The stores and shops of Paterson are exceptionally well stocked, and residents of the outlying towns on either side — Clifton, Lake View, Garfield, Haw- thorne, Ridgewood, i^ ♦ The present existing dam was constructed in 1838-40, of immense blocks of stone, bolted together to their rock-bed with powerful clamps of iron. The water is thus diverted into an artificial channel constructed across the deep ravine and through the rocks, Avhich barely permit its passage. From this point it is made to turn in suc- cession three tiers of factories, the height of the Fall allowing three raceways, the water being used successively that number of times, after which it is once more discharged into the river, at a distance of scarcely half a mile from the j^oint of leav- ing it." " The Great Falls of the Passaic, or ' Passaich,' as it was called in the early days, have the extraordinary water-shed of over 800 square miles. The minimum supply for mill 13 purposes in a dry season is fifty square feet, the average flow, of course, being vastly greater. The aggregate horse-power is 2640. Much the greater portion of the horse-power still remains the property of the Society for P^stablishing Useful Manufactures." HAWTHORNE, A weJl-drained, healthv town of 250, PASSAIC COUNTY.

At SiifFeru the Erie swings into the Raniapo Valley, through a narrow defile. For fifteen miles the valley extends, moun- tain-bound, and at times it is of barely sufficient width to allow the passage, side by side, of the river, the historic post road, and the Erie, wliile again it will widen out into a dell or ravine which marks the course of a mountain rill or tor- rent. Here and there, too, the mountains recede, and the val- ley spreads itself into a fertile plain, and in these occasional plateaus nestle, in the order named, the little hamlets of Hill- burn, Ramapo, Sterlington, Sloatsburg, Tuxedo Park, South- fields, and Arden. The river itself is a panorama of rare beauty. Its headwaters are in a series of mountain springs and lakes, and in its course through the valley it first meanders across the flat lands, then sinks into a narrow, deep bowl, to widen presently into a placid lake, and finally, before its exit into the level country beyond the valley, it tumbles over a ledge of rocks, and falls, a seething, roaring mass, to its rocky bed full fifty feet below. In the quiet portions the boating is charming ; the banks now and then open into snug grottoes and dells, down which come sparkling, splashing streams from tlie rock-liound springs above, while the dense overhanging foliage affords a refreshing shade, and there are many sheltered pools where the bathing is delightful. The river, as well as the mountain lakes from which it springs, is populous with game fish, and in the wooded mountains small game of every variety is plentiful, insuring to the visitor the best of sport with rod or gun. The Ramapo country is in every way chai-ming, and in the way of convenient and well-a[)])ointed retreats, eminently well arranged for the accommodation of the sununer visitor. 20 SU FFE R N , Situate on the east side of the rocky ROCKLAND COUNTY.

Some of the most beautiful and healthful country on the line of the Erie is found along the " Short Cut," which extends from Turners to Newburgh, the greater part of the way hug- ging the base of a lofty wall of mountains. This range is cut Avith deep glens and valleys, and in its rocky crests it holds many a shimmering lake. Aside from the delightful scenery of the highland region and the historic interest attached to it, the experience of years has demonstrated the fact that the air \vhich circulates among these hills and valleys is possessed of curative j^roperties that render the existence of pulmonary and bronchial affections next to an impossibility. From the Schunenumk Kange to the Cornwall Hills, it is stated that there is a well-defined line which marks the boundaries of this rare mountain atmosphere, and that the area of its presence is within tlie mountain elevations just mentioned. There are innumerable instances of invalids being restored to ro1)ust health by a few seasons spent in this natural sanitarium. CENTRAL VALLEY. A healthful summer retreat situated ORANGE COUNTY, N.

