The drives about the surrounding country are all that can be desired, and the accommodations for Summer boarders are exceed- ingly good and liberal. Returning to Golden's Bridge, we resume our journey on the main line, and, after passing through Purdy's and Croton Falls, we enter Putnam County, and stop at Brewsters, an enterprising and growing village. 52 miles from Xew York, with a population of nearly 2,500. Con- nections are made here in Union Station with the Xew York & Xew England Railroad for Danbury, ^Yaterbury, Hart- ford, Willimantic, etc. The surrounding country is rich in farms, iron mines, delightful drives, lakes well stocked with fish, and historical reminiscences, while its healthfulness is established beyond question by such evidences as the absence of malarial influences, and the long and contented lives of its happy inhabitants.

HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 45 of notice may be mentioned the broad acres once tilled by the late Daniel Drew, now occupied by his only son, Wil- liam H. Drew ; the large estate left by the late Joshua Bar- num to his son Stephen C. Barnum ; " Fairview," recently sold by John P. Kennedy, President of the Mutual Gas Light Company of New York City, to C. C. Fitzhugh ; and " Stonehenge," the residence of Seth B. Howe, the wealthiest retired showman in the world. The iron mines are celebrated for the richness of the deposit and the fine engineering displayed in mining and raising the ore. Scores of students from various colleges and mining schools visit the mines to witness the practical part of the work and obtain specimens. They, as well as other visitors, are cor- dially welcomed by the superintendents in charge. On Doansburg Hill, east of the village, may be seen the birthplace of Chancellor Kent, and a church is still stand- ing on the site that was occupied by Rev. Elisha Kent, the Chancellor's grandfather, about 1740. Houses in which the Minute Men held meetings at the beginning of the Revo- lutionary War are pointed out, and many near descendants of officers in that war are living in that vicinity. The stor- age reservoir, maintained for the supply of Croton water to New York City, is a beautiful sheet of water, surrounded by a macadamized driveway. Another reservoir, known as " Sodam Dam," is now being constructed one mile east of the village. The factory of the New York Condensed Milk Co., on the east branch of the Croton River, receives the milk of 8,000 cows, and produces daily 25,000 pounds of " Gail Borden's Eagle Brand Condensed Milk," which as is well known, enjoys a world-wide reputation. The drives about Brewsters are easy and interesting, and the country around is noted for its fine scenery. Resuming our way HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 47 again, and passing the pretty little village of Dykeman's, we come in sight of the extensive store-houses of the National Ice Company at Ice Pond, the source of New York City's principal ice supply. The pond — certainly worthy of a more distinctive appellation — is a beautiful sheet of water of crystal purity — and lies among the hills a little to the east of the railroad track. It abounds with several varieties of fish, and in Summer is a favorite resort of anglers. Two miles farther on is Towners, delightfully situated in the midst of a fine grazing country. Milk is naturally the chief product, but tobacco is also cultivated quite successfully. Leaving Towners we speed away over a level stretch for several miles, until we come to Patterson, one of the most beautiful villages in Put- nam County, and an ideal spot to spend the Summer months. Farming is the chief occupation, and so fertile is the soil BUTCHER HOUSE, PAWLING. 48 SUMMER HOMES ON THE and the conditions of climate so favorable that bountiful crops are the rule. All the surroundings of this place are picturesque, the combination of hill and dale, stream and meadow, being very pleasant to the eye There are a num- ber of handsome houses in the village and several churches. The stock farm of Mr. E. A. Hayt is one of the finest in this part of the State, and is visited by every one who comes to Patterson. A quarry has recently been discovered just back of the village, which yields a very fine quality of col- ored marble, resembling closely in its markings and general appearance Mexican onyx. Experts pronounce it the only deposit of the kind in the United States, and it is expected that it will very largely supply the place of fine foreign marbles in interior decorations, etc. The discovery was made by the merest accident a little over a year ago, by a party of prospectors, who were endeavoring to locate a white marble quarry. A company has been incorporated under the title of the Buch-Allen Marble Company, and the work is being pushed with energy. A few minutes after leaving Patterson, we enter Dutchess County, and arrive at Pawling, a charming place of about 1,200 population, 65 miles from New York, and especially fitted by Nature and art for a first-class Summer resort. Situated some 700 feet above the level of the sea, the air is remarkably pure, bracing and delightful. The location is certainly as health- ful as any in the country, and, with the rapid transit of the Harlem Railroad, is so near the great metropolis that busi- ness men may spend seven or eight hours in the city between ordinary breakfast and dinner hours, and breathe an abso- lutely pure and healthy atmosphere 14 hours out of 24. Mosquitoes and malaria are unknown here, Pawling is HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 49 indebted to the enterprise, liberality and public spirit of John B. Dutcher, Esq., for one of the handsomest and best appointed hotels to be found anywhere. In addition to the beautiful grounds about the hotel, which include some 5° SUMMER HOMES ON THE eight or ten acres, and which have been laid out with pleasing and artistic effect, a handsomely improved park of 200 acres has been provided for the pleasure and comfort of guests and visitors. Among the varied attractions of the park is the beautiful Green Mountain Lake, well stocked with bass and other choice fish ; a beautiful evergreen mountain, with both walks and a driveway to its summit, which commands a delightful view ; there is a club and boat-house of hand- some design and ample proportions ; also, in the park an excellent half-mile driving course, which is maintained in good condition during the season. Within a few miles of Pawling there are several lakes. The nearest, about half a mile from the hotel, is Green Mountain Lake, in Dutcher Park. Whaley and Little Lakes, near by, are noted for their excellent black bass, while Hammersley's Lake, a HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 51 beautiful sheet of water with shaded lawns encircling it, is especially popular with such as are romantically inclined. From the summits of Mount Tom and West Mountain, situated about a mile to the west of Pawling, a view is pre- sented of Catskill Mountains, 60 miles away. To the east of the village — about three miles — is Quaker Hill, Upon the summit is the Mizzentop Hotel, situated at an actual elevation of 1,300 feet above the sea, and commanding some of the finest scenery found in the North. The healthfulness of the place is unsurpassed, the sanitary arrangements perfect. The air is cool, dry, invigor- ating and sleep-producing. The walks and drives in the vicinity of Mizzentop are beautiful. Hammersley Lake, within one and one-half miles, furnishes excellent fishing. The historical associations of Quaker Hill are full of interest. Here Washington's headquarters were located during the Revolution, and the house occupied by Wash- ington and Lafayette remains but slightly altered. The old Quaker Meeting House, erected in 1764, is within walk- ing distance of the hotel. Continuing our way, we pass the little villages of South Dover and Dover Furnace, and come to Dover Plains, an interesting town of between 700 and 800 population, 76 miles from New York. There is no more picturesque region within a few hours' ride of New York City, by rail, than the hill