Florida ^ The White in*** e^ Mountains Winter* ^ in Summer* ORHOND AND HOUNT PLEASANT. •p'-* HE HOTEL ORMOND, which has been spoken of throughout the resorts of Florida in un- \Cr\ stinted praise of its table and the happy manner of entertaining its guests, has been, as it ^~-^^ were, transplanted for the summer from the sunny ridge of the Halifax Peninsula to the rugged heights of New Hampshire, where, in its more luxurious summer garb as the " New Mount Pleasant House," it continues to give refreshment and grateful shelter to the traveller. It is there the Mount Pleasant House, but in all that makes glad to tourists it is still the Orraond, as Messrs- Anderson & Price, with practically their entire force of skilled and efficient help, continue to be the living spirit within it. It is a beautiful building, located on the edge of the great White Mountain Plateau, at the north- ern entrance to the main pass of the mountains, the " Crawford Notch." The famous peaks of the White Hills encircle it, and their crystal springs and streams and glorious atmosphere bring health and gladness to its guests. The hotel caters for early and long season business, making rates to favor the early arrivals. The Mount Pleasant makes a specialty of entertaining travellers and tourists coming to the White Mountains to make the ascent of Mt. Washington, as it is the nearest house to the mountain, and the trains on the Mt. Washington Railway start from the very door-yard (after leaving the Fabyan station) to make the ascent, and it is the first hotel reached on the descent. From their own windows guests can see Mt. Washington from base to summit, and can decide in the morning whether to prepare for the ascent or await a more favorable day. It is the terminus in the White Mountains of the Concord and Montreal Line from Boston, and it has a platform landing close to the house for passengers on through train from New York by Conn. R. Line, and from Boston and Portsmouth by the Boston & Maine R. R., and from Mt. Desert, Poland Springs, and Portland as well as from Burlington and Montreal by the Maine Central R. R. Thus, by its accessibility from the outside, having through parlor cars to its very doors from New York, New Haven, Hartford, and Springfield, and from Boston, Montreal, Burlington, and Portland, and the ease with which it is reached from all the neighboring resorts, it is a most desirable tourist centre. It is a particularly favorable rendezvous for tourists going east from Saratoga, Lake George, Lake Chaniplain and the Adirondacks, as it is so easily reached from Burlington, the train leaving there at 10 30 A. M., via Montpelier, arriving at the station on the Mount Pleasant Hotel grounds at 4.05 P. M. The Mt. Plea-i^ant view of Mt. Washington and the "Presidential Range" is the grandest dis- play of mountain scenery in America ea.st of the Rocky Mountains. The pure water of the Mount Pleasant spring, and the pure air of the White Mountain plateau, 1,700 feet above the sea level, make it one of the greatest health resorts in the world. Driving is a great feature of the season at the Mount Pleasant, as ,from its central location, all the drives of the mountains are tributary to its livery, which is the best equipped in the White Mountains. The party wagons are especialU' comfortable, and of a kind not elsewhere in use, except at Poland Springs, for which place they were originally designed, and have there proved a most popular success. The house is striking in appearance architecturally, and is provided with every comfort and luxury of a thoroughly fir.st-class hotel. Among the minor features are electric lights, steam heat, open fires, private baths, bowling alley, billiards, shuffle board, tennis court, base ball field, golf links, mountain paths, and, as a final attraction, the very best table that can be provided. An artesian well, drilled four hundred feet through solid rock, and supplying the purest, softest water, is a notable feature. The orchestra is one of the finest among the New England resorts. DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. GLEN MOUNTAIN HOUSE WATKINS GLEN NEW YORK ^ ^ 'T^HE pure air of thi^ GtENP^oUNfAir^ ,ii-i-\x-^'. ■ mountainous region has proved so conducive to health, that an enchant- ing haven of rest, termed the Glen Jlountain House, has been built on a clift in the-life giving atmosphere cf pines and hemlocks, where malaria is un- known, and to whose cool shades thousands annually repair for rest and recre- ation. It possesses all the modern conveniences ; oc- cupies an elevation oi 300 feet above the village, and is the ONLY hotel con- nected with or in the immediate vicinity of Watkins Glen. The Uming Room is in a Swiss Chalet across the Glen from the Hotel, whereby allheal and uupleasant odors arising from cooking, and noise and confusion occasioned by servants, are wholly avoided, rendering the Glen Mountain House one of the most delightfulh- cool and p'ea.santly situated summer hotels in the United States. A beauti- ful iron suspension bridge (covered), one hundred feet above the water, connects the two and fully protects the guests from sun and storm. It is a charming and .somewhat novel idea and quite popular. Apart from the hotel is the Amusement Hall, where all rational amusements, mu.sic, dancing, billiards, bowling, and rifles for ladies, can be enjoyed. FREE admission to the Glen is enjoyed only by guests of the Glen Mountain House, notwith- standing publications of others to the contrary. Satisfactory arrangements will be made", and every facility afforded for the accommodation oi excursion parties, whether for the day or longer. Popular rates will prevail at the hotel, and any information requested will be promptly furnished by addressing W. E. ROBINSON, F-rop. GRAND HOTEL ^ BROADWAY & 31st ST.

Somerset Inn ^ ^ '_^_JSSSSB^- " I 'HE SOMERSET INN, near Bernardsville, on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Rail- ■*■ road, is located among the highlands of New Jersey, in Somerset County (and in addi- tion to the Inn there are for rent eight (S) handsome cottages, which cost to build $6,000 to $9,000 each, and are beautifully furnished). Appreciation of the healthfulness and charms of this section is shown in the many beautilul homes with which the hills are dotted. The most important feature of this part of the country, however, is its healthfulness. The spring water, of which there is an unlimited supply, has been again and again analyzed, witii tile result tiiat it has been pronounced by ciiemists the purest of waters. The dryness ot the climate has proved especially beneficial to those sufleimg from rheumatism, neuralgia and weakness of throat and lungs. Hard wood floors and trim, handsome new furnishings throughout, the best of beds, large, well-ventilated bed rooms and bath rooms, hot and cold water, gas, steam heat, open fire-places, spacious parlors, reading looms, foyer hall and wide piazzas, make one's surround- ings at Somerset Inn homelike and comfortable to a degree rarely found abroad. Every convenience is maintained looking to the comfort of our guests; telephone, tele- graph, post-office, good livery service, best accommodations for private turnouts, laundry, bowling alley, tennis court, golf links, billiard room, etc., while comfortable stages meeting the eight trains each way daily, make the Inn easy of access. Bettei roads for driving and cycling, more picturesque drives and walks, better water, milk and air, can no where be found. The country, lying as it does 800 feet above sea level, warm nights are unknown, and there are no nuisances, not even mosquitos. The grounds are tastefully laid out, and shade trees abound. The children have not been forgotten. A fine play-ground in the pretty grove is arranged for their pleasure, and a play-room, for those days which must come now and then, when the little ones cannot go out of doors. Here they may enjoy themselves to their hearts' content, and annoy no one. This is not an idealized picture of what we wish we could offer, but a plain statement of facts. Where else, so easily reached, can such accommodations and environments be found? The Inn will open for guests June third and remain open during the fall months. Should further information be desired Mr. GEO. W. TUTTLE, the manager, may be found at the Inn, and will gladly accord every couitesy and attention to inquirers, either personally or by mail. P. O.

CHE Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, in issuing its Summer Excursion Book for 1807, feels that it again places before the travelling public a book that will be found useful. The complete register that is given of all the available rural or urban spots along its line between New York and Buffalo, cannot but help the tourist, the vacationist and the holiday seeker in the selection of a resort, wherein the summer months can be spent to an advantage. A glance at the following pages will suffice to show that many of the most famous resorts in the States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York are directly on the Lackawanna Line, so that special allusion to them here is unnecessary. A description of each place is given, much space being devoted to such among them as rank as summer resorts of national fame. The illustrations herein contained are reproductions of photographs taken from scenes along the railroad, and are of a miscellaneous character. A feature that will commend itself at once is the exhaustive list of routes and rates that is given, and which can be utilized in connection with tickets purchased via the Lackawanna Road. Those in search of rest, of recreation, or of sport have only to o-lance through these pages, and from among the many mountain, lake and river resorts described, or from those where wealth and fashion reign supreme, select a place to their taste. The Lackawanna penetrates a section of country so diversified and so picturesque, that any person with an appreciation for the Creator's handiwork, as displayed through almost the entire region traversed bv this road, will be apt to reflect before making a choice. Great care has been taken in the compilation of this book to guard against errbrs, and it is offered to the public as a reliable guide and a work replete with interesting reading. The Company feels assured that the public will appreciate the effort that has here been put forward, and presents it to that public with the compliments of the Passenger Department.

