TOURS THE valley of the Lehigh River extends less than one-fifth of the distance composing the mileage of the main line of the Lehigh Valle}' Railroad between New York City and Niagara Falls ; but the strikingly rug- ged and romantic nature of the region through which this beautiful mountain stream flows, on its way to its conflu- ence with the Delaware River, has given title and character to the entire system. Originally projected to supersede the slow and cumbersome canal boats which furnished an outlet for the coal and forest products of the valley, the Le- high Valley Railroad has developed into one of the several great highways con- necting the interior and far West with the seaboard ; while the value of its local traffic is am|)ly attested by the many prosperous manufacturing cities and villages, as well as the numerous delightful places of summer resort, which are strung like beads along its course. Emerging from the rounded hills of pastoral New Jersey, some seventy miles from New York City, the west-bcjund traveler gains a fine glimpse of the gorge of the Delaware River as the train crosses the lofty bridge and enters the City of Easton, just where the Lehigh unites with the greater stream. The surroundings afford a fitting por- tal to the grandeur of the blue valley to the westward. The busy city across the stream is spread out upon the hill- side, behind which is the lofty plateau crowned with the dignified buildings of Lafayette College. Easton retains many of its old-time landmarks and characteristics. Its streets are broad and shady, those ex- tending up the hill leading through vistas of elegant and costly modern homes. The present year marks the third half century of Easton's e.xistence. John Penn gave directions (writing to his American agents) that a town should be laid out " at the forks of the Delaware," the same to be called "Easton," in honor of the English country house wherein he had but recently courted his young wife, the daughter of Lord Pomfret.

It had been endowed liber- ally, its chief benefactor having been tiie late Ario Pardee. Pardee Hall (recently restored after a disastrous fire), South College Hall, West Hall, Jenks Hall, and the Van Wickel Memorial Library are the prin- cipal educational buildings. The new dormitories facing the green are named in honor of their donors, the- Powell, Fairweather, Martien, McKeen, New- kirk, Knox, and lilair. A new chemical laboratory will soon be completed. The faculty is composed of thirty members. The curriculum includes all usual col- lege studies. The present attendance is about 350. A noteworthy institution is the Parker High School, located in South Easton. Four miles distant from the circle, and reached by an electric railway, is vania and N e w Jer- sey, which this point commands. The Pax- inosa Inn is a modern four-story building, 350 feet long, and surrounded with broad piazzas. The interior furnishings and equip- ments are unusually elaborate. All bedrooms, man}' of which are en suite, command a fine outlook. Electric PAXINOSA IN lights, with gas upon the upper floors, and open wood fires are features. Drives and rambles extend through Summer Tours and Fares. the surrounding forest. All out-of-door games are provided for. The Inn has been for a number of 3'ears highly popu- lar, and is the regular summer home of many New York and Philadelphia fami- lies. Extensive im- provements are an- nounced for the season of 1901. It is a brief run of twelve miles from Easton to the Bethle- liems, passing the in- termediate stations of Glendon, Redington and Freemans- station is the forge and the ordnance works of the Bethlehem Steel Company, the largest steel forge in the world.

Much of the armor plate used in naval construction is rolled in these works. in Lehigh Valley Railroad The fine grounds and buildings of Le- high University, Bisiiopthorpe School, and St. Luke's H()S|)ital are upon the south side of the river. Much of Bethlehem's iharin, however, centres around the old town upon the rising ground across the stream, where the tranquiliz- ing influences of the peace- ful Moravian founders are still manifest. The Moravians date their church organization from the twelfth century and from the oldest of the Protestant sects. Under the lead of Waldo, a great migration of Piedmontese into Moravia and Bohemia, to escape re- ligious persecution, took place in the fifteenth cen- tury, and soon after the open- ing of Pennsylvania by the great proprietor, a branch was foundetl here among the hills of the Lehigh. Large military hospitals were located here during the Revolutionarv \\'ar. The Moravian Seminary at Bethlehem is one of the old- est institutions of learning in the United States. The old Sun Inn and Eagle Hotel are the principal places of entertainment in Bethle- hem ; the Wyandotte Hotel in South liethlehem. The Lehigh LTniversity was found- ed in 1865 i)y the late Hon. Asa Packer, who also en- dowed it largely in later years. The institution pro- vides an education for young men in the several depart- ments of engineering, in metallurgy, chemistry and collateral studies. Attention is also paid to gen- eral literature, the classics and the languages. The principal buildings are the Packer Hall, two extensive laboratories, Christ- Summer Tours and Fares. 11 mas Hall, Saucon Hall, the Sayre Ob- servatory, University Library, the Gym- nasium, and Packer Memorial Hall.

