
 )y ordering the 
 lest rooms, tipping 
 servants liberally, 
 having exjieusive 
 wines with his 
 meals, smoking 
 costly cigars and 
 otherwise setting 
 a pace that the 
 others cannot follow, 
 or, if he asks them to 
 share his benefits, giving them a 
 fear that they are the 
 victims of a respectable 
 charity ; in the delight- 
 ful enthusiast who 
 wants to stop every 
 few minutes t o 
 sketch, or botanize, 
 or catch fish, and 
 who would not get 
 ahead five miles a 
 day if he were 
 alone. 
 
 So, considering 
 what chances one 
 takes with a party, 
 it is a question if 
 a man does not get 
 on better by him- 
 self or, perhaps, 
 with one com- 
 panion — his bosom 
 friend, his brother 
 or his wife. Do 
 not be surprised 
 that a wife should 
 e m e n t i o n e d . 
 There is an editor in New 
 York whose wife goes off with him on tramps 
 where they put thirty-five miles a day behind 
 them. A dog is a pretty good chum for steady 
 company, and one seldom quarrels with him, 
 while he has an unfailing supply of good spirits. 
 
 This is woman's age.

 Personal freedom is one of tlie first eharnis 
 of a pedestrian tonr, and the nearer alone one is, 
 or the more tmanimous he is with his environ- 
 ment, tlie li'reater will tlial freedom l)e. 'I"he 
 feeling of solitude that may ojipress iiini a liltie 
 at first, rapidly disappears it a man's luad lias 
 anytliinsi' inside of it. for then he is reasonably 
 svii'e to tind good eoinjiany before tlie second day 
 is over — and there are many of us who would be 
 the better for a chance like this to gel ac(iuainted 
 with ourselves. Beside, the sense and wit of the 
 people that lie meets are as likely to be pleasant 
 and prolitable as the talk of his friends. There 
 is an objection to fandliarity with strangers, but 
 while this holds well enough on a race track, oral 
 the places called "pleasure resorts" few of us 
 can say that we ever met a farmer wiio would 
 abuse a contidenc(! or take an unjust advantage of 
 a stranger. Considered as a class, the men who till 
 our fields, though they ai'e sometimes illiterate, 
 often rough and usually poor, are as frank and 
 honest as the sunshine. A lift of a couple of miles 
 in the wagon of some gninger who is going your 
 way is a pleasant break in the days ])rogress. and 
 if there is rormi (m the seat beside him, it will al- 
 most invariably be offered. In this res])ect our 
 countryman is a great improvement on the Euro- 
 pean peasant. The latter is a soggy personage, 
 without the eagerness of mind that inspires the 
 Yankee to acquire new friends and new ideas, and 
 with no sense of hospitality. He would like to 
 know something about America, to be sure, bul, 
 unless yon tell him what he exjx'cts to hear, he 
 has a poor opinion of your veracity. 
 
 The Ann'rican farmer reads a paper and can 
 talk intelligently on public questions. There is 
 a missionary work to be done with him in the 
 matter of getting good roads through his town- 
 ship ; he wants to have it made plain to him 
 that a little more money and work would be 
 ec<momy in the end, for broad, smooth high- 
 ways will not cripple his stock nor his wagon. 
 
 The lirst day of the lirst pedestrian tour 1 
 ever made, furnished me with sundry object 
 lessons in the art of how not to make roads. 
 It was along the Connecticait Valley, during a 
 heavy freshet. 3Iy first days trami) Avas from 
 Hartford to Holyoke--about Ihirty-four miles by 
 road, but a long forty by the way I had to 
 o-o — a stiff days work, for a novice, and whew ! 
 didn't my bones ache that night ! A good part 
 of the way it was fair going, but when the 
 road ran into hollows, that were now tilled with 
 water, I was forced to make long detours or to 
 cross by bojit. Had the builders maintained 
 the grade of the mad, they not only would 
 have kept it open for travel al times of such 
 inundation, but the embankment across these 
 glens would have served as a dike, to keep the 
 water from spreading into the fields behind it 
 
 and Hooding Ihe cellars of houses that liad been 
 built there. The severe rains had overllowed the 
 brooks, and as I coiilinued norlliward I ])assed 
 the ruins of dozens of lliinsy bridges, laid over 
 the si reams at so slight an elevation as to allow 
 I'lir almost no increa'^e in the volume of water. 
 Ill |ilaces where tiie road hud been a mere make- 
 shift cuttiiiu-. between banks, liie water had made 
 an artiticial chamiel and iiad poured Ihroiigji, cul- 
 tiiig it into a V shape and making it nearly im- 
 passable fill' teams. Proper bi-eadth and lirmne.ss 
 for these I'oads, with bordering gutters, would 
 have obviated all this. The ruin anil the inter- 
 ference with business wroiight in that one fresiiet 
 was, no doubt, ten limes greater than the e.v- 
 pense would have been of guarding against it. 
 
 Tills matter is spoken of at some length, because 
 it bears on the choice of route. The pedestrian 
 does not want to get into the sort of comitry 
 tiiat has sucli roads, or is liable to liave them 
 aft<r a rain. Tiie roads in the South average 
 a little worse than tiiose in any other jiart of 
 the country. Those in the Itocky Mountain belt 
 would be worse, but they are saved from that 
 distinction by their relative dryness. Again, the 
 west is enterprising. 
 
 It was interesting, if humiliating, to coiupare 
 these country roads with others that I subse- 
 (luently traversed in England, Wales, Germany 
 and Switzerland — broad, linn, stoutly bridged 
 and wo'iderfully clean, swept, evidently, at fre- 
 ([ueiit intervals, mended promptly and freed from 
 stones, for even a pebble, the size of a hen's 
 egg. is an unusual sight, except in the little 
 l)ile collected for removal, beside the Avay. On 
 these splendid highways it is conunon to meet 
 people who travel afoot for the love of it — men, 
 women and children on vacations, students spy- 
 iuix out the land, families moving deliberately 
 from iilace to place. In the English hill and 
 lake districts you often see paterfamilias, in stout 
 brogans and velveteens, plodding sturdily with a 
 bevy of sjxirtive youths and rapturous maidens 
 about him. a vision of health and content. 
 What a jiity that we do not see the like among 
 our stately hills and idyllic vaHeys. But the 
 time will come— as the villain always says in 
 l]„. j,i;,y— for as surely as travelers make roads, 
 these roads make travelers. 
 
 If one wants to know a country, the quickest 
 way to get information is the slowest way: go 
 afoot, mix with the people, stop at their inns 
 and smoke your pipe in their kitchens. The man 
 who hurries through a region, seeing the railroad 
 stations, which are like other railroad .stations, 
 the best iiotels, wliicli are the same as the best 
 hotels the world over, and the conventional 
 museums and galleries aiul churches, gets the 
 same idea of it that he would get of an American 
 town by stopping for a day with the wealthiest

 TRAVEL AFOOT. 
 
 deacon in the place and looking through his 
 photograi^h album. One of the beauties of pe- 
 destrian travel is that little is expected of you. 
 The man who jogs about on a horse is supposed 
 to be fairly well to do ; he is charged for pre- 
 sumptive wealth, any way, and is expected to 
 present himself 
 about places of 
 public resort in 
 his Sunday clothes; 
 but the walker is 
 like the soldier, 
 his dress is the 
 only one he has, 
 and it is dignified 
 by the service it 
 represents. 
 
 Preparations for 
 a walking tour ? 
 They are few. 
 Try to leave home 
 with money 
 enough to get 
 back, and plan 
 your excursion 
 with moderate accura 
 cy, deciding what you 
 want most to see, how 
 long to stay at certain 
 places, and getting a 
 notion of the geogra- 
 phy of the region, with 
 a few points about its 
 history. All this if 
 there is time to do it. 
 
 As to dress, just 
 wear your old 
 clothes — not the 
 very oldest, be- 
 cause you don't . 
 want to fall to 
 pieces in the street, 
 so to speak, nor 
 to be suspected by 
 the idle fellows on 
 the corner of re- 
 lationship with 
 "Weary Ragglcs." 
 You don't want to 
 enter your hotel 
 by the back way. 
 Gray is the best 
 color for a tramp- 
 cr, because it does 
 not show dust and 
 stain, as black and blue will do. Nobody is com- 
 fortalile in stiff linen, no matter whether he thinks 
 he is or not ; but, though we wear it for appear- 
 ance sake in town, it is the height of absurdity 
 to do so on a tramp, for perspiration will pres- 
 
 ently wilt the starch out of it and the dust will 
 adhere to its moist surface. So, wear a flannel 
 shirt, or a linen shirt with no starch in it, or a 
 percale or madras. A soft hat, perforated for ven- 
 tilation, or a liglit helmet make the best head gear. 
 The shoes must be large enough, shaped to the feet 
 
 by use, and may 
 be softened and 
 made water-proof 
 by suet, tallo^v or 
 oil, but, as leather 
 thus treated is apt 
 to cause sweating, 
 it is as well not to 
 grease them. 
 
 The Appalach- 
 ian Club discoun- 
 tenances the use 
 of canes for moun- 
 tain walks. Each 
 to his liking. I 
 would as soon 
 think of going 
 away without a 
 knife or a comb 
 'or a tooth-brush 
 or a night-gown 
 or a gossamer rub- 
 l>er coat — the only 
 freight that the 
 pedestrian needs 
 to carry — as a 
 stick. If I cut it 
 myself, from a 
 sapling, so much 
 the better, and the 
 more worthless it 
 is the better it 
 suits me. A light, 
 stout stick, about 
 four feet long, is 
 what I commonly 
 choose. There are 
 times when jou 
 may want to use 
 such a cudgel on 
 a dog or a snake, 
 or possibly a 
 tramp. It is handy 
 to sound streams 
 and pot holes and 
 crevices with ; i t 
 will help you to 
 jump a ravine or

 along the road, but the principal good of it is 
 that it gives your hands something to do, and it 
 is company. If you lose it, no matter ; there are 
 plenty like it growing by the wayside. Gold- 
 headed canes do not grow there, so it is better

 mot to take them. In the matter of outfit. I add 
 ouly to the artieles just named a watch, a notc- 
 3K)ok, a peneil. a novel and a map m a uui(h'

 goiny thi'ough the Wliite Mountains, for examjile. 
 It wouUl be folly to refuse tiie assistance of so ad- 
 jniralile a guide to that reiiion as tiie one known 
 4is Osgood's, for it holds about all liiat one wants 
 or needs to know. These things ean be carried in 
 51 satchel, to be suspende(l from tiie shoulder by a 
 .strap, and if the trip is to be a long one. clean 
 ■clothing, or a valise tilleil with effects can be sent 
 ■on by express, to be called for at certain places. 
 This may cost time and trouble, as well as money, 
 for you ean never lie sure of linding what you 
 ■oxpeet, where and 
 Avhen you expect 
 it. I remember 
 that four of us 
 ■chased four wreteh- 
 <'d little parcels up 
 :ind down iMount 
 Washington, thence 
 to C r a w f o r d s . 
 thence to the Willey 
 House and back to 
 Orawfords one 
 summer, and we 
 vowed at that time 
 that, come what 
 might, we w^iuld 
 never again submit 
 to be separated from 
 ■our tooth brushes. 
 It is absurd to cast 
 off a burden that 
 weighs only four 
 l)ounds, and that is 
 the '-heft" of my 
 Tisual outtit. Some 
 people insist on tak- 
 ing changes of 
 linen, slippers, med- 
 icine, scissors, com- 
 passes and goodness

 If I had one piece of advice to offer to walk- 
 ers, it would be to carry just as little as possible. 
 When you have ri'ad your iio\cl. or otiier ])ook — 
 in the evening, and on rainy days — give it away 
 and buy another. When you have worn holes 
 jn your stockings, do the same by them. Get 
 neither books nor stockings that will cost you a 
 heart-break to give up. If you collect minerals, 
 botanical specimens, in.sects. iihotograjihs or relics, 
 send them home by mail or express every few- 
 days. You can get washing done at the hotels

 As to places to 
 trami) througli, let 
 your own tastes 
 govern your selec- 
 tion. Some want 
 to be near the sea, 
 some like the hills, 
 some prefer the 
 beaten path and 
 others want to get 
 away from it, some 
 like a flat country, 
 some like a historic 
 region, some want 
 a new and untried 
 district, some want 
 to add hunting and 
 tishing. some want 
 none of that, some 
 want to go through 
 a country with a 
 sketch-book ami 
 others with a niin- 
 eralogical hammer 
 and a botany box. 
 The valleys of the Hudson. St. Lawrence, Connecticut 
 and Delaware are delightful ; so are the Catskills 
 and the mountains of North Carolina, though the 
 roads are few and poor, so are the Green Moun- 
 tains, and so. eminently, are the White Mountains, 
 a region where everything has been done for the 
 summer tourist that he could in reason ask to 
 have done for him. yet they retain much of that 
 wiidncss that is the greatest charm of mountains. 
 Walking is the cheapest as well as the most in- 
 vigorating form of locomotion. Begin easy. 
 Doirt use yourself up. Remember that you are 
 out to enjoy yourself, not to make a record.

 as though the limit

 the modern bicy- 
 cle, and not until 
 the motor that is 
 to propel it by 
 electricity or kero- 
 sene comes into 
 general use, will 
 there be any mark-

 mechanism, or

 there is a doul)t if 
 
 any motor will be popular, for. aside from the ex- 
 pense and trouble of charging it, there will be a 
 less ready response in physical exhilaration ilian

 winning. A woman 
 looks well in any- 
 thing so. of course, 
 she looks well in 
 the divided skirt, 
 which is the safest 
 thing out for cy-

 It may fairly be 
 said that the bicycle is 
 the only method of loco- 
 motion, by personal effort, 
 that incites one to extend 
 the work and journe}'. 
 There is comparatively sn 
 little fatigue, and the 
 ground is covered 
 so rapidly, that 
 there is a constant 
 desire to extend the 
 distance. Fifty to 
 seventy miles a 
 day. which would 
 be hard work for 
 a horse, is compara- 
 tively easy for a 
 souud and seasoned 
 cyclist, and nothing 
 can be more thor- 
 oughly enjoyal)le 
 and beneficial. 
 Such trijis should 
 be made in a com- 
 pany of not more 
 than two or three,

 sible for more than

 to be a "scorcher" as well as a ••laggard" in 
 any large party. 
 
