INTRODUCTORY 
 
 This Special High-class Summer Party has been organized under the arrangements 
 of the well-known Tourist Agents, Henry Gaze & Sons, 113 Broadway, New York, London, 
 Rome, etc., with a view to enable Ladies and Gentlemen who may be acquainted with one 
 another, in Brooklyn and other points, to take a Summer Outing under especially-favorable 
 conditions, not usually obtainable in the ordinary vacation parties which are regularly organ- 
 ized every Summer. 
 
 The tour has been carefully planned, with a view to giving the intending passengers a 
 healthful and instructive Summer Vacation among some of the most-interesting and historic 
 cities of Europe, and at the lowest rates practicable for carrying out the tour on lines combin- 
 ing comfort and a certain amount of exclusiveness. Messrs. Gaze & Sons — who have made a 
 special study of the organization of select parties of individuals who do not wish to work a 
 tour out under difficulties — have been instructed to make special arrangements for this high= 
 class vacation party, and no pains have been spared to anticipate all possible contingencies, 
 with a view to render the carrying out of the tour perfectly successful in every respect. 
 
 The ocean travel will be first-class — traveling by an Anchor Liner. The railroad travel 
 in Great Britain being cushion-seated observation cars — for all practical purposes as comfort- 
 able as the English " first," and less expensive (second-class does not exist on many railways in 
 Great Britain); while all the railroad traveling on the Continent in Europe will be second-class 
 throughout. 
 
 The following are Some, among Many, Advantages of Conducted Tours : 
 
 PLAN OF TRAVEL. Long experience and an intimate knowledge of nearly every part of the 
 world, enable Messrs. Gaze & Sons to arrange a round of travel in the most-advantageous manner, so 
 as to secure the largest amount of satisfaction derivable from the tour, and to allot the necessary time 
 for visiting the sights at the principal places of interest, in order not to have insufficient time in one 
 city and a needlessly-lengthened stay in another. 
 
 INCLUSIVE CHARGES. It is no slight advantage to know almost exactly the sum necessary 
 for any given tour, including hotel, travel, entrance fees to sights, douceurs at hotels,, omnibuses, 
 carriage drives, and the numerous incidentals which are constantly occurring. These being distinctly 
 specified and included, enable the traveler to form a correct estimate of his outlay ; whereas those act- 
 ing independently often find the cost of a tour beyond what they had anticipated. The annoyances 
 arising from the adjustment of hotel accounts, and perpetual demands for petty expenses, are also 
 entirely avoided by this system. 
 
 ASSOCIATION. The number of persons in each excursion is strictly limited, so that all may 
 receive personal attention ; and in each party there are sure to be found kindred spirits, with whom it 
 will be agreeable to associate, while those who prefer more-independent action have the fullest free- 
 dom. Perfect liberty of action can be enjoyed or there is pleasant association for those who desire it. 
 
 EUROPEAN CONDUCTOR. Messrs. Gaze's traveling staff, who escort these excursions, have 
 been carefully selected. Thev are not " couriers," but gentlemen of sufficient education and culture 
 to be able to afford valuable information and to deal with difficulties ; while their long experience and 
 intimate acquaintance with the routes enable them to be of very-great service to those who accompany 
 the party. 
 
 The conductors are pleased to give special attention to ladies traveling alone, so that ladies unac- 
 companied by gentlemen need not hesitate about joining these excursions. 
 
 A short experience will suffice to convince the most -incredulous that this system of travel enables 
 one to see far more than could be accomplished by independent action, and at considerably-less cost ; 
 while the freedom from most of the troubles incident to travel, secured by the conductor's services, 
 and the relief from unceasing demands for petty expenses, greatly enhance the pleasure of travel. 
 Messrs. Gaze & Sons hold large numbers of testimonials which prove these statements beyond doubt. 
 