The Le- high \'alley station is a picturesque structure at the foot tif Hamilton Street, and underwhich flows the lit- tle stream called the " Jordan." Up Hamilton Street, at the top of the hill, is the business centre, grouped around a spacious open square and spread along the near-by streets. This name has a pleasant local sig- nificance. A cosy hotel is nestled among the trees, and upon an island in the river, beneath the verdure, M.\UCii CHUXK. The name has a rug- ged style, quite ex- pressive of the turmoil of nature and man which echoes up out of the valley and reverberates along the everlastins: cliffs. There are three Mauch Chunks — Lower, Upper, and East. In the old lower town, across the bridge from the Lehigh Valley sta- tion, are most of the shops and the hotels. They are ranged along the river front and upon either side of the street leading up the gulch, like a successful Western mining town. Standing upon the shelf above is the newer residential 12 Lehigh Valley Railroad section, perched in front of famous Mount Pisgah. All outlooks are wild and impressive. The downpour of the river mingles with the never-ceasing rumble of creeping freight trains and the imperious warnings of the speedy passenger trains. In the public mind, Mauch Chunk and the "Switch Back" are synony- mous terms. In- deed, it would be difficult to think of one without the other. Touri.sts who never rode over the "Switch Back, "and tourists who never miss it when traveling this way, stop over for the exhilarating experience. It is an excursion ob- jective point of the first order. The Switch Back Railroad was built originally as a coal carrier. It extend- ed from Mauch ("hunk to Summit Hill, the scene of the earliest discovery of stone or an- thracite coal (1791), a distance of nine miles. It was opened in 1827, and is the oldest railroad in America. Prior to the construction of the two " in- clines " up Mounts Pisgah and Jeffer- son (1844), the cars ran down the grade by gravitation and were hauled back by mules. ONOKO FALLS. After Other and cheaper means of shipment were developed, the old " Switch Back " was preserved and equipped as a pleasure route. It com- prises a run of eighteen miles. The first plane is 2,332 feet long ; altitude, 1,500 feet. The second plane is 2,070 feet long : altitude, 1,662 feet. The engines which lift the cars are located at the summits. The ride through- out is exhilarating and exciting, but thoroughly safe, the equip m e n t being of the best. The great charm of the ride is its en- tire novelty. The grandeur of the scene, as viewed from the top of the inclines, embrac- ing the valley, with its dense and busy population, and the billowed moun- tains of the Blue Range, h as f e w ecpials in America. At Summit Hill one may go by car- riage or afoot to the Burning Mine and the great coal stripping. The for- mer has been smoldering since 1832, and cniinot be cxtiiigiiisliei!.

Two miles beyond Mauch Chunk is the station at the peerless Glen Onoko, an attraction which has de- veloped here an extensive excursion ground, with all its attendant features. A pathway extends up the glen, winding about vast rocks, span- ning splashing cascades, and creeping along giddy cliff sides. The winds sweep cooling draughts down the twi- light of the gorge, and tiiere are many pleasant eyries whereon to sit and think and marvel at the surpassing beauty of this inner temple of the Goddess Nature.

A dimple in the face of the shapely mountain overwatching the valley of Wyoming suggested the name of the extensive summer hotel at this point.