 Don't go out for a long run. however, unless 
 you have tried yourself, and your machine, and 
 your companions, if possible, by a number of 
 
 short runs wiihin ea.sy distance of home. And 
 above all things, when you do go oil for a ,li,y 
 or two. or more, put a strong curb on every 
 desire to "scorch" or to do a ■cenlnry," or any 
 otiicr fancy work. You will get Iluoiigli country

 THE PLEASURES OF CYCLING. 
 
 it is certainly not necessary that each shoiikl 
 carry a complete set of tools and repair kit : one 
 set will do for all. Don't foi-ii-ct a cup. for v.hen 
 you are perspiring at every jiore, at the rate of 
 a quart aa hour, you will want a drink at every 
 sig'ii of water ; anil a hit of eourt-plaster, and a 
 thread and needle may ])e useful, and perhaps a 
 small air-pillov/ to sit on after the tirst steady 
 work of a day or so; tliere are many little things 
 that j'ou had better think of before starting, than 
 discover the want of after you have got out into 
 the wildcrne.'-s. 
 
 Take a chain and lock with you. and secure your 
 wdieel when you stop. It will lie pleasanter if you 
 wake up in a strange room, in the silent Avatches 
 of the night, to know that your wheel is safe under 
 your bed, or locked up, than to lay and wonder 
 wluther some wretch has got away with it. 
 Although the wheel insurance companies can hardly 
 bring you liome from a trip on one of the wheels 
 that they loan you, luitil yours is found, still thee 
 must be a certain amount of comfort in the 
 knowledge that there is somebody standing ready 
 to make your loss good. 
 
 The expenses of bicycle outings are entirely 
 under control. On a train or boat the tourist 
 
 pays so much a mile ; fifty miles on a train 
 will cost at least one dollar, while on a bicycle 
 the same distance will cost nothing but some pers- 
 piration and perhaps a few stiffened muscles. A 
 train is an uncomfortal)le place on which to enjoy 
 a pocket lunch ; if on a cycle, you can lay off 
 under a tree, by a babbling brook, or a ciystal 
 spring, "far from the busy haunts of nu'U " and 
 al)sorb refreshment for the sold and spirit, while 
 satisfying the bodily wants. You are not likely 
 to strike high-priced hotels. The little country inns 
 will feed you for fifty cents a meal, usually 
 good substantial meals, and the sr.me sum for 
 lodgings. Go to bed as early as you can, but 
 don't let the good quality of your bed tempt 
 you to linger in it ; get up and away in the 
 early hours. An early rise, a good cold douche 
 and rubbing, even at the pump in the yard if 
 you can do no better, some bread and milk, if 
 too early for more sidjstantial things, and some 
 crusts stowed in your pockets, for a nibble before 
 dinner ; be sure that your wheel is all right, 
 and then take the road ; such a start, by five 
 o'clock, will fill j'ou with elasticity, give you 
 the sweetest hours of the day for a run, and 
 let you rest in the hottest and meanest. 
 
 FIVE GOOD BICYCLE TRIPS. 
 
 Tlie following routes are described from lu'tual experience, and are all over good rtiads, including some of the finest in the 
 country. They are within easy distance of railroads, so that, in catie of misha]i, the rider may return. After getting some 
 distance from New York, the various turns, at every fork and cross-roads, are not given. An occasional iiKiniry will enalde the 
 rider to get along all right. 
 
 On Long Island.— Starting from Brooklyn, take Eastern 
 Parkway, alx^ut two miles, to East New York Avenue, turn to 
 left, ahout half-a-mile, to Liberty Avenue, continue along Liberty 
 Avenue until the end of the Kings County Elevated Kailroad is 
 reached. A short turn to the left leads into Broadway, which 
 is a straight road for about three miles, to Jamaica, wliere a 
 turn to the right is made, into the Rockawai/ Turnpike; about 
 two miles from Jamaica, turn to the left into Locust Avenue, 
 which leads into the Merrick Road, where a turn to the right 
 is made. The Jlerrick Road continues straight along for about 
 ten miles from this turn to Freeport, passing through Spring- 
 field, Valley Stream, Pearsalls (Lynbrook) and RockviUe Center. 
 At Freeport turn to left to Hempstead, about five miles. The 
 return trip may be shortened by taking the dii'ect road from 
 llemiistead to Rockville Center, about seven miles. This trip is 
 over the finest stretch of road on Long Island, from Jamaica to 
 Freeport, and is level all the way. The scenery consists of well- 
 kept farms and private estates, with quite a little wood-land, but 
 the country being so flat there is little else to be seen. The 
 good road is the great attraction, and if the rider wishes to go 
 further than Freeport, the road continues good to Babylon, 
 about thirteen miles beyond, passing through Merrick, Massa- 
 pequa and Amityville. Brooklyn riders may prefer to take the 
 Kings County Elevated Railroad (at any Station) in order to avoid 
 the three mile stretch of block pavement on Liberty Avenue ; 
 ten cents extra is charged for wheels. New Y'orkers who wish 
 to avoid the Brooklyn part of the route can do so liy taking 
 the College Point Ferry at 99th Street, East River, to College 
 Point, thence to Flushing and Jamaica, about eight miles from 
 College Point. 
 
 Through the Orange Valley, from Newark to 
 
 Plaintield. — Take railroad to Newark. In Newark, take Market 
 Street and turn to right into Plane Street for about five 
 blocks; then turn to left into Central Avenue, for about two- 
 and-a-half miles ; then turn to right into South Grove Street, 
 about two miles; then to the left into Park Avenue (East 
 Orange) about one-and-a-half miles to Llewellyn Park; turn ta 
 left here, to Orange, about one-half mile; continue straight 
 along for about a mile, to South Orange; at Valley Hotel 
 (South Orange) take road to the right, and a mile further v\\, 
 at church on left side of road, turn to the left, cross railroad 
 tracks, and at Griffiths drug store (a short distance after 
 crossing the tracks) turn to the right. This road leads to 
 Maplewood, where a turn to the right is made, until Millburit 
 is reached. From Maplewood to Milltiurn is pai't of the cele- 
 brated Irviugton-Millburn road. From Millburn ki'cp to the 
 left, to Springfield, about two miles, then to the right, ami at 
 first turn, to the left again into an almost straight stretch of 
 about eight miles, to Scotch Plains. After turning to the left 
 to enter this village, turn to the right again at first turn, into 
 a straight stretch of road for five miles, to Plainfield. Leaving 
 Plainfield by North Avenue, the rider passes through Fanioood 
 to Westfield, a straight road of about four miles. At Westfield, 
 cross railroad tracks, keeping to the right until R.R. station 
 is passed, then to the left; then to right again at ne.xt turn, 
 until Cranford is reached. Tliere is a stretch of about eight 
 miles of road, without any turn worth mentioning, from Cran- 
 ford to Elizithi III, jiassing through Roselle, and Kl Mora. 
 When Elizabeth is reached, a turn to the left for about a. 
 mile will jiiit tlio rider on a macadam road for about six.

 passing through Hohokus. Turn to the right at Ridgewood, 
 taking the road through Uawthnrne to Paterson, about three

 right at next fork, and about a mile further on turn to the 
 left, passing alongside Franklin Lake. At cross roads, a mile 
 or so beyond Franklin Lake, turn to the right into a road 
 leading straiglit into Paterson, about seven miles. This trip is 
 without doubt the finest, for scenery, that can be covered in a 
 days trip from New York, f<illowing, as it does, the Passaic 
 and Ramapo Rivers most of the way. The mountains on all 
 sides vary from four hundred and fifty to over eight hundred feet 
 in height, but the road, being in the valley, is level all through.

 CHARGES FOR BICYCLES ON STEAMBOATS AND RAILROADS. 
 
 The Transportation of Cycles by Railroads and Steamboats is becoming a very serious question to the lines; the machines 
 take up so much room (they cannot be piled iip like trunksi and they cannot be "fired" around in the style supposed to be 
 indulged in by the average Baggage "Smasher." Some lines continue to carry them free: the following are the lines that have 
 at this time decided to make a charge, which there is little doubt all lines will ultimately do. 
 
 The majority of the Raih-oads starting at New York City carry Cycles without charge, many of them, however, requiring a 
 signed "release." The New York Central & Hudson River; the New York, New Haven & Hartford and the New York & Putnam 
 Roads make a charge equivalent to the regular charge made for one hundred pounds of " Excess Baggage." 
 
 The following is a list of the Steamboats and Lines that now make a charge: 
 
 Albany Day Line .50 cents. 
 
 Ben Franlvlin Line... 25 cents. 
 
 Bridgeport Line 25 cents. 
 
 Citizens Line 50 cents. 
 
 College Point Ferry.. 10 cents.

 FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE. 
 
 A S a matter of mere invigoration, and a wise 
 ' *^ and judicious iuvestuient in the direction of 
 increase of brain power and ability to do more 
 work, would it not pay employers to insist that 
 their clerks should take more out -door exercise"? 
 Indeed, is there not a growing impression that it 
 would be wise for employers to con 
 tribute time 
 occasionallv 
 to that pur- 
 pose ? 
 
 As for the 
 clerks, and in 
 fact all busi- 
 jiess men, if 
 they had any 
 care for their 
 own best wel- 
 fare — th e 
 liealth and 
 strength that 
 must underlie 
 all successes— 
 they would 
 take advantage of every opportuutiy "' ^ -^ t, 
 
 for opi-n-air exercises ; hundreds of opportunities 
 that they now neglect, scorn perhaps. It is the 
 great failing of the times, as uoceasintrly told by 
 all phj-sicists. that we are degenerating into a 
 mere aggregation of nerves, 
 with atrophied muscles and 7- 
 circulatory org ins ; always 
 tired, always fretful, always 
 wakeful, the 'misery" feel- 
 ing alwavs at hind. Open- 
 air exercise of from four to 
 six miles a day, would un- 
 failingly send the blood pul- 
 sating to the extremities and 
 back, cleansing out the cin- 
 ders and ashes and effete 
 matter deposited by the slug- 
 gish, and more sluggish. 
 movement of the life flood 
 during the bodily inaction of 
 the business hours. But !^— -" 
 clerks and working people 
 will not do that ; they prefer 
 with fish-like patience to 
 crowd the cars of all kinds, 
 
 in a mad desire to reach their homes or their 
 business with the least possible physical exertion. 
 And the wonder grows, when one considers that 
 such slow-suicidal practices prevail so univer?ally. 
 
 ,^^ 
 
 If but a few could be persuaded to try natures 
 own. and only, restorative for tired and jaded 
 nerves and brains, the custom would certainly 
 spread and make more and more friends. What is 
 the secret of the last and most exciting fad — the 
 bicycle — but that the legs are used as agitators or 
 pumps to set the blood in motion, produc-

 who would 
 scorn to walk 
 a mile or two, 
 will bow their 
 backs, and use 
 their heads as 
 battering rams, 
 in a wild desire 
 to do a "cen- 
 tury" in a day. 
 It is, however, 
 dull work for 
 tlie uu( bservmg mind, tramping up and 
 — down through the bustling, hustling 
 
 throngs of our crowded city streets, and there are 
 times when the atmosphere seems strangely unlike 
 the sweet air of heaven. Then it is that we all 
 long to get close to nature, 
 
 "With the upward rise, 
 And with the vastness grow. '' 
 
 That such longings are not 
 It alized more frequently, is 
 chiefly because the opportu- 
 nities to do so are not familiar. 
 Indeed the public has no 
 realizing sense of the in- 
 iucements offered to them by 
 11 transportation lines ; we 
 i^ave a habit of growling at 
 them, whereas we would be 
 better employed and wiser, 
 too, if we would more fre- 
 quently use the advantages 
 :hat they offer. '

 forget, or do not know, that 
 " here is a vast deal worth see-

 of a few miles from Xew York,

 OUTINGS BY STREET RAILWAYS. 
 