' precipitous range of mountains, stage fare, night time, 75 cents. huUgS the tOUrist tO the viUage of Milford, the favorite sinnmei- home of hundreds of city people. Milford lies on a broad plateau, 200 feet above the Delaware Kiver, commanding a view up the valley that is indescribably beautiful, taking in the mountains, vales, plains, and forests of three States — the Delaware Avinding through the landscape and visible for miles. High hills surround the village on three sides, over which shaded roads lead to the many interesting points in the vicinity. The streets of the village are broad and free from dust, and 75 are bordered by splendid maple trees. There are uo pools of standing or stagnant ^vater, marshes, nor low lands anywhere in the vicinity of the place. There are four churches — Pres- byterian, Episcopal, ^lethodist, and Catholic. A quarter of a mile from the village, and reached by a romantic footpath, is the " Knob," a bold mountain peak which rises nearly 1000 feet above the place; its summit af- fords a favorite outlook with summer boarders, as the country for forty miles around is brought beneath the gaze. A stretch of meadow slopes from the base of the Knob to the Sawkill Creek, which runs between the mountain and the village, and, tumbling over an ancient dam, winds about in the Glen — a place of stately pines, picturesque islands, isolated walks and nooks among overhanging rocks, wooded knolls, miniature water- falls — a place of perpetual shade. No hotel or board- ing house in JNIilford is more than ten minutes' walk from this charming spot. A mile from Milford are the Sawkill Falls, famed for their surroundings, which are weird in the extreme. A mile below Milford begin the Clifls, a wall of perpen- dicular rock two miles in length, towering 800 feet above the road which passes down the valley at its feet. The Cliffs are easy of access by a mountain road, which continues along their summit, from which elevation a great part of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the Catskills, the Blue Kidge, and the Kittatinny jNlountains, with their numerous peaks and gaps are in plain view. Three miles below Milford, reached either by the river road or a mountain road in the interior, are the Falls of the Raymondskill, the surroundings of which are the wild woods and the towering hills— the very home of solitude. The Delaware Kiver, for a mile in front of Milford, widens into a still, deep, eddying body of water, more like a lake than 76 a river. A finer place for boating or fishing does not exist. During the black bass season, which opens July 1, and con- tinues through the year,- this part of the river is covered with the boats of those who love this most exciting sport, and the scene is picturesque and enlivening. Sportsmen will find at- tendants and boats at any time in Milford. There are several mountain lakes of great beauty in the vicinity of Milford, all stocked with pickerel and other choice fish. Among these lakes are the Sawkill, Little and Big Brink, the two Log Taverns, and the two Walker ponds. Excursions to these lakes are popular pastimes during the summer season. Midway between the magnificent surroundings of Ding- man's — soon to be described — and those of Milford is Cona- shaugh Spring, on the beautiful Conashaugh Brook, and in a valley that is simply charming. A step or two from the brook, and perpetually shaded by the trees that stand thickly about, is the Conashaugh Spring, a pool of the coldest, purest, crys- tal water, bubbling out of the earth through sand white as snow. Three ragged mountain peaks rise in the immediate vi- cinity — one at least 800 feet high — cone shaped and covered with forest trees, shutting in the spot as by a wall, and con- signing it to seclusion that is its greatest charm.

The eildleSS chaill as a rule. ^f uiouiitaiiis that lioms it about is traversed by streams of considerable size, which, rising in the still higher lands of the " back country," are literally hurled aud tumbled over precipices and obtruding rocks, from the time they leave the parent springs until they reach the level of the valley, over a thousand feet below. They have worn deep ravines and curious chambers in the rocks ; hollowed out, by continuous falling, basins where the waters seethe and boil, and flow through chasms to the bottom of which the sun has never cast a beam. In the vicinity of Dingman's Ferry six of these streams thunder down the mountain. The Dingman Creek and Adam's Creek are particularly prolific in these grand works of nature. Their cataracts and glens and gorges annually furnish subjects to both poet and |)ainter. The Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls, High Falls and Silver-Thread Falls, on the former stream, are equal to any in the Catskills. High Falls is a wild reach of stream two hundred feet in ex- tent — a high perpendicular leap, then a gathering of the waters, and then a thundering plunge down the slanting but angular face of the rocks. Factory Falls is a tumultuous dropping of the waters of the creek wrought to their utmost fury by sharp projecting rocks and frequent precipices, until they writhe and contort themselves into such shapes as have gained them the name of Maniac Waters. Fulmer Falls are a series of most picturesque cataracts. The Silver-Thread Fall is the crowning beauty of these mountain torrents. It 80 is a thread of water but a few feet wide, but it comes with one continuous fall of one hundred and fifty feet down the face of the mountain, every droj^ of water being lashed into the whitest foam. Standing at the side of the troubled pool which receives the waters after their plunge, the visitor may look up along the course of the Silver Thread, and see a patch of blue sky at the farther end. The falls on Dingman Creek are within from one to three miles of the High Falls House, the proprietor of which has rendered them easy of access, they having formerly been reached with great difficulty. Adam's Creek, on which there are a still greater number of natural curiosities, is a mile from Dingman's Ferry. Like Dingman and the other creeks in this vicinity, it is a famous trout stream, and a favorite resort of many persons prominent in letters and art. The Bushkill Falls are thirteen miles from Dingman's ; the Delaware Water Gap twenty-five. Conveyances are furnished at Dingman's for visiting all these attractions in the valley. HOTELS.