4 OjPl^EI'S TOURS, 
 
 The routes are through the most-attractive parts of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England, France 
 and Belgium, etc., offering a most-agreeable variety of scenery as well as an opportunity to visit the 
 great cities of Edinburgh, Dublin, London, Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, etc. The lover of magnificent 
 scenery and pleasing landscape, the antiquarian, the artist, the student of natural history and the 
 pleasure-seeker will alike have opportunity to gratify their inclinations. And what can be so attractive 
 as a vacation among old European cities, connected, as they are, with the most-stirring events in the 
 history of the world ? Every foot of the journey in Europe will be over historic ground. Roman 
 antiquities ; massive Roman walls built by the Caesars, and defying time and decay ; the battlefield of 
 Waterloo ; the marks of bloody French revolutions ; the Tower of London ; Westminster Abbey, the 
 last resting place of renowned Kings and Queens of England ; the scenes of the eventful struggle for 
 liberty in the Netherlands. These, and much more, lie in the pathway of these excursions. 
 
 To those in need of rest and recreation too long deferred, particular attention is called to the new 
 and delightful experience of a voyage across the Atlantic. The best possible opportunities are offered 
 for recreation and enjoyment. During the day such games may be participated in on deck, as shuffle- 
 board or quoits, or the traveler may enjoy the comforts of a steamer chair while studying the ever- 
 changing phases of the ocean. The evenings may be spent in the music room or in the grand saloon, 
 where chess, draughts, and pleasant conversation will serve to while away the time most agreeably. 
 The time spent on the voyage is never dull or tedious. Numbers of flying-fish are seen skimming 
 over the surface of the water, and porpoises plunging through the waves, while the festive whale 
 spouts for the entertainment of the voyagers. 
 
 STEAMSHIP ACCOMMODATION. Some of the very-best rooms have been reserved for these 
 excursions, and the best berths and rooms will of course be allotted to the early depositors. 
 
 These prices include regular first-class accommodation, but any desiring superior accommodation 
 may pay $5 to $15 extra each way, in addition to the prices named, if desired. 
 
 WHAT IS INCLUDED. It should be clearly understood that while the rate charged is moderate, 
 every detail will be carried out upon the most-liberal scale. The Atlantic steamer accommodation is 
 of the finest, the hotels entirely satisfactory — indeed, special care will be exercised in this respect. The 
 railway travel in Great Britain will be as comfortable as the regular travel on American railroads. 
 Carriage drives will be included wherever specified in certain chief cities, and all necessary expense 
 will be covered by the contractors. Of course exceptions must be made for laundry bills and other 
 extras, as well as the steamship steward's fee, which will have to be paid independently by the traveler, 
 as they are so very personal and cannot be included. All ordinary fees will be included, such as fees for 
 sightseeing, entrance fees to places mentioned, as included, porterage on heavy baggage and expenses 
 on all checked baggage, up to the amount included in the programme ; Messrs. Henry Gaze & Sons* 
 conductor being specially engaged to relieve the members of the party of all trouble in this respect. 
 Fifty pounds of luggage will be carried free throughout the entire trip from Great Britain to Rome, 
 and between New York and Great Britain one hundred pounds of luggage will be carried free by the 
 contractors.. Such being the case, $30 or $50 for petty expenses and purchases, or extending one's stay 
 abroad, will be more than ample. 
 
 DEPOSITS. To secure membership and a choice of berths, immediate application to be recom- 
 mended, as no berths can be secured until the deposit of $25 is made, and berths on the steamers will 
 be allotted strictly to priority of registration. On receipt of deposit, advice will be sent by return 
 mail, and as soon as practicable a plan of the steamer showing location of the berth or state room will 
 be sent, as this special party is arranged some months in advance, and modifications might be possible 
 in the interest of the party. All baggage should be plainly marked with the owner's name, and tags 
 for the purpose will be specially provided free of expense. 
 
 SPECIAL NOTE. Members of the party are cautioned, in their own interest, to look after their 
 small hand baggage, as there is sometimes delay in the arrival of the checked baggage at hotels, which 
 is liable in some instances to cause individual inconvenience. 
 
 DIFFERENT SECTIONS. Although this high-class vacation trip has been arranged to take in 
 the Continent of Europe to Rome, with a view to enable friends of members of the party who may not 
 have sufficient time to take the entire tour, and yet be desirous of joining this special high-class party 
 for the early stages of the tour, to still join the party under the superintendence of the Rev. Dr. Louis 
 Albert Banks, special arrangements have been made to enable members of the party to limit the trip 
 to certain stages of the journey, returning one or two weeks earlier, as the case may be. ( For further 
 details see programme.) 
 