 /^UR street railway systems offer the following 
 ^^^ of a regular fare : 
 
 Riverside Drive and Park, extending 
 along the bank of the Hudson River, about two 
 and a-half miles, between Seventy-second Street 
 and One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Street. The 
 park is of irregular width ; bounded on the 
 east side by Riverside Drive, 
 one of the grand boulevards 
 laid out by the city authorities, 
 the east side of Avhich is lined 
 by sumptuous private residences. 
 The park lies west of the drive, 
 extending to the river, covering 
 the side of the hill and blull's, 
 in some places one hundred and 
 fifty feet high. Tiie park is 
 under the supervision of the 
 j\Iunicipal Park Department and 
 is ornamented with flower-beds 
 in places, and is largely covered 
 with the original growth of for- 
 est trees. There are parts of the 
 park lying under the bluffs, that 
 are as quiet and secluded as 
 similar woods in Orange County. 
 At the north end of the park, 
 the view from the top of the 
 bluffs embraces a section of the Hudson River, 
 quite as large, and quite as tine, as many of the 
 views that may be obtained from the famed 
 Hudson River Highlands. The drive lies about 
 five blocks west of the west-side elevated rail- 
 road ; about four blocks west of the Columbus 
 Avenue Line; the Third 
 Avenue Cable Line 
 reaches the park by its 
 Fort Lee Ferry Branch. 
 
 High Bridge. — 
 This grand Croton 
 Water Aqueduct Bridge 
 was supposed, at the 
 time it was erected, to 
 be one of the seven 
 wonders of the world, 
 and is, even now, well 
 worth a visit. It com- 
 mands an extensive 
 view of the Harlem 
 River, and at its west- 
 ern terminus there is a 
 small public park, surrounding the reservoir. This 
 is probably the pleasantest point at which to secure 
 row-boats for a trip on the Harlem River. The west 
 side elevated railroad in connection with the New 
 York & Putnam Railroad runs direct to the 
 
 opportunities for a breath of fresh air at the price 
 
 bridge, fare ten cents. The Amsterdam Avenue 
 Branch of the Tiiird Avenue Cable System runs 
 to High Bridge Park ; fare five cents. 
 
 \A/ashington Bridge, one of the most 
 magnificent bridges in the w^orld, commanding an 
 extensive view of the Harlem 
 River, and with beautiful ram- 
 bles at each terminus. Reached 
 by the Amsterdam Avenue 
 Branch of the Third Avenue 
 Cable Sj'stem ; fare five cents. 
 Fort George, a high and 
 pretty wooded bluff at One 
 Hundred and Ninetieth Street 
 and Amsterdam Avenue, over- 
 looking the Harlem River and 
 Inwood, as far as Spuyten 
 Duyvil. Four blocks from the 
 terminus of the Amsterdam 
 Avenue Branch of the Third 
 Avenue Cable System ; fare five 
 cents. 
 
 Crotona Park, one of the 
 /' nuuiicipal public parks, lying on 
 
 the east side of Third Avenue, 
 - ■ between One Hundred and Sev- 
 
 entieth Street and One Hundred and Seventy -eighth 
 Street. It covers one hundred and thirty-five acres, 
 and is entirely in a natural state, thickly wooded and 
 without a single sign "keep off the grass." The 
 suburban branch of the east-side elevated rail- 
 roads runs directly to the park at Wendover 
 
 Avenue Station ; fare 
 five cents. 
 
 The Brooklyn 
 Street Railway 
 Lines running tx), or 
 1 ransf erring to other 
 lines for Fort Hamil- 
 ton, Bensonhurst, Bath 
 Beach, Flatlands and 
 y.Tamaica, all afford an 
 / opportunity for an out- 
 ing in the w^oods, or on 
 the shore, for eight to 
 ten cents. 
 
 Hoboken Street 
 Cars, over the hill, 
 lead to m a n y very 
 pretty walks in the neighborhood of Palisade 
 Avenue, Hudson Heights, &c., and the Wee- 
 hawken Street Cars, run back in the country 
 with pleasant roads, woods, &c., towards Gutten- 
 burg, with fine views from the top of the bluffs 
 overlooking the Hudson and New York Cily.

 SUNDAY OU IIXGS. 
 
 "THERE arc but few Sunday trips, by steamboats, that are absolutely clean in every respect. 
 ^ The best are those by lines that run every day of the week, the worst are those that are run foi" 
 Sunday business only. The steamboat tables in Bullixgeu's Monitor Gcidk show all boats that 
 are runiu'ng, with their days, hours, &c. 
 
 Very many of the Outings suggested and described in these pages can be made on Sundays, 
 also, but the railroads do not run as many trains on that day. and there is a possibility that the 
 company, on the return trip to the city, may Ite larger and not as pleasant or as desirable, as on 
 a v^-eek day evening.

 THR "BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF THE SEA." 
 
 TWENTY CENTS. 
 
 jJISTORY tells us that as oarly as the year 
 KiO:) Ihc Dutch •■ settled " in Stateii Island. 
 AVhy the hutch should always settle, while other 
 people wvvr busy 
 movinii- about, 
 in vent inn' and 
 disco V e r i n f;; 
 thin<>-s, liistorians 
 have not explain- 
 ed, but the In- 
 dians appear to 
 have stirred them 
 up a little, about 
 16-40. Whether 
 these earl 3^ dis- 
 sensions caused 
 the erection of a 
 suitable landinii' 
 place to be in- 
 detinately post- 
 poned, it is hard 
 to say, but the 
 truth remains that the 
 same antediluvian struct- 
 ure which the Hollanders 
 probably found when 
 they got there, remains 
 to greet the traveller as 
 he alights to-day. 
 Viewed as a relic 
 of antiquity it 
 should be ven- 
 erated and pre- 
 served, and as 
 such is well 
 worth a visit. 
 
 If y o u h a v c 
 never been to 
 Stateu Island, 
 and there are 
 those who have 
 not, hurry down 
 to the foot of 
 Whitehall Street 
 next Saturday 
 afternoon, pay 
 your modest ten cents 
 and step on board the 
 boat. It takes you five 
 miles across the baj', in 
 twenty minutes — passes 
 so close to the Goddess 
 of Liberty that you can 
 see the beads of perspira- 
 tion on her massive 
 lirow as she stands a 
 day in the l^lazing sun 
 rubs up against a light 
 
 lioMse that 
 
 von-Kull,

 THE " BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF THE SEA." 
 
 foot-print. Little by paths — lovely lovers walks 
 they seem tt) be^branch olf to right and left 
 like rivers on a schoolboy's map. Wander at 
 will through this happy valley, for you come, 
 all too soon, into the village of Concord. Enquire 
 the way to Silver Lake, and smile your sweetest 
 smile (at the village inn) as the buxon landlady 
 directs you to a road that points to the sky. 
 Hire some one to pash you up it, or climb it 
 if need be, but get to the top, and, as you 
 reach the summit turn to j-our right through an 
 opening in the fence ; cross the field in front of 
 you and gaze upon a scene of pure delight. 
 Miles away to the west are the Jersey hills ; the 
 Kill Von Kull winds like a bright serpent through 
 the lower lands ; the bay, far off to your right, 
 dotted with ships of many nations, and below 
 you, half hidden in its forest home, is Silver 
 Lake. Descend through the "God's acre" which 
 covers the slope at your feet, and reach the 
 Richmond Turnpike, and in a few moments you 
 are standing on the shores of the lake. Here 
 you can fish, or try to. You can hire a boat 
 and gather more lillies than you'll ever take 
 home : or wander in the woods collecting ferns 
 that would keep a botanist busy for the rest of 
 his life ; and when you are tired, and the shadows 
 lengthen, you can walk down hill to Tompkius- 
 ville in twenty minutes, pay another ten cents 
 for your ticket home, and reach it as the signal 
 gun proclaims the sim has set. This trip is but 
 one of a dozen or more which may be made 
 through this delightfully quaint, ocean girt island. 
 
 One can leave the train at West Brighton, 
 take the first road on the left, and in less than 
 fifteen minutes will have forgotten the existence 
 of New York. A chain of delightful little lakes, 
 fed by tiny rivulets and iniseen springs, and 
 crossed here and there by crumbling old bridges, 
 is seen from the road as you look to the right. 
 An old mill, with its abandoned water-wheel, adds 
 romance to the picture. You can follow the road 
 through Concord and on into Clifton or Staple- 
 ton, and return home from there. 
 
 You can take the boat to St. George, then 
 climb the hill to the right, and walk along the 
 famous Brighton Terrace for five or six miles. 
 A splendid road, shady and cool, following the 
 Kill Von Kull for its entire length, passing 
 through six or eight villages, from any of which 
 a train may be taken home. 
 
 You can take the train for Arrochar, have a 
 swim at South Beach, and walk back over the 
 hill to Clifton and on to St. George, or follow 
 the shore round to Fort Wadsworth and spend 
 an hour or more among the fortifications, or 
 watching the ever varying panorama of the lower 
 harbor. 
 
 Either of the above possibilities may be had 
 for a total outlay of twenty cents, from New 
 York and return. The cheapest price, for an 
 outing of such a varied and satisfactory nature, 
 in the whole world. 
 
 Or you may take the train to New Dorp, and 
 walk to the historic old county seat of Richmond. 
 Then wander on throvigh the country, at will, 
 reaching, after a walk of about four miles, 
 the famous Richmond Turnpike, once the old 
 coaching road to Philadelphia, where wigged and 
 powdered and stately dames Avere, no doubt, 
 occasionally " held up " by some Dick Turpin, 
 and relieved of their superfluous cash with as 
 little delay and inconvenience as the gravity of the 
 operation would Avarrant. From the Turnpike to 
 the north shore is about two miles, making a 
 tramp of six miles, and entailing an entire out- 
 lay of thirty -five cents, from New York and 
 return. 
 
 The writer, with two friends, left New York 
 one Sunday at noon, walked from St. George to 
 South Beach, and after a swim, started off on a 
 walk to nowhere. We kept the railroad in sight 
 for quite a while, lost it occasionally and tum- 
 bled over it unexpectedly at various points ; 
 followed the road where it chanced to take us, 
 and arrived about nine o'clock at Tottenville. 
 We put up for the night at a quiet little hotel, 
 and the next day, being a holiday, we walked 
 back. Not, however, by the same road, but 
 making our way o'er hill and dale — through 
 fields and forests ; straight as the crow flies — 
 till we reached St. George. A tramp of about 
 thirty-five miles, and we saw more, did more, 
 laughed more, and enjoyed it more than any 
 tramp we ever had, and all we paid for trans- 
 portation was twenty cents. 
 
 As an object lesson in evolution, and of the 
 "Natural Increment" that Mr. Henry George so 
 persuasively discusses, it may be noted tliat in 
 1670 the aboriginees traded the whole island to 
 the white man, for goods, at the value of about 
 one-tenth of a cent for each acre. 
 
 TARRYTOWN AND ARDSLF:Y. 
 KIGHTY CENTS. 
 
 Take New York & Putnam Railroad to Tarry- 
 town ; excursion fare eighty cents. Walk back 
 through Elmsford, Worthington and Woodlands, 
 quaint and picturesque little villages, nestling in the 
 valley of the Nepperhan, to Ardsley, a popular 
 suburban resort; a walk of about seven miles. Take 
 train on same railroad at Ardsley for New York. 
 
 FA1RLA^A'N AND MAYWOOD. 
 NINETY CENTS. 
 
 Take New York, Lake Erie & Western Rail- 
 road to Fairlawn ; fare fifty -five cents. Walk 
 through the village of Areola to May wood, about 
 three and one-half miles of farming and fruit 
 growing land and finely wooded country. Take 
 New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad to 
 New York ; fare thirty cents.