country of eastern Dutchess County lying along the borders of Connecticut, and tra- versed by the Harlem Railroad. The two ranges of lofty uplands known as Quaker Hill and Chestnut Ridge may justly be ranked among the most healthful localities in the State. Chestnut Ridge is about three miles in length, north and south, and forms a part of the water-shed 5 2 SUMMER HOMES ON THE between the Hudson and Housatonic Rivers. Its mean alti- tude is about 1,100 feet above tide-water. It is a fragment of the Blue Ridge branch of the Appalachian chain of mountains, which is cleft by the Hudson at West Point, and, stretching away northeastward, includes the lofty Taghkanick and Berkshire Hills in Western Massachusetts and fraternizes with the Green Mountains of Vermont and White Mountains of New Hampshire. The outlook from the Ridge in all directions is magnificent. From one point there is an uninterrupted view of the entire Catskill and Shawangunk Mountain ranges, west of the Hudson, 80 miles in extent, from the Highlands to the Helderbergh Hills in Albany County. The Ridge itself is one of the richest grazing and fruit regions in the State, nearly every acre being tillable land, and its healthfulness is proverbial. The summit of the Ridge is reached by a picturesque high- CopyrighteJ. LAKE HAMMEKSLEY AND BOAT HOUSE. From "Outing. iifctfc! 54 SUMMER HOMES ON THE way, three miles from Dover Plains Station. One of the points of interest to strangers is the magnificent Stock Farm of Mr. D. H. Sherman, the General Live Stock Agent of the Erie Road. Some of the finest Holstein cattle in the country have been bred by him. At Dover Plains are the famous *' Wells" and the " Old Stone Church," and both will repay a visit. The small streams flowing from the western hills have worn deep ravines, and in several places have formed beautiful cascades. About a mile southwest of the village of Dover Plains a small stream flows clown the mountain in a succession of rapids, three to twelve feet in height, and at the foot of each fall smooth, rounded holes, called " The Wells," have been worn in the rocks to a considerable depth. Above these, on the mountains, in a wooded gorge with romantic and picturesque surround- ings, is The Old Stone Church. — A small stream of water after leaving a little lake at the foot of the slope of Plymouth Hill, glides in murmuring rapids nearly every foot of the way until it reaches a point in the mountains west of Dover Plains village, whence it descends in sparkling cascades to the level fields below. This small stream, in its passage down this declivity for ages, has worn for itself a remark- able channel through the rocks. At a point toward the foot of the mountain it has wrought an extensive Cavern, the entrance to it at the outlet of the stream being in the form of a Gothic Arch. The " Church " is illuminated by a skylight formed by a fissure in the rocks above. This light is pleasantly reflected upon the rocky sides of the church, and reveals a fallen rock, which, from its position and form, is called the "Pulpit." Out of the arched door the brook — the patient architect of the church — flows HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 55 gently, and then leaps in cascades and rapids to the plains below. From the apex of the roof the cavern gradually widens until, at the base, the span of the arch is about 25 feet. At the farther extremity of the church is a beautiful waterfall, over which a staircase leads to extensive ledges of rocks at a height of 30 feet, forming commodious gal- leries overlooking the body of the church. The massive sombre archway of the stone church cave, the pulpit rock, the walls almost perfectly arched, and papered with green moss and white lichen, the sound of falling water, and even the spray behind the pulpit, like the sprinkling of holy incense — all contribute to make it a church of nature's own fashioning, literary a little cathedral " not made with hands." The Great Preacher continues the same old service within its shadowed recesses that was commenced ages ago, and which proceeds with the same solemn stateliness whether men bear or forbear. Day and night, without ceasing, vespers, midnight mass and matins proceed. The 5 6 SUMMER HOMES ON THE deep-toned organ peals as if it were the wind, and the chant of the choir mingles its silvery tones as musically as the falling of water ; trumpet and cymbal and harp peal and fade and echo, and through them tremble tones like the far-off voices of young men and maidens singing. At sun- rise, through all the long Summer day, at twilight, at even- ing, and louder as night deepens, the eternal service pro- ceeds, unwearied by the watchers of the day, by the changes of season, by the lapse of years, or by the procession of cen- turies. The Indian hushed and heard it ; the white fron- tiersman heard it ; and it mingles just the same with silence or with the shriek of the locomotive as we hurry on our journey, and in a few minutes find ourselves at Wassaic, a cosy little town of about 400 inhabitants. Sr miles from Xew York, that has surprised many tourists, familiar with our own and foreign lands, with the imposing grandeur and beauty of its scenery. A more delightful spot is rarely found. There is a quaintness, too, about the place, its surroundings, the numerous quiet nooks and shady retreats, that is sure to fascinate the tourist, and afford the Summer resident continual, enjoyment. A romantic little story is associated with one especially charming and secluded retreat near Wassaic : On a hillside, commanding a magnificent view of the valley below, moss-grown rocks have combined with closely intertwining boughs of overhanging trees to form an apart- ment of almost architectural regularity, about eight feet square (with one open side), and with an altitude of about the same number of feet to the level, thickly-grown foliage above. Many years ago, but whether it was before or since " once upon a time " the narrator saith not, this pretty freak of nature was the favorite resort of a bright, merry HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 57 little child, named Madge — " Buttercup and Daisy Madge " she was called, from her fondness for those flowers. Day after day in the gentle spring-time little Madge would wend her way to her favorite retreat, gathering as she went the flowers she loved best, and would pass hours there counting and arranging them to please her fancy. One day little Madge went as usual to the secluded nook that had so charmed her life, and never returned ; nor has she ever been seen since. But year after year a daisy and a butter- cup are said to spring up and blossom side by side in the place where Madge was last seen, and the place is known to this day as the " Madgie Nook." The New York Con- densed Milk Company have another of their model factories here, which gives employment to several hundred hands, mostly recruited among the sons and daughters of neigh- boring farmers. The process of condensing the milk and putting it into cans, ready for the market, is intensely inter- esting, and requires some very wonderful machinery. Three miles farther we come to Amenia, a handsome and thriving place, 84 miles from New York, with a population of about 600. The valley here widens into a bay of rolling meadow land, very much 55 SUMMER HOMES OX THE as the Hudson broadens at Xewburgh to one coming up the highlands. The Taghkanick Mountains extend along the east border, and the Highlands belonging to the Fish- kill Range extend through the west part. Xo country affords finer contrasts of mountain, hill, ravine, wood and cultivated plain. All its approaches from the west are beside streams, through gorges, up and down steep declivi- ties as wild and varied as those of far-famed Switzerland. The contrast between the fairness of a clear Summer after- noon and a rugged thunder-storm in the night is not greater than that of the fair fields of Lithgow and the stern, dark mountains and fearful ruggedness of Deep Hollow. Standing on an eminence, midway between the east and west ranges, and occupying one of the finest points in