APPOINTMENT BY THE ROYAL BRITISH COMMISSION, AND CONCESSIONS OP THE GENERAL COMMISSION OP THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. Thomas Cook & Son, more than a year ago, received from the Executive of the British Commission of the Philadelphia Exhibition of 1876 a voluntary communication, of which the following are the prin- cipal paragraphs :— THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1876, PHILADELPHIA. Offices of the British Executive, 5, Craig's Court, Charing Cross, iS. W. Gentlemen, — London, 4th. March, 1875. His Grace the Duke of Richmond, K.G., Lord President of the Council, bearing in mind the able manner in which you conducted the transit arrange- ments to and from Vienna, both to the satisfaction of the Royal Commission of which his Grace was a member, and to the advantage of the British Exhibitors and visitors to Vienna, has instructed me to offer you the appointment of General Passenger Agents for the British Section of the International Exhibition at Philadelphia in 1876. His Grace, aware how well the arrangements you effected at Vienna worked for the interests of all concerned, desires that similar, and, if possible, greater, facilities may be afforded in Philadelphia, viz. : — That your special representa- tive on this, as on the occasion alluded to, should be under the immediate orders of the British Executive, and that upon any complaint made to it or its repre- sentative at Philadelphia against any member of your staff, and the same being found justified by the facts, your Superintendent shall be bound to follow the instructions and obey the orders of the British Executive. In naming you "General Passenger Agents for the British Section," His Grace wishes you to understand, and to convey distinctly to all concerned, that the British Executive does not in any way hold itself responsible for delay, loss of luggage, or for any other similar claim. Following the Vienna precedent, it is also to be distinctly understood that suitable offices are to be provided at Philadelphia, to which will be attached a sufficient staff conversant with the usages of the country, and competent to give reliable information to British visitors of all classes. These arrangements to last during the whole period of the Exhibition. I shall be glad to receive your reply to this letter with as little delay as possible. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, P. CUNLIFFE OWEN, To Messrs. Thomas Cook & Son, Executive Commissioner. Ludgate Circus, Fleet Street, London. Gratefully appreciating the honour of this appointment, Thos. Cook & Son have done their utmost to promote the interests and convenience of British exhibitors, and to facilitate the laudable efforts of the Royal British Commission in reference to the transport of articles for exhibi- tion and the steamboat passages of exhibitors and their workpeople. It has been their pleasure, under the recognition of the Lord President of the Council, to cooperate heartily — first, with P. Cunliffe Owen, Esq., the late Executive Commissioner, and subsequently with Mr. Owen's successor, Colonel Sandford, to both of whom their obligations are due for the aid afforded in obtaining the important concessions which have been granted to them by the General Commission of the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. In September last Mr. Thomas Cook visited Philadelphia for the purpose of completing long-contemplated arrangements for the mutual accommodation of visitors to the Exhibition from all parts of Europe, and of those Americans who will be sure to avail themselves of unusual facilities for visiting Great Britain, the continent of Europe, the East, and other countries remote from the United States. Applications were first made by Mr. Cook and Mr. Jenkins to the general managers and passenger and ticket agents of the various rail- roads which command the traffic of Philadelphia ; and on the faith of their friendly assurances of co-operation, application was made to the chiefs, and the active Executive of the Exhibition Commission, for the grant of a site suitable for the erection of a large hall, to be used as a "World's Ticket and Inquiry Office, and for the exhibition and sale of articles manufactured in Palestine ; and proposals were also made for permission to pitch tents, with camp equipments, illustrative of Palestine travel. These points have all been ceded : a most convenient site was allotted to us on the Exhibition grounds; an immense building is now nearly completed; permission has been granted to sell olive-wood, and other articles manufactured at Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and the guide books descriptive of our tours, all, of course, subject to the pay- ment of customs duties, according to tariff ; and in this World's Ticket Office will be collected and offered for sale many thousands of travelling tickets and coupons. This will be an exhibition perfectly unique in its character, and offering facilities of travel in almost every part of the habitable globe. The European department will be under the superintendence of Mr. Thomas Cook, whilst Mr. Jenkins, our American partner, will take charge of the home department, which has been planned and inaugurated by himself. This being our position in America, the aim of this little pamphlet is to show how best to " cross the ferry," either to or fro ; how to live and how to travel on the other side, and how Americans coming to Philadelphia from the most extreme parts of the Union may avail themselves of trips to and through Europe. By the aid of our agents, from various parts and speaking various languages, we shall be able to direct those of strange tongues ; and by personal management of parties of strangers we hope to render good service to those who may lack con- fidence in their own power of dealing with those with whom they must necessarily come in contact, or may be deficient in information of the best places and the best things to be seen in America. MAP OP ATLANTIC BOUTES. Before proceeding to the details of Steamboat Arrangements of the various Companies, in whose behalf we are authorised to offer passage tickets to