 A SAND-BOUXD COAST. 
 
 amply repay an examination. The aforesaid 
 "dogs" are awfully nice; as gentle as doves and 
 as willing to coo most pleasantly to an agreeable 
 visitor, and they will tell you lots of things aljout 
 some of their big guns that will astonish an 
 ordinary chap from a city office. The queer old 
 round building just off shore is Fort (?) Lafayette; 
 used by the government during the war as a 
 prison for misguided politicians and copperheads. 
 On the opposite side of the narrows is the magniti- 
 cent double fortification at Fort Wadsworth. You 
 will shake the dust of the village street of Fort 
 Hamilton from your feet with pleasure, but the 
 shore road hence to iiay Ridge is the most 
 beautiful walk of its kind in the country. It 
 will undoubtedly soon form part of the park 
 system of Brooklyn, perhaps a greater New York. 
 The route, so far, around to this slu)re road has 
 passed through an assortment of experiences in 
 which all tastes can find something to please. 
 The remains of old farm houses ; farms in full 
 play, mostly work however ; modern villas ; bits 
 of ancient woods and original country roads ; 
 asphalt pavements; flower gardens, market gar- 
 dens, beer gardens and gardens of all kinds ex- 
 cept the garden of Eden ; beaches and sand, and 
 mud and rubbish ; meadows deliciousl}^ refreshing 
 in their everlasting emerald mantle. The whole 
 finds a fitting climax to what was Ijeautiful, and a 
 
 full requital for what was unpleasant, in the beauty 
 of the shore road. Here and there the modern van- 
 dal has merely laid out a street, and a wretchedly 
 bad one, too. The old trees are here; old farm 
 fields with their ancient fences and the old build- 
 ings are untouciied, except occasionally by a 
 bit of modern decoration ; but the glory of the 
 whole is the magnificent panordma of the inner 
 harbor. Staten Island with its enchanting colors 
 and beautiful "sky line" is matchless ns a back- 
 ground. The harbor can nowhere else be seen 1o 
 such advantage, and with the constantly changing. 
 restless passing of vessels, sailing to or from all 
 parts of the world, it is absolutely without a 
 peer. 
 
 Here is the place to saunter away an hour or 
 more, on the way to Bay Ridge, where you 
 come again in contact with the "penny-in-the- 
 slot" civilization of all such places, where the 
 passing crowd may be beguiled to leave their 
 small change. 
 
 It is thirty minutes by boat from here to foot 
 of Whitehall Street, a boat about every half 
 hour — the route being somewhat different from 
 the outward trip — fare ten cent*. 
 
 About four to five hours on foot and one hour 
 on the boats — twenty cents spent. You will carry 
 home with you some views and some fresh air 
 that will stay with you awhile.

 many other popular ideas is a 
 delusion. Beer there is, and 
 where is it not, but it is a mere 
 fringe of beer, froth, so to 
 speak, hanging along tin 
 edge of the river. A

 so you come again

 Edgewatcr, and the immense docks 
 fitted for handling coal by thous- 
 ands of tons. 
 Hence along the shore again, or

 On the shore, here, you tind the shad 
 hunter. Not a gentleman hunter, with

 ordinary fisher for a livin--just as were 
 some ancient fishermen who lived in

 can see his house in the picture; ten of 
 them live in it during the "height ot the

 In the pictured boat we siiow you, you see

 and work by day and night for several men. 
 Shad can be bought at retail from tifteeu to 
 thirty cents ; think of the princely income of the 
 shad hun-ers. Surely this is a realistic bit of 
 primeval nature, with a primitive man making a 
 living in accordance with the edict given at 
 Eden, "in the sweat of thy face ;" a good object 
 lesson for the nervous, fretful, jaundiced dwellers 
 in the palaces on the other side of the great river. 
 
 Along the shore, hence to Fort Lee, is by way 
 of an enchanting road, shady, and skirting the 
 
 water. A walk of twenty to forty minutes that 
 is of itself worth all the journey. At Fort Lee, 
 if time or inclination serves, you can go north 
 anil find again more solitude and resting places. 
 You can return to the city by the ferry to 130th 
 street — fare ten cents — time fifteen minutes. 
 
 Forty -five nunutes on the boats ; a walk of 
 about three miles which ought to take at least 
 three hours. Four hours for tw^enty-five cents 
 and an experience that cannot be duplicated. 
 For a picnic party with lunch, the hours for 
 resting and full enjoyment can be easily found 
 at many places. 
 
 THROUGH HELL GATE. 
 
 TWENTY CENTS. 
 
 ih 4iv, 
 
 IF any place is more beautiful than the lower 
 ^ end of JSIew York Harbor, it is the upper. 
 The immense basin of the lower harbor, with its 
 complete frame of hills and meadows, and its 
 islands of different shapes and sizes, has advan- 
 ta"-es of color and combination that are rare in- 
 deed, but the entrance from the sound is banked 
 by as rare an arrangement of shore, and as beau- 
 tiful an assortment of islands, as can be found 
 
 elsewhere in the world. . " 
 
 Had it not been for the 
 remarkable le Ige of rock 
 that laid across thvi chan- 
 nel, forming what has ^ ' 
 been popularly known as 
 Hell Gate, and well named 
 it was, this entrance to 
 the Harbor would always 
 have b.'en the gateway 
 for all vessels, except 
 those bound from or to 
 
 the south ; a royal road . . — 
 
 that in the reg.dness of "^^^ - "'*'.' Z"' 
 
 its procjssion, and its '~- 
 
 natural beauties, would now have been unrivaled. 
 From Blackwell's Island on the south, to Willett's 
 Point at the east, there are varying widths of 
 narrows, and bays, and wide reaches, through 
 which an eastern bound vessel sails, passing a 
 series of charming natural formations that are 
 simply marvelous. It is unfortunate that the 
 exigencies of modern civilization have compelled 
 the City of New York to use these beautiful 
 islands for the confinement of the sick, the insane 
 and the criminal, but even such use does not 
 lessen their beauty. 
 
 There is a ferry running from the foot of East 
 J^inrty-ninth Street to College Point, that prob- 
 
 \ 
 
 X. 
 
 ably not more than one person in a hundred has 
 ever heard of, the fare is ten cents, the time of 
 passage forty minutes. Taking this ferry, and 
 passing out toward the open sound, you cross 
 over what was once Hell Gate's dangerous reef ; 
 now flattened out by the government, after ten 
 years labor, at an expense of over ten millions 
 of dollars, the drilling of 113,000 feet of holes, 
 and the explosion of 250,000 pounds of Rack-a- 
 
 rock powder (what a sug- 
 gestive name), and about 
 50,000 poiuids of other 
 St uff . W a r d s I sland, 
 Randalls Island, the 
 North and South Broth- 
 ers, Rikers Island, and 
 other smaller formations, 
 ire all passed, some al- 
 most within touch ; with 
 light-houses, hospitals 
 and other public build- 
 ings, which, in spite of 
 the suggestive unpleas- 
 antness of their uses, do 
 not lessen or impair the beauty of the whole. 
 
 On the right, the Long Island shore displays 
 a succession of irregular, sloping bluffs, covered 
 in large part with suburban residences, lawns, 
 clumps of woods, occasional masses of rocks, and 
 other bits of coloring, the effect of which is 
 finer, if possible, than either shore of the lower 
 harbor. 
 
 On the left, the islands, with their channels 
 and bays and water intervales, and sunken mead- 
 ows lying beyond on the shore of the main- 
 land, make a combination of striking and dif- 
 fering, yet wonderfully harmonious forms and 
 coloring tliat cannot be found elsewhere.

 And this l)c:uitiful -^atcr course is the l»ii;li- 
 Wiiy of vessels in iiuleseribable variety. IJits of 
 tii.iis, with coal barge tows, alternate with Alail 
 din like palaces of the Boston Lines; wasp-like

 fruit lie re, too. The 
 barcly-covereil rocks 
 have claimed many a 
 victim, and evea the 
 emerald -hued meadows 
 have firmly held the 
 prow of the burning 
 boat, while the water, 
 that lapped their quiet 
 shore, has covered with 
 gjntle pall the dying 
 and the dead. 
 
 The forty minutes 
 sail to College Point 
 is a rich and rare ex- 
 perience. 
 
 At College Point 
 you will probably fol- j^^ 
 low the shore, and 
 wander along about 
 three miles or so, to 
 Whitestone Landing, 
 returning by some of 
 the many country 
 lanes, or by the rail- 
 road. The country is 
 undulating and strik- 
 ingly picturesque, 
 with many bits of 
 sylvan beauty that will 
 afford opportunity for 
 rest and lunch. Two 
 or three liours can 
 easily be passed in 
 lanes or woods, or on 
 the shore. 
 
 I f you are of indus- 
 trious ha])its, there is 
 no reason why ycm 
 should not improve the 
 opi)ortunity by doffing 
 your footgear, and hunting for clams ; they are 
 bedded all along the shore, and although the 
 sport may not be as exciting as hunting man- 
 
 eating tigers in India, still there is an eleni.'nt 
 of novelty about it that, might prove interesting 
 to a cadaverous city cliTk. 'I"ry it, and you will 
 certainly be snr|uise(| at the abandon with which 
 you expose yourself to the gentle wasli of the 
 water, as it soaks the hiwer ends of your rolled 
 ■ " 1 up tronsers ; indeed. 
 
 the chaiK IS are that, 
 for the moment, you 
 would ii.s lief, MS not. 
 take a lnml)le in the 
 enticing waves. 
 
 If you forg(t tliat 
 you are g(ttirg tired, 
 and linjicr too long on 
 your way to White- 
 stone, yon can ti;ke 
 the railroad to X( w 
 York from there ; bnl

 will certainly get full

TOO 
 
 LOST IN JERSEY. 
 
 'FHERE is a lot of fun in o-ettins: lost, if you 
 get lost in the right place. New Jersey, 
 for example, is a good place ; by being lost it 
 is not meant that you are to get bogged in 
 Hudson County, or snarled up in the woods 
 of Sussex County. There might be some ex- 
 citement in either of these situations and a ter- 
 rible lot of fun. No, the idea is to go into an 
 unfamiliar country and allow your legs to carry 
 you in any direction that 
 their whim compels. 
 
 Of course, you are not 
 to get hopelessly and 
 seriously lost ; but how 
 could you, any way, 
 where there is a road 
 or houses in sight from 
 almost any point? You 
 are to be a child, and 
 enjoy the world simply 
 and aimlessly. After 
 you have roamed hither 
 and yon, turned 
 to north and 
 south as the fancy 
 seized you, e x - 
 p 1 o r e d glens, 
 climbed hills and 
 rested in the shade 
 of trees, it will 
 be a test of your 
 wood-craft and of 
 your geographical 
 instinct to find 
 your way home 
 again 
 
 Plainfield is a 
 feasible starting- 
 point to get lost 
 from. It is only 
 twenty-four miles 
 from New York, but that is far enough to 
 make it seem as if you were as safely lost as 
 you would be in Michigan. The town itself is 
 pr. tty. 1)ut except for its little art gallery it need 
 not detain you In order to save your legs for 
 further use in more sylvan places, take here a 
 Somerville Street car to its terminus, thence fol- 
 loAving the very pretty Stony Brook through 
 Washingtonville, passing the little Wetumpka 
 Falls by the way, and climbing the hill you reach 
 the famed Washington Rock. The view from the 
 rock is the widest and most agreeable to be had 
 anywhere in the neighborhood. It may or may 
 
 not be true that Washington used to go up there 
 to stud}' the movements of the British troops. As 
 the British were out of sight from the rock it is 
 very likely that he didn't. But if, as is more 
 likely, he went up there to rest and think and 
 enjoy the prospect, it speaks well for his taste. 
 There is a green plain twenty miles wide, 
 stretching away to the " Kills" that cuts olf Staten 
 Island from the main land ; and the Navesink 
 
 Highlands, Statue 
 of Liberty and 
 Brooklyn Bridge 
 are in sight on a 
 clear day. 
 
 After enjoying 
 tliis view take the 
 road that turns 
 across the hill and 
 that presently drops 
 you into Washing- 
 ton Valle.v, where 
 you will find a bet- 
 ter road. Turn to 
 your left along 
 this better road and 
 you will come, in 
 a little while tc 
 Warrenvilie, where 
 it forks. Now take the 
 right turning and cross the 
 western roll of the "W'atch- 
 ung Mountains, slightly 
 higher than the first ridge 
 that fronts the plain, pass- 
 ing through Mount Bethel. 
 But we are not going to 
 keep on directing you. We 
 have lured yoii so far only 
 that you may get safely 
 away from the settlements 
 of importance. You are 
 now in a pleasant, rolling land, witn a quiet- 
 ness upon everything that i^uts you in thought and 
 fact far from New York, and you can ramble 
 now until you reach the Pacific Ocean, if your 
 mood and money hold out. There is the Passaic 
 just ahead, deep enough for a swim in a few 
 ])laces, and deep enough to paddle in barefoot, 
 any way, and just the other side of Long Hill, 
 which makes a wall on the farther side of the 
 river, is Great Swamp, one of its feeders. 
 