High hills rise on every side, from which extensive views of the rugged outlying country may be en- joyed. The atmosphere is pure and bracing, and fevers of any kind never originate in this region. The air is peculiarly favorable to asthmatics and persons afflicted with kindred dis- eases. A mosquito would be a curiosity in this section, and heat never interferes with sleep, and neither dampness nor fog render evening or morning disagreeable. There are trout streams in the vicinity, and the best of bass fishing in Pleasant Lake, a beautiful sheet of water one mile distant. Katrina Falls, a picturesque cataract, with grand surroundings ; Edward's Island, in the Neversink, and Strange's Grove, are favorite retreats about the village.

Qq^q of ^J^g f^j-^gg^ yig^yg [j^ the country are met with between White Lake and Monticello. White Lake Village has its name from the large and beautiful sheet of water that lies at the feet of the mountains lifting up their heads about it. The lake is of great depth and purity, aud is really one immense spring of living water. It formerly abounded in trout of a size rarely attained by that species of fish, it being on record that they have been caught in the lake weighing nearly nine pounds. Some years ago, however, pickerel were placed in these waters, and they exterminated the trout. To compensate for the loss of the latter, the lake was subsequently stocked with black bass from Lake George, and the favorite sport of black bass fishing is now one of the great attractions of White Lake. Bass weighing five and six pounds are frequently taken. As long ago as 1846 White Lake was a popular summer resort, and a hotel was erected for the especial accommodation of city guests. The natural attractions of the place, together with its wonderful health fulness, have drawn people to it annually in increased numbers, until to-day few resorts equal it in the number and high character of its boarding houses. From any of the near by eminences the whole scope of this beautiful section is brought beneath the gaze. The prominent features of the near-by landscape are the circling lake and the sloping front of Mount Wilder, which rises from the south shore to an altitude of 800 feet above the water. 89 The outlying country is much of it deep forest, where deer and other wild game still abound. In fact, the sojourner at White Lake finds the advantage of civilization and the charm of the vast wilderness combining to make the place unlike any other resort of its class in the country, and one that it takes more than a single season to " do " properly and satisfactorily. Boats, fishing tackle, &c., are furnished guests by all hotels and boarding houses. They also run carriages to and from Monticello trains during the season. There are Presbyterian and Reformed churches at White Lake, and a Methodist church at Mongaup Valley, a drive of four miles. HOTELS AND BOARDING HOUSES. Mansion House— D. B.