and from America, we invite attention to the new and beautiful map introduced into this pamphlet. In our several voyages across the Atlantic we have felt the want of a clear and well-defined route map, which would enable us from day to day to compare notes with the captain's figures of the mid-day observation, and by which the uninitiated might see at a glance their whereabouts. This map has been executed by the famous map engravers, W. & A. K. Johnston, Edinburgh, with special instructions to show every degree of latitude and longitude by a single line; and the numerical divisions not to exceed five degrees. We also show, on the different parallels of latitude, the number of miles to a degree, this being a point on which many are confused. This is shown in a column on the right- hand side of the map. The distances by various routes are inserted, and the telegraph cables, as well as the various steamboat lines, are •clearly shown. The observant will be interested by the indications of the gulf streams shown by white lines. The Saragosa, or Grassy Sea of 260,000 square miles, is plainly indicated, and the celebrated Newfound- land Banks cannot be passed over without observation. The chief places on the coast and interior of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and New England, are more fully noted than in most small maps ; and from Philadelphia, the Chesapeake Bay, and various familiar names of places " down South " are clearly noted. The southern route of steamers, from Gibraltar to New York, by the Azores, is shown by a distinct red line, which looks remarkably direct from the Straits of Gibraltar to the American ports of New York and Philadelphia. Henderson Bros, send Anchor Line steamers regularly that way, and facilities are offered by them for round trips, going by the southern and returning by the northern route, or vice versa. The Allan Line from Cape York to Quebec is a pleasant summer passage through the Gulf of St. Lawrence. As a whole this new map of the steamboat routes of the Atlantic •cannot fail to be appreciated, and we intend to have it bound up in a nice little case, as a guide to Atlantic voyagers ; and along with it we will also give our NEW TOUBIST MAP OP CENTRAL EUROPE. As this pamphlet is designed for Americans and others coming to Europe, as well as for those going from Europe to America, we insert a copy of this Map, which was engraved last year for the purpose of show- ing the lines for which Tickets may be had at the World's Ticket Office, Philadelphia, and at Ludgate Circus, London ; but since it was engraved and printed many additional lines have been provided for. STEAMBOAT BOOKINGS. The following pages show a choice of ten or a dozen steamboat lines, for any of which we are prepared to accept deposits and register passen- gers for any of the dates of departure. We can accept deposits of £5 by post or otherwise from any part of Great Britain, Ireland, and the continent of Europe ; also from Eastern places named on next page (9). As soon as deposits are received for any line, or for any steamer, a report will be made to the chief office of the company, and the berth will be secured with as much certainty as though the order were sent direct to the company's office. It will be necessary to state for what class of berth accommodation is desired where several classes of cabin passages are indicated by the different prices named ; and the names of depositors must be given in full. For associated parties the best possible pro- vision will be made, and the lowest rates obtained. Passengers can be registered and deposits accepted at any of the offices of Thomas Cook & Son, in London, Ludgate Circus, and 445, West Strand ; also at Leicester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford, Edinburgh, or Glasgow (after May 1st), Dublin, Paris, Brussels, Cologne, Geneva, Nice, and Borne (until May 1st), and at several continental hotels. The list of offices and agencies will be found on another page of this pamphlet. THE BOOKINGS FROM AMERICA will be fully explained in publications to be issued at our Centennial Ticket Office, Philadelphia - r at 263, Broadway, New York ; and at all our American offices. We do not in this pamphlet quote the fares the contrary way, as there are differences in amount and in the gold or currency principle adopted by the companies. All these points will be fully explained to inquirers at our World's Ticket Office, on the Centennial Grounds, Philadelphia. One thing we beg of our friends in connection with this business in the approaching busy season, viz., that they will be moderate in their applications for information, and after they have engaged our corresponding clerks and offices they will not deprive us of our only interest in the issue of tickets — the commission allowed to us by the companies on the passages that we actually engage. A word to the considerate on this subject will suffice. With these explanations we respectfully invite attention to the following lists of lines, steamers, and fares, prefaced by a page of through rates from foreign places. THROUGH FARES BY ATLANTIC STEAMERS AND CONTINENTAL CONNECTIONS. In trying to show through fares from distant places by different lines of Atlantic Steamers, and each of those lines showing various rates, it is necessary to have the arithmetical calculations of readers, or a volume would be required to show the combined figures. We therefore give below a table of through fares to Paris and Brussels, which, added to the quotations from either of those places, will show the entire amount from any place named underneath to the American ports. To nearly all of the places undernamed we can send travelling tickets to Paris, Brussels, London, &c, and where we have no Agency to receive deposits, the amount of £5 on a single, or £10 on a double voyage, can be sent direct to our Office, Ludgate Circus, London, Orders being made pavable to Thomas Cook & Son, Ludgate Circus. Post Office. Tickets can also be supplied, by post or otherwise, from London for the journey from any of the following places to London, Liverpool, Glasgow, or any other British port of departure for America.