 Now you can roam all of a long day without 
 running into anything more exciting than a hamlet 
 where the fathers still vote for Andrew Jackson, 
 
 A Shipping Clerk without BULLINGER'S GUIDES is a good deal like a

 AT nine o'clock in the morning, every day in 
 ^"^ tlie week, boats leave New York for the 
 Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers. Not the big 
 excursion boats with their rushing and crushing 
 crowds, their sheet-iron sandwiches, "who wants 
 tlie waiter" and disgusting beer-slopped decks, 
 but quiet, unpretentious little crafts that take you 
 thirty-five (jr forty miles into a 
 country that you've probably 
 never heard of, and bring you 
 back again in time for a late 
 supper, with an appetite that 
 would ruin a boarding-house 
 and only charge fifty cents for 
 doing it. You can even get a 
 dose of mal-de-mer thrown in, if 
 3'ou choose a blustering, windy 
 day or try to smoke a cheap 
 cigar on tiie quarter-deck. We 
 know little or noth- 
 ing of these salty 
 rivers, sweet with 
 the odor of sea- 
 grasses, spreading 
 out, with their 
 beautiful bays 
 and inlets, like 
 the arms of an 
 octopus, over 
 t h e J e r s e y 
 coast. Yet 
 here is the 
 iiome of the 
 hiscious soft- 
 shell crab, the 
 clara and scal- 
 1 o p . The 
 name of Fair- 
 haven recalls 
 no memories of an an- 
 cient day, yet here the juicy 
 oyster is snatched from his little bed 
 and turned, for our delectation, to a ' 
 box." 
 
 Let us make the trip some bright summer day 
 and have something beside baseball to speak of 
 in after years. Let us get up early some morn- 
 ing and take the nine o'clock boat for Red Bank. 
 Red Bank don't amount to much ; it's a pretty 
 place, but is nice chiefly as a good starting point 
 for pleasant rambles of many sorts. 
 
 A ting-a-ling of the bell, and a toot of the whistle 
 and we are ofll: down the river, past the Battery, 
 and before we have made up our minds which is 
 
 ■ fry in a 
 
 the shady side of the boat, we have passed 
 Quarantine and are running out through the 
 Narrows, with the frowning forts on either side 
 of us, and what appears to be the ocean in front ; 
 having run through the finest harbor, in every 
 sense, in the world. Sheering off to the right, we 
 get a glimpse of South Beach, the Coney Island of 
 ^._^ , r-^ Richmond County, and 
 
 A in a few moments are 
 passing the Quarantine 
 Islands and stiaming 
 across the lower bay at 
 a lively gait. The city 
 is fading from om- view; 
 the domes and minarets 
 of lower Broadway are 
 "hull down;" the cas- 
 tles of Brighton Beach 
 are hiddeu in the haze, 
 and for aught we know, 
 the captain may be 
 heading us for Europe. 
 But we are soon in sight 
 of land, and in answer 
 to our anxious inquiries, 
 learn that it is Jersey. 
 From dreams of Europe 
 to the sight of Jersey is 
 about ten minutes, dead 
 reckoning, but we greet 
 it as a long lost friend, 
 and feel like sharing the 
 contents of our lunch 
 basket with the gentleman 
 in the pilot house. 
 Taking a seat at the 
 front of the boat, we look 
 out upon a scene, strange 
 and beautiful. On our right, 
 the Highlands, studded with 
 pines, and on our left a narrow 
 strip of land, terminating, al)oul 
 a mile behind us, in Sandy Hook, 
 and separating us from, but not 
 hiding, the ocean beycmd. 
 
 The scene, from our places on the upper deck 
 will never be forgotten. Pleasure boats of every 
 description dotted here, there and everywhere. 
 
 Sailino- 
 
 fishino; and 
 
 crabbing 
 
 Canoes 
 
 dodging in and out ; bathers on the beach ; saucy 
 little launches puffing away for dear life ; and 
 a brightness over everything. We run through 
 the drawbridge, fcteer to the right, under the 
 shadow of the lighthouses, those guiding stars 
 
 BULLINGER'S GUIDES are good things to have at your elbow, 
 they answer many perplexing questions.

 to the marincT, which stand hi.ch up on the 
 edge of the cliffs ; call for a inoiiicul at the 
 Ilighlauds, and on again, to the right, up the 
 Navcsink, making several more stops, and reach- 
 ing Kcd Bank by about noon. 
 If we have our wives or sweet 
 hearts with us, as we should 
 have, we can sock a (piiet 
 spot, easily found within 
 a mile, in the woods 
 or on tlu; shore, 
 by taking the^" 
 road towards . 
 Oceanic, or over 
 the river, and eat 
 our lunch and other- 
 wise disport ovu-selves 
 until the boat returns 
 
 But if we arc 
 still novices, of 
 •'maiden medita- 
 tion, fancy free," 
 let us put our 
 lunch in our 
 pockets and stait 
 for a walk. Let 
 us go the w ay we 
 came. Follow the 
 river back again 
 
 and see where it 
 
 takes us. We 
 
 have plenty of 
 
 time. The boat 
 
 does'ut leave 
 
 again for four 
 
 hours, and we can 
 
 take it at any of 
 
 the landings 
 
 lower down. 
 We go through 
 
 Red Bank with 
 
 its crowd of Sum- 
 
 m e r cottages — 
 
 mansions for the 
 
 rich and cabins for the 
 
 poor — and out among 
 
 the green fields. A walk 
 
 of two miles brings us 
 
 to F a i r h a v e n . and we 
 
 wander down by the river, 
 
 exploring the shell-covered beach, sit 
 
 on an up-turned boat and eat our lunch. Some 
 
 one tells us it is four miles to Oceanic ; what 
 
 of it •! Tlu! roads are good and shady ; our 
 
 spirits are high, and we've plenty of time. The 
 
 walk to Oceanic is a treat. The sky and carih 
 
 ki.-s each other, o'er sun lit waves or cnicrald 
 fields, and the roads and p.ilhs an; llirough en- 
 chanting combinations of faniis and villas. Wc 
 meet the organ-grinder witli his monkey ; the 
 itinerant merchant with his warehou.se on liis 
 back ; we see the fish hawk's 
 nests high up in the trees — 
 and we reach Oceaiucas fresh 
 as tile proverbial lark. 
 There are still tiie same 
 ood roads to tempt us 
 en. and iSeabright 
 three miles ahead. 
 We gradually 
 1( ave the Nave- 
 sink, and another 
 hour finds us 
 crossing the 
 Shrewsbury Kiv- 
 er at Seabright, 
 and once again on 
 the narrow strip 
 of sand, and tlie 
 ocean at our feet. 
 From here we can 
 take the Pleasure 
 Bay boat for 
 home, but the 
 walk along the 
 shore is tempting, 
 as the breakers 
 come rolling gen- 
 tly in, and in 
 twenty minutes 
 we are down at 
 Highland Beach, 
 over the swing 
 bridge and back 
 airain at the High 
 lands, where those 
 us who have any 
 grit," climb the hill 
 to the lighthouse and 
 obtain a view that 
 alone is worth the 
 
 whole trip. 
 The boat .st(anis 
 
 up about five 
 
 o'clock and we take 
 
 our seats, prepared to 
 
 thoroughly enjoy a two hours 
 
 rest ; pleased with ourselves and 
 
 the chance that took us there. 
 
 Fare for the round trip fifty rents ; from 
 
 ,,„, toSpm. A whole day of fresh atrot the 
 
 irLshest kind, ande.erci.es of the very best sott.

 WITH AN OAR OR TWO. 
 
 FIFTY CENTS. 
 
 A 
 
 PICNIC or a stroll with one's own k'gs, as 
 motive power, has an element of certainty 
 about it ; you know where you are going, and 
 how far to go. There are many who think that 
 they will do better with a boat and oars. If 
 they know it all, all right ; if they don't, they 
 had better walk and pull the boat, canal-mule 
 fashion. 
 
 Rowing is fine, no doubt, sftying nothing about 
 the perspiration and the stiif arms and back it 
 engenders ; but when to these you add the catch- 
 ing of numerous "crabs," and the consequent 
 mortification, the horrid blisters on the hands 
 and fingers, the sunburn on the neck and the 
 
 port-wine coloring of tlie nose, one may be in- 
 clined to wish that the seductive temptation had 
 been withstood. However, if you must go a- 
 boating (and it is certainly not the poorest 
 anuisement in the world) find, if possible, some 
 water that will bear your bark in shady and 
 sequestered glades, where the summer sun's rays 
 will not always grill and broil. Such a water 
 course is hard to find. The waters 
 around New York are eitht r too wide 
 and too open for shade, or too shallow 
 for boats with human freight. We 
 know the spot, however, where "the 
 wild thyme grows." It is in .lersey — 
 dear little Jersey — the Hackensaek 
 River. You must go to Hackensaek ; 
 Anderson Street Station of the New 
 Jersey & New York Railroad is the 
 best. It is about six minutes walk 
 from Anderson Street bridge, at which 
 they will rent you a boat from fifty 
 cents a day, upward. 
 
 Don't try to scull. Start with two 
 
 oars at least, although if you are 
 
 captain of the crew, and an oarsman, 
 
 you will know better than to take 
 
 more than two. Lifelong friendships 
 
 have been fractured by the laughter 
 
 and derision e.xcited by the frantic 
 
 efforts of ambitious oarsmen, who 
 
 knew nothing about rowing. 
 
 Point your craft up the river. It is, 
 
 in its way, a very exceptional stream. 
 
 Its bed is laid over just enough shoals 
 
 and bars to afford you the occasional 
 
 excitement of incipient shipwreck, and it 
 
 has deep pools, in which the wary, small 
 
 monsters of the deep tempt you to stop 
 
 and try the persuasive powers of a well 
 
 baited hook. You have company on its 
 
 bosom, too 
 
 schooners, in tow of 
 pass up and down, as reminders of the 
 busy world that seems so far away from 
 this wonderful (piietude. Along the banks 
 run trains, threading their sinuous way 
 among the shrubbery and the little hills. 
 The whole course of the stream is 
 diversity itself. While here, "on the wide marsh 
 the purple blossommed grasses soak up the 
 sunshine," 'tis but a few rods and bits of dark

 narrowiiiij down into swift lillle 
 
 batli houses of city residents meet you licre and 
 tluTc. Now 
 
 stone-fretted straits, anon spreading 
 out into calm reaeiies, the river 
 shows its many changing phases of 
 hill and meadow, of calm and fret, 
 of nature and art, in a most en- 
 chanting variety. 
 
 It is alx)ut four miles to Oradell, 
 and on the way you Avill have 
 passed many a ])laee where the 
 temptation lo land and rest awhile, 
 or discuss the lunch that you will 
 wisely lake with you, was irresistible. 
 Don't avoid these tempting spots 
 always; one of the best parts ol 
 the fun (if rowing is to stop and 
 rest often, very often, and this is just 
 the place for that ]iart of the fun. 
 
 If you can atTord to risk your- ' 
 self out late at night, (h)irt turn 
 back at Oradell, until the sun is well 
 down. The current will help you 
 home. A moondiglited stream, with 
 summer evening zephyrs, and the 
 myriad voices of bird and insect life 
 clianting tlieir evening Te Deums, will 
 be an experience of nature's most 
 beautiful time, " the sweet hour of 
 rest," tliat will make you 
 
 "In listless quietude of mind 
 Yield to all 
 
 The change of cloud and wave 
 and wind." 
 
 Such an outing, properly taken, in 
 the spirit of rest and i^leasure, with 
 a little pull and a good deal of laying 
 off, and a listless drifting home, with 
 perhaps a bit of song, is simplj- 
 delicious. 
 
 The railroiid fare is only tifty cents 
 for the round trip, the hire of the 
 boat will be about fifty cents. If you put in a 
 whole day at it, with the rush of the average 
 
 Ameri(!an-oiiting, it will 
 more for arnica, witcii 
 
 cost you Hometiiing

 "THE valley of the Hudson has begotten more 
 legends, and more poetry, and more romance 
 than any other part of the country. The very 
 names of the beautiful hills that outline its banks 
 "betoken the queer ideas that haunted it — " Cro' 
 N'est," "Break Neck," "Anthony's Nose," " Dun- 
 derburg," etc., etc. ]Mad Anthony Wayne, the 
 gifted Andre, the traitor Arnold, and others, un- 
 
 numbered, have left their names on the pages of 
 its history. Cowboys, and Skinners, and Con- 
 tinentals, and Royalists, fought to and fro over 
 its hills and valleys. Its whole atmosphere is re- 
 dolent of noble deeds of great men. 
 
 The New York Central will take you over 
 ground, about which cluster memories of the 
 varied changes of our earlier struggles for liberty. 
 
