C, VIA Pennsylvania Railroad, FOR the past four years the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has offered to the citizens of Boston and vicinity Christ- mas and Spring Holiday Tours to Washington. These tours have won the favor of all participants, for the reasons that the National Capital is a most attractive place to spend a few days of the winter and spring vacation ; they have been conducted in a most acceptable manner, and the expense has been so remark- ably light that every one could afford it. These pleasure jaunts have proven delightful experiences to those whose duties confine them at home for the greater portion of the year, and they have not been without their instructive, rec- reative features, which many were quick to take advantage of. For the coming holidays and the spring vacation, tours of exceptional attractiveness have been arranged. Many enjoyable (3) features will be included, and nothing will be left undone to make it a ''royally good time" for every participant. The party, under the escort of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon, will leave Boston, via Fall River Line, at 6.00 P. M., MONDAY, DECEMBER 28th, 1891, AND APRIL 4th, 1892, and connect at Jersey City on morning of December 29th and April 5th with the special train of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Eastlake Coaches, and will arrive in Philadelphia about noon. After several hours of sight-seeing in Philadelphia, dinner will be served at the handsome restaurant of the Broad Street Station at 2.00 P. M., leaving at 3.46 P. M. for Washington. An early hour of the evening will find the party beneath the shadow of the great white dome, where, without cost, both tourists and baggage will be transferred to the hotels, which will afford them accommodations until January ist and April 8th, 1892, respectively. The hotels selected are the Arlington, La Normandie, the Ebbitt, orWillards. The naming of either of these prominent hotels in- sures the very best of attention and comfort while temporarily domiciled under its roof. A special baggage-master will accompany the tour, for the benefit of those taking trunks or valises. Baggage should be checked through to Washington, and no charge will be made for transfer of same through New York. Checks will be collected on train, after which tourists need give themselves no further con- cern, for on reaching their rooms at hotel in Washington they will find that the baggage has preceded them. A particular feature of the Washington visit is the opportunity of attending President Harrison's reception at the White House. The exceptionally low rate of $25.00 includes, in addition to transportation, stateroom berth on steamer both ways, breakfast on steamer going, supper on steamer returning, transfer at Washing- 5 ton (betw^een station and hotel in botli directions), trip to Mt. Vernon, dinner at Philadelphia in both directions, and board at Washington at either of the previously-named hotels, from supper December 29th, 1891, or April 5th, until breakfast the following Friday inclusive ; in fact, all necessary expenses. The special train of Eastlake Coaches, returning January ist and April 8th, will stop at Philadelphia for dinner, and the party will reach Boston via Fall River Line, at 7.00 A. M. January 2d and April 9th. No better nor more appropriate method of spend- ing a short vacation could well be imagined, and the testimony of those who have traveled on these Pennsylvania Railroad per- sonally-conducted tours bears fitting evidence of their popularity. The National Capital. Washington, the seat of the general government, is the hand- somest city in America, and one of the most beautiful capitals of the world. Its location, on the banks of the Potomac River, sur- rounded by the protecting highlands of Maryland and Virginia, is picturesque ; and the arrangement of the streets and avenues, the grouping of the public buildings, the large number of handsome parks and squares, and the rich profusion of trees, flowers, and shrubbery in the public grounds, give to the city a distinctive beauty and attractiveness that place it far above all other cities in the land. The plan of the city was originally designed by a French engineer, and approved by General Washington ; but for many years the development was slow, the broad avenues were unadorned with buildings, and the skeleton of the present city, on account of the straggling nature of its improvements and the great gaps between its buildings, gained the sobriquet of "the city of magnificent distances "—a title bestowed in scorn by a sneering foreigner, but now turned into a designation of merit by the magnificence of the structures with which the "distances " are hedged. Within the last twenty years the city has developed rapidly. Millions of dollars have been appropriated by the Na- tional Government in improving and beautifying it, and with the millions more expended by private enterprise, the Capital reflects credit on the great people whose genius created and whose liber- ality fostered its unexampled growth. The public edifices command the admiration of the world. They were projected