Y. The attractions of this place are its pure air, its beau- tiful scenery, its fishing, its boating, and the general wildness that pervades the surroundings. Roads climb the surround- ing hills, and lead to many a point of interest. The " Westcolang Lake and Delaware River Park Assso- ciation" has about four thousand five hundred acres of land located in Lackawaxen Township, Pike County, Pa., in the heart of the famous Pike County fishing and hunting region. The object of the association is to keep this large and valu- able tract as a game and fish preserve and private park. It has a large front on the Delaw^are River, and is unexcelled for the purposes to w^hich it has been appropriated. Another great advantage is its accessibility ; Lackaw^axen, a station on the main line of the Erie Railway, being within two miles of the park. Westcolang Lake and Creek, included in this property, are noted for pickerel, black bass, and trout fishing; Spruce 97 Swamp, in the western part of the preserve, is the resort of wiki fowh Extending for nearly a mile along Westcolang Creek is a glen rivaling in magnificence Shohola and Glen Onoko. This tract might well be called the " Hunter's Para- dise," as game of all kinds is found in abundance. A new club house is proposed in the near future and will be built upon a bluff several hundred feet above the Delaware Kiver. Half-way between Lackawaxen and Shohola is Panther Brook, with its charming glen and cataract, and its trout. A mile above the station is Lord's Brook, which forms a number of handsome falls a short distance back in the Avoods, and adds its quota of trout to the demand of the neighborhood. On the top of the ridge across the Delaware, a mile from Lack- awaxen, is Mountain Lake, a large sheet of crystal water, well- stocked with pickerel. Beyond the crag that stands at the junction of the Delaware and Lackawaxen Valleys is Wesco- line Lake, also famous for pickerel. Taylor's Brook is five miles distant; the Shohola fishing grounds, six; Beaver Brook, three miles ; Blooming Grove, and its streams, lake, and hunting grounds, twelve miles, over a good road. Deer, bear, partridge, woodcock ; bass, trout, pickerel, eels, cat-fish. No mosquitoes or malaria. The town has a population of 200.

The Calli- coon Creek, which enters the Delaware a short distance below the station, threads the back wilderness and a splendid farm- ing section. Along its entire course, from the hills on either side, tributary streams flow into it at short intervals. The main stream and its feeders are natural trout creeks, and all the season long they afford royal sport to the angler. All these 106 brooks are within five miles of the station. On the Pennsyl- vania side of the river is Hollister Creek. For two miles from the river this creek flows through a wild and narrow gorge, and seeks the level of the river by a series of wonderful water- falls. The borders of the creek are thickly grown with rhodo- dendrons, and the early summer fills the glen with bands of pink-tinted bloom. Numerous lakes cluster in the hills on both sides of the river, the famous Bethel township lakes, in Sullivan County, being within easy reach. In Wayne County, Galilee Lake, Duck Harbor, Swago Lake and others are near and convenient of access. Bass, pickerel, and perch fishing are attractions of these waters. No malaria or mosquitoes.

This spot was called She-haw-ken by the Indiaus, which meaus " where the waters meet." The village here was formerly called by that name. Hancock, the present village, is surrounded by the loftiest elevations of the Delaware Highlands, all of which are 115 heavily wooded. At no point along the river is the scenery more grand. Hancock is a neat and beautifully located place, and is the centre of the great lumber region of the upper Del- aware. The population of the town is about 4000, and of the village about 1000. There is an excellent graded public school with five teachers, numerous churches of every denom- ination, and stores and shops of all kinds. Hancock is literally surrounded by trout streams, there being no less than eleven within convenient reach. Cadosia, Reeds, Sands, Shehawken, Trout, Pease Eddy, and Tyler Creeks are among them. The Beaver Kill is only twelve miles distant. The scenery on and about these streams is grand — falls, glens, and wild ravines being met with at short intervals.

Millville Family Commutation, 50 trips, J592.50. * •' ^ ^ has a population of 400, good public schools, a Methodist church, and good general stores. Near Millville is the princely domain of the Blooming Grove Park Association. The property of the Association consists of 12,000 acres of wild mountain and valley lands, well adapted for the rearing and preservation of game. The region is as romantic and healthy as the Adirondacks, and it is destined to be- come as great a resort for summer idlers as the wilderness immortalized by the pen of Murray. Within its boundaries there are several miles of trout streams and eight beautiful lakes stocked with black bass and other fish. On the high bank of the clearest and fairest of this chain of lakes a club- house has been built, and furnished with accommodations for eighty people. The point is 1500 feet above tide-water, and it is free from malaria and mosquitoes. The association is dual in character. It admits women to all of its privileges. The anglers and hunters take their wives and children into the woods with them. From the balconies of the club-house a magnificent view is obtained ; the eye wanders over lakes and hills, and in the dim distance rests upon the tops of the Catskill Mountains. Seven hundred acres of the forest have been 121 enclosed with stone and wire fence, and within it elk, deer, and other game are bred. The shooting in Blooming Grove Park consists of deer, black bear, woodcock, ruffed grouse, hares, rabbits, ducks, and snipe. The spot is so attractive and so easy of access that it cannot fail to grow in popularity. Tink, Big and Little Gorilla, Knob, White Deer, and Jones Lakes are within a radius of seven miles. Several picturesque waterfalls near. Livery may be had at Millville, where there are also first-class hotel accommodations. BOARDING HOUSE. MoSES C. Westbrook— P.