N leaving New York, the traveller by the Dela- ware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad is carried across the Hudson by well appointed, double-decked ferry-boats, equipped with spa- cious upper and lower cabins, and lighted with elec- tricity. Barclay Street. The ferry from the foot of this street makes the trip to Hoboken in twelve minutes. Christopher Street. The trip across is made in five minutes. Hohotcen. Here is located the terminus of the Company's road, the depot being a model of artistic Ijeauty. The station is Gothic in design, with long sloping roofs, and on the northern side has a high, narrow tower, which adds greatly to its attractiveness. The general waiting-room is both large and airy. On the east side is the ticket office ; on the south side is a room for ladies and a smoking room for gentlemen. On the north side are entrances for Hoboken patrons, as well as for those who cross from New York by the two ferries. A good restaurant, where a buffet lunch can be obtained, is pro- vided in the waiting-room, and confectionery, fruit, etc., is obtainable at the counter adjoining. The baggage-room is on the north-west corner, and passen- gers and others will always receive prompt and polite atten- tion and answers to inquiries from the employees in that department. The United States, the only Express Company operating over the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, has an office located near the baggage-room, where its patrons can secure the benefits of its superb service. Its Order and Covtuiission Department can be called upon to procure for the Summer Ciuest or others all that is needed either from the city or the country. Experienced and well-informed ushers are stationed at the doors through which pas.sengers pass to the trains. These men give the inquirer any^ information concerning the arrival and departure of trains, and, before the departure of each train, call out the names of all the stations along the route at which stoppage will be made. The above-stairs portion of the station contains the head- quarters of this railroad's branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, which are fitted up attractively. The con- ductors have a comfortably appointed room adjoining, and a furnished reception room. Baths, hot and cold, are pro- vided. There is also a room in which all the men crm meet for social intercourse, reading, playing games, etc. ft THE HALL BLOCK SIGNAL. 20 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. The large train-shed contains nine tracks, all of which are occupied the greater part of the time by the incoming and outgoing trains. It has been the policy of this Company to abandon regular train service on Sundays, and this has been found to work to the best advan- tage. Only newspaper and milk trains are run on Sunday's, and this cannot very well be avoided. The motive power and rolling equipment of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western are of the most approved types. The locomo- tives are built for speed, and with a view to hauling capacity. Spark arresters and exten- sion fronts are being applied to all of those engines that were built prior to these innova- tions in modern mechanics, and all new engines are fitted with these appliances when built. In addition each engine is equipped with the " Blizzard" engine lamp for classifi- cation service. The exteriors of the cars are painted in the Company's standard color, dark green, while the interiors are finished in polished mahogany. The Company has adopted the Pintsch system of car lighting. Each car is fitted with globes containing four burners, from which a clear, white, brilliant light is obtained, which enables passengers to read in any part of a car without .straining the eyes. It is the opinion of experienced travellers that no railroad in this country runs better equipped, or has more easy riding cars than these ; and all trains are protected at the rear by two utiliiy side tail lamps, well elevated, thus securing the longest possible range for the rear danger signal. On all through express trains the modern vestibule attachment is used, and Pullman's best drawing-room and sleeping-cars are run. The Lackawanna is a double-track line to Buffalo, and is the shortest route run- ning between New York and that city. The road-bed is heavily ballasted with gravel and sand and is of unusual firmness. The heaviest steel rails are used to accom- modate the additional weight of the constantly improving motive power and rolling stock. By reason of these improvements travelling on this line is accompanied with all available ele- ments of comfort and ease. The enjoyment of j^^-^j^^^^^iKj ^ this result of skillful engineering and car build- ,1 ap^^^^ iug^ is materially increased by the using of an- thracite coal in the locomotives. " BLIZZARD." DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 21 morris ana Essex Division. ?ROM HoBOKEN the Morris and fCssex Division extends westward. One line runs by way of Morristowu, taking in the most beautiful and healthful resident section of Northern New Jersey. The Boonton Branch diverges in a northerly direction after leaving the big Bergen tunnel at West End, touching at Paterson and Boonton, crossing the former line at Denville and again connecting with it at Dover, Photo, by II. A. Henckel. N. Y. DEL.^WARE, L.\CK.\WANN-.\ ^: WKSTERN R. R. ST.VTION .VXD FERRY, HOBOKEN, N. J. (from which places both lines are operated westward as one to Washington, Warren County, N. J., seventy miles from Hoboken. The first station in New Jerse)', beyond Hoboken, is HARRISON. Altitude, 29 ft. 7.17 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 15 cts.; Excursion ticket, 25 cts. This town, formerly known as East Newark, is situated in Hudson County, and borders on the Passaic River. It is principally known for its manufacturing indus- tries. 22 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & W^ESTERN R. R. NEWARK. Altitude, 38 ft. 7.69 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 15 cts.; Excursion ticket, 25 cts. This city is the commercial metropolis of New Jersey. It is sitvaated on the west bank of the Passaic River, upon which craft of all kinds ply, and affords important communication with New York through Newark Bay and Staten Island Sound. Newark is one of the oldest cities in the State. It covers a large area in Essex County, and ranks as one of the most important manufacturing centres of the United States. Its iron and leather industries being among its chief industries. The population is over one hundred and eighty thousand. Broad Street, running north and south through the city, is one of the most attractive thoroughfares in the country, containing many great business hoiises, elegant residences and churches. Washington and Military Parks, with their numerous stately elms, are the pride of Newark ers. High Street is famous for the architectural beauty of its numerous costly dwelling houses. The extreme northern, southern and western sections of the city are largely occupied by residences, and Newark lays just claim to having throughout clean and well-maintained streets. The famous Passaic River course, where the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen occasionally settle their contests is situated here, and the course is known as one of the best for rowing used. It is decidedly picturesque on the Kearney side of the river, and at intervals, along both shores, the boat-houses of the various clubs are located. All conveniences of a first-class city can be had here. These include gas, electric light, fine hotels and boarding-houses, good street car systems, theatres, athletic clubs and churches of ever}- denomination. The drives in all directions are pleasing. Newark, too, is a healthful and well governed city. Its death rate is low, and epidemics seldom prevail. Several first-class daily papers supply the news. The society of the city includes a number of the most famous families of New Jersey. ROSEVILLE AVENUE. Altitude, 143 ft. 9 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 15 cts ; Excursion ticket, 25 cts. Formerly Roseville was a suburb of Newark, but the phenomenal growth of that city absorbed it. It is wholly a residential section, and stands high and dry at the summit of the heaviest grade on the division. The houses are tastefully built, nearly all of them being surrounded by gardens. Roseville Avenue is destined to become the most thickly settled part of the city, and residences are increasing with a rapidity worthy of a Western boom . At this station the Bloomfield Branch leaves the main line. The first stop is at WATSESSING. Altitude, 135 ft. 10.95 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 23 cts.; Excursion ticket, 40 cts. Here there is but a small settlement and a few farms. This is a congenial spot for quietude, and the residents have all the de.sirable elements of sociability. An important and progressive village just beyond it is BLOOMFIELD. Altitude, 124 ft. 11.5S miles from New York ; Single ticket, 25 cts.; Excursion ticket, 45 cts. The history of this town is associated with Revolutionary times, and it is among the best known places in the State. Although the enterprise of modern civilization DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. K. has imprinted itself in every section, yet there are some old-fashioned houses and other landmarks which serve to remind one that Bloomfield was on record a century ago. At the head of the park stands the old church, a sacred pile, that for more than one hundred years has stood to the glory of God. For many years Bloomfield has been the favorite resort of summer visitors. It is rich in its arboreal growth, has fine roads, good society, and all the elements that arise from thrift and progres- siveness. It is the home of many prominent business men, and the residences, in many instances, arc both sumptuous and costly. Adjoining Bloomfield, and but one mile beyond it, is GLEN RIDGE. Altiiiuh', 170 ft. 12.22 mile.s from New York ; Single ticket, 27 cts.; Excursion ticket, 47 cts. It can be consistently said that this is one of New Jersej^'s beauty spots. Built, as it is, upon a hill, which commands a charming view of the surrounding country, an attractiveness is given it that favors but few places in this region. Ten years ago Glen Ridge was little more than a wooded slope. Wealth and enterprise have developed the available acres, and the work of improvement is still progressing. This is a village of handsome residences, grassy lawns, park-like estates, and fine roads. The residents, for the most part, are New Yorkers, and these have all the push that characterizes the wide-awake Gothamite. Glen Ridge is a pleasant and a convenient spot in which to spend a summer. The last station on the branch is MONTCLAIR. Altitude, 239/1. 13 14 miles from Xew York ; Single ticket, 30 cts.; Excursion ticket, 50 cts. Montclair (often called the Athens of New Jersey), lying on the eastern slope of the Orange Mountains, is unsurpassed for beauty of situation and healthfulness in the vicinity of the metropolis. The majority of the residences command magnificent views of New York harbor and the surrounding country. The population is ten thousand, and the town is growing rapidly in a ver}' sub- stantial way. The public schools are excellent, and there is a military academy and several private schools. The churches represent all the denominations. The water supply is excellent, and the town enjoys all modern impro\emcnts. Three newspapers record all local matters of interest. Mountain Avenue, running at the l)ase of the mountain from the Orange line to Upper Montclair (3^^ miles), dotted by magnificent residences, is said to surpass any avenue or street in the vicinity of New York. Montclair cannot be seen, to be appreciated, in an hour or two. One must pene- trate its bj'-wavs and shaded avenues to realize how much nature has done for this terraced hamlet. About two-thirds of the roads are macadamized, and it will only be a matter of a few years when they will all be so. This town may be recommended as desirable in every way, as a place of residence. Verona and Caldw^ell are villages beyond Montclair, which are not on this line of railroad, but communi- cation with them is attained by a stage route that connects with all Lackawanna trains at Montclair. The stage fare is 10 cents. 