 Special side trips and deviations from the regular tours can be arranged on favorable terms on 
 giving due notice, and having the tickets issued stamped and dated accordingly ; but the re-arrange- 
 
G-jPlZE'S TOURS, 5 
 
 ment of the book of tickets for this special tour is not practicable after all the arrangements have been 
 made and all the accommodation ordered, as it must be obvious that for the successful carrying out of 
 a high-class party, pre-arrangement is necessary ; and this cannot well be upset at short notice, 
 
 HOTELS, SIGHTSEEING AND CONDUCTOR. Hotel accomodation, consisting of two sub- 
 stantial meals each day, is included in the arrangement. Light refreshments can be purchased at 
 noon, en route. The arrangements for sightseeing will be most-complete. The rooms at the various 
 hotels will also be reserved in advance: assignments made and baggage checked from the room in one 
 hotel direct through to the room in the next ; the time of departure for the various journeys officially 
 announced — thus giving various members of this high-class vacation party freedom from care, and at 
 the same time entire independence of action wherever individuals desire, 
 
 YOU CAN STAY LONGER. Any of the company who have leisure and prefer to remain 
 over in Paris or London can do so, as the tickets are available for a year, and the extra expense for 
 hotel accomodation would be known beforehand. Messrs. Gaze's Continental hotel coupons call for 
 $14,70 for a week's board of two meals, and British hotel coupons $17,15 for the same period, (For 
 particulars see Messrs. Gaze's List, to be had of the conductor.) 
 
 MINOR DETAILS. Printed envelopes (addressed care Messrs. Henry Gaze & Sons' London, 
 Chief Office) will be provided specially printed for this party to be left for the use of friends at home, 
 who will also be advised by postal card, if desired, of the safe arrival of the steamer at Ireland, 
 
 REQUISITES. Plenty of warm wraps for the steamer, overcoats, lap robe and flannel under., 
 clothing. Such as are not required can be left on the steamer, and will be stored by the steamship 
 company for the return voyage. Ordinary summer clothing, with both light and heavy underclothing. 
 Two changes are sufficient. One good pair of shoes ; an extra pair if you wish it ; but they are 
 hardly needed. Take with you a good fountain pen, ink and filler. For ladies, two dresses are suffi . 
 cient, woolen or soft material. 
 
 JUST BEFORE SAILING a souvenir list of the party will be printed and mailed to each member 
 of the party. 
 
 NOTICE. — Ladies and gentlemen zvishing to join these excursions, bat who may prefer some other line of 
 steamers, may he accommodated, and berths (at proportionate rates) can be reserved on steamer selected. 
 
 NOTICE. Ladies and gentlemen, and young ladies unaccompanied, who may be desirous of 
 joining this Special High-class Vacation Party are requested to apply either direct to Messrs. Henry 
 Gaze & Sons, 113 Broadway, New York, or to the Rev. Dr. Louis Albert Banks, 11 Hanson Place, 
 Brooklyn, N. Y., who has kindly consented to furnish information as to the contemplated special 
 arrangements for this party, which will be carried out under his supervision,

 July 17 (Wednesday). 
 
 Morning sendee will be taken, and the party will proceed by the London & North=Western 
 Railway fast-express service by the North Wall to Holyhead and Wales, passing in full view 
 of Conway Castle, and traveling via Chester to Birmingham, one of the princely cities of 
 England ; the accommodation being furnished for this special party at the sumptuously-appointed 
 Grand Hotel, admittedly one of the finest of the palace hotels in England. After dinner, which 
 will be served in the grand saloon, the evening may be devoted to promenades, shopping, and the 
 interesting street life of this densely-populated city. 
 
 July 18 (Thursday). 
 
 At the appointed time the journey will be resumed, and the party will proceed by the same 
 comfortably-appointed cars via Peterborough and Ely to Parkestone. Should no alteration be 
 made in the train service, it is proposed to arrange for all of the company who may desire to stop 
 over to visit Peterborough Cathedral or Ely Cathedral. This privilege will be greatly enjoyed 
 by the members of the party, and can be accomplished without fatigue, the necessary incidental 
 expenses connected therewith being defrayed by the contractors. Dinner will be served at the 
 Great Eastern Railway Co's excellently-appointed hotel on Parkstone Quay before embarkation, 
 and, proceeding by one of the luxuriously-appointed channel steamers of this famous Continental 
 service, Antwerp will be reached on the morning of 
 
 July 19 (Friday). 
 