All around Family Commutation, 50 trips, 1697.50. Hawlcy the sportsmau will find the finest of lakes and streams and noted game haunts. The Wallenpaupack River, its head-waters interlocking with those of the Lehigh far back in the Pocono Wilderness, enters the Lackavvaxen at Hawley. Its flow, until it reaches within a mile and a half of that place, is deep and sluggish. At the point named a series of the most magnificent falls commences. The first plunge of the water is over a precipice of seventy-five feet, and from there on to the last fall, a half mile above its mouth, the descent of the stream is two hundred and fifty feet. The grand fall, a portion of it visible from the railroad, but mostly hidden by a cluster of mills and factories, is about eighty feet high and fifty in width, the ledge over which it thunders having been worn in horse-shoe form. There are good schools, both public and private ; churches of various denominations, and shops and stores of every variety, all carrying full lines of goods. The variety of fish and game about here is large, and consists of trout, bass, and pickerel ; deer, bear, fox, par- tridge, rabbits. Hawley is also the station for Blooming Grove Park. Good hotels and livery. Jones Lake, a famous picnic resort, and a beautiful sheet of water, is but six miles distant. It has two elegant summer hotels located on its shore. From Hawley the Erie and Wyoming Valley Railroad ex- tends through the romantic region lying between the Lack- awaxen, Lackawanna, and Wyoming Valleys. The Moosic Mountains, a spur of the Alleghenies, and one of the loftiest 128 mountain chains in the State, offer great attractions to the summer sojourner. There are many streams, waterfalls, and lakes. The country is densely wooded. The sportsman will find ample opportunity along this branch of the Erie for the exercise of his skill with both rod and gun. BOARDING HOUSES. David B. Layton— P.

Terminus of the celebrated Gravity road owned by the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, This road extends to Carboudale, 17 miles, in the upper Lackawanna coal regions, and is now one of the most popular excursion railroads in America. The cars run up and down 125 . the high hills, there being no motive power perceptible to the tourist. At one point an elevation of 2000 feet above tide is reached. The ride is exhilarating, grand, indescribable, and hundreds of tourists enjoy it daily during the summer and autumn months. The Honesdale livery accommodations are excellent. Honesdale is situated between high hills, on a plain through which two romantic mountain streams flow, uniting in the village and forming the Lackawaxen River. There are two wide basins where the streams unite, and the water is formed into the most picturesque lakes. From the eastern shore of one of these. Lake Dyberry, a solid ledge of serried and moss-grown slate rock rises almost sheer to the height of nearly 400 feet. The village itself is 800 feet above the sea- level. The New York Tribune, in its issue of April 17th, 1885, speaks as follows of Honesdale : " Philip Hone, who was probably the courtliest mayor New York ever had, was the first president of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company. The beautiful village that sprung from the woods at the head of the canal in Wayne County, Pa., near the coal mines, was called Honesdale in his honor. In the summer of 1844, Philip Hone, John Jacob Astor, and other eminent gentlemen inter- ested in the canal, invited Washington Irving to join them in a junketing trip from New York to Rondout, and then by private packet from that place up the canal to Honesdale. A boat was fitted up in the most elegant manner to carry them." The trip was described in a letter from Irving to his sister in glowing terms. This beautiful blending of rock, lake, and stream elicited many expressions of delight from him, and he insisted on scaling the rocky height in order to study the 126 surrounding scenery. The entire company climbed to the sum- mit by a circuitous route. The delight of Irving was so great when he had reached the summit — from which the country for a hundred miles around is spread beneath the eye — that Philip Hone insisted that the ledge be known as Irving Cliif, and that Washington Irving christen it as such. This he did by breaking a bottle of champagne on the rock. A maple- bordered road extending along the base of the cliff, between it and the water, Irving named Lady wood Lane, a name it bears to this day. Honesdale has a population of 7000, many good schools and churches of the various denominations, also good stores and shops of all kinds. HOTELS. Allen House — M. B.