As from an eagle's nest, perched high on the crest of a splendid range of mountains, one looks down upon a pan- orama of surpassing loveliness, stretch- ing out to the four points of the com- pass ; in the r.adiance of a glorious dawn, the brilliancy of midday, or the suffused beauty of sunset, the calm, majestic serenity of the moun tains reflects the chang- ing charms of the sea- sons. In its day and hour the azalea Hoods the prospect with a sea of bhiom. Fol- lowing, the rhododendron flaunts its stately banners and the march of the flowers continues, until in early autumn the scene ripples over with the most vivid color which fancy can conceive. The eastern States are justly famous for splendor of autumnal foliage, and nowhere does Nature work with more subtle and effective chemistry than at iiKEs-BAHRE GlcH Summlt. STATION. , ^ , . , A colony of about lliu'ty cottages has grown up, tiie owners being residents of New York, Philadelphia, Wilkes- Harre and various other cities. A quaint little chapel in its midst, with a rustic fmish of bark, is usually occupied each Sunday by a visiting clergyman. The Glen Summit Hotel, so named from the fairy-like tree-em- bowered little glen, nestling on a mountain top 2,000 feet above the sea, possesses all the requisites in de- mand in this fin de siecle, luxury-loving age, combined with esthetics which always appeal to the artist and thinker. Chief among the attractions are the walks, drives and bicycling. Fifty miles of smooth hard road, equal to those of any city park, have ON THE LEHIGH.

New drives, which penetrate to picturesque and hitherto inaccessible points, are continually being added. Bowhng along on wheel or in carri- age, gazing down from wooded heights upon numerous cottages resembling permanent homes with their extensive and well-kept lawns, the impression is of some handsome suburb, until a dash over a rustic bridge or a sudden turn reveals naught but serpentine vista of clustering trees, massed ferns and hardy brake. The eight-mile drive to Bear Creek is particularly charming, and not infrequently is heard a silvery bugle call which wakes the echoes as it winds over the hills, warning of an approach- ing coaching party. Another drive, shorter, but full of surprise and interest, is that to Fountain Lake, where one sees the Sand Spring's source of water supply as it bubbles up so clear that it is almost as invisible as the atmosphere on a fine May morning. A first-class livery is attached to the hotel, where conveyances of all kinds can be had at reasonable rates. Careful drivers, well acquainted with the points of interest, are on call at all hours. A feature of interest to wheelmen is a coasting run of eight miles, with a return and easy ascent on another road. A large lake offers finest opportunities for fishing, boating and aquatic sports, in the midst of charming scenery. The north branch of the Susquehanna River winds in stately curves through the storied vale of Wyoming. The railroad train rolls down from Glen Summit by a long detour, affording superb views rn route, and presently halts amid the busy VVn.KES-B.-\RRE. clangor of the station atWilkes- ISarre.

Wilkes-Barre is proud of its affluent social life, the community being com- posed largely of wealthy descendants of the pioneers in the valley. Many large industries and extensive general stores lend an air of activity to the town.

Midway between Wilkes-Barre and Pittston stands the monument com- memorative of the historic Indian Mas- sacre at Forty Fort — an event which moved the English poet, Campbell, to pen the beautiful poem of " (Gertrude of Wyoming." The beauty and fertility of tiiis broad valley had induced its occupation by whites prior to the Revolutionary War, and the coming of these strangers among the resident tribes of Shawan- ese, Nanticokes and Delawares, as well as the predatory nations of New York, led to many bloody incidents which form salient points in local history. Fourteen miles toward Sunset, away up among the blue hills, nestles Har- vey's Lake. It is a lake of three bays and verdure- clad shores. It is locked in the embrace of the primeval forest. For generations it has been famous for its e.xcellent bass, pickerel and trout fishing ; but in recent years it has develojied as a modern cot- tage and hotel report /ar rxi-M'/nr.