34 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. Mention is made of these places, as they are widely known and appreciated for their remarkable health-possessing qnalities, and the picturesqueness of the sur- rounding country, together with their adaptabilitj' for summer residence. Returning again to the main-line, the next station beyond Roseville Avenue is GROVE STREET, EAST ORANGE. Altitude, 153 ft. 9.65 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 20 cts.; Excursion ticket, 30 cts. A town of phenomenal growth and rich with pretty homes. The streets are uniformly laid out, paved, curbed, and have flagged sidewalks. A feature of the place is that the houses, for the most part, are built separately, and have spacious lawns, neat gardens, and beautiful shade. The streets, too, are lined with spreading shade trees. There are churches of all denominations within easy reach. The near- ness to Newark and New York makes Grove Stteet a particularly desirable place of residence or temporary sojourn. EAST ORANGE. Altitude, 172ft. 10.04 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 25 cts.; Excursion ticket, 35 cts. The same maj- be said of East Orange as has been said of Grove Street. In reality the former may be called the town proper, as many of the large stores that supply residents are located here. No more bustling little place exists on the line. It has all the elements of enterprise, including water, electric light, etc., schools, churches, social clubs, etc. The Orange Athletic Club, known the country over, has fine grounds located here in the vicinity of the railroad station, and the drives which extend in all direc- tions are as delightful as they are varied. BRICK CHURCH. Altitude, i8o ft. 10.63 miles from New York; Single ticket 25 cts.; Excursion ticket, 40 cts. Years ago, before the Oranges gained the enviable distinction they now possess as places of residence, the old brick church marked the place surrounding which this delightful town has been built. The name, therefore, for some reason, has clung to it. Years ago the name may have been appropriate, but to-day it has no special significance beyond that it recalls memories of times gone by. Brick Church may be said to be in the heart of the Oranges. There are but few luxuries obtainable in a large city not available here, and this town long since established for itself a reputa- tion for being a most desirable one for residence. Here, situated on Prospect Street, is the beautiful home of the Orange Club, the principal social organization of the Oranges, and also the Orange Athletic Club House, which is both spacious and artis- tic in design. ORANGE. Altitude, 1S5 ft. 11.36 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 25 cts.; Excursion ticket, 40 cts. The city is located on a plain, almost level, and in all New Jersey no more delightful one can be found. Along the main avenue stores of all kinds do a thriv- ing business. Electric and other street cars run to nearby points, arrangements in this respect being most convenient. The streets of the city are uniformly laid out and delightfully shaded. The private residences have spacious lawns about them, and many of the structures are marvels of architectural beauty. Electric DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 25 lights and good water are anions- the luxuries. The city supports an opera house, and two or three nswspapers. Churchesof all denominations raise their spires in every part of the town. The system of schools is as perfect as can be found anywhere. A charm about the city is the high mountain range that skirts the western boundary. The range is called Orange Mountains, and is a spur of the Blue Ridge. It runs toward the northeast, and slopes gracefully toward the valley in which the city is partly located. At the summit of the mountain is located Llewellyn Park, laid out with every elegance of taste and effect in artistic landscape gardening. It contains the homes of wealthy people, and is acknowledged to be the most magnificent spot in New Jersey. Nearby, from Eagle Rock, a view of 25 miles around the country can be had. Thomas Edison, the "wizard of electricity," has a fine home in the park, as also had the late Gen. McClellan. The side of the mountain is flecked with imposing residences and finely laid out grounds ; among the oldest and finest being that of the Essex County Country Club, whose historic house and beautiful grounds make it one of the most charming country clubs in America. HIGHLAND AVENUE. Altitude, 183 ft. 12.23 miles froiu New \ork ; Single ticket, 30 els.; Excursion ticket, 50 cts. A few years ago this section of the Oranges was called " Valley Station," because the business portion lies in a valley. The name, in a sense, was misleading, because the side hills afford a most beautiful residence section. In addition to being a most desirable place in which to reside. Highland Avenue has a commercial importance. Its hat industry is very extensive, and the quality of the hats made ranks favorably with those manufactured elsewhere. An incline railway near here conveys passen- gers to the summit of the Orange Mountains, and a ride on it is an enjoyable experi- ence. MOUNTAIN STATION. Altitude, 156 ft. 13. oS miles from New York ; Single ticket, 35 cts.; Excursion ticket, s,', cts. There is a vast difference between this and its nearest neighbor. While High- laud Avenue is realy a very busy place. Mountain Station is the opposite. Essentially a town of homes it is picturesque in the extreme. Nature has been allowed to hold sway to a very large extent, and the feature that will impress the visitor most favorbly is the magnificent shade that makes the summer months congenial. To the north the valley reaches until it meets the mountains, and is dotted with pretty residen- ces. To the south the hill rises gradually from the railroad station, and residences with park-like grounds are to be seen in all drections, and extend along westward until they unice with SOUTH ORANGE. Altitude, 139 ft. 13.84 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 40 cts.; Excursion ticket, 60 cts. The Oranges terminate here after occupying five miles of territory. South Orange is an important place, because it is the terminus of a number of express and accommodation trains to and from New York. Like the other towns it is famous as a place of residence. Churches and schools are plenty, and good local government is a feature that recommends it. The drives about South Orange are romantic, and good roads are the rule. The " Field Club," an organization that needs no introduc- tion, is favorably known wherever outdoor sports are discussed and indulged in. The 26 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. club-house and beautifully laid out grounds, between Mountain Station and South Orange, are in plain view of passing trains, and here the wealth and beauty of the united Oranges meet in season to enjoy some of the best contests of the State. The club-house is equipped with all the appurtenances of a first-class club, to- gether with the necessary conveniences of one devoted so largely to field sports. The grounds, twelve acres in extent, include a quarter mile bicycle -track, three baseball diamonds, eight tennis courts, two football fields, croquet grounds, quoit courts, shooting traps, etc. From early summer till late in the fall, open tournaments are held in all out-door sports, in which the prominent amateur athletes of the country participate, and the bicycle and foot races, tennis and trap shooting contests, attract widespread attention. A most interesting feature connected with the Field Club is the opportunity it affords to all its members for indulging in out-door sports and games. "Business men's" contests in baseball, tennis, quoits, etc., take place during the season, and those only are allowed to compete who have never acquired nmch skill in such sports. The prominent athletes have their opportunity in the open tournaments. Further, the children of members have exceptional facilities for innocent and healthy amusement in the grounds, and are afforded every protection by the keepers in charge. The Field Club is essentially a family club, and is readily taken advantage of by all who are attracted to South Orange and its vicinity, and as a family summer resort it is very popular. In winter part of the grounds are flooded, and good skating is enjoyed. MAPLEWOOD. Altitude, 131 ft. 15-36 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 45 cts. ; Kxcursion ticket, 65 cts. A very prett}- place for persons who delight in beautiful scenery is Maplewood. Its location, at the base of the mountain, gives it a wild charm. As j-et the village has not developed to any great size, but it has several very pretty cottages situated on well-made streets, and there is plenty of shade. It has excellent water, fine drives, and pure mountain air. For a summer vacation spot it ranks among the most desirable. WYOMING. Altitude. i6oft. 16-39 iiiiles from New York ; Single ticket 50 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 70 cts. Wyoming is a delightful little town, situated right on the side of the mountain. At this point the " first mountain " turns directly northward. Here are many beautiful homes, with spacious grounds, in the midst of a high-wooded slope, where all is wild and picttiresque The scenery around Wyoming is charming, and never grow tiresome. There is not an objectionable feature in the town or neighborhood. It is essentially a home-spot, and persons who go there never regret it. MILBURN. Altitude, 148/1. 17.01 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 50 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 75 cts. This is an old-fashioned town with quaint houses, whose style of architecture suggests a half-century or more ago. It even possesses the conventional mill-pond, which adds to its antiquated appearance. Milburn has always been a popular place for summer boarders. It is surrounded by farms, and has good boarding-houses in town. An excellent supply of water is one of the essential features of the place, and DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 27 its well-cared-for roads are known all over the State. The terminus of the ^lilburn bicycle course is here, and in the season wheeling never ceases. SHORT HILLS. Altitude, 206 ft. 17.86 miles from Xew York ; Single ticket, 55 cts. ; l^xciirsion ticket, 80 cts. Short Hills can be especially recommended as a charming place of residence. vSituated in a large park, the residences, all of which are palatial, occupy plots, around which wind smooth macadamized roads. There are no fences round-about, and every house has a well-appointed stable attached. The aim of the individual who established Short Hills has been carried out well. It is for homes only, and not a single place of business is connected with it. A few years ago this delightful spot was but a wooded slope. Enough of the grand old forest trees have been preserved to afford a pleasing shade, that in summer almost hides the houses from view. HUNTLY. Altitude, 306 ft. 19.11 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 55 cts. ; E.vcursion ticket, 80 cts. A little station on the mountain, established to accommodate the few people who reside there. A fine view of the valley can 1)e had, and on a clear day New York Bay is visible. SUMMIT. Altitude, sS^ft. 20.14 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 55 cts. ; Kxciirsion ticket, 80 cts. There is no place on this line that can lay claim to more advantages than Sum- mit. As its name implies it is situated on the brow of the second mountain, and is reached after the hard climb of a grade that begins at Milburn. This village has developed solely on its own merits. Its growth has been strong and so far shows no signs of abating. Backing the development of Summit are men of wealth and thrift. The houses that are in course of erection are attractively laid out, and its macadamized streets, of which there are over fifty, are of the finest and most elaborate kind. Owing to its altitude Summit is a bracing spot in which to spend the summer. The air is always fresh and salubrious, and on that account persons afflicted with pulmonary troubles have made it their permanent home. In summer the population generally doubles. All the hotels and boarding-houses, of which there are many of the first-class, are well patronized, and the place in summer presents a lively appearance. Many of the permanent residents rent their homes for the season, and the demand often exceeds the supply. Looking northw^ard from Summit is a magnificent view of the Passaic Valley and Blue Ridge Mountain and towards the southeast, Brooklyn, New York Bay and Staten Island can be seen. The drives through the valleys and over the mountains are magnificent. Churches of the Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Catholic faiths abound. The social centre is the Casino Club, to which is attached a theatre, bowl- ieg alley, etc. The Club is composed of the prominent men of the place and is well patronized. The Fresh-Air Home, so well known, and with which many benevolent women of Summit are identified, is situated on Stony Hill, south of Summit. The town is lighted with gas, and has a new and excellent sewerage system ; it is also supplied by the Commonwealth Water Company with pure water drawn from springs in the mountain. At Summit the Passaic and Delaware Branch diverges toward the w-est and runs for 21 miles through a valley of unsurpassed beauty and loveliness. The first station is 28 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. WEST SUMMIT. Altitude, 340 ft. 21.83 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 65 cts.; Excursion ticket, 95 cts. A small settlement of qitiet homes. The surrounding country is given up to agricultural pursuits. MURRAY HILL. Altitude, 251ft. 23.40 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 70 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.00. The ridge that skirts the village on the east is from whence the place is named. vSeveral elegant homes of New Yorkers are situated here and the view is extensive and very fine. The country is fertile and studded with many prosperous farms. BERKELEY HEIGHTS. Altitude, 226 ft. 25.77 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 75 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.10. Until very recently this place was unimportant. A company having purchased a tract of land, has parcelled it out in building li)ts and laid out streets, and Berkeley Heights is soon destined to become a thriving spot. GILLETTE. Altitude, 213 ft. 27.15 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 85 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.15. A quiet settlement surrounded by hills and containing charming patches of scenery. It is a fine farming country and a healthful place for summer boarders. STIRLING. Altitude, 221ft. 28.51 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 90 cts.; Excursion ticket, |i.20.