The views of the surrounding country, which are obtained from some of the more elevated portions of the town, are unexcelled anywhere, and few portions of the country afford greater attractions to lovers of the beautiful. 128 Piermont has a population of about 1600. There are four good schools, two public and two private, and four churches — a Methodist, a Baptist, a Catholic, and a Dutch Reformed — and good stores well stocked. A plentiful supply of pure water is obtained from both springs and w^ells. The town is naturally drained and is exceptionally healthy, chills and malaria being unknown in the vicinity. There is splendid fishing, both in the river and in the mountain streams which wind around among the hills, and there is good hunting in season. The celebrated Rockland Lake is near at hand, and the road lead- ing to it affords one of the most enjoyable of the myriad of romantic drives Avhich are common to the neighborhood. There are also many delightful w^alks, and the Tappan Zee presents a choice spot for bathing and boating in the summer, and for ice yachting and skating in winter. BOARDING HOUSKS.

Within the northern boundary of the town is a lofty hill called Mount Nebo, a delightfully romantic locality, with moss and lichen-covered rocks and ledges, open glades car- peted with velvet grass, sequestered glens and miniature val- leys — all scattered about in the midst of a garniture of prime- val forest of noble growth. It is here that one of the most picturesquely beautiful of all "God's acres" is laid out — Kockland Cemetery. From the top of Mount Nebo a truly magnificent view of the surrounding country is to be had. The picture thus spread out to view is limited only by the waters of Long Island Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, the Staten Island hills, the hazy blue of the Pennsylvania mountains and the Alleghenies, tlie Ramapo range, the Hudson High- lands and the Catskills, and comprehends the entire diversi- fied landscape which lies within these boundaries ; and the view from the crest of the Palisade ridge, a short mile distant, is equally fine. There are any number of fine drives over clean, hard, broad 130 roads to })leasant local resorts, and there are enjoyable walks in every direction. The neighboring streams are well stocked with game fish of every variety, and there is excellent sport for the hunter among the hills or along the creek bottoms. Health has its home in this region, and chills are unknown. The air is pure and salubrious, and beneficial to invalids and those to whom the climate nearer the salt water seems harsh and unfriendly. The town itself has a natural drainage which is simply perfect, and an abundance of pure cold water. Population, 500; good public schools. There is one church — an Episcopalian — and good general stores. BOARDING HOUSES. Mrs. I. II. 8PEN0ER — J mile. 3 single, 3 double rooms. Good livery, fishing, and gunning. G. W.