the Harlem valley, is theAmenia Seminary, founded in 1835. Sharon Street, in the State of Connecticut, is three and a half miles east of Amenia Station, or two and a half miles from Sharon Station, with which it connects by stage. Many Summer boarders are attracted to this spot by the rural loveliness of the place, the " Street " being 200 feet wide and about two miles long. Ranging along either side of this superb avenue are grand old elms whose leafy branches intertwine o'erhead, forming a natural arbor of rare beauty and proportions. Situated at an elevation of 780 feet, it commands many and beautiful views across to the Berkshire Hills, the intervening landscape being dotted with thrifty farms and old residences erected more than a hundred years ago, but so well preserved that they scarcely show the wear of two generations. The principal hotel is the Sharon Inn, conducted by genial Solomon Kirby, but excellent accommodations are obtainable at a score of other houses in the village. Indeed, the only business prosecuted 60 SUMMER HOMES OX THE with any diligence during the season is that of keeping Summer boarders. The drive across through the Sharon Valley is one of the most delightful imaginable, and unfolds a succession of charming views. The drives in this region are charming, and in point of healthfulness and in freedom from all that is annoying, nothing is left to be desired. Passing through Sharon Station and Coleman's, we arrive at Millerton, 92 miles from New York. Population about 700. At this point the Harlem Railroad connects with the Xewburgh, Dutchess & Connecticut Railroad for Millbrook, Matteawan and Newburgh. Lakeville, the home of ev-Governor Holly, of Connecticut, is a charming village. Two miles to the north of it is the residence of William H. Barnum, Esq. Millerton is situated on high ground, is exceedingly healthy, and enjoys cool nights through the warmest weather. There are few places that have so many attractions within a radius of from eight to ten miles. Twin Lakes are especially grand, the largest, or north lake, being about eight miles in circumference. Near Millerton is the oldest iron mine in the United States. The ore from this mine was used in making cannon for the patriot army of the Revolutionary War. Continuing on our way, we next come to Mount Riga, 95 miles from New York, and the highest point on the line of the Harlem Railroad, and lies at an elevation of 672 feet above tide level. The village has a population of about 500. It lies in a valley three-fourths of a mile wide, bounded on the east by the mountain from which it derives its name, and on the west by a range of high hills running north about four miles. The principal or most prominent hill, called "Cave Hill," is directly HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 6 1 opposite the village, and is covered by a handsome forest growth. On a steep side of this hill is an extensive cave, which, to a depth of 400 feet, contains apartments 50 feet high. It has never been fully explored farther than 400 feet from its mouth, owing to the narrowness of the passage at that point. Three miles distant, on the very summit of Mount Riga are two large lakes, abounding with many varieties of choice fish. ■ Two miles north of the village, Webotuck Brook has its source ; running south through the valley, and augmented by numerous small tributaries, it becomes quite a stream of pure spring water, and affords good trout fishing. Four miles from the village, on Riga Range, is the highest point in the State of Connecticut. The next point we reach is Boston Corners, an interesting town in Columbia County, 99 miles from New York, and the junction of the Harlem Railroad with the Central New England & Western and the New York & Massachusetts Railroads. Boston Corners will long be remembered as the place where the famous prize fight between Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan occurred. At the point where the "ring was pitched " one can step from the State of New York into Connecticut or Massachusetts. Resuming our way, a ride of five miles brings us to Copake, T04 miles from New York, and with a popu- lation of about 400. Here are extensive iron works, and about two miles east of the station are the famous Bash- Bish Falls, a favorite resort for picnic parties, and, as to scenery, is one of the finest points of observation between New York and Montreal. The waters come dashing down the mountain side in a reckless sort of glee, splashing and leaping from crag to crag, while here and there, in a sunlit HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 63 opening of the grand old forest, is the tasteful residence of some admirer of the picturesque in Nature. The Gorge, the Rock Cliffs, the Eagle's Nest and Sunset Cliff are well worthy of an afternoon's visit. Five miles from Copake (or Copake Iron Works, as the station is now called) is Mount Washington, the southwestern township of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. It includes a plateau of several miles in extent, with an elevation of 2,000 feet, and is bordered by mountain tops which rise several hundred feet higher — Mount Everett, which has an altitude of nearly 2,700 feet, being the highest peak. Many of the surround- ing mountain-tops are easily reached by delightful drives or rambles, and afford extensive views of the lower country. Looking east from Mount Everett, the Housatonic Valley, including Great Barrington, Sheffield, Egremont and other villages, is in plain view ; and to the west from Mount Alandar, the Valley of the Hudson extending to the Cats- kill Mountains, 35 miles away. Owing to its elevation this place is always cool and breezy, and the absence of manu- facturing of any kind renders the air and water pure. The scenery is varied and picturesque in the extreme, and the seeker after pleasure finds an endless variety of attractions — waterfalls, gorges, ravines, lakes, trout streams and excel- lent roads, which are well kept. The drives are indeed delightful, and include the following places of interest : Sunset Rock, Prospect Rock, Mount Fray, Bare Rock Falls ; Sage's Ravine, with its numerous cascades ; Bash- Bish Falls, with its hotel ; and, by a half mile walk at the terminus of a drive, the summit of Mount Everett. No place in Berkshire County is so favorably situated as a Sum- mer resort as Mount Washington, and the hotels and board- ing houses are well filled during the Summer months. The 64 SUMMER HOMES OX THE South Berkshire Mountain Club, an association organized for the purpose of securing to a limited number of families a sociable, enjoyable and inexpensive Summer home among the most picturesque and healthful surroundings to be found in New England, has selected as a site the Taconic Wood- lands, the westerly portion of the celebrated Sky Farm, in the Town of Mount Washington. The Woodlands are 1,700 feet above tide-water, and are reached by a drive of three miles over a charmingly romantic road from Copake Station. The Historic Sky Farm Cottage has been selected to serve the present requirements of a club house and restaurant. Table board and accommodations for a limited number of lodgers can be had at reasonable rates. Returning to Copake, and resuming our way, a ride of a few miles brings us to Hillsdale, a lovely spot, appropriately named, 10S miles from New York, and nine miles from Great Bar- rington, which is also a popular center for Summer board- ers, lying, as it does, in a lap of hills, surrounded by rare beauty. Many persons who choose Great Barrington for HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 65 their Summer home come via Harlem Railroad to Hillsdale, so as to enjoy the delightful drive of nine miles across the country. The turbulence in Hillsdale for three-fourths of a century after its first settlement by civilized people, who were composed of different nationalities, has presented any historic record being kept of them. In 1620 the King of England granted to a New England company all the terri- tory in America between the 40th and 48th degree of north latitude, with an unlimited boundary