Aside from this, agriculture is the principal pursuit. MILLINGTON. Altitude, 274 ft. 30.16 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 95 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.25. This is one of the most picturesque spots on the branch. The Passaic River here seen winds around big bluffs and through fertile meadows and gives a charm to the surroundings seldom met. Several persons have taken advantage of the picturesque- ness of the place to build handsome houses. The drives about Millington are inter- esting and the roads good. LYONS. Altitude, 305 ft. 31.74 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $i.co ; Excursion ticket, $1.30. Lyons and neighborhood is devoted to agriculture.

Altitude, 430ft. 34.75 miles from Xew York ; Single ticket, $i.io; Kxcursion ticket, $1.45. This attractive place, situated as it is in the midst of the Somerset County hills, is frequently alluded to as the "Alps" of New Jersey, aud the name is not misap- plied. Being beyond the first range of mountains (the Oranges) west of New York, the distinct change from the dampness of the ocean to dry mountain air is at once felt. The entire section abounds in wild scenery, changing frotii a very extensive outlook over and beyond fertile valleys to byways through gorges, alongside of mountain streams amidst luxuriant foliage. The mountain roads are hard and always smooth and lead in all directions through pretty villages and an extremely prosperous farming section. Since its first settlement by New Yorkers many years ago Bernards- ville has been the most popular of New Jersey resorts until now its population is represented largely by summer residents, whose beautiful and costly residences dot the hills and appear at every turn in the landscape. Near here is situated "Round Top," the beautiful home of Frederic P. Olcott of New York City, comprising one thousand acres of land, and the most extensive breeding farm in the East. It is worth a day's journey to visit this estate. Its miles of shaded drives are always open to the public. The Bernardsville-Mendham district has long been famous as a health resort to those suiTering from Rheumatism and complaints of a Malarial origin ; there is no marshy ground in this section of mountain aud valleys, and Mo.squitos are unknown. Situated in the hills between Bernardsville and Mendham is the "Somerset Inn," surrounded by eight cottages especially well built and finished for the accomo- dation of the guests of the hotel, it is the best equipped mountain hotel within 100 miles of New York. The Inn has recently been enlarged and refitted and affords accommodations that can be favorably compared with any other first class hotel in the country. Special fast train service brings Bernardsville within one hour of New York hy rail. The Inn accommodates 250 guests. MINE BROOK.

Altitude, 230ft. 42.19 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.40; Kxcursion ticket, $1.85. The general character of all the.se places is ."similar. The region, on account of the lack until recently, of railroad facilities is undeveloped, Peapack notwithstand- ing. The Rockaway Yalley Railroad touches here on its way between Whitehouse and Mendham, and these two lines are destined to build up this spot. Gladstone is 32 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. an old place with a new name, and is a town that has made great strides since it ob- tained railroad facilities. The region is well adapted to summer recreation, as the drives are good, and many interesting places are near by. Returning to the main line the next station beyond Summit is NEW PROVIDENCE. Altitude, 271ft. 21. 6g miles from New York ; Single ticket, 60 cts.; Excursion ticket, 95 cts. The village lies back about a half mile from the station.