 Along the Harlem, through High Bridge, Kings- 
 bridge (where the first toll bridge was built), on 
 to Spuyten Duyvil, was the southern boundary of 
 the "neutral ground" over which ranged " Cow- 
 boys" and "Skinners," intent on plunder, with 
 war as an excuse. At Youkers is the old manor 
 house of the Phillipse family, where dwelt j\Iary 
 Phillipse, said to be the first love of George 
 Washington. At Hastings, Cornwallis 
 crossed the river to attack Fort Lee. At 
 Dobbs Ferry is the old mansion in which 
 the British officers decided upon the evacu- 
 ation of New York City. At Tarry- 
 town, Major Andre was captured, and 
 here is Sleepy Hollow, and the grave of 
 Irving, and the same old bridge over 
 which the headless horseman chased poor 
 Iciiabod Crane. 
 
 At Irviugton, but a long stones throw, 
 as it were, from the city, is Sunnj^side, 
 the home of our sweet writer, Irving. 
 It is well worth a visit, and in connec- 
 tion with a ramble over the mountain 
 into the Nepperhan Valley will give an 
 experience s tr an ge enough to fill 
 many a day. 
 
 The New York Central will land 
 you at Irvington in fifty minutes. 
 Note the fishermen along the river 
 shore, as you go, in boats, or on 
 the rocks or little docks. 
 
 Sunuyside lies north of the station. 
 It is a stone-gabled house, built by 
 the privy councilor of Peter Stuyve- 
 sant, commanding a majestic view 
 of the river and highlands. 
 
 The new building, from which the 
 great Cosmopoliton Magazine is is- 
 sueil in a monthly flood, 1^' s south 
 of the station, and is ' .il worth 
 seeing as an expression of the new 
 idea that no means are too good for 
 use in producing good work. The 
 road running east from this grand 
 building leads, under the magnificent 
 croton viaduct, to and through a 
 country five hundred miles from New York City, 
 or at least, it ought to be. For a mile or so an 
 assortment of modern villas, lawns, gardens, etc.. 
 is passed. By the roadside is the pump that 
 draws water for Irvington, from a hole five hun- 
 dred feet deep ; five hundred thousand gallons a 
 day, showing that the inhabitants of Irvington 
 nuist be eitiier very thirsty or very cleanly.

 Beyond tlic puinpiiin-housc the road cliinhs over 
 the mountain, throui;-li cuts and dclilcs in tlic 
 rocks and anions;- the Ijouidcrs, sind witlial, is of 
 the i<in(l that would disgrace the rou<i;h('st section 
 of the Rockies. Tliat sucli a road should exist within 
 twenty miles of New Yoik, is a marvel ; it is 
 worth a days jouiiuy to see it. Over this road 
 and niounlaiii, to the eastern slope, jiast a little 
 cluster of the kind of liovels always found in 
 the company of such a road, and the valley of 
 the SawnuU Creek opens out, with verdant sides 
 of _ii-ently slopinu" hills, fr;uniiiii' enchant ni_n' little 
 vales and glades of meadows, trees and water, 
 that would be ditlicult to match. 
 An old-lashioned country road, 
 with priinitivc fai-nis, meanders along- 
 the valley, and followinij,- the bed of 
 the little river is the line of the 
 New York A: Putnam Railroad, 'lliis 
 is the veritable valley of the sleep- 
 ers. Until Avitliin ;i few years, the 
 Hudson River Railroad on the one 
 side, and the Harlem Railroad on 
 the other, gave egress to the world 
 to those who wanted to see it ; but 
 the hills and mountains on either 
 side were so menacing that the 
 world beyond could not tempt the 
 people of the peaceful valley forth. 
 The recent years have left their im- 
 print in occasional heaps of debris 
 from the new aqueduct, and in the 
 shape of a few modern villas, but 
 otherwise <^he country is as charm- 
 ing as when, years agone, Phyllis 
 went to church on a pillion, and her Corydoi 
 piped to the gentle lamb and wooed tin 
 succulent potato. 
 
 At the foot of the mountain, the railroad 
 is met, between Worthington (platform) and 
 AYoodlands. Turn either north or south here, 
 .dong the track, or down by the river side, 
 or on the country road, as your fancy tempts 
 you. You may wander through the valley 
 until you are physically tired out, and yon 
 may wander all day before you will tiiv 
 of the sweet and pastoral country. You will 
 pass little platform stations, every mile or 
 so. The busy little river winds with truly ser- 
 pentine course, to and fro, through brawling bits, 
 and mirrored calm, and iiere and there wee lakes 
 and openings that frame ]>ictures beyond the artists 
 power. 
 
 A good walker, who has been wise enough 
 to allow time for it, shcjuld wander north from 
 Worthington, as far as Elmsford, arountl which 
 place cluster many memories. An old church, 
 raised in 1770, with century-old graves of revolu- 
 tionary patriots. Here is the monument of Van 
 Wart, one of the captors of Andre. 
 
 We ended our ramble and took the train at 
 
 Ardslcy. wher<> were signed the linal papers of 
 jx'ace between Eiighmd and tlie rnited Slates 
 of America, immediately after which the IJrilisli 
 left the country and liie Continental Army dis- 
 banded. 
 
 This valley has possibilities, present and future, 
 of rest and benedictions, for weary toilers of ilie 
 city, so near and yd so far, that its an<'ieiil 
 toilers never dreamed of. It is so aboriginal in 
 many respects that it will well repay an outing 
 visit. The old locomotive, used on the train the 
 writer rode on, tiie other day. was well worth a 
 picture; with one of the old original big smoke- 
 
 stacks, it vomited forth great masses of black 
 sul|ilnin>Hs smoke, and burning cinders as large 
 as iieas and nuts, that left an inunense cloud 
 behind it, shutting out the sun and heavens for 
 a while: its awful trail of gas made the sweet- 
 ness of the atmosphere the more enjoyable. 
 
 The walk from Irvington across the mountain 
 to the railroad, is about two miles, and to Ardslcy 
 about two miles more ; to Elmsford and return 
 to Ardsley would be about two miles additional. 
 The fare to Irvington is forty- four cents ; from 
 Ardsley to One Hundred and Fifth-tifth Street is 
 forty cents; total expense, eighty-four cents.

 THE ELIZABETH RIVER. 
 
 FIFTY CENTS. 
 
 WITHOUT being ex- 
 actly a liar, he had 
 fallen into the habit of 
 disregarding the truth to 
 such an extent, that 
 whenever he commenced 
 a story, as he often did, 
 of having discovered some 
 new place, or done some 
 hitherto unheard of deed, 
 or caught big fish—" 
 bigger fish than you ever 
 saw down in Fulton Mar- 
 ket" — we usual- 
 ly laughed at 
 him; but he 
 "caught" us the 
 other evening as 
 we rode togeth- 
 er to Harlem, 
 and he told us 
 a long rigma- 
 role, that lasted 
 all the way to 
 One Hundred 
 and Twenty- 
 fifth Street, 
 about the Eliza- 
 beth River, with 
 its whirling ed- 
 dies, its rippling 
 rills and its shady 
 knolls, and about nightin- 
 gales and fish (he never 
 forgot the fish). But when 
 we suggested going with 
 him on the Saturday after- 
 noon and taking a look at 
 the place, he had an en- 
 gagement else- 
 where, possibly c 
 to unearth some ' 
 other wonder. 
 
 However, he 
 told us a lot more 
 about it, and how 
 to get there, and 
 even offered to 
 reimburse o u r 
 exchequer if we 
 didn't like it, so 
 we followed his 
 instructions, and 
 caught the ten 
 past one train on 
 the Jersey Cen- 
 tral, for Eliza- 
 
 beth. "We were 
 there in a little 
 over half an 
 hour. The ride 
 in the cars was 
 a pleasant sur- 
 prise, for after 
 clearing Jersey 
 City, we seem- 
 ed to be run- 
 ning round the 
 Bay, at many 
 points close to 
 the water. We 
 could see away 
 down to the 
 Narrows, and 
 as we ran on a 
 mile or two a 
 collision with Staten Is- 
 land seemed inevitable, 
 but Constable Hook came 
 between us. and we pass- 
 ed it without accident; 
 running bj' the pretty 
 stations of Bayonne ; 
 catching a 
 glimpse of the 
 New Jersey 
 Athletic Club, 
 and plunging 
 headlong into 
 the sea; at least, 
 it seemed like 
 it, for the wa- 
 ter was on ev- 
 ery side, and 
 nothinir but the 
 force of circum- 
 stances to keep 
 us out of it. 
 We regained 
 our courage as 
 the train pulled 
 up in Elizabeth, 
 having crossed 
 the Newark Bay on a tres- 
 tle nearly two miles long. 
 Elizabeth is famous 
 chiefly, for its commuters, 
 l)ut whether its commu- 
 ters are famous for any- 
 thing is indeed question- 
 able. Of the river which 
 biars its name there is 
 no doubt. Hidden away,

 repaid for our trouhle. WalUinii- aloiii^ Morris 
 A\cnue. we found it in almut three minutes, 
 running lazily alonij; under a little hridnc, where 
 some small hoys were takiui;- an early lesson in 
 |)atienee. The lirst lane on our riii'lit hrouii'ht \is 
 lo its hanks : we took the ri<;ht one. from iieces- 
 .sity. and heuan our explorations at that point. 
 
 'rwistiiiir and turnini,'' nhout like an eel; huli;- 
 iiii^ out at one spot and contraetinu: itself at an-

 throuiih, cool and shady f^rovvn, out into the open 
 lields, where it assumed the proportions of a res- 
 <'r\(iir, and on at;'ain into a viriiin forest. A uroup 
 of lishermen had «ou.!J,"lit a (piiet ])ool on the oj)- 
 j)()site hank, so we took a seat beneath a n'iant 
 chestnut, determined to verify the legend we had 
 Iieard. A man with a .i;un, in (juest of uamier 
 food, sjioke of haxiiii;- shot hlue heron in these 
 Avoods — had he said crocodiles we could easily 
 have lielie\'ed him. A short walk l)roui;ht us to 
 the Lehigh Valley Railroad and to the meadows 
 again. A fallen tree, worn liat with use, served 
 as a bridge over the stream, and we crossed it to 
 its western bank : ])assed an old mill, crossed tJie 
 Salem road, and plunged int(» the w(»ods once more. 
 
 Here an artist was busy witii a lovely view. 
 A stalely willow was pressed into service us n 
 foreground, and seen through ils branches, the 
 river divided into several .streams; the Hurdighl 
 trickled through myriad lilile npenings in lh<' 
 foliage, and the .scene was lluoded with a golden 
 line. We lingered for awhile, then taking the 
 left branch of the river, came only too soon to 
 the lields. Asleep little lull on our right tempted 
 us to clind) it. and the view from ils Kuriimit 
 was anothi'r surju-ise. covering an e.\ pause of 
 surrounding country, as delightful as it whs un 
 expected. 
 
 Descending to the ri\( r. we cro.ssed it at Liml- 
 say's Farm, and in live minutes were on Morris 
 AveDiH', about three miles from w here we started. 
 A walk of less than a mile, over a pleasant mad. 
 with the sun low (h)\vn in tlie west, brought us 
 to the .Morris Avemie Station of the Lehigh Val- 
 ley Railroad, where we caught a train for New 
 York, determined, for the future, to jiay mf)re 
 respecllul attention to the adventurotis talcs of 
 our |)revaricating friend. 
 
 The railroad fares were twenty-five cents each 
 way. and our oidy regret was that we liad not 
 gone early in the morning, ami spent the (hiy 
 there.

 "FISHIN"'— WITH A TRIPOD.

 ttQRANFORD!" yelled the brakeman as 
 
 pushed the tip of his nose iuto 
 smoking car. "Cmnford," 
 he howled in a louder tone, — :^- 
 tlien banged the door to, 
 evidently fearing to be 
 asphixiated by the smoke, 
 or fancying that anyone 
 travelling in such an atmos- 
 phere must naturally be 
 going to Pittsburg. He 
 was mistaken, however, for 
 I grabbed ni}^ camera and 
 tripod and got out. A 
 camera weighs 
 no more than a 
 paint-box and a 
 camp-stool, and 
 paints much bet- 
 ter pictures than 
 I can, so I alw^ays 
 take it along 
 when an oppor- 
 tunity for gettiog 
 out of the city 
 presents itself. 
 
 An enthusi- 
 astic Jerseyman 
 had told me that 
 a walk from 
 Cranford to Mill- 
 burn, taking in 
 Branch Mills and 
 Springfield by the 
 way, would do 
 me more good than a bottle 
 of sarsaparilla so, as it 
 costs about the same, I 
 determined to try it. 
 
 It's a good plan 
 when in a strange 
 place, to " inter- 
 view" the na- 
 tives. They never 
 seem to have 
 much to do, and 
 are usually will- 
 ing to indulge in 
 a little chat, 
 buttonholing 
 colored 
 man who 
 
 so 
 a 
 
 gentle- 
 was 
 
 hanging over the 
 bridge which 
 spans the Rah- 
 way River, and 
 making faces at 
 his own refiec- 
 
 he tion in the water, I asked him the way to Branch 
 the Mills. He heaped a few more insults on his 
 
 sliadow.then gave 
 , me the desired 
 information. 
 