"We have arrangements for booking passengers by about a dozen lines, seven of which are from the Mersey. This being the chief port as to numbers of lines, we first group, in alphabetical order, the Liverpool companies aud their arrangements, showing on one page their several fleets of steamers, days of sailing, and other particulars, and on the opposite page the fares charged from various points. Under this arrangement THE ALLAN LINE First claims notice. The steamers of this line are as follows (our spacewill not allow of our giving the names of commanders of vessels) : Sardinian Polynesian Circassian Sarmatian Moravian Peruvian Scandinavian 3000 4376 tons 4250 j ? 4000 j) 4000 n 3750 ij 3340 >) 3000 )> Prussian . 3000 Caspian . 3000 Nova Scotiaa 320) Hibernian . 3000 Austrian . 2750 Nestorian . 2750 Canadian . 2500 tons Manitobau Phoenician Waldeusian . 2500 Corinthian . 2000 Newfoundland .1500 Acadian . 1500 2500 tons 2500 The sailings of this line are weekly from Liverpool for Quebec (after 13th of April) on Thursdays, and fortnightly from Liverpool for Baltimore and Halifax on Tuesdays (on and after April 4th). Return tickets are available for coming from Quebec, Baltimore, or Halifax, and pissengers can go out either way. The Canadian steamers take passengers from Londonderry on the following day, and the Baltimore steamers call at Queenstown the day after departure from Liverpool. Berths are secured by Thomas Cook & Sox on receipt of a deposit of £5. SAILINGS FOR QUEBEC.

Yisitors should not miss these magnificent sights when brought within their reach on such easy terms. Mr. Jenkins, of the firm of Cook, Son & Jenkins, New York, the Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia, &c, has prepared programmes, as shown at the end of the steamboat notices, for 30 different routes between Baltimore or Halifax and Quebec. The steamer fares are given below. Passengers have the choice, under our special arrangements, of stopping at Halifax, and proceeding from thence by next fortnightly steamer. The return steamers leave Quebec every Saturday, and call at Moville ; and Baltimore every alternate Tuesday, calling at Halifax and Queenstown.

This is the only line of Transatlantic steamers that sails under the flag of the United States, and is the only line that sails to and from Philadelphia direct. This is an advantage so far as the Centennial Exhi- bition is concerned, and the directors of the line authorise us to say that a railway ticket from Philadelphia to New York and back will be given by them, without extra charge, to all their first class passengers who desire it. This company provide for their intermediate passengers a better bill of fare than for steerage passengers, and they also provide beds, bedding, and necessary utensils. But the only steamers on which this provision is made are the " Pennsylvania," " Ohio," " Indiana," and " Illinois." THE STEAMERS OP THE LINE ARE— Indiana. Illinois. City of Bristol. Ohio.

Pullman Drawing-room and Sleeping Cars run on the Midland Line between London and Liverpool, and third class passengers by the Midland route have the carriages and compartments formerly occupied by second class passengers. 14 THE CUNARD LINE. Our arrangements for this line are highly satisfactory, the Company having promised to allot berths as fast as the deposits come to hand, and for large parties they will give us assurance of accommodation if reasonable notice is given. Thus, for our advertised French and Belgian party going on the 13th May, by the " Abyssinia," as soon as deposits are paid the names will be registered, and berths allotted according to priority of payment of deposits. The arrangements for France will be concentrated on our office, 15, Place du Havre, Paris, and our agent there will be in direct communication with the Paris office of the Company, where instructions have been given to treat with respect and promptitude every application made for berths by any appointed steamer of the line. At Brussels, our Office, Galerie du Roi, will be the centre of operations for Belgium, where deposits must be paid ; so also at Cologne, at our Office, 40, Domhof. "We urge especial attention to the Programme of our first Personally-conducted Tour from the Continent, especially designed for France, Belgium, and the French-speaking division of Switzerland, for which deposits may be paid at our Office, 90, Rue du Rhone. The Programme, printed in French, can be had at any of our Continental Offices. In addition to regular bookings by all steamers of the Cunard Line, we hope the special party announced for May 13 will be followed by other similar parties as the season advances. The following are the APPOINTED SAILINGS for APRIL, MAY, JUNE, and JULY. The following or other Royal Mail Steamers are intended to sail from Liver- pool, via Queenstown : * Scotia, for New York - Saturday, June 3 tBatavia, for Boston- - Tuesday, June 6 Bothnia, for New York - Saturday, June 10 tChina, for Boston - - Tuesday, June 13 Abyssinia,for New York, Saturday, June 17 tParthia, for Boston - - Tuesday, Juue 20 *Russia, for New York - Saturday, June 24 tJava, for Boston - - Tuesday, June 27 Scythia, for New York - Saturday, July 1 tAlgeria, for Boston- -Tuesday, July 4 *Scotia, tor New York - Saturday, July 8 tBatavia, for Boston - Tuesday, July 11 Bothnia, for New York - Satuiday, July 15 tChina, for Boston - -Tuesday, July IS Abyssinia, for New York Saturday, July 22 tParthia, for Boston - - Tuesday, July 25 *Bussia, for Niw York - Satuiday, July 2?

Holders of B, C, D, and E Tickets may return in Class A on payment of the additional fare of 30 dollars gold at New York. Early application must be made for return passage accommodation, which can be negotiated at our Wokld's Ticket Office, Exhibition Grounds, Philadelphia, or at our Tourist Office, 261, Broadway, New York.