Altitude, 231/1. 23.33 niiles from New York; Single ticket, 65 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.00. This ancient town has always been held in high esteem by many who return every year to spend the summer. It has much to recommend it. The Passaic River flows through it, and affords good fishing and boating ; the drives through the valley and over Long Hill are delightful. The Chatham Fish and Game Protection Asso- ciation, which has recently erected a handsome Club House here, looks after the fish and game in the vicinit3^ Stanley, situated south of Chatham on the Eastern slope of Long Hill, is a set- tlement of pretty homes, and, from its location, a grand and ever-changing panorama of the valley of the Passaic spreads out before the eyes. On account of the scenery from Long Hill, this locality has become popular. MADISON. Altitude, 243 ft. 25.55 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 70 cts.. Excursion ticket, $1.10. This enterprising town has for the past three years been prospering under a borough government. It has a Mayor and Town Council at the head of its affairs; it also possesses excellent water and electric light systems, and all the comforts of a large city are available. Building is very active and promises so to continue. Madi- son rejoices in four churches and the Webb Memorial Chapel, an imposing edifice, built and presented to the town by James A. Webb, Esq., a prominent and enter- prising citizen. This place has been known as a health resort for a longtime, and on that account, may well be recommended. It is noted for the number of its elegant residences, many of which are surrounded bj' large estates. Mr. H. McK. Twombley has laid out, at an enormous cost, over 200 acres as a park, and the work will result in one of the finest estates in New Jerse}-. The town itself is in a valley, and on both sides of the long sloping hills pretty homes are located. The view from these hills across the Passaic Valley is one of the features that captivates the seekers of suburban homes. Drew Theological Seminary, in the immediate vicinity is well known and is visited by persons from all parts. Good roads and picturesque drives make Madison a pleasant resort for city people during the summer months. CONVENT. Altitude, 379 ft. 27.62 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 75 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.15. The Convent of St. Elizabeth, a large educational institution conducted by Sis- ters, is located in plain view of the railroad, and from this the station derives its name. DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 33 Photo, by H. A, Henckel, N. Y. AWAITING TRAIN-, MORRISTOWN STATION. MORRISTOWN. Altitude, 326 ft. 29.70 miles from New York ; Single ticket, So cts.; t'xcursion ticket, $1.25. This old town, so prominently identified with the history of the Revolutionary War scarcely calls for any introduction. Its fame was estalalished when it was first chosen by Washington as the head- quarters of the Continental Army, and the associations of those stirring times of our nation's history are still cherished by the descendants of many of the gallant soldiers who took up arms and fought for their independence under the leadership of General Washington. Not the pages of history alone point to Washington's association with Morris- town, for his headquarters, situated on an eminence in the northern part of the city, have been preserved, and since they came into the possession of the State, more land which has been laid out in beautiful grassy lawns, and broad paths skirted by shade trees has been reserved about them. Cannon that have, from time to time, been used in defence of the nation, and which were individually presented, are mounted and frown threateningly around the quaint old building. The national emblem is spread to the breeze daily, not only to indicate the spot, but to show that the patriot- ism of our fathers is still ablaze in the breasts of their descendants. To quote from the address of Hon. Theodore F. Randolph, on opening of this building to the pub- lic, July 4, 1875 : " During the summer of 1873, this property, so long and widely known as the old headquarters of W^ashington, was offered for sale. A few gentle- men concluded to purchase it, and having done so, formed a society known as the Washington Society of New Jersey, the principal object of which is to perpetuate this house with its great historic associations, and to gather within these walls so large and interesting a museum of articles connected with the Revolutionary and other history of the Colonies, that this old mansion, rendered immortal by the name of Washington, shall become a Mecca towards which all Americans will turn their WASHINGTON'S H EADQrAKTERS, MOI S LAKE, N.

He may have enjoyed himself thoroughly and been fortunate with rod or gun, but the inducement of bagging a few ducks from the lake, where they congregate every fall, often proves an attraction too strong to be resisted. WATERLOO. Altitude, 716ft. 54.52 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.50 ; Excursion ticket, $2.25. Here, at the gateway of the rugged hills of Sussex County, begins the Sussex Railroad. The road is 26 miles long, and traverses a very picturesque country. It is wild, full of little lakes, ponds and silvery streams, that furnish excellent fishing. Photo, by H. C. Pyle, N. Y. ON THE SUSSEX BRANCH. On account of the mountainous character of the neighborhood, game of all sorts abounds. The partridge is frequently seen along the highways, and, during the fall — " Up from the stubble gets the quail, I hear the partridge drumming." Bears, too, are not strangers in Sussex, and scarcely a season goes by that some one does not have to recount the destruction of one or more of these furry creatures. The summer sojourner, of course, is not as eager to kill bears as to roam about at will and avoid them. There is no danger, however, of meeting bruin in the summer months, as it is only in winter that he ventures within the bounds of civilization to forage for his provisions, and when satisfied with a pig or two, he returns quietly to his lair. As there are innumerable farms and plenty of good hotels and boarding-houses, the region through which the Sussex Railroad runs is particularly inviting to summer vacationists. In fact, any person who appreciates a mountain summer, with pleasant surroundings, can make no mistake in giving any of the places mentioned a season's trial. On leaving Waterloo, the first station is DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 49 ANDOVER. Altittide, 635 ft. 60.66 miles from New York ; Single ticket, I1.75 ; Excursion ticket, $2.65.

It is noted for its neatness, healthfulness and grand scenery. From Ilill-top, five minutes walk from depot, a view surpassed by none in the State of New Jersey, over- looking the Blue Mountains for 55 miles, including Jennie Jump, Delaware Water Gap, Culver's Gap, High Point, as well as Sparta, Panther and Allamuchy Mountains. Among the 44 lakes that surround the village in a radius of eight miles are Lake Hopatcong, Swartswood, Panther, Cranberry, Auble, Stag, Turtle, Roseville, Bear, White, Slater, Gardner, Iliff, Goodale and Burkmire, all of which afford excellent bass and pickerel fishing, several of the above being near the village. The drives in all directions are exceedingly attractive. The lakes and mountains remind one of Switzerland. The Methodist church is a model, the Presbyterian very neat. Six daily trains to and from New York City. Morning papers, 8 a. m.; evening papers, 6 p. m. Mosquitoes almost unknown. Excellent board can be obtained at reasonable prices.

Si 90; Kxcursiou ticket, $2.95. Newton, the county seat of Sussex, is considered one of the prettiest, as well as most prosperous, towns in North Jersey. The altitude ranges from 580 to 800 feet above mean tide at New York. The population is about 3,500, and the locality one of the healthiest in the State. The town has two shoe factories, employing over 500 persons, besides other manufactories. Its streets are lighted by arc electric lights, and water has been introduced into the town. Gas is also at command for lighting and heating. The principal streets are macadamized, and the sidewalks are flag and granolithic. As the nights are invariably cool, the daily range of 15° to 25° brings refreshing sleep, and mosqtiitoes are rarely seen. It has two newspapers, which are known far and wide as compendiums of local news. With prompt and convenient train service, there is no more desirable place in the Jersey Highlands. Business men traveling between town and city are favored by trips in the cool of the day, the average running time being two hours, and on some trains without change of cars. New York morning newspapers reach the town at 8.30 A. M. The drives in the neighborhood are noted for their beauty, and the proximity to Swartswood, Culvers, Hopatcong, and other lakes, render a summer residence a matter of comfort as well as pleasure. There is a Sunday train to and from New York. LAFAYETTE. Altitude, 654 ft. 70.20 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.05 ; Excursion ticket, $3.25. AUGUSTA.

Altitude, 564 ft. 60.10 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.65 ; Excursion ticket, $2.45. This is one of the oldest towns in New Jersey. It is situated in the midst of pleasant surroundings, and is an enterprising village of pretty homes and well shaded .streets. It has a Mayor and Council and its municipal government is good. The Hackettstown Collegiate Institute, known throughout the country as a prominent seat of learning, is situated here. During the summer sea.son the town is very active on account of the influx of the city people who come to obtain recreation and whole- some air. Schooley's Mountain. Like an immense forest, lying some distance back from the town, is Schooley's Mountain, a resort almost too well known to require detailed description. The moiintaiu when viewed from a distance, resembles a long plateau, so even is its sum- mit, and it is covered with a rich growth of forest trees. Nature has been so un- usually kind to this romantic spot that many wealthy gentlemen have selected it as their summer home. Among these are Alfred Sully, Esq., the well-known railroad magnate, and Mr. E. D. Stokes. The Sully abode is palatial in its appointments, and the grounds are laid out in bright flower beds, arbors and shrubbery.

This is the most important city in Warren County and is noted for the number of its manufactories, principal among which are the piano and organ industries. The town is located at the base of Pohatcong Mountain and the valley is one of wonderful beauty and fertility. The city is noted for its fine hotels and summer boarding houses and for that reason is well patronized by out-of-town folks. BROADWAY.

Altitude, 21S ft. 83.63 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 52.05 ; Excursion ticket, $3.25. This city, one of the largest in the State and an important railroad centre, is the last in New Jersey on the line of this road. It is situated on the Delaware River. In mentioning Phillipsburg it is sufficient to indorse it as a city where can be had all conveniences other places of its size afford. The manufacturing industries are im- portant and represent vast wealth. But Phillipsburg is most important as a railroad centre. EASTON, PA. Altitude, 218 ft. 84.24 miles from New York : Single ticket, $2 lo ; Excursion ticket, $3.30. Easton is situated just across the Delaware River from Phillipsburg, and is con- nected with it by a long bridge. This city, being one of the largest in Pennsylvania, needs no description here ; in limited space justice could not be accorded it. This is the seat of Lafayette College. Returning again to the main line, which continues westward from Washington, the first station beyond is OXFORD FURNACE. Altitude, 436 ft. 74.39 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.05 ; Special ticket, $1.85 ; Excursion ticket, $3.05. If this little town were referred to as a small edition of Sheffield, it should not be considered as inappropriate. The iron industry is all that is recognized here. The Oxford Steel and Iron Company controls the immense plant that turns out nails famous the country over. Nearly all the inhabitants depend on this industry for a living. The town was founded by a Scranton family, and its great success is prin- cipally due to their energy. Blairstown, the home of the Hon. John I. Blair, one of New Jersey's iron kings, is within a few miles of here, and is well worth a visit. DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R, R. r^'S BRIDGEVILLE. Altiticdc, 486 ft. 78.39 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.15 ; Special ticket, I1.95 ; Excursion ticket, $3.20. Just across the little Pequest River, connected by a three-arch stone viaduct bridge, is this quiet town. The attraction here is fishing, and the waters that furnish it are the Pequest River, Beaver Brook, and several small ponds. Among the natural attractions is Jenny Jump Mountain, close by. The region hereabouts is one of de- lightful simplicity, and profitable farming is largely conducted. MANTN'KA lHUNK, J — Jl'NCTION OI' lUa.VIDERE DIVISION PENNSYLVANIA R.