 "It's three 
 miles, Boss, right 
 up the Spring- 
 tield Avenue ; 
 you cross the river 
 again. Boss, and 
 keep to the left 
 over the hill and 
 say. Boss, there's 
 good fishin' up at 
 the lake." 
 
 I wondered 
 why he mention- 
 ed the "fishin'," 
 liut took his ad- 
 vice and the 
 Springfield Aven- 
 ue, passed the 
 liver again, shaded by 
 massive overhanging 
 trees, and forming a boun- 
 dary to many a 
 lovely garden. 
 Tiny little boats 
 were moored, here 
 and there, lo steps 
 leading down to 
 the waters edge, 
 recalling to mind 
 the annual water 
 carnival, when the 
 river is illumin- 
 ated by thousands 
 of tiny lamps and 
 "all Cranford "is 
 pulhng an oar. 
 
 The darkey 
 over-estimated 
 the hill, but he 
 was right about 
 the three miles; and a 
 pleasant tramp it was. 
 A yellow dog accom- 
 panied me for about a 
 mile, and we parted good 
 friends when he met a lady 
 of his ae(^uaintance. I was 
 in Branch Mills before I 
 knew it, and might never 
 have known it but for an 
 elderly party, who enquir- 
 ed the time, and asked me 
 if I was going "fishin'."

 "FISHIN"'— WITH A TRIl'OD. 
 
 An hour had passed witlintit any sense of fati,u:ue, 
 and a drink from tlie pump in a farm yard had 
 allayed an incipient thirst, hut aroused a suspieion 
 as to the (piality of their milk. 
 
 Over the hriduf and along hy the mill-race 
 hrought me in live minutes to Echo Lake, an 
 ideal spot for the artist or the poet, the tisher- 
 maii or the hotaiust ; surrounded hy a forest of 
 stately trees and carrying along with its gentle 
 ripples the fragrant odor of llowers and f< rns. 
 The (lusty miller, hitching up his horses to a 
 load of grain, hailed me with a cherry good day, 
 and with a snule as broad as the lake itself, 
 observed, "been fishin' I supiiose." 
 
 Coining back to the main load I turned to the 
 left and struck out for Springtield. The road 
 was good and free from dust, and a springy bit 
 of turf served as a sidewalk. Shady little lanes 
 running otY on either side offered tempting in- 
 ducements, but the Orange mountains loomed up 
 ahead, and a premonition of hunger prom])ted 
 me to push on. Half an hours walk bmught 
 me to an oasis in the desert — the roadside; iim, 
 shown in the jiicture ; note the seductive sign 
 "bottle beer, ten cents." 
 
 A couple of sandwitches, a bottle of the l)eer 
 and a rest of fifteen minutes made a new man 
 of me, and in an hour and a half after leaving 
 Branch ]\Iills, I was in Springtield, a quaint little 
 place with an old colonial church, a paper mill 
 and other evidences of prosperity. I paused here 
 awhile and made several inquiries of the natives 
 — more for the sake of conversation than from 
 any thirst for knowledge — and was surprised 
 
 to fmd that no oni' made any reference; to 
 " tishin'". Their minds, like ilic hills about 
 them, were on a higher plane. Turning to llie 
 left by th(! church— as the stage for Millburn 
 had done, two minutes before — I coverecl Ihr 
 mile and a half of pleasant couiilry road in abdut 
 thirty mimUes. and reached Milllairn about om: 
 o'clock, just three hours after leaving Cranfoni. 
 
 To the bieyclisi, ]\Iillbin-n is familiar as a house- 
 hold word. Ihre lie comes, day after day, not 
 to seek the shady nooks, the secpiestered paths 
 by the river side, or the narrow lanes where 
 the cuckoo's song is heard, but to train him.self 
 down to a skeleton in his aiunial elTori to win 
 the " twenty-livi! mih; road race" winch is held 
 here. A quiet pip(t by tiie edge of the stream, 
 and a mcditaticm on the shortness of holidays 
 occupied another hour, and I took the train for 
 New York, reaching there about four o'clock. I 
 had gone on the Central K.H. of IS'ew Jersey to 
 Cranford (fare forty cents), walked a little over 
 eight miles through some of thi' prettiest spots 
 in Jersey, and returned liome on the Delaware, 
 Lackawanna & Western, through the famous 
 "Oranges" (fare fifty cents). Ninety cents for 
 the trip. 
 
 " IIo-Roken " shouted the brakeman, as the 
 train rolled in to that famous summer resort, 
 and as I reached the platform he observed : 
 
 "Catch anything '! " 
 
 " Any what '!" 
 
 " Fish " said he, in evident disgust — and it 
 dawned ujion me, for the first time, that Jersey 
 had mistaken ni}' tripod stand for a fishing rod.

 them, and when

 of the too numerous, 
 ubiquitous Italian squat- 
 ter. But don't, unless 
 you are mosquito ]>roof, 
 attempt any painting 
 
 within or near the bord- 
 ers of these marshes. 
 I did it once. We pass- 
 ed through several small 
 villages, homes of the 
 long suffering commu- 
 ter, and after thirty 
 minutes, landed in the 
 pretty old Dutch settle- 
 ment, at Anderson Street 
 Station. Turning to the 
 right, w^e cast a passing 
 glance at the magniti- 
 ceut avenue of 
 elms, running 
 nearly the whole 
 length of Main 
 Street, that 
 gives you but a 
 faint idea of the 
 many beautiful 
 corners of this 
 quaint little 
 place, with here 
 and there an old 
 stone mansion, 
 o f ante-revolu- 
 tionary date. 
 
 Over Ander- 
 son Street 
 Bridge— a fairly 
 ugly one, as 
 bridges go — is the road 
 to Englewood, a nicely 
 shaded path that took us 
 to the top of the hill, 
 from which a grand 
 panorama was unfolded, 
 and the glorious 
 landscape over 
 the Hackensack 
 valley tempted 
 us to linger long 
 in the conven- 
 ient shade. A 
 walk of about 
 two m i 1 e s on 
 the main road, 
 brought u s t o 
 Phelps Park, 
 and following 
 one of the pretty 
 nari'ow drive- 
 wa3's for a few 
 minutes, we 
 came in sight of 
 the extensive

 ruins of a former residence of the late Minister 
 Phelps, which was destroyed by lire sonic years 
 ago. They are beautifully covered witli ivy and 
 ■creepers, and are most picturesque. Visitors, ai- 
 thouiih reciuested "not to touch," are welcome 
 to stroll around. 
 
 After a Tuorc or less faithful sketch of the 
 ruins, we \\andered on througli the densely 
 wooded park, and ahmit thirty nuiuites brought 
 us to a rustic little school house, where we were 
 ;assailed by cries of "say. nuster, will you paint 
 my picture?" Opposite to which, is anotlier ap 
 parently endless wood, and a little glad(( tempted 
 us to again open our boxes, but this time for 
 lunch. 
 
 After a rest and a quiet smoke, we took the 
 road due east, for about a mile, leading to the 
 isiunnut of a height from wliich the "kingdoms 
 
 of the earth" seemed almost unfolded, embracing 
 lull and dali', meadow, lieid and (lowered vale; 
 tile eye could hardly measur<' or infold the rich 
 and rare maze of form and c(jlor, linding rest 
 in the frame of the mist -topped hills, fading into 
 the far distant sky.

 col(jr, anyhow, which, if Van Dauber can't sell 
 as pictures, he i)hilosopliicall3' remarks, " dou't 
 make such bad wall paper." 
 
 Laying aside the artistic possibilities, from 
 Van Dauber's jioint of view, of this little 
 walk of seven or eight miles, I can truth- 
 fully say that he is a grand good judge of 
 the elements of a tirsl-class enjoyable "outing."

 there may be seen as delifflitful evening effects 
 across the water as the Bay of Naples has to 
 show. 
 
 "From this spot to the score of dining places 
 on City Island is a quarter hours ride or more 
 on the httle honse-car. City Island looks like a 
 primitive Soutliern watering place strayed North, 
 and a little slicked up to meet the recjuirenients 
 of new patrons. It is all glitter of sun or w;iter 
 and sand, with far horizons northward and great 
 
 grassy salt meadows landward, glorious in green, 
 and pinks, and sorrels. 
 
 "There are long strolls to be had on a smooth, 
 hard beach, a quaint Peggotty boatdiouse tavern, 
 made from an ancient ship of war. and twenty 
 places where you may have soft clams, liard 
 clams, clam chowder, crabs, and all other edibles 
 that come out of the water, along with whatever 
 else a catholic taste may prompt one to esteem as 
 proper accompaniments, liquid and solid." 
 
 There are many points of great historical in- 
 terest centered in this locality. It was along the 
 old winding road which still serves as a thorough- 
 fare tlu-ough Pelham Bay Park, that a brigade of 
 Continental troops, consisting of about four hun- 
 dred hardy New England fishermen commanded by 
 Colonel Glover, in the autumn of '76 effectively 
 disputed the advance of four Thousand British 
 regulars under General Howe, when that General 
 sought to interce])t the retreat of Wa.shington's 
 army from Harlem to White Plains. 
 Howe had landed his army at Pell's or 
 Rodman's Neck in the town of Pelham 
 
 J 
 
 opposite City Island, and advanced along 
 the Pelham highway toward Valentine's 
 Hill. By a series of clever manoeuvres, 
 Colonel Glover stationed liis men at ad- 
 vantageous points along tlie British line 
 of march, in four detachments, himself 
 witli forty picked men lying in ambush 
 behind a large rock (see picture) com- 
 manding the roadway. When the ene- 
 my's vanguard came abreast, the patriots 
 charged upon them, drove tliem back to 
 the main line and poured volley after vol- 
 ley into the close ranks of the invaders, 
 \N ho being disconcerted by this sudden 
 and murderous onshaught, retreated in 
 confusion, but soon rallied and charged 
 the handful of defenders, who now 
 fell back upon the next division. 
 
 Eagerly the German Chasseurs, and 
 the English Light Infantry and Grena- 
 diers, unsuspecting any device, rushed 
 in solid column along the narrow road, 
 in hot haste to capture or bayonet the 
 fleeing patriots, until on their right 
 flank the third division of the Conti- 
 nentals rose from behind the Avail and, 
 with accurate and steady aim, poured 
 in their fire at the close distance of 
 thirty jards. 
 
 Again the invading forces retreat- 
 ed, and again formed and pressed on 
 with extended lines. Once more they 
 were met with the determined tire of 
 the Continentals and held at bay until 
 the American retreat was Avell cover- 
 ed, and made to the fortified hills 
 west of the Bronx, where Howe Avith 
 his army dared not folloAv. It is said 
 that the enemy's loss in killed and 
 Avounded amounted to the relatively appalling 
 aggregate of eight hundred men, or tAvice the 
 entire number of Continentals engaged. 
 
 After a fcAV minutes ride into the park you may 
 enter a lane, through a pair of bars at the left, 
 which leads you out through the grove of primi- 
 tive oaks to the little peninsula called Pelham 
 Neck, Avhieh Avas once the favorite haunt of the 
 Great Minnieford tribe of Indians. Here they hol- 
 loAved out two great mortars in the rocks for

 ward is a glacial lurrow, an interest- 
 ing relic of tlu; pretertiary pei'iod. 
 High among the bi'anclies of the 
 towering oaks and chestnuts, the tish- 
 liawk builds its rustic nest and rears 
 its young, just above the splashing 
 rollci's, beneath whose crests they 
 plunge to bring their tinny prey — a 
 well selected morsel — from the mil- 
 lions that swarm in midiminishing 
 nunibci-s in the quiet bay. 
 
 Continuing down the Pelham high- 
 way and across the old wooden draw- 
 bridge which connects City Island 
 with the main-land, the little horse- 
 car conveys you along the samly level 
 and through the village to the ex- 
 treme scmthern point of the island. 
 Here the grassy slopes meet the tide 
 waves with a graceful curve — a min- 
 iature Battery Park — wliere one can 
 sit for hours and watch the full- 
 sailed yachts tacking to their race 
 course, and tlie pleasure steamers with 
 their loads of fresh-air seekers lieaded for 
 Glen Island, fast pursued by steam and 
 naphtha launches — the bicj'cles of the sea. 
 
 The distinctive feature of Pelliam Park 
 is its beautiful shore line, making it en- 
 tirely different from all of the City Parks. 
 Its only disadvantage is the cost of 
 reaching it. Aside from this, however, 
 it has advantages of all kinds that make 
 it a much more pleasurable Outing re- 
 sort than any of the others. 
 