with the same regard for magnitude which charac- (6) terizes all the features of the Capital, and have been constructed and adorned with a hand as lavish in the expenditure of money as it is cunning in architectural skill and decorative genius. First, among all the buildings, is The Capitol. It is the largest and handsomest Government building on the face of the earth. The eminence, whose crest it surmounts, is many feet higher than the surrounding ground, and thus the im- mense proportions of the structure rise in majestic grandeur above the city. The edifice, constructed of white marble, is seven hundred and fifty-one feet long by three hundred and twenty-four feet broad, and the ground-plan covers three and one-half acres. The dome, whose apex is crowned by the bronze figure of the Goddess of Liberty, rises three hundred and ninety-seven feet above low tide in the Potomac, and those who climb to the summit will be rewarded with not only a splendid bird's-eye view of the city, but a magnifi- cent prospect over the hills and valleys of Virginia and Maryland. The main divisions of the building are the rotunda, the Senate chamber, and the hall of the House of Representatives, with the lesser chamber of the Supreme Court, Statuary Hall, the President's Room, the Marble Room, and the various apartments devoted to business purposes. Great porticos, supported by lofty columns, adorn both the east and west fronts. The grand stairways leading from the porticos to the pavement beneath are made to serve a great purpose in the decoration, and the most notable groups of allegorical statuary adorn the pediments and buttresses. The great bronze doors hang in the doorway leading from the grand portico to the rotunda. These are famous works of art, and their panels portray by figures in relief the principal events in the life of Columbus. The rotunda is an imposing apartment. Its encircling walls are embellished with paintings illustrative of the chief events in the history of America ; while the canopy, one hundred and eighty feet above the floor, is illumined with a series of allegorical groups 8 representing the progress of civilization. Statuary Hall contains a collection of statues of the prominent soldiers, jurists, or states- men of each State. The hall of Representatives in the south and the Senate chamber in the north wing are both magnificent rooms. The Marble Room and the President's Room, in the rear of the Senate chamber, are remarkably beautiful, both in architectural fmish and interior decoration. The Supreme Court room is notable as the judgment-seat of the highest tribunal in the land. It is open during the day. The justices, in their silken gowns, and the digni- fied air which pervades the whole apartment, make the visitor feel that he is in the august presence of personified justice. Grand stairways lead from the several stories of the building, all of which bear striking decorations. The corridors and ceilings are celebrated tor the frescoes with which they are illuminated ; and, in fact, the entire building is stored with treasures of brush and chisel, which command the attention and compel the admiration of even the most careless sightseer. The Capitol Park contains about fifty acres. It is planted in handsome trees, ornamented with parterres of flowers, and laid out in broad walks. Fountains throw up wreaths of silver spray, and magnificent lamps combine utility with beauty. Notable stat- ues in the Capitol grounds are the colossal statue of Washington, in the east park, and the heroic bronze statue of Chief Justice John Marshall, at the foot of the staircase of the west portico. The Capitol is open every day except Sunday. During sessions of Congress the public galleries of both Senate and House are open to visitors. Business commences at noon of each day and con- tinues until late in the afternoon. THE Executive Mansion, popularly known as the White House, is located on Pennsylvania Avenue, the grand boulevard of the city, above Fifteenth Street. The building is one hundred and seventy by eighty-six feet, built of free-stone painted white, two stories high, with high porticos on the north and south fronts. The grounds are extensive, stretching to Pennsylvania Avenue on the north, and to the Washington Monu- ment and river on the south. The East Room, Blue Room, and State Dining-Room, all handsomely furnished, and ornamented with portraits of the presidents and their wives, are open to public inspection. In the Blue Room the public and private receptions are held. The conservatories contain a large collection of rare plants and beautiful flowers. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT is a large and imposing granite structure, situated on Pennsylvania Avenue and Fifteenth Street, adjoining the President's grounds. It is the great storehouse of the nation's money. The oiflce of the Secretary of the Treasury is a very handsome apartment. The cash-room is not only a beautiful, but a very fascinating chamber, as within the walls all the coin and currency of the country are handled. Visitors are admitted to the gallery. The strong boxes or vaults, and the redemption division, where worn-out and dis- abled currency is counted and canceled, may be visited on a permit from the Secretary of the Treasury. Visitors admitted 9 A. M. to 2 P. M. THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, although under control of the Secretary of the Treasury, occupies a separate building on the Mall south of the Treasury, near the Washington Monument. The process of engraving and printing the notes and bonds may be seen here. Visitors admitted 9 A. M. to 2 P. M. The State Department. The immense building, rising five stories above the street, and surmounted by a mansard roof, which bounds the President's 10 grounds on the west, is devoted to the State, War, and Navy Departments. It is one of the newest of the public edifices, as well as one of the finest. The architecture of the building is much ad- mired, as it represents an effective blending of the ancient with the modern. The Department of State occupies the southern wing. The interior decoration of the apartments is very elegant— the handsomest being the suite used by the Secretary of State and his assistants, and the diplomatic reception-room. The Library, in the third story, contains a magnificent collection of works re- lating to statecraft. It also contains the original draft of the Dec- laration of Independence, and the desk upon which it was written ; General Washington's sword, and his commission as commander- in-chief; and various other relics of historical value; the original rolls of the law, the treaties, and other documents relating to the consular and diplomatic service of the Government. Open from 9 A. M. to 2 P. M. every day. THE WAR DEPARTMENT. The north wing of this building furnishes the quarters of the War Department. It contains the headquarters of the Army and the office of the Secretary of War, with their administrative bu- reaus. A very interesting collection of the portraits of distin- guished generals will be found in the Army Headquarters and the apartments of the Secretary. The most interesting feature of the War Department to the general visitor is the Ordnance Museum, in the Winder building, just across Seventeenth Street, opposite the Department proper. This annex contains the records and archives relating to the late war. The flag-room formerly contained a col- lection of battle-torn and bullet-riddled flags used on both sides in the war, an exhibit of arms and accoutrements large and interesting, and some very old pieces of ordnance shown side by side with the examples of latest invention. These will now be found in- the National Museum (see pages 12 and 13). Open 9 A. M. to 2 P. M. II The Navy Department. This department occupies the south half of the east wing of the main building. The oflfices of the Secretary of the Navy and his assistants are strikingly handsome. The library is also noticeable for the style of its decoration. The Hydrographic Office, contain- ing the largest chart printing press in the United States, is located here, as is also the office of the Nautical Almanac. The grand stairways leading from attic to basement are wonderful pieces of workmanship. All the guns for the new cruisers are manufactured here. Open 7 A. M. to 5 P. M. THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. The principal branches of the Interior Department are patents and pensions. The Patent Office is an immense pile of granite covering two squares, extending from Seventh Street to Ninth, and F to G. The building is one of the handsomest of all the public offices, and is excellently arranged. The chief interest attaches to the museum of models, in which there is a model of every machine or device ever patented in the United States. An interesting relic to be seen here is the original printing press used by Benjamin Franklin. Open 9 A. M. to 2 P. M. The Pension Office. The Pension building was dedicated to public uses on the 4th of March, 1885, when the grand ball in honor of the inauguration of President Cleveland was held within its spacious walls. It is the latest acquisition to the number of public buildings, and differs from the others in its simplicity as well as in the materials used — brick, terra-cotta, and iron. It is a very large structure, covering two-acres, and three stories in height. The enormous business of the Pension Office is transacted in its numerous offices. 12 The Post-Office Department. The general Post-Oifice building is located on F Street, just opposite the Patent Office. It is an imposing granite building of the Corinthian style of architecture. One can get a very good idea of how the vast business of the Post-Office is conducted, and may also visit the Dead-Letter Office on a permit from the Post- master-General or his chief clerk. A number of objects of interest may be seen, among others the book of accounts kept by Benjamin Franklin, first Postmaster-General of the Colonies. Open 9 A. M. to 2 P. M. THE Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian building is the most picturesque structure in the Capital. It is built of red freestone, of Norman architecture, and is overtopped by towers and turrets of varying styles and heights. The surrounding grounds embrace