on the west, which, of course embraced what is now the town of Hillsdale. Sub- sequently the government of Holland conveyed to a Dutch company the territory in America between the Chesapeake Bay and the Connecticut River, the town of Hillsdale being embraced in the conveyance. In pursuance of the English grant, Robert Noble emigrated from Westfield to Hillsdale, and was the first white settler in the town. He, with his associates, procured the Indian title to land five miles square. They built a fort on what is now the land of Leonard Johnson, at which one life was lost in the conflict under land titles, and many arrests were made under both the authorities of New York and Massachusetts, and men were long imprisoned, both at Albany and Springfield. Such is the early history of Hillsdale. One poet has sung that "A competence is all that a man can enjoy," while an- other has sung, " Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home." Hillsdale possesses the means for many a happy home. There is that about this vicinity which is especially welcome and enjoyable to those who love the beauties of Nature combined with a pure and invigorating atmosphere. Continuing our journey, and passing through Crary- ville, Martindale and Philmont, with its manufactories and knitting-mills, we come upon one of the finest views in 66 SUMMER HOMES ON THE Hudson Valley. Well cultivated farms, with their pleasant farm-houses, slope away toward the river, and the hills covered with flocks and the valleys with corn, seem only little patches of various colors reaching away to the blue Catskills. Passing the little town of Ghent, with its peaceful population of about 500, we come to Chatham, the terminus of the Harlem Railroad, 127 miles from New York. Population of about 3,000. This is a busy little railroad center, where connection is made with the Boston & Albany Railroad for all points west ; and for Pittsfield, North Adams, Springfield and Boston, to the east. jrxM^^m, Connection is also made with the Lebanon Springs Rail- road for Lebanon Springs and other points north. Chatham and its vicinity present many attractions to those who, choosing pleasant homes for the Summer, desire to seek rest and quiet from the busy turmoil of the city, and yet remain within easy reach of railroads, telegraph, post- office, etc. With its fine hotels, numerous private boarding- HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 6j houses, all pleasantly located, accommodations can be furnished for a large number of guests, and at moderate prices. Or, should a more rural life be preferred during the warmer days of Summer, numberless pleasant farm- houses may be found within ten or 15 minutes' drive from the village, where all the pleasures of " life on the farm " may be enjoyed. From the eminences in and about Chatham beautiful views may be had of the surrounding country, with the Catskill Mountains and the grand old Hudson in the dis- tance. These, together with the pleasant drives, good roads, and pure, bracing air, add much toward making it a most desirable locality in which to take up a residence for the Summer months. The lovers of good fishing can also find numerous trout streams within a radius of a dozen miles, which are prolific with specimens of that gamy species of the fish family which delights the heart of the fisherman. The lakes of Queechy, Kinderhook and Copake furnish ample fishing grounds for bass, pickerel, perch and white fish. 68 SUMMER HOMES OX THE The Hudson River Division.

After leaving Mott Haven the line of the Hudson Divis- ion turns westward and follows the course of the shallow but sparkling Harlem until its waters mingle with those of the majestic Hudson. High Bridge, Morris Heights and Kings Bridge are passed in quick succession, and the train comes to a stop at Spuyten Duyvil, whose terraced hills are thickly dotted with the magnificent Summer houses of the social and com- mercial magnates of the metropolis. The imposing battlements of the Hudson Palis- ades rise in bold relief against the sky on the farther bank of the noble river. For twenty miles these ramparts guard the west- ern shore, rising to a height of 300 feet, and A GLIMPSE OF HIGH EKIDGE, r* - 70 SUMMER HOMES ON THE effectually stopping the traveler from views of the country beyond. Past field and wood, past hill and dale, teeming with historic memories dating from aboriginal, colonial and revolutionary days, the train is swiftly whirled. A moment after leaving Spuyten Duyvil Creek we pass the little town of Riverdale, one of the handsomest suburbs of New York, containing many elegant residences. A little further on is Mount St. Vincent, where is located an extensive Roman Catholic Convent School for girls, famous for the excellence of its educational system. The large gray stone castle at Mount St. Vincent was formerly the residence of Edwin Forrest, the tragedian, but now belongs to the con- vent, having been sold by him to the Sisters of Charity, under whose management St. Vincent is conducted. About two miles above Mount St. Vincent, 17 miles from New York, is Yonkers, beautifully situated on villa-crowned slopes at the mouth of the Nepperhan or Saw Mill River. It has a population of about 30,000, and contains several fine churches, excellent hotels, and many elegant residences. It has gas, water-works and a police department, the latter being connected by telegraph with police head-quarters in New York City. Many important manufacturing establish- ments are located here, among them being mower and reaper works, silk, carpet and hat factories, machine and elevator works, and the shops of the Eagle Pencil Company. Yonk- ers is an ancient settlement, and was the home of Mary Phillipse, the first love of George Washington. A halo of romance still lingers round the famous old mansion of which she was an inmate, and tradition renders it literally certain 72 SUMMER HOMES ON THE that however she may have failed to reciprocate the attach- ment of the youthful Washington, she was nevertheless the reigning belle of the period, and well entitled to whatever satisfaction her easy conquest may have afforded her. The manor of Colendock, comprising 2,400 acres, and in col- onial days the property of Patroon Van der Donck, was the original site of this flourishing city. Hastings, most romantically situated, is a thriving village of about 1,800 population. Proximity to New York, DOBB S FERRY ON THE HUDSON. and frequent train service, render it peculiarly desirable as a suburban residence. A number of tasteful dwellings lately completed and in process of building, are offered at reasonable rentals. The elegant residences of many wealthy New Yorkers can be seen nestling among the trees that crown the hills, and afford a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding countrv. SUMMER HOMES OX THE Dobb's Ferry (Greenburgh), two miles beyond, is a pleasant village lying along the river slope, at the mouth of the Wisquaqua Creek. It is also the suburban home of a large number of New York's business men, and like all places within easy distance of Xew York, is rapidly taking on the aspect of metropolitan life. The new Glen Tower Hotel, conducted by Mr. Ewen Hathaway, formerly of the Victoria Hotel. Xew York, occupies a high bluff facing the Palisades. It will be opened for the reception of guests about June 20th. Four miles above Dobb's Fern* is the village of Irvington, named in honor of Washington Irving, whose gifted pen has immortalized many of the neighboring localities, among them the far-famed " Sleepy Hollow " and " Wolfert's Roost." " Sunnyside " cottage, renowned as the home of Irving, is close by, near the margin of the river, almost hidden from view by the dense growth of the surrounding trees and shrubbery. A flourishing ivy vine, which half conceals the east end of the house, is the product of slips planted by Irving, which he secured from Sir Walter Scott on the occasion of his visit to Abbottsford. Lyndehurst, the old Paulding Manor, now the property of Jay Gould, is perhaps the most conspicuous of - the many fine residences in the vicinity of Irvington.