At this point the road connects with the Belvidere Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad for Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and all points south and south- west. The place is small, and agricultural pursuits are the principal industry. DELAWARE. Altitude, 290 ft. S2.64 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.25 ; Special ticket, $2.05 ; Excursion ticket, $3.40. Delaware is located among the hills of northern New Jersey, and on the banks of the Delaware River. The surrounding country is hilly, almost mountainous. Mumercus roads lead to places of varied interest, affording delightful drives. Several jncturesque and romantic spots in the vicinity invite the rambler, while the river is a source of entertainment for the boatman and fisherman. The Gap, and other attractions within easy reach, are the object of frequent picnics and excursions 54 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. during the season. In summer the population generally doubles. A number of good boarding-houses are located in the vicinity, and Delaware is quite a popular summer resort. PORTLAND, PA. Altitude, 292 ft.

The river view affprded from trains at this point is very fine. Portland has several commercial industries and is an important town in this region. DELAWARE WATER GAP. Altitude, 3<)o ft. 90.64 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.55 ; Special ticket, J2.35 ; Kxcvirsion ticket, I3.70. Of all the resorts along the 'line of the Lackawanna, none is more strikingly beautiful than this great handiwork of Nature. Its praises have been sung for gene- rations, and one never wearies of them. From the time that the Redskin ruled the domain the popularity of this grand chasm through the mountains has been estab- lished, and each year the demand for hotel accommodations continues to increase. There is a peculiar rugged picturesqueness aboitt the scenery that attracts the atten- tion of the observer, and holds it until it is so firmly imprinted on the mind as never to be forgotten. Residents love to tarry by the clear water of the grand old Delaware, and enjoy the pleasures of lioating and fishing, and the transient visitor is willing to journey any distance, if it is only to spend a day here. Many excursions are run to Water Gap from different points during the summer months, and so popular have these become that they are booked for months in advance at the Company's passen- ger department oflfice. A critical review of this region, and the Delaware River, cannot fail to be of interest to the readers. The Delaware River rises 200 miles northward, in two lateral branches flowing from the western slope of the Catskill Mountains, 2,000 feet above the sea level. The western branch passes through a lake near its source, retaining, strange to say, its quaint aboriginal name " Utsayantha." This is described as a circular sheet of transparent water covering an area of 70 acres and having an elevation of 1,888 feet ; a mirror of beauty in the wooded wilderness, so secluded that few, save the red men, have ever gazed upon its serene solitude. In its course, the river hugs the base of the grand old mountains, older in date of upheaval than the snow-clad " Alps," which once formed a barrier to its passage, and rolled back the flood of waters, submerging for a long time the lesser hills and swelling plains that now, clad in verdure, adorn its borders. The character of the rocks in this portion of the Blue Ridge is that of gray and red sandstone and conglomerates, containing white quartz pebbles of large size. The escarpment at the point of dislodgnient is more bold on the New Jersey portion of the mountain, the means of the angle for the entire elevation of 1,600 feet being about 70 degrees, while projecting cliffs, as seen from the gorge, exhibit sections of perpendicular descent. On the Pennsylvania mountain the general slope from the summit to the river is less precipitous ; a mass of talus having been detached from the crest by the frost of winter, and pouring like lava down its sides, has covered the surface to the depth of many feet, concealing the rugged projections that charac- terize the face of the opposite mountain. From both the sunmiits— Mount Tammany in New Jersey and Mount Miusi in DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 55 Pennsylvania — views of great extent and beauty are obtained, but it is difficult to do them justice by mere description ; they must be seen to be fully appreciated. One overlooks, to the south, a scene of vast breadth, comprising nioimtains and hills. villages and farmhouses, cultivated fields, groves of woodland and pi iinitive forests — the river on its sinuous journey filling up the picture. It was upon the summit of Minsi, that, over a quarter of a century ago, a romantic young ladv lost her way, and was exposed for a greater part of a night on the ledge of a clitT, to which she had 56 DELA.WA3B?, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. fallen, and from which she was rescued with much difficulty. On the way to Mount Minsi to the settled portion of the Gap, a fane view is obtained from Prospect Rock. — This bare platform, though much below the summit, enables he visitor to enjoy one of the finest pieces of scenery on the Delaware. The view up the river extends beyond the islands to the distant hills and mountains, through which the river winds its tortuous course and glides smoothly along the base of the precipice from which you are gazing. Near Prospect Rock is DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 57 The Hunter's Spring. — A wild secluded spot •where man)' Lenape huntsmen as well as those of modern time, have been refreshed, and have lain in wait for the deer as they came panting for the cooling waters. It is at the head of a wild ravine and the source of Eureka Creek, which tumbles over the rocky bed in its rapid descent to the river, and in which are found Moss Cataract and Rebecca's Bath. Near by is 58 DELAWARE. LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. UELAWARK WAThK t.Al', KKOM IlIK SOUTH. The Lover's Leap. — This is the artist's favorite spot and is made memorable as the scene where the Indian Princess " Winona " and her lover took their fatal step. Caldeno Creek. — This is a noted spot. It has its rise high up the side of Mount Minsi. Dashing and foaming in its descent, it flows at length into the valley, and after gladdening the inmates of several farm houses, changes its course and runs close by the ruins of an old saw mill, which at ofle time it made busy as the machin- ery was put in motion b)' the splashing of the water over a big wheel. From the old mill the stream flows across a green meadow and loses itself in an entanglement of forest, from which it again emerges at Moss Cataract, dashes over its mo.ssy bed, fills Diana's bath afresh, gives a leap over the falls of its own name and hastens on to lose its identity in the broad waters of the Delaware. Table Rock and Cooper's Cliff. — Both are situated on an extended rocky platform of about 300 feet in elevation, overlooking the river and the cultivated hills in the distance. The confused mixture of forest and hills, and the cultivated land below the cliff on which one stands, form a beautiful foreground to the finely devel- oped proportions of the gorge in the distance. Sunset Hill rises only a few rods to the northeast of the apparently undisturbed stratification of Table Rock, and is a confused, disjointed, irregular mass of rock from base to apex. We have given a tolerably fair idea of the general character of the scenery and views of Water Gap, but its attractions, if they begin, certainly do not end there. There are numerous walks besides those we have named, and drives which we have not mentioned at all — long drives to the beautiful falls of Winona and Bushkill, and short drives to romantic places with commonplace names : Fox Hill, the Knob, Lake of the Mountain and a dozen others. Stroud-sburg is but four miles distant. DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 59 The air about here is pure and appetizing, and while the days are not hot nor humid, the nights are so delightfully cool that sleep of the kind that rests and invig- orates is assured. The Water Gap is famous for its fine hotels. The drinking water, from Caldeno Creek, is very pure. STROUDSBURG AND EAST STROUDSBURG, PA. Altitude, 400 ft. 94.89 miles from New York ; Single lickt t, $2.70 ; Special ticket, I2.50 ; Excursion ticket, $3.85. These two towns are delightfully sittiated on Brodhead's Creek, the former being the cottiity seat of Monroe. They have a combined population of 5,000 inhabitants, and, are noted for their beauty and the magnifi- cent scenery surrounding them. For more than half a century people have been attracted to this section on account of its wild grandeur, its remarkable healthfulness, and its clearness and dryness of air. The State Normal School of the fourth Pennsylvania is located at East Stroudsburg ; it is thoroughly equipped and is one of the noted educational institutions of the state. George P. Bible, A. M., is principal. The fol- lowing are among the widely known places of interest near these two towns : Delaware Water Gap, Highland Dell, The Sanitarium, Silver Lake, Buttermilk Falls, Sambo Falls. Bradley's Falls, Hosier's Knob, Marshall's Falls, Lake of the Mountain, Winona Falls, Lake Poponoming, Bushkill Falls, Dingman's Falls and I'orest Park. STRULDSlilKl, ST.-VTION. FOREST PARK. BUSHKILL, I'IKK COUNTY, IMCNNSYLVA NI A. 15 miles from Stroudsburg. It comprises about sixteen thousand acres of land, diversified by mountain and valley, lakes and streams. Its mountain streamy fed by bubbling springs, are the lurking places of countless trout, and the lakes are the abiding places of the gamy black bass and the sun-loving perch. In the forest, much of which is in primeval state, deer and bear, partridge and pheasant, grouse, quail, woodcock, foxes, rabbits and squirrel abound. 60 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. SPRAGUEVILLE. Altitude, 524 ft. 99.14 miles from New York : Single ticket, $2.85 ; Special ticket, $2.65 ; Excursion ticket, $4.05. Spragueville is an attractive village surrounded by many hills, which give it a picturesque appearance. It is the summer home of several wealthy persons whose residences are costly and beautiful. Like its larger neighbor, Stroudsburg, it is located on Brodhead's Creek, which at this point is decidedly pretty, and is famous for the fine trout fishing it affords. The Analoniink streams, both celebrated for their trout, are near the village. The drives are magnificent for miles around and pleasure afforded by them coupled with riding and walking keep tourists busy enjoy- ing themselves. HENRYVILLE. Altitude, 784 ft. MONROE C O., P A. 102.64 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.95 ; Special ticket, $2.75 ; Excursion ticket, $4.20. If you were anxious to spend all day Saturday catching fine brook trout — beauties that run up to a pound and three-quarters — you could not do better than take the short trip on the D. L. & W. necessarj- to reach Henry ville, a little town prettily situated on a mountain side. At the station you will find a spanking team of farm horses and a good springy buckboard ready to take all comers over the mountain to Parkside. Here you are surrounded by some of the most prolific brook trout streams in America — East and West Branch, Brodhead, Cranberry, Heller, Paradise and Devil's Hole — all famous. Parkside, on the banks of the Analomink, is a beautiful little rural retreat, not more than three hours' ride from New York. The Park House is situated in the centre of beautifully laid out grounds, with the river at one side and the mountains on the other. The altitude of the place gives it perfect free- dom from mosquitoes and malaria, and in summer the temperature is delightfully cool. The ride over the hills from the station will furnish an appetite alone worth the trip. And the food ! I'ood that is sweer and fresh, food that is free of a city smell, food that has a natural ring to it — butter, cream, eggs, milk, vegetables, and all sorts of things, right from the farm. Lounge about the farm Friday evening, smoke your pipes or cigars and listen to the yarns about the big fish you will have to battle with in the morning. When you retire for the night sleep will not be difficult to woo, and you can peacefully close your eyes with the cheering knowledge that a refreshing breakfast will be ready when you open them again. After that go forth to flail the wooded streams, and your basket will be heavy with fine-sized fish on your return. Sunday resting about the farm, eating delicious fruit, and breathing the invigorating mountain air until night falls again, will fill the day with restful memories. The early morning train may be taken on Monday, and — the city reached all too soon. The points of interest within easy riding or driving distance are the Water Gap, Red Rock Glen, Prospect Ledge, Silver Cascade, Pocono Summit, Point Lookout and one or two others of less fame. CRESCO. Altitude, 1,203 ft. 10S.14 miles from New York ; Single ticket, J3.15 ; Special ticket, J2 95 ; Excursion ticket, I4.45. Cresco is situated in the highlands of Monroe County close to the Delaware River. It can be safely said that the forests and streams about here give more pleas- ure than the average sportsman can find time to enjoy. A region of woodland and water, it attracts them every season, and has attained for itself a well deserved repu- tation. DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 61 WISCASsET I'OOL, MOUNT »•U^.O^■U. MOUNT POCONO. Altitude, 1,824 ft. 114.14 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $3.35 ; Special ticket, $3.15 ; Excursion ticket, $4.65. The Pocono Mountains cross the northeastern counties of Pennsylvania and are spurs of the same great chain that crosses the Atlantic section from the Catskills in New York to the Black Mountains in North Carolina. The extensive panoramic view that spreads before one's gaze emphasizes the fact that Mount Pocono is very nearly the highest point of the mountains. In the fore- grotind, the few clearings give a touch of cultivation ; further down is the wood-covered valley, and beyond, the pine-clad hills roll back, dotted here and there by a farm TRINITY CHURCH, MOINT POCONO. 1"A.