 In the discretion of the conductor, or as Dr. Banks may think well, breakfast may possibly 
 be served in the saloon on the steamer while going up the river before reaching Antwerp, in order 
 that the whole of the time on arrival may be available for inspecting the principal points of 
 ecclesiastical and art interest in this ancient city. It is not necessary to mention all the points 
 within the scope of this programme, as all will receive attention. Open conveyances will be 
 obtained, and a drive will be taken around the boulevards to the Museum with Ruben's famous 
 paintings, to the Cathedral and other points, continuing later in the day by evening train to 
 Brussels, where dinner will be ready on arrival at the Grand Hotel de l'Empereur, conveniently 
 situated within three minutes of the railroad depot. After dinner, an enjoyable evening may be 
 spent promenading on the grand boulevards, or in visiting the Galleries of St. Hubert, beau- 
 tifully-lighted Anspach Boulevard, etc., etc. 
 
 July 20 (Saturday). 
 
 The whole of this day will be available for a round of sightseeing of surpassing interest. 
 The majority of vacation parties notoriously rush through the capital city of Belgium, and it has 
 been thought desirable to arrange for the party to inspect leisurely the various points of interest. 
 The Wiertz Museum, a marvelous collection of pictures unrivaled and unique ; the famous 
 Royal Huseums of Brussels; the beautiful Palais de Justice, one of the grandest piles in 
 Europe ; the Royal Palace, the Park and Botanical Gardens will all receive attention. The 
 battlefield of Waterloo is a few miles distant from Brussels, and can be visited independently at a 
 trifling expense. For full details apply to the conductor. 
 
 July 21 (Sunday). 
 
 A day of rest in this beautiful city, justly named the " Paris of Belgium." Notre Dame de 
 Sablon, and the Cathedral of St. Gudule, with its wonderfully-carved pulpit will demand 
 attention. Full information as to the hours of divine service will be obtainable from Messrs. 
 Gaze's conductor. 
 July 22 (Monday). 
 
 Short Section to Paris. (Seepage^.) 
 
 By early morning train the journey will be resumed, and the party will proceed through the 
 beautiful Mountain District, via Aix=la=Chapelle to Cologne, which will be reached in the early 
 afternoon. Leaving the whole of the hand baggage in charge of Messrs. Gaze & Sons' represent- 
 atives at Cologne, a promenade will at once be organized to take in the flagnificent Cathedral, 
 one of the highest buildings on earth. This is the most -magnificent Gothic edifice in Europe : 
 444 feet long, 201 feet wide ; height of towers 512 feet- being the loftiest church tower in Europe 
 Many thousands can attend divine worship in this magnificent structure at one time. The neces- 
 sary fees will be paid to enable this party to inspect the Choir Chapels with the famous Dom- 
 bild, also the Treasury containing the Shrine of the Holy Three Kings— Melchior, Gaspar and 
 
8 GAZE'S TOTJKS. 
 
 Bathazar — whose embalmed remains, originally brought from the Holy Land to Milan, were 
 afterward transported to this cathedral. The members of the party will be greatly interested to 
 inspect at leisure the 1440 precious stones which stud this wonderful shrine. Among the 
 numerous treasures which will be opened to the inspection of this party is the Shrine of St. 
 Engelbert. Some of the chains with which St. Peter is said to have been fastened in prison, 
 and portion of the original stick said to have been used by St. Peter, and other remarkable 
 relics will be inspected. Care will be taken that the party is escorted by a duly =qualified guide 
 through the sacred edifice, in order that the visit may be alike profitable and instructive. Time 
 will also be devoted to the Church of St. Ursula, and the necessary fees paid for inspecting the 
 interior of the Treasury containing many other special treasures, and the broken alabaster 
 amphora, said to have been used at the marriage feast of Cana of Galilee. The authorities 
 profess to preserve here some of the thorns from the crown of Christ. These and man}- other 
 extraordinay relics will be accessible to the party. The bridge of boats across the Rhine can 
 be inspected, and after dinner a promenade taken along the new boulevard. It is proposed to 
 reserve accommodation at the newly-decorated and excellently-managed Grand Hotel Victoria, 
 conveniently situated near the Rhine. 
 