Had the traitorous plans of the brave but faithless American been carried to a successful issue, the whole succeeding history of our country would doubtless have been materially changed. Nyack, a thriving and beautiful town, is located on the western bank of the Hudson, opposite Tarrytown, with which village it is connected by ferry. Sing Sing, a handsome little city of 10,000 inhabitants, has a national reputation as being the abiding-place of many of New York's citizens who for a time have retired into an unwilling seclusion. The train dashes by the cold, gray walls of the prison, and we almost imagine we can hear the clank of chains and the shuffling of feet. The town itself is very beautiful, many elegant residences rising on the long upward slope from the river and having a mag- nificent view. The Croton aqueduct passes through Sing Sing, and is carried over a ravine by a stone arch 70 feet in height and having a span of 88 feet. Across the river is Haverstraw Bay, into which the gallant explorer Hendrick Hudson sailed centuries ago, and finding no outlet, thought he had arrived at the head waters of the " Shattemuc," as the Indian termed the Hudson. His mistake was after- wards emulated by Peek, a. bold Dutch adventurer, who, having discovered another tributary to the river, thought it the main stream. His name and memory are perpetuated by the village of Peekskill. Continuing the journey, Croton, Oscawana, Crugers and Montrose, popular suburban places with many hand- some villa residences, are passed in quick succession, and 76 SUMMER HOMES ON THE TARRYTOWX : OLD DITCH CHURCH IN SLEEPY HOLLOW. the traveler is at the gates of the romantically beautiful region known as the Hudson Highlands. One of the prettiest towns on the Hudson, situated at the mouth of the Peek's Kill, or Annsville Creek, is Peekskill, 43 miles from Xew York, a bustling and thriving place of about io,oco inhabitants. Its history dates back to a period anterior to the Revolu- tionary War, and in those trying times it played an import- ant part. On the old Van Cortlandt farm, two miles north of the town, yet stands the house in which, for a time, General Washington had his headquarters, and just beyond can be seen the church in which he worshipped. Historic old Fort Independence was situated just above the village, where its ruins are still pointed out to the curious. Many Revolutionary heroes are buried in the surrounding church- yard. Just east of the town is the Summer residence and farm of the late Henry Ward Beecher. The town contains many beautiful residences and is the Summer home of a number of wealthy New Yorkers. Numerous large lakes in the surrounding country afford excellent fishing. At Roa Hook, a mile and a half north of Peekskill Station, on a high bluff overlooking the river, is the site purchased by the State of New York for the purposes of a State camp, and here, every year from June until Septem- ber, our volunteer soldiers repair in detachments to under- go for a week the routine and rigorous discipline of regular army life. HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 77 Opposite Peekskill on the west shore of the river is Jones' Point, above which rises the rocky and storm-beaten crags of the Dunderberg Mountain. Plans are under way to erect a large hotel on the highest peak of the Dunder- berg, and to construct a spiral railroad 14 miles in length leading up to it. Near the Dunderberg is Anthony's Nose, rising to a height of 1,200 feet. Forts Clinton and Mont- gomery likewise on the west side of the river a short dis- tance above this point, at one time constituted the chief fortifications for pro- tection against invasion of the upper Hudson, and were regarded as invulnerable to the artillery of the day and proof against assault. Picturesque Iona Island, some 300 acres in extent, lies within a triangle formed by Dunderburg, Anthony's Nose and Bear Mountain. This is a favorite spot for picnic parties from New York. The upper end of the island is devoted to grape culture. Leaving Peekskill the train has fully entered the Highlands, and beautiful views abound. Passing High- lands Station it stops at Garrison, a charming spot of historic renown, and one of the popular Summer resorts in the vicinity of New York, Its principal hotel is the Highland House, whose charming location and excellent service have created a demand for THE DEPEW HOMESTEAD, 1'EEKSKILL 73 SUMMER HOMES ON THE accommodations which keep the house comfortably filled the year 'round. The Croft House is also very well patron- ized. At Garrison connections are made by ferry with West Point, the site of the United States Military Academy, and of a fortress erected during the War of Independence. The site commands one of the finest river passes in the world, and the academy is located upon a plateau 180 feet above the river. It was established in 1802. The fort and a chain stretched across the river by the patriots were captured by the British in 1777, but were abandoned after Burgoyne's surrender. Stronger works were then erected by the Continental forces, and these Arnold bargained to betray to the enemy, but his scheme was foiled by the capture of Andre. West Point is located in the very bosom of the High- BEVERLY DOCK. NEAR GARRISON. 8o SUMMER HOMES ON THE lands, and is their chief attraction. It is a bulwark of the nation in more senses than one, and a favorite resort with Summer pleasure seekers. The vicinity abounds in delightful walks and drives, and within easy access are the ruins of Forts Montgomery and Clinton on opposite sides of Popoloken Creek. Near by, too, is Bloody Pond, which the simple country folk still believe to be guarded by the ghosts of Hessian soldiers, while Sugar Loaf and Anthony's Nose raise their lofty crests in the background. An object of much interest to visitors is an old furnace used during the Revolution for casting can- non and other warlike material for the patriot army. Many of the pleasant memories and lasting associations connected with West Point, the Military Academy, and the neighboring hills and valleys, which have re-choed to the strains of " Benny Havens, Oh !

The commencement exercises at the Academy attract to Crans- ton's many early comers who make their plans to remain and enjoy the complex charms of wooded hills, the broad flowing river, and the social gaieties which are the natural outcome of such close proximity to a military camp Three miles above Garrison is Cold Spring, a picturesque village with a resident popu- lation of about 3,000, which number is largely augmented during the Summer months by the influx of city visitors. " Undercliffe," the home of George P. Morris, the poet, stands on a plateau north of Cold Spring, and the celebrated COLD SPRING ON THE HUDSON RIVER. cannon foundry of R. P. Parrott, the inventor of the Par- rott gun, is also near. The next stop, a mile beyond, is Storm King Station, which connects the ferry with Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, one of the principal Summer resorts on the river. There are several large hotels and numerous Summer boarding houses here, the whole section being largely given over during the season to Summer boarders. 52 SUMMER HOMES ON THE Near Cornwall the placid Moodna empties its waters into the river. This poetic stream formerly bore the name of "Murderer's Creek," and owes the gratifying change in its appellation to the appreciative nature of the late N. P. Willis, whose home "Idlewild," stands upon its western bank, close to the spot where it mingles with the Hudson. Nigh to Cornwall, also, rise the steep sides of Storm King — colossal, matchless in proportion and position — and Dunderburg, with Cro' Nest and Bear Hill nestling between them. Go only a little way up the pleasant mountain road and you will come to an old farmhouse with orchard and grapery attached, where lives one of the oldest of the old stock of New York brokers, St. John. He was sent up here by his physician apparently in the last stages of consumption, with the hope that the pure mountain air might prolong his life a few brief weeks, or perhaps a month. That was over STATE CAMP AT PEEKSKILL.— THE GUARD HOUSE; OLD AND NEW Gl HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 83 twenty years ago, and now he is over 90 years old, and as hale and hearty as many a man in his prime, certainly a remarkable testimonial to the healthfulness of this region. Still ascending you finally reach the plateau of the western spur of the Storm King, 1,200 feet above the sea. On this spot the late Dr. E. H. Champlin, a graduate of the medical colleges of New York and Paris, and descendant of the Champlins who discovered Lake Champlain, built a house in which he resided with his family for many years. The grandest view from Cornwall Heights, always excepting that from the Storm King, is obtained from the summit of a large plateau known as the Storm King Park, and sometimes called the Baby Tuxedo, as it is planned somewhat after Lorillard's Tuxedo Park. On the north- western verge of this plateau an elegant club-house is being constructed for the accommodation of members and their families, and it is proposed to erect in the near future a score or more of small dwellings for such of the club mem- bers as desire privacy. The park embraces between 400 and 500 acres, and the club is reported to number about 100 members. Dutchess Junction is the connecting point with the New- burgh, Dutchess & Connecticut Railway, along which line are located very many attractive Summer boarding places, of which Millbrook is perhaps the most widely known. Fishkill is a thriving village in Dutchess County, sur- rounded by fine scenery, and containing many handsome residences. The Verplank House, two miles northeast of the landing, is interesting as having once been the headquarters of Baron Steuben, of Revolutionary fame. Connections are made here by ferry with Newburgh, which is located upon the western bank of the river. The latter town §4 SUMMER HOMES OX THE contains about 25,000 inhabitants, and has several large manufacturing enterprises. Hendrick Hudson was so much impressed with this locality, that in 1609 he wrote of it as follows : " It is as beautiful a land as one can tread upon; a very pleasant place to build a town on."