A little to the right, Pocono Knob raises its rock-bound summit two thousand, six hundred feet above the level of the sea. On the left, through the famous Delaware Water Gap are seen the hills and mountains of New Jersey. Over all the moving cloud shades cast their ever changing tinge of light and shade. The atmosphere is wonderfully dry, pure and pine-laden, far more so than at an equal altitude along the main Alleghaney Range. The many persons to whom mountain breezes are as a sparkling cordial, will find here on the spurs of the Pocono, all that need requires or fancy seeks. The thermometer registers on an average from ten to fifteen degrees lower than in the cities of New York and Philadelphia. The nights are cool and the air soft and balmy. There are no mosquitoes. The climate here is almost a specific for malarial diseases and can be equally recommended to those suffering from debility due to over- work, over-worrj' or other causes. The altitude is not so great as to increase nervous conditions as is the case in higher altitudes. Here all throat and chest troubles are benefitted and weak lungs are made strong. To hay-fever and asthmatic subjects this locality is a blessing. In a word, this Poco- no region is second to no eastern locality for all of the requirements of a typical health resort. As a proof of the dryness of the atmosphere, it is stated that as a rule, the grass will be entirely free from dew on summer nights as late as eleven o'clock. The success of the Mount Pocono region as a health resort is fully assured and there are now ample hotel and cottage accommoda- tions within a few miles of the station. Some of the hotels have every modern convenience, steam-heat, enabling one to enjoy cool weather, the laurels and rhod )den- drons of June as well as the changing foliage of the invigorating autumn days without the discomfort of an improperly heated house ; rooms en suite with private bath, ample par- lors, billiard rooms, porches, and all other modern conveniences. THE WISCASSET. DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA .S: WESTERN K. R. 6.3 There are uiniierous walks and drives, the roads beinj^ exceptionally good for a mountain district. The Indian Run drive on the grounds of "The Wiscasset " is especially romantic. The various streams in the neighborhood are easily accessible and give good S])ort with the rod. There is also good hunting in the autumn. The popular games, notably golf, tennis and croquet are amply provided for. The rhododendron and laurel should be mentioned as an especial attraction in the spring and early summer. I/ate in June the rhododendron is in its glory and the thousands of bushes covered with delicate blossoms^ each as it breaks open its pink shaded treasure of bloom forming a perfect boquet in exquisite contrast to the wealth of dark green behind, makes a dainty picture, worthy the brush of the most ambitious painter. The water in this region is of the pure.st quality. Minerals being scarce, it naturally carries a mininmm (juantity of these substances and there is no region that can boast of purer water than the Pocono Mountain region. Some of the hotels are supplying their guests from springs situated at a distance, beyond the possibility of contamination, bringing the water in rustless, tasteless pipes to properly located cement reservoirs, from which in turn it is piped to the hotel as pure, sweet and sparkling as when it rushed forth at the spring.

This paradise of the sportsmen does not differ in character from Mount Pocono. The doors of the few hotels are open to welcome the season's guests, and every facility for comfort and enjoyment is offered. The engineers of western-bound trains are always glad when they reach the summit that they may take matters a little easier in the descent that follows. TOBYHANNA.

A quiet colony that has become known as an excellent place to spend a vacation. It is healthful, and the scenery in the neighborhood is very attractive. Elmhurst, nine miles from Scranton towards New York, has in the last few year, come into deserved prominence as a place of resort. It is noted for its pure water.'^, pure air and beautiful scenery. Hotel Elmhurst is replete with every modern improvement, including gas and electric bells in every room, and is supplied with pure spring water, with thorough plumbing and drainage. The broad porches command an extended view of moun- tain, lake and woodland. The hotel grounds comprise four acres and contain croquet and lawn tennis courts, and are made doubly attractive by the flowers and shrubberv and well-kept and verdant lawns. Elmhurst is brought into close communication with Scranton by the Nay Aug Falls and Elmhurst boulevard, just completed, which provides a magnificent driveway second to none in the country. From the heart of the cit}' the road emerges into beautiful Nay Aug Park and after spanning Nay Aug gorge with a steel bridge 350 feet long and 125 feet above the water, winds around the mountain peaks in grace- ful curves and with easy grades, disclosing at everj'^ turn grand and far-reaching mountain views, which makes this beautiful drive withouta peer for scenic eff"ect.

Its coal and iron industries have placed it in the foremost rank of manufacturing cities. Millions of people annu- ally pay tribute to the output of coal from the vScranton region; and the steel rails that thread this continent from ocean to ocean, and from the Canadian border to the Gulf, are to a very large exteat produced in the rolling mills within plain view of the Lackawanna trains that speed by. 66 DELAWARE.

The city is supplied with good water, and claims to be one of the best lighted places in the country. The hotels are good and well maintained. There are churches of all denominations, literary societies, social and athletic clubs, and excellent street- car facilities. Several railways connect here, making it an important railroad centre as well as manufacturing town. Not the least interesting feature of the city is a DINI.VG ST..\TIO>f, SCRANTON, PA., W.M.