On the principle of " first love," we have a strong attachment to the Inman Line. Our first organising trip across the Atlantic was made by this line in November, 1865, and a section of our first special party for a tour in America went by the same line in May, 1866, the other division of the party going by the Anchor Line. A strong westerly gale of opposition blighted our hopes in the spring of 1866, but several of our associated parties from America have come by that line, and we are glad to incorporate it in our Centennial Arrangements, though we are a little restricted in our continental connections at Paris, from which point we are not in a position to quote through fares. But on the basis of our Liverpool, London, or Brussels rates, we can register passengers from any point, they paying the connecting fares from any place to those points. We insert the names of the steamers of the line, amongst which are some of the fastest that cross the Atlantic ; we also append the list of sailings to the end of August. On receipt of deposits we shall at once secure berths for any of the undermentioned RrP&nflGTfi INMAN ROYAL MAIL STEAMERS. SAILINGS from LIVERPOOL, via QUEENSTOWN, to NEW YORK.

For through fares from various parts of Germany to Brussels, see page 9. 17 THE WHITE STAR LINE. This is one of the lines for which we have long had authority to issue tickets on both sides of the Atlantic, and over which we have sent a good number of passengers. The "White Star steamers are of the highest class, and the accommodation they offer is unquestionable in every respect. Saloons, state rooms, &c, are amidships in each of the steamers of this line. The Atlantic passage of our first personally-con- ducted tour round the world was made in one of them, and gave high satisfaction. Since then the "Adriatic," "Celtic," "Britannic," and " Germanic," have been added to the fleet, and we can, with the utmost confidence, commend to Centennial visitors the White Star Line. The sailings are from Liverpool, every Thursday, calling at Queenstown the following day, and from New York every Saturday. Through Rates to New York and back, BY WHITE STAR LINE. Single. Return.

By this line steamers are despatched from Liverpool for Quebec every Wednesday during the summer, and to Boston or Portland in winter. Special facilities are offered for round tours, by which may be combined any Liverpool, Glasgow, or other lines to New York or Philadelphia, either going to, or returning from, Quebec. Our arrangements afford facilities for combining railroads and intermediate steamboat lines between New York and Quebec, same as is proposed for the Allan Line, only that the latter, by their double system of working to Balti- more, Halifax, and Quebec, command the ocean passage both ways. THE STEAMERS OP THE DOMINION LINE are— Dominion. Quebec. Mississippi. St. Louis. Texas. Ontario. Memphis. Montreal. The same Company, under the name of the Mississippi Line, also have a fortnightly service of steamers from Liverpool to New Orleans, for which we are authorised to hook passengers at very moderate rates.

Prom Bristol to New York. This Line offers facilities for the West of England, and there are certain privileges granted of an exceptional character. One is, that passengers arriving the night before sailing are permitted to go on board and sleep in their berths, and as the boats lie alongside the quay they are easy of access at all hoars. The steamers sail direct from Bristol to New York, not stopping at any Irish port. Bristol is only a journey of about three hours from London, and it is central for many towns and cities of the West. The fares, it will be seen, are very moderate, and there is a cheap second, or intermediate rate, for the working classes. The following are the dates of sailing at present arranged for April and May : — Cornwall - - Saturday, April 22 j Somerset - - - Saturday, May 20 Great Western Saturday, May 6 1 Aragon - - - Saturday, June 3 Through Rates to New York and back, BY GREAT WESTERN LINE.

Passengers can be booked at our offices in London and Birmingham on payment of a deposit of £5. 20 THE ANCHOR LINE. The remark with which the Inman Line is introduced in this pamphlet applies also to "The Anchor." We began our American tonrs with these two lines, and the Anchor Company then gave us the cheapest special fare we have ever quoted to New York and back. Since that time the increase in the number, magnitude, and accom- modation of the steamers of this line has enabled us to make special arrangements, such as no other company could well give. Twice have the company held for us the entire saloon accommodation of two of their best steamers, and on several other occasions parties of twenty to fifty have been provided for, sometimes in the very height of the season. It has also been an advantage for American visitors, coming under personal escort, to come through Scotland, thus taking en route the Trossachs, the Highlands, the two chief cities, and the land of Scott, with all the pleasant attractions of Melrose and Abbotsford. "Under these circumstances, we naturally look again to the Clyde in prospect ol the Centennial, and are in a position to treat advantageously for large or small parties desiring to go or come that way. The extra distance to the sea-board from the centre of England is met by a corresponding reduction of the ocean fares, and the journey from London to Glasgow is only a matter of ten or eleven hours. After the 1st of May we shall be in a position to offer a new tourist route to Scotland, a " consummation " that we have " devoutly " wished for many a long day. In addition to the sailings from the Clyde every Saturday, and the usual call at Moville on Sunday morning, the Anchor Company offer facilities for a circular tour, going out by the coast of Italy, through the Straits of Gibraltar, by the coast of Spain and the islands of the Azores, to New York, as per line shown on our map of the Atlantic, and returning by the Northern Channel of Ireland and the Clyde. A party of Italians are preparing to take that route and make the circuit, and we have agreed to take them up at New York, conduct them through a great portion of the States, and then, on their arrival at Glasgow, give them a sight of Scotland and England, and take them back by Paris to Turin. Already a good number of the 150 provided for are registered. "We have made several appointments for our travel- ling agents and staff to go out by the Glasgow steamers. Mr. Zipplitt on the 8th of April ; Mr. Ripley on the 22nd of April (not the 15th, as erroneously stated in the Excursionist) ; Mr. Floyd, from Jaffa, about the middle of May ; and Mr. Alexander Howard, of Beyrout, at a later date. 21 The following are the appointed sailings for April, May,' and Jane.