Gliding past Low Point, Xew Hamburgh and Milton Ferry, the train thunders into the depot at Poughkeepsie, 74 miles from Xew York. This is one of the principal cities between New York and Albany, and con- tains a population of about 25,000. It is an important trade center, and includes several large manufacturing establish- ments within its limits, among which are the large Buckeye Mower and Reaper Works of Adraince, Piatt & Co., the 86 SUMMER HOMES OX THE Works of the Poughkeepsie Glass Company, which has one of the largest melting furnaces in the country, the rolling mill of the Phcenix Horseshoe Company, and several large shoe factories and knitting mills. Poughkeepsie is also noted for its educational institutions, foremost among which is Vassar College, for young ladies, which is situated about two miles east of the station, and is reached by horse cars. The main building, modeled after the Tuileries, is 500 feet long and five stories in height. The college has several hundred students, and is celebrated for its thorough educa- tional facilities. Prominent among the features of Poughkeepsie must be mentioned the great bridge spanning the Hudson at this i '^^iM ^SfilKS w^ llSP^PP?i=^r Hi: — "* _ _^_^_-^j_Jfr«-*==-- =^_ - £3kr~ — - ~~ - if — -: — -^ 1 1 L^ijiiiii— POUGHKEEPSIE AND THE ERIDGE. point. In magnitude, boldness of design, or beauty of shape and situation, it is not surpassed by any other com- pleted bridge of its kind in the world. Five miles above Poughkeepsie is Hyde Park, an attractive village containing numerous Summer boarding houses. In the vicinity are several ancient and extensive country seats, including " Placentia," the former home of James K. Paulding, one of the pioneers 88 SUMMER HOME? ON THE of American literature. The village of Staatseurgh is next passed, and a few miles beyond is Rhinecliff, the station for the village of Rhinebeck, a favorite Summer resort, noted for its excellent hotels and boarding houses. It has steam ferry connections with Rondout and Kingston, nearly opposite. The two latter towns are now incorporated as one, and known as Kingston. Connections are also made with the Ulster & Delaware Railroad for Catskill mountain resorts. About a mile south of Rhinecliff Station are Ellerslie, the beautiful country seat of Vice-President Morton, and the handsome residences of R. B. Buckley, Jacob Ruppert and others. Kingston is the capital of Ulster County, and has a population of more than 20,000. It was incorporated as a city in 1S72, and is a bustling, pushing town. It has a front of four miles on the Hudson. Beautiful scenery abounds in the vicinity, and there are many pleasant and romantic drives in the neighboring country. It is also the terminus of the Ulster 6: Delaware and the W-alkill Valley railroads. Six miles further up the river we come to the next station, Barry town, named in honor of General Barry of Rev- olutionary fame. The town was founded in 177S, and numbers about 250 inhabitants. Old settlers refer to it as Lower Red Hook Landing. In the vicinity are two mag- nificent estates — one, Montgomery Hall, built by the widow of the brave General Montgomery, who lost his life in the assault on Quebec, stands on a high bluff overlook- ing the river, about one mile north of the village ; the other — Rokeby, the residence of the late William B. Astor. The next stop is ■'■■":■■'>?■■ 90 SUMMER HOMES ON THE Tivoli, 99 miles from New York, population about 4,000. The residence of the late Colonel Peyster, built prior to the Revolutionary War by one of the Livingston family, stands on a wooded bluff, a little to the north. Tivoli has regular ferry connection with Saugerties, an enterprising village on the west bank. From this place is obtained a comprehensive view of the Catskill Mountains, and on a clear day the Overlook Mountain House, Hotel Kaaterskill and Catskill Mountain House may be easily distinguished. Speeding reluctantly past the pretty little villages of Germantowx and Linlithgo, the traveler next reaches Catskill Station, no miles from New York, which connects by steam ferry with Catskill proper, the capital of Greene County. This is the landing place for thousands of tourists who annually visit the Catskill Mountains lying a few miles to the west. The new Otis Elevating Railway completed this season connects with the Catskill Mountain Railway at Otis Junction, and will become the popular route for Catskill Mountain House, Hotel Kaaterskill, Laurel House, Haines' Falls, Twilight Park and Tannersville. The ascent of the mountain, from this point will be made in ten minutes. Catskill Mountain Station, at the summit of the Otis incline railway, is 500 feet from the Catskill Mountain House, one mile from Hotel Kaaterskill, one and one-half miles from Laurel House, four miles from Haines' Falls and Twilight Park, and six miles from Tannersville.