A visit to the subterranean coal galleries in tlie mines will prove an entertaining experience and one worth the trouble. Despite the immense amount of manufacturing done here, the city, unlike many others, is not permeated with smoke and gases, as might be expected. On the con- trary the air is pure, and the city is a very pleasant place to visit or remain in at any season of the year. In fact, Scrantou contains as many magnificent residences and public buildings as any city of its size in the United States, and this bears the best testimony to its healthfulness that can be given. Among the resorts within a short distance is Carbondale, with its great switch- back and gravity road to Honesdale. Numerous lakes in the surrounding mountains afford good fishing, black bass and pickerel being plentiful. 68 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. DEL.WVAUi:. LACKAWANNA \ W'ESTEHN H.

Situated on the shore of Lake Ontario, which appears like a mighty ocean, Oswego is the city of "Silver Gloss Starch," and as such it is known on account of the immense quan- tity of this commodity that it manufactures annually. The Oswego River divides the BURTE POINT, OSWEGO, N. Y. city and affords elegant residence sites on both shores. The lake front is also a pop- ular place for j)rivate dwellings. Considering that the canal, lake and several lines of railroad furnish shipping facilities, it is not to be wondered at that Oswego is a prosperous and growing city. It has fine commercial institutions, banks, public buildings, and almost unlimited manufacturing industries. As a place of residence it has the appearance of an elegant and refined suburb, and the breezes from the lake render it delightfully cool and invigorating. In summer, the temperature, at the hottest, rarely exceeds 70°. The celebrated Deep Rock vSpring is situated here, and, for the accommodation of tottrists and invalids, a fine hotel has been erected near it. As far back as 1732 the Assembly at Albany appropriated moneys and appointed agents and interpreters to look after the sustaining of the trading post called Oswego. The French and English had severe engagements for its possession, as many as twenty thousand troops being massed here at one time. Some gallant attacks on the forts occurred, and many lives were sacrificed. In 1814 the British appeared off DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 93 Oswego, and, landing a land force, captured the city after a desperate struggle, tak- ing some of its prominent citizens prisoners of war, the last of whom have but recently been laid to rest. Fort Ontario, now garrisoned by a company of the 9th Infantry, stands in a commanding position on a high bank on the east side of the river. The view of Lake Ontario from the ramparts is expansive and beautiful. The Life Saving Station nestles at the foot of the fort bank. An English lady writing to friends in the British Empire in 1848, thus describes the climate at Oswego : " When winter had once set in Oswego became a perfect Siberia. At length spring returned with its flowers, and converted our Siberia into an uncultivated Eden, rich in all the ma- jestic charms of sublime scenery and primeval beauty and fertility. If ever the fond illusions of poets and philosophers, that Atlantis, that new Arcadia, that safe and serene Utopia, where ideal quiet and happiness have so often charmed theory, if ever this dream of social bliss, in some new planted region is to be realized, this nnrivaled scene of grandeur and fertility bids fairest to be the- place of its abode. Here the climate is serene and equal, the vigorous winters that brace the frame and call forth the power of mind and bod}- to prepare for its approach are succeeded by a spring so rapid, the exuberance of vernal bloom bursts forth so suddenly after disappearance of those deep snows which cherish and fructify the earth, that the change seems like a magical delusion. " The plant of the vStandard Oil Co. 's Shook factory, the Diamond Match Factory, the Oswego Starch Factory, and the Oswego Shade Cloth Company are among the largest institutions of their kind in the world. Malt, boilers and engines are manu- factured in large quantities, and shipped to all parts of the globe. Millions of feet of Canadian lumber are received during the season of navigation. A new electric road has been constructed from the heart of the city to a beautiful summer retreat, three miles west, running on the lake side of the boulevard ; the view, as the summit of the boulevard hill is reached, and the descent begins, baffles description. ^ Cbe ^nm\^ l^mm.

It has churches of all denominations, many schools, and several bright newspapers. Owego was once the home of N. P. Willis, the poet, who for a quarter of a ceuturj', drew in from the romantic hills and valleys surrounding the town, much of the inspiration which made his verses famous the world over. One mile from station is situated the well-known old private retreat for the insane and nervous, Glenmary, where so many of the afflicted have been restored to health and usefulness. t^ £be £[avuga [)K)i$ton. ^ At Owego this division begins and runs northward to Ithaca, thirt3^-four miles.

In all probability nature bas been more lavish with her gifts in the vicinity of Ithaca than in any other one place in the Empire State. A great lake, a magnificent region where health and happiness abide, and where the eyes of mankind can feast imtil the soul is content and the mind is benumbed with bewilderment. Ithaca has been called the •" region of cascades," and the name is certainly appropriate to the surroundings. It would seem as though the hand of nature has busied itself to an unusual extent in carving out of the rocks the irregular crevices through which the silvery streams of crystal water plunge and turn until they reach their natural level. In addition may be found a great many ravines which have a peculiar interest attached to them. The delightful works of nature seem to partake of a form of phenomena, and are all the more interesting on that account. There are 96 falls b}- actual count which vary in height from 5 to 340 feet. One mile from the village is Ithaca Falls, 160 feet high, or 7 feet less than Niagara. The width of the fall is 150 feet. Nine miles from Ithaca are the world-famed Taughannock Falls, that glory in being 48 feet higher than Niagara. All the falls are not directly within the town boundry, bnt there are fifteen close by, the height of each of which is over 100 feet. It is generally conceded that Cascadilla and Fall Creeks furnish the most enchanting of all the waterfall scenery. Taughannock Falls is the highest in the State, being 215 feet, while the rock rises 145 feet above it. The falls and surrounding scenery are almost unapproached for magnificence. Ithaca is situated at the head of Cayuga Lake, and has a population of 12,000. It is principally famous as the seat of Cornell University, founded by Ezra Cornell, whose idea is best expressed by his own words : " I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study." The University has turned out many a learned scholar, and is too well known to reqtiire a detailed description. Cayuga Lake is one of the finest inland lakes that makes Central New York so famous as a summer resort. It is forty miles long and lies between high hills that stretch along its entire length, and far beyond to the south. It is, also, one of the most magnificent lakes in this country, clear and of great depth, and surrounded w'ith the most entrancing scenery. Lake fishing, which is always a delightful pas- time, is here enjoyed every season by many enthusiastic fishermen who invariablv catch sufficient lake trout, bass, etc., to convince them that old Cayuga Lake is the veritable INIecca of anglers. 96 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R.

The First Baptist Church is also new, and of modern architecture. The New York State Reformatory, situated on a broad plateau at the foot of the western hills, is of much interest as illustrative of real reformation among the younger class of criminals. In itself, both in architecture and location, it is a striking build- ing, and well repays one for a few hours' visit. ELDRIDGK I'AKK, i;i,.MIKA, N. V. Of parks there are four. The most important is " Eldridge Park," in the northern portion of the city. This contains about do acres, has a natural lake of crystal w^ater, half a mile in circumference, and many miles of fine drives and walks. It also has pavilions, summer houses, a bear pit, and all the requisites of first-class pleasure grounds, which it is, not only for the people of Elmira, but also for those of many cities in the surrounding country. During the season of 1895 over 100,000 excursionists visited the various parks of Elmira. Elmira Heights, a suberb of Elmira, is a bustling industrial town of 5,000 inhab- itants engaged in the manufacture of window glass, bridges, bicycles, cotton goods and a dozen other things. All street car lines give transfers to Elmira Heights. Here are about 20 miles of electric car roads running to and fro from all parts, as well as to the thriving village of Ilorseheads, six miles north. In the northwestern part of the city is the Elmira College for Women. This educational institution is among the first in the land.

Bath is one of the loveliest cities of the plain in all New York. It has a popula- tion of 5,000 people, and as the country seat of Steuben, one of the largest counties in the State, it attracts hundreds of strangers every day, either on business or pleasure. The vState Soldiers' Home at Bath is a model institution of which not only the State but the nation is justly proud. Here 1,500 old heroes are well cared for. The build- ings and grounds are splendidly arrranged for the purpose and are beautiful in design and proportion. The Soldiers' Home band, the dress parade, and the veterans them- selves are attractions that draw thousands of people to Bath. No better fishing can be found in the State than in the surrounding little lakes and cold water streams. It is the center of a sportsman's paradise. At Bath all trains stop at the model dining rooms for lunch, and all passengers to Hammonds- port and Lake Keuka make connection here with the B. & H. Railroad at Union Station. Reports from the Fish Commissioners of the States of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey for 1894 and i895show that all streams bordering on the Lackawanna have been heavily stocked with all kinds of game and edible fish. No railroad in the world has so many trout streams along its course as the Lackawanna. DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. 101 NKW YORK STATK SOLDIERS' HOME' HATH, N Y. KANONA.