Pullman Cars — "Drawing-room" by day, and " Sleeping " by night — will be also introduced. For fares from other parts of the Continent, see additional table of rates to be added to the Paris, Brussels, or London fares, at page 9. Saloon fares for the round trip from Genoa, Naples, Messina, Marseilles, Gibraltar, &c, to New York and back to Glasgow, vary, according to accommodation, from £30 to £40.

Malgre le desir de rendre service aux voyageurs dans la plus grande mesure possible, en ce qui concerne le transport et l'enregistrement des bagages, MM. Thos. Cook et Fils ne peuvent accepter aucune responsabilite dans les cas de retard a la livraison, f ausse direction, avaries ou perte de bagages. Dans tous les cas les voyageurs doivent.s'assurer eux-memes de l'identite de leurs bagages, au depart et a l'arrivee, dans les gares et dans les hotels. lis sont aussi tenus d'assister personnellement a la visite des bagages par la douane. Les arrangements conclus avec les hotels pour tous les voyages faisant l'objet de ce programme sont les memes que ceux qui existent en Amerique dans tous les hotels de premier ordre ; ils donnent droit a trois repas complets par jour, non compris les vins et les liqueurs. Selon 1' usage Americain, les vins et liqueurs sont consideres comme des supplements, et sont, en consequence, payes par ceux qui les commandent. Les frais de voitures commandees par les voyageurs, pour se rendre dans les lieux publics d' amusement, sont a leur charge, de meme que le prix des entrees dans ces etablissements. Les guides interpretes mettront leur experience au service des voyageurs qui desireraient f aire des excursions en dehors du programme, afin de leur procurer les moyens de transport necessaires et f aire des arrangements aussi avantageux que possible. DEPOT DE 500 FRANCS. Les personnes qui veulent se faire inscrire pour un des quatre voyages du programme ont a verser, au moment de leur inscription, une somme de 500 francs.

PROM ITALY A similar Tour is arranged, but in three divisions, and an Italian Committee have the charge of the steamer arrangements from Genoa to Gibraltar, and from thence by the Azores to New York, as per line drawn on our Atlantic Boute Map. PROM SCANDINAVIA We offer arrangements by the Wilson Line of steamers, as shown on next page. 41 COOK'S TOUBS FROM SCANDINAVIA TO THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION PHILADELPHIA, 1876. Messrs. Thos. Cook & Son, having completed their arrangements with the principal Scandinavian railway and steamer administrations for Tours in Scandinavia, have now much pleasure in offering to the Scandinavian travelling public the advantages and economy of their world-known and popular system of tours, first, by Personally-conducted Parties from Scandinavia to Philadelphia, &c, and back. If sufficient encouragement be met with, Messrs. Thos. Cook & Son will, during the Philadelphia Exhibition season, have one or more such personally- conducted parties, the first to start early in June from Scandinavia to Philadelphia, including (for those so desiring it) a round tour, to return to New York from Philadelphia, via Baltimore, Washington, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Niagara, Albany, Boston, and Long Island Sound, New York, and spending five days in London on the way home. Fares, including passage money and living in steamers and in hotels for 45 days, 700 and 1000 kronos. Pares being reckoned from Gottenburg, there will be a small extra charge for Stockholm, Chris- tiania, Throndhjem, and Bergen. The personally-conducted parties during the whole journey out and home will be under the protection and guidance of responsible con- ductors conversant with the Scandinavian languages, and are therefore especially recommendable to those not knowing the English language, and unaccustomed to travel, but most particularly to those accom- panied by ladies. In personally-conducted parties the conductor will pay all bills, and attend to the tickets and general travelling arrangements, and also give descriptive and guiding information in regard to the various places of interest along the route, so that the tourists by the personally-con- ducted parties are not only spared all the risks, anxieties, and cares of ordinary travel, but have in addition the gratuitous assistance of an experienced and responsible informant and guide in all matters of interest m route. 42 Personally-conducted Parties to Philadelphia. The starting point for -these will, of course, be Hull, that port forming the best point of confluence of the Scandinavian communications, and with the great advantage that passengers simultaneously leaving Stock- holm, Copenhagen, Christiania, and Bergen, or Throndhjem, would, by the Steamers of the respective routes, arrive simultaneously at Hull, and thence, after a short rest on shore, at once proceed on the journey. The object in our exclusively choosing the Wilson Line of Steamers for our Scandinavian-American Exhibition Tours has been that we might thereby secure such arrangements as would, in all important matters, specially recommend said Steamers to the particular require- ments and comforts of Scandinavians, and more particularly to parties containing ladies, while for those who understand the English language, and have confidence in their travelling abilities, we add the following List of Through Fares also by the Wilson Line.