At this point connections are made with the Boston & Albany Railroad ; also with the Kinderhook & Hudson Railroad for Kinderhook and Niverville. The quaint old village of Claverack, in Columbia County, is located four miles inland from Hudson, and is a historic place. In the present era, however, its chief claim to distinction lies in the fact that it contains within its limits the celebrated " Claverack College and Hudson River Institute," a prosperous and well-conducted school for both sexes, which has attained a national reputation. CATSKILL MOUNTAIN HOUSE. 92 SUMMER HOMES ON THE The handsome and substantial college buildings, surrounded by beautiful and well-shaded lawns, and commanding most charming views of the romantic scenery in which the neigh- borhood abounds, are the features of the village. The old Dutch Church, with its staring date of 1767 on its western side, shines out in old-fashioned red among the towering oaks that keep ward over it and its adjoining cemetery. On the opposite crest is " Fairview," the stately mansion built by the late Dr. Flack, who was the founder of the college, and its president for more than 30 years. Down the village street are the residences of the descendants of the Muhlers, the Ostranders, and the Van Rensselaers, and in a quaint old yellow-brick dormer-windowed house are to be seen the lares and penates of Gen. James Watson, and other distinguished — Webbs. The "Spook Rock," in a shady swirl of the Claverack Creek, is visited on moonlight nights by the neighboring swains and their sweethearts, who linger to see it turn in its shiny bed when it hears the Insti- tute bell. Resuming the journey, the hamlets of Stock- port, Coxsackie, Stuyvesant, Schodack, and Castleton are quickly passed, and the train rolls into the station at East Albany. This is the point of separation for those traveling still further north and those westward bound. The former continuing on to Troy and other northern points, while the latter are borne across the stupendous bridge over the Hudson, which forms the con- necting link between East Albany and Albany. Albany, one of the most flourishing cities in the East, and the capital of New York State, is situated on three hills on the west bank of the Hudson, six miles below the head of tide-water, and at the point where the Erie and Champlain Canals join the river. Founded by the Dutch : ia . k : 94 SUMMER HOMES ON THE as a training-post in 1614, and called Fort Orange, it is the oldest surviving European settlement in the thirteen orig- inal States — Jamestown, Va., founded seven years earlier (in 1607), having long ceased to be inhabited, only the ruins of a church tower and a few tombstones remaining to mark the spot. In 1644 its present name was given it, in honor of the Duke of York and Albany (afterwards James II.). It was chartered in 1686 and became the State cap- ital in 1797. Owing to its commanding position at the head of navigation on the river, Albany is most advantage- ously situated for commerce, and is the chief emporium for the transit trade of the coast towns with those of the north and northwest. It is also the center in which a number of railways meet, connecting it with the East by the Boston & THE HUDSON RIVER. HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 95 Albany and the Fitchburg railroads ; with the North and Canada by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Rail- road ; with the West & South by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad ; with the Southwest by the Albany & Susquehanna Railroad. It has water communication with the North by the Champlain Canal ; with the West by the Erie Canal, and with the South by the Hudson River. There are two bridges over the Hudson, built by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad. Tourists from the North, East and South, bound for Sharon Springs, Cooperstown, and Otsego Lake, can quickly reach their destination by taking the Albany & Susquehanna Division of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad. Of the public buildings the New Capitol, recently built, is a very large and imposing edifice, covering more than three acres of ground, and is one of the finest and most expensive buildings in the State. Troy, six miles above Albany, is a flourishing city with a population of about 60,000. It contains many large man- ufactories of various kinds, attractive streets and avenues, tasteful houses and handsome churches. Poestenkill Creek Hows through the city, and supplies water to numerous mills. The Rensaeller Polytechnic Institute and the Wil- lard Seminary for-girls located here, are among the most noted educational institutions of the country. Schenectady, a city of about 24,000 inhabitants, situ- ated on the right bank of the Mohawk River, on a spot which once formed the council-ground of the Mohawks, was founded in 1661 by Arent Van Corlear. It is the seat of Union College, one of the oldest educational institutions in the country, many of whose graduates have attained prominence in National and State affairs. There are also ? rt < * - o o £ 0> w fl 3 h fed c s £ HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 97 extensive electrical, iron and locomotive works and car shops here, employing several thousand men. The burning of Schenectady and the massacre of its inhabitants, which took place February 9, 1690, was one of the tragic events which marked the early struggles of European nations for supremacy on this continent. The invaders were French- men and Indians from Montreal, under the command of Lieut. Le Moyne de St. Helene, who passed down the Mohawk by way of Lake Champlain and the trails branch- ing southward from the head of that lake. The march was made on snow-shoes, and was one of the most notable undertakings in the early history of border warfare. Suc- cess depended on surprising the town at night and prevent- ing any adequate defence. The surprise was complete, and only sixty, old people and children, were spared. Con- nections are here made with the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad for Ballston, Saratoga, Lake George and Lake Champlain. Crossing the iron bridge that spans the Mohawk River at this point, the tourist is borne rapidly through a delighful section, and soon arrives at Amsterdam, an enterprising and prosperous city of over 20,000 inhabitants. It has many large factories, including the extensive carpet factories of S. Sandford & Sons, the linseed oil works of Kellogg & Miller, carriage spring, broom and boiler works on a large scale, and is located in the midst of romantic scenery. Fonda is the county seat of Montgomery County, and a bustling village. Johnstown and Gloversville, two thriv- ing towns with a world-wide reputation for their glove and mitten manufactories, are connected with the main line at this point by the Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville Rail- road.

Among the most delightful places within a few hours' ride of New York are the now famous resorts of the Berk- shire Hills, which lie partly in Eastern New York, but principally in Southwestern Massachusetts, and are reached by the fast trains of the Harlem Division of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad. A ride of 19 miles from Chatham, over the Lebanon Springs Railroad, brings one to Lebanon Springs, famed for the medicinal springs which gave the village its name, its beautiful valley and pure mountain air. The drives in the neighborhood of the springs are unsurpassed by any watering-place in the world, whether it be along the beautiful valley roads leading to Nassau, to Queechy Lake and to Williamstown, Mass., Lenox or Stockbridge, or surmounting the hills and moun- tains which encompass the place in almost every direction, where new beauties open to the view with every mile. Conspicuous among the numerous places for the entertain- ment of guests is Columbia Hall, a large hotel situated on the slope, and overlooking the valley and village. This hotel has lately been thoroughly overhauled and refur- nished, and now takes its place among the first-class Summer resort houses. Pittsfield, 26 miles from Chatham, on the line of the Boston & Albany Railroad, is a flourishing town of 16,000 inhabitants, and the capital of the delightful Berkshire region. It is a favorite resort of a large number of New York families during the Summer and Autumn months. The village is charmingly situated at a high elevation, with IOO SUMMER HOMES ON THE the Taconics on the west and the Hoosacs on the east, and contains many large hotels and elegant private dwellings.