about fifty acres, beautifully laid out in walks, drives, and flower-beds, and planted in one hundred and fifty varieties of trees. The institution was founded and endowed by James Smithson, an Englishman, for the ''increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." It contains many valuable scientific specimens, which will prove very inter- esting to the visitor. A bronze statue of Professor Joseph Henry, first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, stands a short dis- tance north of the building. Open 9 A. M. to 4 P. M. The National Museum. The National Museum building is a very beautiful structure, of a pleasing order of architecture, situated in the Smithsonian grounds. It is one of the most attractive buildings in the city, as it contains a vast collection of objects of recognized interest to every one. The collection includes specimens of pottery, ceram- ics, and textiles drawn from all quarters of the globe and repre- senting all stages of civilization. The ethnological, metallurgical. 13 and geological exhibition is large and complete ; a rare collection of fossils, mammals, insects, and antiquities ; a materia medica and food exhibit; and an extensive range of specimens of boats, cos- tumes, and implements relating to fisheries form a part of the enor- mous display of instructive objects. The United States Centennial exhibit, the domestic relics of General Washington, donations to the United States by foreign governments, and trophies of all the United States exploring expeditions are also kept here. By no means the least interesting of the exhibits are many battle-torn flags, relics of the late war. Open 9 A. M. to 4 P. M. THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. Directly west of the Smithsonian are the grounds and building of the Department of Agriculture. The grounds are laid out with a view to the combination of beauty with utility, as the collection of plants embraces sixteen hundred varieties. The experimental grounds cover about ten acres. The museum, within the building, shows a complete exhibition of the agricultural, horticultural, pomo- logical, and botanical productions of the country. There is also a large number of miscellaneous specimens ; and the entomological department is complete. On the west of the main building are the plant-houses, devoted to plants and shrubs of tropical growth. Open 9 A. M. to 4 P. M. THE Fish commission. The building occupied by the Fish Commission is situated at the northwest corner of Sixth and B Streets. It affords illus- trations of fish-hatching stations, models of fish-ways, and the appliances used in the hatching and distribution of fish. The aquarium also contains some fine specimens of fish. The carp- ponds for the propagation of carp and other varieties of the finny family are situated near the Washington Monument, where may also be seen a magnificent display of aquatic plants. u The Naval Observatory. This is one of the foremost astronomical establishments of the world. It is situated at the foot of Twenty-fourth Street, on the banks of the Potomac. The chronometer-room contains all the chronometers used in the navy, as well as the apparatus which regulates the standard time of the country. The astronomical in- struments are numerous — the chief one being the great equatorial, one of the largest telescopes in the world. Visitors are admitted freely by day, but the number of night visitors is restricted by reason of interference with astronomical work. The army Medical Museum. The Army Medical Museum is located in the new Medical Library building in the Smithsonian grounds, near the National Museum. The museum contains a large variety of models, bones, &c., illustrating the effects of gunshot wounds and other accidents of war. Open 9 A. M. to 4 P. M. THE BOTANICAL GARDENS are situated on Pennsylvania Avenue, and at the western base of Capitol Hill. The grounds comprise ten acres, and are adorned with trees and shrubs of every clime. The conservatory contains a rare collection of tropical plants. THE BARRACKS, located on the southernmost point of land in the city, at the foot of Four and One-half Street, presents the destination for a pleas- ant drive, and is connected with many historical associations. The old Penitentiary, rendered famous by the prominent part it played in the assassination trials, stands here. Under one of its cells the body of Booth was for some time buried. It was formerly known 15 as the Arsenal, and was then the storehouse of the Government's ammunition. Guard mount daily at 9 A. M. Navy Yard. Open 7 A. M. to 5 P. M. Very little work of construction is done at the Navy Yard at present, but the big guns receive there a final test, and a visit cannot fail to be interesting. THE Corcoran Gallery of art. Though not a public institution, in the sense of being under the patronage of the Government, the Corcoran Art Gallery is one of the most interesting institutions of Washington. It stands on Pennsylvania Avenue, at the corner of Seventeenth Street. It was the free gift to the public of that eminent philanthropist, the late William W. Corcoran. The collection of paintings, sculpture, and