Mr. JAMES PHILP, of the Cockburn Hotel, Edinburgh, is organiz- ing a tour under our travelling and hotel arrangements, to start on the 6 th of May. His circular shows two divisions — one for 20 days in the States and the other for 40 days. Terms and conditions may be known on application to Mr. Philp. PERSONAL COMPANIONSHIP AND ASSISTANCE. Oar agents going out in April and May will be able to render all the ordinary assistance of personal conductors to those travelling under our arrangements and with our steamboat tickets. The following are the arrangements for departure : — ■ Mr. Zipplitt, by Anchor Line, April 8. Mr. Ripley, by Anchor Line, April 22. Mr. Floyd, from Jaffa (Line not fixed), May 20. Mr. Howard, from Beyrout, early in June. Mr. THOMAS COOK goes by Canard Line on the 15th of April ; returns from New York July 8, and leaves again for Philadelphia, August 28. A TOUR ROUND THE WORLD Will be organized to start from Philadelphia about the middle of September, and from San Francisco early in October, leaving time to see the Yosemite Valley. Particulars and charges for this All Round Tour will be given in the Excursionist, published in London and America. The details cannot be given until Mr. Cook arrives at Philadelphia. 50 TOURS PROM AMERICA TO EUROPE AND THE EAST. The design of this pamphlet, as originally planned, was to furnish fall information of travelling arrangements from America to Great Britain and Ireland, to the continent of Europe, and to the East. But on reconsideration we have resolved to modify our plans, and to give only a few general notes of our arrangements as they apply to this side of the Atlantic. In America, for Americans and others that may be coming eastward, it will be necessary to furnish information of our European plans in fall detail, and another pamphlet, the size of this, may have to be published at New York or Philadelphia ; and we therefore postpone till we get there the compilation of a new series of European pro- grammes. But as we give a sort of bird's-eye view of our European Tourist arrangements in the map inserted at the end of these pages, we will, with all possible brevity, epitomise our travelling and tourist tickets for various countries. IRELAND AND SCOTLAND May be taken en route on the outward or homeward passage. In going out from Liverpool, any who choose may go in advance to Qneenstown, to Londonderry or Belfast, and be taken up according to the line they have booked for ; and in returning, it will be easy to drop off at any of those places where the steamers are appointed to stop, and make a short or long tour in the north, west, or south of the country. Our tourist tickets are arranged to cover the chief routes of the country, and especially the popular tourist districts, such as the Giant's Cause- way, the Western Islands and Highlands of Connemara, Killarney, Glengarriff, Bantry, Cork, and other chief cities, such as Dublin, Belfast, Waterford, &c. Supplies of these tickets are kept at our American offices, at our London and other English offices, at our offices at Edinburgh and Glasgow, and for tourists going or coming through the country, at our Dublin office. These tickets are all issued at reduced rates both for railways and horse cars. FOR SCOTLAND we have tickets covering all the best parts of the country by land, lakes, and sea coast. Parties embarking or landing at Glasgow have the easiest facilities for visiting Melrose, Abbotsford, Dryburgh, Roslin, Hawthornden, Edinburgh, Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Callander, the Trossachs, Loch Katrine, Loch Lomond, Loch Long, Dumbarton, and Glasgow ; and if a wider range is desired, nothing can surpass in Highland interest the voyage down the Clyde, by Rothesay, the Kyles of Bute, Crinan Canal, Atlantic Coast, Oban, Staffa and lona, Glencoe, the Caledonian Canal, Inverness, Skye, the Pass of Killiecrankie, Dunkeld, Perth, Aberdeen, and other famed places. For 30 years we have been working out Scottish tourist arrangements, and 51 have a thorough command of the country. . Our plans will be facilitated by the opening of the new tourist line from Settle to Carlisle, thus giving a through route from Leeds, Bradford, Manchester, and other Lancashire towns and cities, to Edinburgh by the charming Waverley Line, and to Glasgow either by that line or direct from Carlisle by the Glasgow and South-western route. By arrangement we can organise trips through the lake district of "Westmoreland and Cumberland, and can also book to the Isle of Man by the shortest and most direct sea passage from Barrow. To facilitate Scottish arrangements we shall again station our agent, Mr. Gates, at Edinburgh, with an assistant at Glasgow ; and personally- conducted tours will be arranged at intervals during the season. It was in Scotland that Mr. Thomas Cook laid the foundation of the tourist systems of Europe, by model arrangements that have been copied, or their principles embodied, in almost every European country, and have now extended to America. The excursionists and tourists travelling to or through Scotland under our arrangements go into hun- dreds of thousands. The happiest of our tourist work has centred there, and but for this great Centennial we should have been delighted once more to spend the best part of a summer in Scotland. ENGLAND AND WALES, With the great Midland system of railways as a centre of operations, we can now cover the land from the Solway and the Clyde to the extreme Western Coast, and from the lake district to the eastern and southern shores, taking in also the Channel Islands and the Isle of Wight. A most extensive system of tours was last year opened between Bristol and the Land's End, and along the Cornish Coast to Falmouth, Plymouth, Torquay, Exeter, &c, and we are now completing the con- nections of coupons over the whole of the routes, the extreme points of which we have indicated. There are very few important towns and cities that we cannot reach by positive arrangements. We work with or for the connecting lines of the Furness Bailway, " oversands " to the head of the lake district. We have tickets from London to all parts of the Great Eastern district, the London Brighton