J., in the midst of a primeval forest, and surrounded by towering hills and mountains, this " Loch Katrine of the American Trosach8 " presents scenic attractions of no mean order ; and, with its surroundings and appointments, possesses unrivaled attractions to those who seek rest, health, or recreation in the midst of rural beauty. x'he lake itself is a thousand feet above tide-water, and its waters are deep, clear, and cold — prime requisites for the com- fort and perfect development of its finny inhabitants ; and it has always been held in high esteem as a superior fishing ground. Here the angler will find game fish of every variety — bass, pike, and pickerel being the most prominent. For the accommodation and entertainment of visitors, there are several well-appointed hotels, located at convenient inter- vals on most favorable and attractive sites along the shores of 144 the lake, and the transient or permanent visitor will find every accommodation and convenience, and at moderate cost ; while hunting or fishing parties who desire to bring their own equipage, and try a season of " roughing it," will find along the shores, or upon the wooded islands in the lake, any number of choice spots especially adapted to. camping out. He who can stop in this charming region for the season, or for a few days only, will discover ample occupation for many an idle hour in whichever direction his fimcy may lead him. Here, at the lake itself, he will find every facility for rowing, sailing, fishing, and bathing ; and in the adjacent mountains, easily reached by quiet, shaded pathways, are many romantic ravines and dells, their rocky walls garnished with beautiful mosses, ferns, and wild flowers. Though near at hand, these mountain wilds are so sequestered that they offer a safe brooding place for the game birds, and almost at every turn the visitor Avill "flush" a covey of quail or a mother partridge and her family, while the song of the wild bird greets him at every hand. There are many pleasant drives about Greenwood Lake,, the most interesting, perhaps, being to Point Peter, an eleva- tion of the Bellevale Mountain, and a famous point of obser-^,. vation on the Trosachs excursion route, and to Sterling Lake, a beautiful body of water located in a deep basin surrounded by high mountains. Take it all in all, there are few places of resort within convenient reach of New York that offer such a variety of attractions to the j^leasure seeker, and the time is not far distant when it will be one of the most thoroughly visited resorts on the continent. The town has a population of 600, two good schools, one public and one private ; a Meth- odist and a Union church, and two good general stores. 145 WARWICK WOODLANDS, The property of the Greenwood Lake Improvement Company, is situated on the woodhmd of Greenwood Lake, and occupies one of the choicest sites on the lake. This property, wliich comprises some eight hundred and fifty acres, witli a lake frontage of nearly three miles, has been laid out in desirable building lots, which are rapidly being secured for summer villas and cottages; and is now a model summer village. Within less than an hour's walk from this j^ortion of the lake, reached by a wildly picturesque ramble around the face of the mountain overlooking the lake, is a miniature glen situ- ated in the midst of a timber growth so dense as to shut out almost entirely the rays of the sun, and give to the spot a twi- light shade that is enchantingly weird. Through a rift in the rock splashes and tumbles a mountain stream in a series of rapids, cascades, and waterfiills, which, though diminutive in size, help to form a picture exceptionally romantic and beau- tiful, and well worth a visit. On a w^ell-wooded plateau which here marks the base of the mountain, is the Frank Forester House and the elegant club-house of the Greenwood Lake Association ; and near at hand are several handsome cottages, the property of certain members of the association.

The 147 town has a natural drainage which has been so improved by art that its sanitary condition is perfect, and this, together with the pure mountain air and sahibrious climate, combines to render the entire locality the home of health. One of the most enjoyable features of this delightful place is Llewellyn Park, an enclosure of some 800 acres, and the home of a number of families whose elaborate residences, embow- ered in the midst of a collection of rare trees, plants, and flowers, are among the handsomest in the city. There are any number of enjoyable drives in every direction, and from the more elevated portions of the town delightful views are ob- tained, but the crowning glory of the landscape is })resented by the outlook from Eagle Eock. This is a lofty hill, 600 feet in height, and the view obtained from the summit is one the visitor will never forget. The population of Orange is 45,000 ; there are churches of every denomination, a splendid public school system, also excellent private schools, and shops and stores of every variety. Between "The Oranges" and New York a greatly increased train service has been established via the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway, nineteen trains being run each way on week days, twelve of them express trains making no stops on Main Line, and four trains each way on Sundays. These trains are unsurpassed for elegance of appointments, the coaches are new^ and of artistic design, the locomotives are of the latest approved pattern for burning hard coal, and the entire equipment comprises all the modern appliances essential to safety, speed, and comfort. In addition to all this, passengers can purchase single-trip or excursion tickets, at rates quoted above, between Orange and New York, which include, without extra charge, the street 148 car fare on the Orange Cross-Town Street Railway (from Scot- land Street, via Central Avenue, Cone and Day Streets, to or from Day — Washington Street Station on the Greenwood Lake Railway), or the stage line fare on the lines running from Central Avenue, via Harrison and Washington Streets, to or from Washington Street Station, and from Halstead Street near Main, via Prospect Street, to or from Prospect Street Station on Greenwood Lake Railway.