 July 23 (Tuesday). 
 
 Proceeding by early morning steamer, the journey will be taken by the Rhine to flayence. 
 This is a day long to be remembered. Seated upon the deck of a magnificently appointed saloon 
 steamer, with a map of the legends of the Rhine in hand, the dream of a lifetime is more than 
 realizad by the grand panorama, ever changing, ever varying, which is continually unfolded 
 to the visitor. Ruined castles crown the hilltops on either side flanking the Rhine, and tell- 
 ing of medieeval history. As the steamer makes her way hour by hour, vine-clad hills succeed 
 each other, revealing new beauty at every turn. As this day's ride is rather long, dinner will be 
 served on the steamer and a light meal on arrival at Mainz. The party will stay at the 
 Palatial hotel du Rhine, beautifully situated facing the river. 
 
 July 24 (Wednesday). 
 
 There will be time before breakfast, for those who care, to visit independently the ancient 
 cathedral, which is within a few-minutes walk of the hotel ; proceeding afterward by morning 
 train to Heidelburg direct. On arrival, open carriages will be provided for ascending the hill to 
 visit the celebrated old castle— the most-magnificent ruin in Germany; continuing by this after- 
 noon train to Baden=Baden. This is one of the most-popular watering places in Europe, and 
 is visited by upward of 50,000 people annually. The best band in Europe plays at the even= 
 ing concert in the famous Kursaal Garden. Tickets for this concert will be furnished free of 
 expense to the party. The walks in all directions iii the gardens are delightful. Accommodation 
 will be reserved at the hotel Stadt Baden. 
 
 July 25 (Thursday). 
 
 By convenient morning train the toiir will be continued, and the party will proceed by the far- 
 famed Schwarzwald Bahn route through the Black Forest. This railway, which was opened in 
 1S73, in point of scenery and construction, is one of the most-striking in Germany. The pictur- 
 es me views of villages nestling in the hillsides, the quaint costumes of the peasantry so peculiar, 
 the railway running mile after mile, mile after mile, along the hillside and parallel with the high- 
 way; the numerous tunnels, viaducts and bridges revealing ever and anon new phases of beauty, 
 form together a background of rare interest and excitement. In the evening, Schaffhausen is 
 reached, the Swiss frontier passed; and the railroad crosses right over the falls, affording a magni- 
 ficent view of the Falls of the Rhine; continuing by the same route over to Zurich, which is 
 reached in the early evening. Dinner will be served at the Zurcherhof, an excellent hotel, con- 
 venientlv situated within a few yards of the Lake of Zurich. 
 
 flu Ifl 2(i (Friday). 
 
 After early breakfast, the Cathedral, so intimately connected with Luther and Zwingli (the 
 reformers), will claim attention, while the beautiful city, built on the fringe of the lake and on both 
 sides of two rivers, will be much admired. Starting at the appointed time, the tour is continued 
 to the Lake of Zug, which will be crossed by lake steamer to Arth, where the Mountain Railway 
 will be taken for the ascent of the Righi. Every moment of this day's journey is one unbroken 
 revelation of beauty. Should the weather be propitious, language fails to convey any adequate 
 idea of the sublimity of the scene. The view from the mountain commands 300 miles in cinmm- 
 fereuce. Thirteen lakes lie dotted here and there in the plains at the spectator's feet, while in 
 the distance a stupendous chain of snow mountains, 120 miles in length, can be seen, forming an 
 
GtjPlZE'S TOURS. 9 
 
 awe-inspiring background, later descending the Righi on the opposite side to Vitznau. Here 
 saloon lake steamer will be taken for a sail on the beautiful Lake of the Four Cantons to the 
 paradise of the world, Lucerne, which is reached in the early evening. Accommodation will be 
 reserved at the Grand Hotel Beau Rivage, Hotel des Balances, or other high-class hotel.