bronzes is very large, embracing the works of some of the most eminent artists of the world. Free admission is granted on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M. THE Monuments of the Capital. The monuments of the Capital constitute a collection of memo- rial tributes in marble and bronze unsurpassed in the world. First, among all, is The Washington Monument, situated on the crest of a slight em- inence in the open grounds to the south of the Executive Man- sion. It is a plain granite shaft or obelisk, rising to the height of five hundred and fifty-five feet, and is the loftiest memorial shaft now in existence. The interior is fitted with an iron stairway of nine hundred steps, and a passenger elevator running every half hour from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M., by which the ascent may be made. A magnificent view is outspread from the summit on a clear day. Equestrian Statue of IVashngton, by Clark Mills, Washington Cir- cle, Twenty-third Street West, at the intersection of Pennsylvania i6 and New Hampshire Avenues. Cast from guns donated by Congress.

Bronze Statue of Martin Luther, Luther Place, near Thomas Circle. Bronze Statue of President Garfield, Maryland Avenue, southwest base of Capitol Park. Each one of these statues forms the central feature of the park, square, or circle in which it stands. The Suburbs of Washington. Georgetown, or West Washington, is separated from tlie main city by Rocl^ Creek. It is a pretty section of tlie metropolis, and from its heights many picturesque views of the Potomac and the Capital may be enjoyed. Oak Hill Cemetery, one of the most beautiful cities of the dead in the country, is located here. ARLINGTON, formerly the home of the Lees, is situated on the Virginia shore of the Potomac, on high ground, commanding an extensive view in every direction. The mansion is a grand example of the home- stead of an old Virginia family. The grounds are now dedicated to the purposes of a national cemetery, which contains the ashes of sixteen thousand soldiers. The road to Arlington leads over the Aqueduct Bridge (so called from the fact that it supports the pipes of the city's water supply), and by Fort Meyer, the only garrisoned post in the vicinity of the Capital. GREAT FALLS OF THE POTOMAC. An excursion to this point is one of the pleasantest to be enjoyed in the environs of Washington. The drive leads through the most (17) i8 aristocratic portion of the city and suburbs, as well as the most picturesque portion of the surrounding country. The city reservoir is passed en route. Soldiers' home. The Soldiers' Home affords another beautiful drive. The build- ings are solid and substantial, and the park one of the handsomest in the country. A magnificent view of the city and its surround- ings may be enjoyed from the heights about the Soldiers' Home. A large number of veterans fmd a home within its gates. It has been the favorite summer resort of some of the Presidents. MOUNT Vernon. No trip to Washington is complete unless it is extended to Mount Vernon, the home of the Father of his Country. The man- sion is located on the banks of the Potomac, fifteen miles from Washington. It is built of wood, and under the fostering care of the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association it remains, in all its appoint- ments, just as it was when occupied by General Washington. The tomb is on the way from the landing to the house. The trip down the river is very interesting. The quaint old town of Alexandria, Fort Foote, and Fort Washington may be seen from the deck of the steamer. This side-trip, included in the tour, will prove a very attractive feature. The wharf of steamer for Mount Vernon is readily reached by street cars. The foregoing sketch embraces the principal points of interest in and around the National Capital, Others there are which could not be noticed in such a bare outline. They will, however, suggest themselves or be in some way brought to the attention of the visitor. Many days may be passed in visiting the attractive places, all of which are inseparably connected with the history 19 of the Republic, and the visitor will conclude his tour a wiser citizen and a prouder American. All these points will be visited by the party in detail, but an excellent bird's-eye view of the whole city, the parks, avenues, and Government Buildings will be obtained from the drive, which will start from the hotels and take direction along Pennsylvania Avenue, by the Treasury, through the grounds of the Executive Mansion, around Lafayette Square, out Connecticut Avenue, and around Dupont Circle, down Massachusetts and Vermont and other avenues, passing a number of parks and squares, the Cap- itol, the Botanical Gardens, The Mall, and back through the Pres- ident's Park, to starting point. This drive covers the most at- tractive portion of the city, passing by the majority of the hand- some residences of statesmen, soldiers, and jurists, as well as the majority of the public edifices and the mansions of the foreign ministers. These buildings will be pointed out to the tourists by the attending guides. APPLICATIONS FOR TICKETS.