and South Coast Lines ; the London Chatham and Dover Lines ; the Great Western, for South and North Wales, Devon and Cornwall, in addition to our own ex- tensive series of western tickets. To carry out these arrangements, we have, in addition to our two chief offices in London, excellent office arrangements at Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and Bradford, besides numerous sub-agencies in other places — such as Leicester, Sheffield, Bristol, Newcastle-on-Tyne, &c. Our Channel Routes include steamboat service from Leith, Hull, Orimsby, &c, to Eotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, &c. ; the Harwich and Antwerp and Rotterdam Steamers of the Great Eastern Company ; the new Flushing Route from Queenborough or Sheerness ; the Thames 52 Steamers of the General Steam Navigation Company to various con- tinental and northern ports 5 the famous Wilson Line from Hull or London to Scandinavia, &c. From London we have also command of the shortest sea routes, and the cheapest through routes to Paris, Brussels, &c. For all these continental points we can issue tickets from Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford, and all other chief places on the Midland Railway. A list of our offices will be appended to these notes. The travelling arrangements of our own inauguration ou the Conti- nent cover the whole of Central Europe, as partially indicated by the red lines on our European Map. But these countries must be briefly noticed in detail. FRANCE. We have already spoken of the various ways of getting to Paris, by both the Western and the Northern Lines. In Paris we have splendid arrangements for showing the chief places in the city and suburbs, by a four-in-hand turn-out, under the management and contract of Mr . Plagge, our office clerk, at 15, Place du Havre. From Paris we have the most convenient travelling tickets for long lines ever established, and all of our own arrangement, for Lyons, Marseilles, Cannes, Nice, andMentone; also for Bordeaux and other places in that direction. We have also our own through tickets, allowing numerous breaks by the way, for Modane and Turin, and for Geneva and Lausanne. All these tickets for travelling through France enable passengers to stop at Fontainebleau, Dijon, Macon, Culoz, Aix-les-Bains, Chambery, and Modane ; and tickets for Nice and Mentone allow breaks at Lyons, Marseilles, Toulon, and Cannes. Through France, in all these directions, 06 lbs. of baggage is allowed on each ticket. SWITZERLAND. We can reach Switzerland by our through tickets, as already shown, via Dijon and Macon, and we have also through tickets by the East of France Lines, via Strasburg and Belfort. Another route to Switzer- land is by the Luxembourg Railway from Brussels, via Metz and the battle-fields of the Franco-German War. We likewise book by the Rhine route to Switzerland, via Mayence, Heidelberg, Baden-Baden, &c. Two excellent systems of Circular Tickets are issued in the season from May to October, connecting Paris with Switzerland by the most practicable routes. These tickets were first prepared for English travellers, in the English language, in 1863, by Mr. Thomas Cook, and they have been greatly appreciated. When Mr. Cook first visited Switzerland, in 1863, there was not a circular ticket in the country, except a dear and impracticable one combining Chamouny with the Lake of Geneva. Mr. Cook mapped out the country into a series of routes, and formed numerous ticket combina- tions, which were worked by us exclusively for ten years, when our 53 contract expired, and a new system of single coupons, to the number or more than a hundred, .was brought out ; and now the chief lines of the country are under our arrangements, the coupons being combined so as to meet the wishes of travellers. These coupons are for railways, steamboats, and diligences, the latter crossing the Alps by the Simplon, St. Gotthard, Splugen, and Bernardine to Italy. We also reach the Black Forest from Schaffhausen, and here a new region of interest has been brought under our ticket arrangements. We have a central office for Switzerland, at Geneva, where any of our Swiss, Alpine, and Italian tickets may be obtained. ITALY. Wonderful changes have come over the travelling arrangements of Italy since, in 1863, Mr. Cook first crossed the Alps to propose to the Companies then in charge of the railways and some of the coast steamers a system of Circular Tours. After much explanation and some pressure the proposals were accepted, and the first Circular Tourist Tickets ever seen in Italy were introduced by Mr. Cook early in 1864. But at that time the chief excursion business done in Italy was by organised parties, personally conducted by Mr. Cook and one or two friendly assistants, the numbers of the parties ranging from 50 to 100. Once in that first year 96 were carried over Mont Cenis in diligences. Now all is changed : railways intersect and almost girdle the penin- sula ; Rome is made accessible by nearly half a dozen lines, and a system of tickets is established on a most liberal basis, reductions of price ranging according to distance, from 30 to 45 per cent., and allowing fro i 30 to 60 days in the country. We have a great variety of these tickets, both for the country and the lakes, and ixOv only have we a great supply for London and all our offices in Great Britain and on the Continent, but a special series has been prepared for the Centennial Exhibition and general American issue. Our business is now chiefly managed in Italy at a central office in Rome, open from September to the end of April. BELGIUM, HOLLAND, AND THE RHINE DISTRICT. Our ticket arrangements cover the whole of these districts, from Rot- terdam, Antwerp, and Brussels, to the Hague, through Holland and Belgium, and up the Rhine, or by its banks to the charming places of Rhineland. We also combine Rhine Tours with the Black Forest, Strasburg, and other places of attraction. GERMANY, BAVARIA, AND AUSTRIA. Our tickets combine almost every section of "United Germany, Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, the Tyrol, and over the Brenner, or Semmering, to Italy. For these tickets, orders will be accepted at the Woeld's Ticket Office, and at all our other offices on either side of the Atlantic. 