 . The whole of this day will be available for Lucerne. This evening, a magnificent concert 
 will be given on the grand organ, in the Cathedral— tickets of admission being furnished free 
 of expense to every member of this party. Visits will be made to the Monumental Bridges; 
 a mountain railway ride will be taken up the Gutsch, and the wonderful Glacier Garden will be 
 carefully examined and explained to the party— the additional fees being included in the pro- 
 gramme. The stay at Lucerne will enable the visitor to study many interesting objects: the 
 emerald-green Reuss, rushing from the lake ; the magnificent Quay, with its avenue of trees ; the 
 quaintly-picturesque houses of the old village of Lucerne, etc. Historical events and mythical 
 traditions crowd together with the banks of Lucerne. Any of the company, who might prefer to 
 do so, could take a steamer to Tell's Chapel or Mt. Pilatus ( 6998 feet).

 Loeverz, the Lake of Fluelen, past Tell's Chapel and traversing the St. Qothard Tunnel, 
 passing in full view of Lake flaggiore, Lake Lugano and beautiful Lake Como, and reaches 
 Milan for table d'hote. Accommodation will be reserved at the Hotel Grande Bretagne — an ex- 
 tremely well-managed and newly-decorated hotel. After dinner, the evening may be spent in the

 Any of the company who wish to break the journey at Verona to see the points connected with 
 Romeo and Juliet, must give notice to the conductor, in order that the tickets may be arranged 
 accordingly. The party will stay in Venice at the Grand Hotel— a sumptuously -decorated pile, 
 standing on the Grand Canal. 
 
 'lull/ 31 (Wednesday). 
 
 The evening of Tuesday, the whole of Wednesday and the early morning of Thursday will be 
 spent in Venice, the "Queen of the Adriatic." Gondolas will be provided free of expense to the 
 part}-, for visiting the Grand Canal and interesting points without loss of time. The Doge's 
 Palace, the Bridge of Sighs, St. Mark's Square and the Cathedral with the wonderful Palla 
 d'Oro, will be inspected ; 1400 jewels are studded into the Palla, which was brought from the 
 East. The fees will be paid to enable it to be uncovered for the inspection of the party.

 the Royal Park to the doors of the 
 
 built in 168S by Louis XIV. for Marie de Maiutenou. 
 The apartments of Napoleon I. and those prepared in 
 1S46 for Queen Victoria are interesting. Now walking

 Tuesday Afternoon. 
 
 THE PALACE OF VERSAILLES is next visited (two- 
 minutes walk). It was originally a hunting chateau of 
 Louis XIII., and was made by Louis XIV. the Palace of 
 the Kings of France. The chapel is first visited: it con- 
 tains little of interest except the gorgeously-decorated 
 ceiling. The first floor is gamed by a little staircase 
 adjoining the entrance to the Chapel. We visit first the 
 Salles de Constantiue, dedicated almost entirely to the 
 military history of Naooleon I. and III. The Crimean 
 pictures, naturally interesting to American visitors, 
 and the " Taking of Abd-el-Kader by Louis-Phillipe" 
 (by Horace Vernet), the largest picture in the Palace. 
 Passing along a series of rooms, in which the dvmasties 
 seem to change at every step. Napoleon, Louis XVIII., 
 Charles X., and Louis-Phillipe succeed each other till 
 the Chapel is again passed and the State Rooms of Louis 
 XVI. are reached. There is little to detain the visitor, 
 whose time is limited, till he arrives at the 
 
 Salon des Glaces, or grand ball room, one of the finest 
 rooms in the world, the ceiling being gorgeously deco- 
 rated to the glory of Louis XVI. Passing the King's 
 Bedroom and the State Rooms of Marie Antoinette, we 
 soon reach the 
 
 Coronation Hall, which is so-called from an enormous pic- 
 ture by David, representing the Coronation of Napoleon

 the room is a 
 
 Statue of Napoleon I., representing the Emperor during 
 his last hours. Next follows the 
 
 Oalerie des Batailles, in which is a series of large paint- 
 ings, illustrative of the battles of the French from the 
 earliest times. 
 
 Thus ends the inspection of the Palace. The plan 
 proposed embraces all the main and most striking feat- 
 ures of importance. A stroll around the 
 
 GARDENS is next made, including the view from the head 
 of the marble staircase leading to the Tapis Vert, then 
 returning to the hotel where lunch has been taken. The 
 carriages waiting, the start is effected at 3:45 o'clock. 
 Passing through Sevres we cross the Seine, and driving 
 past the Park of St Cloud, re-enter the Bois de Boulogne, 
 taking a section not traversed in the morning, just as 
 the promenades are full of fashion and life. 
 