 The opportunity for boating of all 
 kinds is unrivalled; within a few

 VAN CORTLANDT PARK. 
 
 THIRTY-FIVE CENTS. 
 
 CXCEPT for a few brief winter days, when 
 "tlic ball is up," proclaiming that its frozen 
 lake is open to skaters, Van Cortlanilt Park is 
 as little thouijht or cared about as tlie elements 
 of the sun ; perhaps hardly so much, for, while 
 we seek the slender shade of Madison or Union 
 Square, of Tompkins or Brj'ant Park — little 
 "squares" on the checkerboard of the great 
 city — that awful sun pours its raj'S upon us, and 
 
 we long for the rest and coolness of the night. 
 Yet, within an hours ride of the Battery, where 
 the bustle and tumult of the city reach it not, 
 stands Van Cortlandt Park, fit for the life and 
 lungs of the great New York ; nature's school- 
 room ; a storehouse filled with historical lore ; a 
 thing of beauty and a joy forever. 
 
 There is no journey v.hich, from the begin- 
 ning to the end, presents such a combination 
 of pleasing effects as the ride to Van Cort- 
 
 landt. The trip on the elevated railroads, from 
 the lower West Side to One Hundred and Fifty- 
 fifth Street, affords a panoramic view of the city 
 to be had from no other point, and to the mind 
 freed from the cares of work, offers an interesting 
 study of the magnitude and growth of the city, 
 such as no statistics can convey. 
 
 At One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Street and 
 Eighth Avenue we transfer to the New York 
 & Putnam Railway, cross the Harlem 
 -. , piivei-^ ;|iid traverse its eastern bank for 
 al)out four miles, where it takes a sharp 
 turn to the right and loses itself in the 
 mighty Hudson. 
 
 The scenery along these upper reaches 
 of the Harlem, as we pass through High 
 Bridge, Morris Heights and University 
 Heights (heights in fact as well as in 
 name) is matchless in its mantle of verdant 
 hues. On a bluff, overlooking the river, 
 stands the University of the City of New 
 York, and the view from this point has 
 been aplly described in the following 
 ■ds : 
 
 It looks westward upon the scene 
 the battle of Fort AVashington ; be- 
 yond, the Hudson is in view, with 
 the Palisades in the background; in 
 the front is Inwood, with the new 
 Harlem Ship Canal two hundred 
 feet below. To the north is Spuy- 
 ten Duj'vil. The new speedway 
 is in plain sight, and to the thou- 
 sands of New Yorkers who will 
 soon frequent that drive, no build- 
 ing will be more imiiressive." 
 
 A few minutes more and we are 
 at Van Cortlandt Station, within 
 the boundaries of the park and less 
 than a stones throw from some of 
 its chief attractions. 
 
 We regard with far too little 
 veneration those stirring events of 
 a century and a quarter ago, " the time that tried 
 men's souls," when heroes were moulded out of 
 "common clay"; when liberty was gained and 
 freedom won. Yet, to the deeds enacted on this 
 hallowed ground we are indebted for our presence 
 here to-day. 
 
 The quaint and curious stone mansion, built 
 as a residence for the Van Cortlandts, In 1748, 
 stands near the southern entrance to the park. 
 Here Washington came, in 1781, and on the shores

 of the lake, when" ^vc can pass so many pleas- 
 ant hours to-day, the soldiers of his army liov- 
 ercd around their eamp tires, throu.yh tiic silent 
 watches of the nis-ht. A.uain he made his iiead- 
 quiu-ters in this very house, and it was from 
 liere, on the ioth of November, 1TS:{, lie en- 
 tered the City of New York with Ins stalf, as 
 the last remnant of the llrilish army 
 left it, at the Battery. 
 
 The old null, standin.ii' hut a few- 
 yards from Van Cortlandt Station, 
 has a history of its own. It esjxiused 
 no eause, save that of hunii'er. It 
 iiround the flour for friend and foe 
 alike. It has known no enemy hut 
 the hand of time, and we should see 
 it ere it (!rund)k's, like ourselves, into 
 dust. 
 
 Seated beneath the line old ehesl- 
 nuts, j)lanted over a hundred years 
 ayo, which surround the mansion like 
 a miniature park, we can watch the 
 evolutions of our citizen-soldiers on the 
 niaii:nilicent parade ground, which 
 spreads out iu front of ns — tiat as a 
 billiard table, covering one hundred 
 and twenty acres, and admirably 
 adapted to .such a purpose — and reflect 
 that we are upon the very spot where 
 Washington reviewed las troops, so 
 many years ago. 
 
 Stretching away to the north, and 
 standing like a sentinel o'er the valley 
 at its feet, is Vault Hill. A few 
 little mounds, surrounded by a low 
 stone fence, proclaim it the last rest- 
 ing place of some tired travelers on 
 life's journey ; and in the calm seclu- 
 sion of its grateful shade we can 
 pause for a while and survey the 
 landsca))e 
 
 The tiny Mosholu creeps along 
 through the woods on f)ur right, 
 while to the vve.st the ever majestic 
 Palisades are outlined on the hori- 
 zon. Everywhere is peace and hap- 
 piness. From liere we can wander 
 on northward through the valle\-, 
 unchecked by aught except the desire 
 to linger on the way, until we reach 
 the outskirts of Yonkers. The lake is an endless 
 source of pleasure. Its upper end, hid<leu in the 
 woods, takes us where solitude reigns .supreme, 
 while to the south, a inagnitleent sheet of water 
 tempts us to try our skill with the oar or our luck 
 with a lishing pole. But there is an end to all 
 things, and, all too soon, our reluctant feet must 
 turn towards home. The little station of ]\Iosholu 
 
 is but half a mile on our left. A Avinding road 
 to the east lakes us, in half an houi", to Wood- 
 lawii, on the Harlem liailroad. But if time al- 
 lows, the walk of a nnle down the Mosholu 
 Parkway to Bedford Station — a ciiarming boule- 
 vard, connecting \'an Cortlandt with the IJronx 
 — will e.ause us to retlecl that our puiiiic works 
 
 may sometimes be also public pleasiues anil 
 benedictions. 
 
 The excursion fare from One Hundred and 
 Fifty-tilth Street to Van Cortlandt Park is 
 tweidy cents ; the fare one way, is lifteen cents, 
 and to return via Bedford Park is twenty 
 cents; a total cost of twenty-tive to thirty-tive 
 cents.

 So w^rote Tennyson ; he was a poet, and poets 
 live in the woods ; they breathe an atmosphere 
 of forests and flowers. They have nothing to 
 do but hide in the woods and write of the sky, 
 and the birds and fields. Tlu-y know nothing 
 of the busy, work-a-day world. 
 "Our fields are vaeant city lots; 
 Our woods are benches hard ; 
 Our mountain tops are chimney pots, 
 Our ozone comes from the yard." 
 Tlii.-; is the refrain of the cit}" man's 
 thoughts, as he struggles along through 
 a hot summer da}% with nothing but 
 the soda fountain as a substitute for 
 the 'rivulet' of the poet's dream. 
 Yet the stream flows at our do<ir. 
 The hills and valleys, tlie woods and 
 fields may be Iiad for the asking ; 
 but we never ask. We 
 sit up among the chim- 
 ney pots and listen to 
 the r h y t h m i c glang- 
 glangle of the car gongs, 
 and the more or less 
 euphonious cries of the 
 huckster, unconscious of 
 a paradise almost at our 
 hand. 
 
 " It would be diffi- 
 cult, aud probably im- 
 possible, in the State of 
 New York to find, with- 
 in an equal space, a tract 
 of such rare beauty, ri- 
 valing, if not in broad 
 expanded views, cer- 
 tainly in picturesque 
 loveliness, some of the 
 most romantic scenes in 
 the Adirondack region. 
 Though less than half 
 an hours drive from 
 the Harlem River, there 
 aie few in the City of 
 New York Avho are aware of its rare 
 cbarms of scenery. That such a spot 
 should exist in its original state, in 
 its native wildness, so near the set- 
 tled portion of the city and yet al- 
 most wholly unknown, and unsus- 
 pected, may well awaken sur]irise." 
 Thus it has been written of the 
 Bronx.

 nor one from '.vliicli we arc so loth to ])art, 
 when once we have I'ouml it. We can lead a 
 horse to the river hank luit we eaiiiiol make liiiii 
 drink ; and lliough we eaii uuidc and tcmjit dur 
 readers to tiiese p]lysian fields — is tlie pen potent 
 to persuade them ? 
 
 The Park is from one-half to three-ciuarlers of 
 a mile wide, and two miles long, the river run 
 ning through the centre, for its entire length. 
 
 Of the many ways of reaching 
 the Park, jicrliai^s that by the street 
 cars is the t'asiest and most desir 
 al)le. At One Hundred and Twenty 
 ninth Street and Third Avenue, or 
 at One Hundred and Thirty-eighth 
 Street and Eighth Avenue, a line 
 of trolley cars starts h)r West Farms, 
 and this we should take to its ter 
 minus. It runs along upper Third 
 Avenue for awhile, then branches 
 off to the east along the old Bos- 
 ton Post Koad, passing Crotona 
 Park, of which we know as little 
 as of the Bronx, and reaelu'S West 
 Farms in about half an hour. Walk- 
 ing a few yards up the Boston Hoad, 
 we pass the ice-house by the river 
 side, and the little boat-house with 
 its tiny boats, and impercei)tably the 
 woods close round us ; we hear the 
 song of the birds o'er head — we are 
 in the Park. 
 
 HidcU'n away, somewhere, in that 
 mysterious thing, the mind, is an 
 innate love of the beautiful, and 
 those who fail to tiud it here are 
 "men who can hear the decalogue 
 and feel no self-reproach." 
 
 Poets have sung the glories ol 
 the Bronx ; liistorians praised it in 
 a sterner Avay ; the birds are sing 
 ing it all day long, and w^e should 
 enjoy it while we may. At every 
 stei) we tind some point of inter- 
 est. A little to our left, where a 
 line of boulders points the way, we 
 come to one of nature's most curi- 
 ous freaks. Standing on a Hat. 
 smooth rock, and so balanced that 
 witli an ellort we can sway it to 
 and fro, is a huge boulder, weigh- 
 ing over a hundred tons; carried 
 there ages ago, by some mighty, 
 moving field of ice, and left for us, 
 as a souvenir. A little beyond, at a 
 the river, where the roadwa}^ si)ans 
 rustic bridge, a foaming ca.scade comes 
 down, split here and there by i)rojeeting rocks. 
 A roaring torrent in early spring, but now, a 
 plaything for the sweet suns rays to glisten on. 
 
 Within the sound of tlu! splashing .'Stream, the 
 Hermit of the woods has built his cave. Back 
 from the river, by the sid<' of a hill, his castle 
 of twigs and hniiiches sl.ands. Like a gnome of 
 the forests in fairy lore, he hoveis about these 
 silent woods, free to roam wherever he will, and 
 sharing at night his lowly couch with such of 
 the insect world as choo.se to visit him. And 
 here is "DeLaney's Ancient Pine," a giant of 
 the forest, towering one hundred and fifty feet 
 
 bend in 
 it l)y a 
 tumbling 
 
 above us— centuries old and just as the great 
 Creator framed it. 
 
 Wandering on. we pass tin- IVlham Koad, which 
 crosses the Park from east to west, and the 
 river is now our chief delight. Every leaf and 
 bough is ri-liected in it , the birds sing sweeter

 songs down here ; the fisU rise to look at lis ; 
 the garden of Eden is reached at last. Beyond, 
 the stream grows narrower, and rocks jut up 
 on either side ; the woods are denser hereabouts, 
 and a scene of grandeur is unfolded, the more 
 impressive because so entirely unexpected. 
 
 A little ahead of us is the gorge, reached by 
 a flight of natural steps, worn in tlie rocks by 
 the Indians, maybe, and crossed by a little 
 wooden bridge. The river is rushing along at 
 our feet, churned into foam on its stony bed, 
 over a lilliputian fall and on to its final goal, 
 the Sound. Nortiiward, it winds through a quiet 
 glade and is lost in a labyrinth of trees and 
 shrubs. Up on the heights, on the eastern bank, 
 is the old Lorillard mansion, set in a beautiful 
 modern park, a monument to the wisdom and 
 taste of its owner who chose such an ideal 
 spot for a home. 
 
 On either hand are shady paths, leading us 
 on for a mile or more. We meet the botanist 
 with his glass and box, and a book for pres- 
 sing his specimens in ; he tells us the names 
 
 of the tiny flowers and makes us feel like a. 
 child again. A road runs out due west, from 
 the gorge, not five minutes walk to Bedford Park 
 Station on the Harlem Railroad, from which we' 
 can reach the Grand Central in twenty minutes. 
 A mile above, at the head of the park, is Williams 
 Bridge, while lower down, about half a mile