54 SCANDINAVIA. Last season we commenced a system of tours to Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. An experimental special tour was made to the North Cape aud through parts of Laplaud. The difficulties of travel in these parts are great and peculiar, and we shall be very careful in all future arrangements not to attempt the impracticable. A system of inde- pendent coupons has been prepared for the Swedish State Railways, and we hope before the first of May to get it perfected and brought into operation. We have also effected arrangements with the Wilson Steamers, as well as those of the General Steam Navigation Company. [SPAIN. With the return of peace we hope to resume our negotiations, which were agreed upon before the war, for a system of tickets for inde- pendent travel and for tours in Spain. THE NILE AND PALESTINE. We have now had eight years' experience of tourist management in Egypt and the Holy Land. We have taken yearly up the Nile, by the Khedivie steamers, from 200 to 300 tourists. Previous to the late season we had not attempted to go beyond the First Cataract, but we have now extended our tours, by special steamer arrangements, to the Second Cataract. The season, as a whole, has been the most successful of the eight in which it has been our pleasure to serve the Adminis- tration of the Viceroy, and we have every reason to believe that additional facilities and improved service will be the result of the satisfaction expressed with regard to our agency for the ?"T-9 steamers. Our Palestine Tours, including three or four each year personally conducted, besides great numbers of independent arrangements for small, select, or family parties, have comprehended at least half the travellers that have gone through the Holy Land. Two or three years since we inaugurated a system of cheap short tours for ten, twelve, or fourteen days, from Jaffa to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, the Jordan, Bethany, and over the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem ; and that arrangement has proved very satisfactory to those who did not wish to go through to Damascus, Baalbec, the Lebanon, and Beyrout. We have also organised extended tours to the Desert, Sinai, Petra, the Land of Moab, and the Hauran. Many, both English and American travel- lers in Palestine, will recognise, and will be glad to meet at Philadel- phia, our Eastern contractor, Mr. Alexander Howard, of Beyrout, with his excellent assistant, Mr. Rolla Floyd, originally from Maine, faithful among the faithless colonists who failed in their attempts to establish an American colony on a grant of land conceded to them by the Sultan, and which has now passed into the hands of a German party. From Mr. Howard and Mr. Floyd personal information of Palestine Tours may be obtained, and the tents forwarded from Alexandria will 55 show the kind of habitations occupied in the desert and in the land where the " father of the faithful " and his family and descendants lived in tents. Aided by the tests of long experience, Messrs. Howaed and Floyd will be able to give sound information as to the requisites and costs of Palestine Tours ; and in addition to their personal testimony we will be prepared with printed programmes, itineraries, and quotations. MEDITERRANEAN, ARABIAN, INDIAN, CHINESE, JAPANESE, & PACIFIC STEAMSHIP TICKETS. For the Austrian Lloyds of Trieste, the Messageries Maritimes of France, the Rubattino of Italy, the Khedivie of Egypt, and the Eussian Steamers of the Syrian Coast and the Black Sea, we shall be able to issue tickets or vouchers securing passages by any of those lines of the Adriatic, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea, with extensions to Vienna by the Danube. Our agency for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com- pany gives us command of all the seas from the Mediterranean to Japan. We can book from Venice or Brindisi by this great line to Alexandria, Port Said, Suez (by the Canal), Aden, Bombay, Point de Galle, Calcutta, Australia, Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Yokohama ; and from Shanghai also we can book over the Inland Sea of Japan, and from Yokohama to San Francisco, completing the circle of the world by railroad tickets to Philadelphia or New York. These notes merely epitomise the compass of our arrangements, the. details of which represent thousands of tickets and coupons. PERSONALLY-CONDUCTED TOURS. The system of personal management of tourist parties, inaugurated by Mr. Thomas Cook in North Wales in 1845 ; commenced in Scotland in 1846 ; extended to Ireland in' 1849 ; practised on the Rhine and round by Strasburg to Paris and London in 1855 ; actively carried out in Great Britain and Ireland until 1863 ; then worked out through Switzerland, over the Alps, and through Italy ; then embracing for eight years Egypt and Palestine, growing and increasing in its demands until carried round the world in 1872-3 ; has now resolved itself into a great system, requiring a large staff of intelligent, courteous, reliable men, whose services are engaged all the year round, and who will go to America as they are required, and return with Americans to England, and be ready to go forward to the Continent with any who want their aid. Every week of the coming season we shall send personal conduc- tors with parties to Paris ; and every week, or alternate week, to Brus- sels, the Bhine, the Black Forest, Switzerland, the Italian Lakes, and round Italy. For ten travellers we furnish a conductor, and parties may be arranged by themselves without our intervention. In other cases public notice is given, and the arrangements are open to all who choose to avail themselves of them. 56 HOTEL ACCOMMODATION COUPONS ORIGINATED AND ISSUED BY THOMAS COOK AND SON. The Hotel Coupon business, which was commenced as a friendly arrangement of mutual interest to ourselves, to Ilotel Proprietors, and Tourists, has far exceeded our most sanguine anticipations ; and as its benefits become better known, they will be more highly appreciated by all who are interested in the success of the scheme.