 THE CHAMPS ELYSEES are then passed on the home- 
 ward drive, and the hotels are reached in time for table 
 d'hote. 
 
 MEMO. — The plan of procedure in the Palace is occasion- 
 ally reversed on account of unfavorable weather or other 
 cause of equal importance. 
 
 Starting from Gaze's office, 2 Rue Scribe, 10 a. m., we pass 
 the Grand Opera House; and follow the Boulevard des 
 Italiens as far as the Rue Drouot, in which is the great 
 Paris Aviction Mart. (Hotel des Veutes). Now taking 
 the Rue Lafayette we draw up at the Church of 
 
 ST. VINCENT DE PAUL, a fine modem church, remark- 
 able for its striking situation, its magnificent columns, 
 and its carved-oak ceiling ; next passing on the left the 
 " Nord " Railway Station, and afterward the " Est" on 
 right, we enter the 
 
 BUTTES CHAUflONT, one of the most-beautiful parks in 
 Paris, interesting as having been one of the strongholds 
 of the Commune in 1871, and on account of its elevated 
 position commanding a fine panorama of the city and its 
 environs. The Rocher — the stalactite caverns — the pic- 
 turesque lake, are all visited, after which the carriages 
 will convey the party to 
 
 PERE LA CHAISE. This Cemetery is justly termed the 
 
 Now passing on left the Orleans Station we proceed to visit 
 the 
 
 GOBELINS TAPESTRY HANUFACTORY, one of the 
 most interesting sights of Paris. The Museum and 
 Ateliers are inspected. Here the process of manufact- 
 ure of this world- renowned tapestry is seen in all its 
 stages. 
 
 Our carriages are next drawn up before the statue of 
 
 MARECHAL NEY, " Le Brave des Braves," erected on the 
 spot where he was shot for treason to the King. Then 
 passing the beautiful Observatory Gardens we reach the 
 
 LUXEMBOURG GALLERIES, containing a standard col- 
 lection of modern French pictures and sculpture. A 
 stoppage of 45 minutes is made. The Gardens are in- 
 spected. The Palace is uot open to visitors, being used 
 for the sitting of the Seuate. We now proceed to the

 simir Perier, Thiers, Scribe, Marechal Ney, Rossini, 
 &c, &c. We then pass the 
 
 ROQUETTE PRISONS. Reformatory on right, condemned 
 criminals on left, and between, the dread site of the 
 Guillotine when used for capital offences. Soon after- 
 wards we reach the 
 
 PLACE DE LA BASTILLE, and Column of July, marking 
 the site of the Bastille Prison, which was pulled down 
 by the insurrectionists in 1789, which event marks the 
 foundation of the Republic, the centenary of which was 
 commemorated by the Universal Exhibition of 1889. 
 One hour is now devoted to 
 
 LUNCHEON. An excellent meal is served at inclusive charge 
 of 2 fr. 50c. (50 cents), or 3 fr. (60 cents), wine included.

 PANTHEON, formerly a church, now a " Temple of Glory," 
 destined to become the Westminster Abbey of Paris. 
 Here will be found the tombs of Victor Hugo, Voltaire, 
 J. J. Rosseau, etc. The Echo Vault is also a great at- 
 traction. Now walking past the Bibliotheque (or 
 Library) of Ste. Genevieve, we proceed to visit the 
 church of 
 
 ST. ETIENNE DU MONT (St. Stephen's), remarkable for 
 its miraculous shrine of Genevieve, to which the sick 
 and lame resort for restoration. Descending the Boule- 
 vard St. Michel, we follow the Seine to the 
 
 PLACE DE LA CARROUSEL. On left, Triumphal Arch

 with Chelsea Hospital, and from which access is ob- 
 tained to the 
 
 TOMB OF NAPOLEON I.— This grand mausoleum with its

 PLACE DE LA CONCORDE, with its fountains, statues, 
 and the obelisk marking the site on which Louis XVI' 
 and Marie Antoinette were executed; this is one of the 
 finest squares in Europe. The 
 