Leaving Grand Central Station at 3.50 P. M., Norfolk connection is reached at 6.26 P. M., in a through car, via the New York Central to Millerton, thence via the Central New England & Western. Three miles east of Millerton, after passing through " Ore Hill," notable only for the very fine quality of iron ore here found, the car reaches the first of a succession of charming villages, in Lakeville, situated on the shore of a beautiful sheet of water, and supplied with country hotels and boarding houses of moderate charges and excellent accommodations. The next stop, at Salis- bury, shows one a neat, attractive country town, where Summer board can be had. Chapinville, eight miles from Millerton, is another of the lake villages of this region, as also is Twin Lakes, another mile further east. Justice to the quiet beauty of these delightful spots cannot be done in so short a space, but a visit to either will convince any- one that too much cannot be said in their favor. HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 103 The very sight of the surroundings of lake and forest, cool shady nooks, pine grove and general quiet, is restful ; and to one in quest of comfort, quiet pleasure and rest, no place offers greater advantages. Just east of Twin Lakes the Housatonic River is first seen, and its course is followed closely by the railway to Canaan, a beautiful village, com- paratively well known, and receiving each season a large number of Summer visitors. A few miles further on we reach the summit of the Litchfield Hills, and the village of Norfolk, the beauty and delights of which can illy be described here. From Norfolk magnificent views are to be seen in every direction. Bear Mountain (the highest land in the State), Bald Peak, Haystack Mountain, Talcott Mountain and many others are plainly visible. On the top of Haystack Mountain a Belvedere was erected some four years ago, and from this a view is had that is probably not excelled in America, mountain peaks in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York being plainly visible. Very many Summer cottages of elegant design and finish are located here, and many more are building ; the residents being the citizens of Boston, Hartford, New Haven and New York. It is but 30 miles to the world-famed Lenox of the Berkshire Hills, and an excellent country road between the two points is freely utilized by those who love long country drives.

Catskill Mountains.— Of all the health and pleasure resorts reached by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, none excel in picturesque and varied beauty, and certainly none equal in legendary and historical association, the Catskill Mountains. Approaching within 10 miles of a great national highway, they have since the earliest days of the settlement of the country commanded the attention of HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 107 all the voyagers on the Hudson River. These mountains have a beauty and grandeur of their own, and have prob- ably been seen and admired, if not visited, by more travelers than any other mountain group on the American Continent. Many of the beauty spots of the Catskills appeal partic- ularly to the sentimental and poetic side of one's nature. There is very little that is practical and every day about this region, hence its peculiar charm for people of overworked bodies and tired brains. These lofty heights and towering cliffs, — these fertile plains and smiling valleys, awaken thoughts and conceptions far removed from the intruding cares and annoyances of our work-a-day world. That is medicine for the mind. That is what the tired city man and woman want. And oh, the breath of the Catskills! It invigorates. It infuses life. It inspires zeal. Two weeks of it will expand your lungs for the balance of the year. Summer hotels and boarding houses abound in every part of the mountains. Rates are reasonable and accommodations good, the man of modest means can probably get more for his money in the Catskills than anywhere else. In fact, as a rule, it is cheaper to board here than to live at home. While living is apparently cheap in the Catskills, it will prove dear in the long run unless you are sensible and make up your mind where to go before your Summer ward- robe is made, then, have your garments made roomy. In the fall they will fit nicely, for you will surely grow fat. In this way your tailor and modiste will not profit unduly by reason of your sojourn here. For excursion routes and rates see index.

Saratoga Springs. — Acknowledged the most popular and accessible of all American Spas, is the center each sea- son of the highest social, educational and political gather- ings. The broad piazzas of the vast hotels present a pan- orama of the best and most varied types of our leisurely classes reinforced by thousands of the affluent citizens of other lands. Primarily famous for its diverse medicinal waters it is still more popular with the world at large because of its constant gaiety and the peerless beauty of its environ- ment. Aside from the beautiful artificial features found in Congress Spring Park, and other improvements kind, the drives through Hilton Park and to Sara- toga Lake are always enjoyable. A highly inter- esting feature of Saratoga is "The Pompeia," an -J exact reproduction of the house of Pansa, buried by Vesuvius in the year 79. The building is over 180 feet long, and has already cost over $100,000. Ranging ^../;J, through the spacious halls, the visitor can follow in detail the life of a Roman noble from his worship before the Tern- ^JBtJ^! pie of Jove in the Forum to the utensils r 1 • 1 • 1 i • 1 SCH of his kitchen, or his pleasures repre- battle monument.

Enough exquisite work is displayed to warrant the belief that Saratoga's replica of the departed glories of Pompeii will become famous through the land. The hotels of Saratoga are among the largest and finest in the world ; the most noted being the United States, Grand Union, Windsor, Congress Hall, Kensington and Clarendon, while a host of smaller hotels and boarding-houses furnish excel- lent accommodation at from $7.00 to $25.00 per week.

M., and returning leaves Saratoga Mondays at 6 A. M. An elegant dining-car is attached to the south-bound train from Saratoga, serving breakfast immediately upon departure from the station.

SCHENECTADY LOCOMOTIVES VI /HE passenger engines are the most powerful and at the same time the fastest in the world. They haul the EMPIRE STATE EXPRESS and the other fast trains of the New York Central, and are the wonder of mechanical engineers everywhere. They are built by the Schenectady Locomotive Works. Schenectady, New York THE BARNEY-SMITH DINING CARS. CT7HE Dining and Buffet Cars, which add so much to the luxury of a journey via I the New York Central, and which are models of artistic car building, com- bining all the very latest devices for the convenience and comfort of the traveler, are built by the Barney-Smith Manufacturing Company of Dayton, Ohio. THE GILBERT PASSENGER COACHES. rHHE new Standard Passenger Coaches of the New York Central, with twelve- wheel trucks, high back seats, upholstered in the finest plush, large windows and enclosed lavatories, are believed to be the finest now in use on any railroad in the world. Some of these coaches are 70 feet long, with a seating capacity of 72 passengers. They are built by the Gilbert Manufacturing Company of Troy, N. Y. PINTSCH SYSTEM OF GAS LIGHTING. 'HE Pintsch System of Gas Lighting, recognized as the most perfect light, adopted by the great railways of America and Europe, gives a steady, soft yet brilliant light, free from offensive odors, enabling a person to read during the evening with perfect ease. It is undoubtedly the most satisfactory method of car illumination ever introduced. The gas is compressed and stored in reservoirs underneath the car. The Safety Car Heating and Lighting Company system of Heating by Hot Water Circulation from Steam is used on through trains and Palace Cars. GOULD COUPLER AND PLATFORM. CT7HE passenger coaches, sleeping, dining and buffet cars of the New York Central are all equipped with the Gould Coupler and Platform, which is con- sidered the strongest and safest device of its character in use, contributing largely to the safety of passenger trains. Built by the Gould Coupler Manufac- turing Company of Buffalo, N. Y. WAGNER PALACE CARS. T the beginning of the Summer season of 1892, all the through trains of the K _ New York Central will be equipped with new and magnificently-appointed Wagner Palace Cars, directly from the shops of that company, at Buffalo. They will contain all the latest and best improvements known to the car builders' art, and will be equipped with the Perfected Wagner Vestibule which, patented and used exclusively by the Wagner Palace Car Company, is superior in all respects to any othei form of vestibuling device No other company approaches the New York Central in the number, speed and elegance of its passenger trains Un ..America's vjreatesi ivaiiruuu^ WO HUNDRED and Eighty Years ago, after traversing the Hudson River from its mouth to Albany, and carefully noting the grandeur and beauty on either side of this magnificent highway ol nature, H end rick Hudsor wrote these words : "Ht is as beautiful a Ian* as- one can treat) upon.'