 CHAHPS ELYSEES are on the left-hand side and the

 ST. EUSTACHE, the loftiest church in Paris. An oppor- 
 tunity is now afforded for visiting the 
 
 HALLES CENTRALES, the principal markets of the 
 city. We now recross the Seine and proceed to the 
 
 SA1NTE CHAPELLE, the " Jewel Church," renowned for 
 its wonderous stained windows of fourteenth-century 
 glass. A perfect kaleidescope of color aud a marvel of 
 historic and architectural interest, the Saiute Chapelle 
 is unique among the churches of the world. The sortie 
 is by the way of the 
 
 PALAIS DE JUSTICE, answering to our law courts. 
 Here the advocates are bustling to and fro in their 
 flowing robes, and groups on every hand may be seen 
 eagerly " awaiting the verdict." Immediately opposite 
 the Palais of Justice will be noticed the Tribunal ot 
 Commerce, and just beyond, the New Flower Markets. 
 The huge building beyond again is the Hotel Dieu— one 
 of the largest hospitals in Paris. We now arrive on the 
 square or place of 
 
 NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL, the Metropolitan Church of 
 Paris. The Cathedral will be completely inspected and 
 a description given by the Conductor. An opportunity 
 for visiting the 
 
 MORQUE is next afforded. Weather permitting, we next 
 visit the 
 
 JARDIN DES PLANTES, which is well worthy a visit. 
 The carriages will remain at the entrance gates, in case 
 any choose to vary or abbreviate the route taken by the

 orial Theatre; the American fountain, etc. 
 
 STRATFORD, WARWICK AND KEMLWORTH. Carriage drive 
 through the loveliest part of England. At Warwick, sufficient time will be allowed to inspect 
 the Castle — the most-perfect feudal fortress in England. In this castle, founded in 916, are 
 preserved the relics of ages. Among these relics, and shown with great pride, are many con- 
 nected with Cromwell's life — his great hat, sword, etc.; and galleries of paintings, among which 
 is Vandyke's celebrated picture of Charles I. Passing through a portcullis and over the moat, 
 we stand before the far-famed Warwick vase. Continue in carriages and remain an hour at 
 Kenilworth, and visit Kenilworth Castle, the magnificent, ivy-covered ruin made famous by 
 Sir Walter Scott, and founded in the reign of Henry I. 
 
 TROSSACHS. Via the Trossachs — Glasgow to Edinburgh. Travel through the 
 Highlands of Scotland: charming scenery all day, and rendered doubly so by the association 
 of Sir Walter Scott. Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond, Loch Katrine, the Trossachs and Ellen's 
 Isle are passed. Two hours are given to Stirling Castle. Scott's " Lady of the Lake," which 
 can be bought in Glasgow for one shilling, should be the guide book. All will agree that the 
 day through the Trossachs is one of the most-delightful. 
 
 DUBLIN. Carriage drive (four hours). The sights of the metropolis are many and in- 
 clude two cathedrals — St. Patrick's and Christ Church — both recently restored; Trinity College, 
 with its library, museums and portrait galleries; the Bank of Ireland (formerly the Parliament 
 House, where the old House of Lords has been preserved intact); the Phoenix Park; the Anti- 
 quarian Museum of the Royal Irish Academy; the National Gallery, Library and Museums; 
 Guinness's Brewery (the largest in the world). (The Hibernian, Morrison's or Maple's Hotel.) 
 
 EDINBURGH. This is one of the most-romantically-interesting cities in Europe. 
 The house of John Knox, Edinburgh Castle, Holvrood Palace, Scott's monument, St. Giles 
 church and Calton Hill, are objects which first claim the attention of the traveler. Carriage 
 drives (half a day) in Edinburgh and also to the Firth of Forth Bridge, costing $12,000,000; 
 also to Roslin Chapel, remarkable for its decorations. (Hotels Royal, Albert or Castle.) 
 
 GLASGOW. The second city in the kingdom. The tourist can occupy himself sev- 
 eral hours in Glasgow. The cathedral so frequently referred to in "Rob Roy" is one of the 
 finest specimens of early pointed style in Great Britain. (Central Station Hotel, one of the 
 best in Europe.) The West End Park and Botanical Gardens should be visited Excursions 
 may be made from Glasgow to Ayr and the Land of Burns. Time required, one day.