A drive- way, twelve miles long, encircles the lake. The members of the Yacht Club maintain a fleet of natty sloops and cat- rigged boats, which add much to the beauty of the scene. It is one of the few resorts where aquatic facilities, aided by speedy connections with Wilkes-Barre and all Lehigh Valley points, indicate a rapid increase in popularity. Through miles of wild mountain scenery, accen- tuated con- stantly by large lumbering opera- tions, the mountain loop of the Lehigh Valley Rail- road continues northwest- ward over the Bowman's Creek Branch, beyond Harvey's Lake. Dash- ing little streams whisper of frolicsome trout, and dense glades are eloquent of partridge. From the station of Ricketts (named in honor of Col. Ricketts, mous as the commander of eran Ricketts' Battery at Gettys- burg) a spur of track winds and twists away among the lumber piles toward the forest. The cars of the Ganoga Lake Branch are backed and backed along wildwood lanes to finally come to a halt beside a rustic station in the depths of the piney wood. A board walk invites one toward a hotel — the North Mountain House and the Lodge, two plain but hospitable structures — a veritable mountain inn. The cleared grounds include a golf course of nine- teen holes. The Lake, close by, is dotted with the light blue punts which are the typical water craft of all this region. Ganoga Lake, save for the presence of a small clearing at the boat landing, is environed by unbroken forest. The lake is said to be the highest body of water east of the Rocky Mountains, TM, wiNo.A.

In the climb through these wild .glens, thirty-three cascades, some of which are 100 feet high, are encoun- tered. Other local points are Rhodo- dendron Point, Stella Spring, Mehoo- pany Spring and Far View. The Lodge is open all the year, and in autumn and winter is the resort of gunning parties, 18 Lehigh Valley Railroad partridge and large game being abun- dant.

The annual Chautauqua Course is a leading feature of summer life here. The hotels are the Eagles Mere, the Lakeside, and Chautauqua Inn. The amusements include bathing, boating, steamer excursions upon the lake and driving over park-like roads. Carriages meet guests for this charm- ing lake at Falls station, upon the main line of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The drive is four miles eastward, and terminates at the " Winola," embowered among lofty pines. The hotel is a large and well- furnished house, having a room capacity of 200. Porches extend upon both the driving and lake fronts. The lake is immediately to the north of the hotel. L.\KE WIXOL.X, At the foot of the rocky steep leading to the shore are numerous row-l)oats, and from here an open view of the lake is first had, revealing its distant shores and numerous pretty cottages. Tennis, croquet, boating, fishing, bathing, driv- ing and dancing are the diversions. Fine spring water is piped into the house on each floor. Upon the hotel grounds is the rocky cavern which was reputed to be the dwelling place of the Indian Princess Winola. Rranching away from the railroad and the river at Tunkhannock is a nar- row-gauge line, which climbs out of the valley and winds about among the hills and streams to the pretty town of Montrose. This is the route to Lake Carey. Lake Carey is six miles from the junc- tion point, and has an altitude of 1,000 feet above the sea. It is set among the verdure-clad hills. 'I'wo hotels, the Spring Grove House, close by the sta- tion, and the Ferncliffe, across the lake, are well filled in the season. Several private cottages, with boat houses and L.\KE CAREY.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad crosses the broad and shallow Suscjuehanna River over a long bridge one mile above Towanda, the centre of a group of large industries. This is the junction point of the How- man's Creek and Bernice Branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The station grounds, as at many points upon the line, are embellished with well-kept grass and flowers. The view of the gorge at this halting place is magnificent. near which that historic ogress.

Varied out-of-door diversions, including driv- ing, yachting, bathing and golf, add to the natural at- tractions of this well-known centre of summer gaiety and fashion. Beyond Sheldrake the railroad crosses the lofty divide separating the sister lakes of Cayuga and Seneca, trav- ersing a region famous for its fruits and farms, and presently comes to Geneva, one of the most cultured and delightful types of the American com- munity.

Af- ter a visit to Watkins Glen the railroad will be regained by a coach ride of three miles to Burdett station ; or they may take the train to Bur- dett, passing along the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, through the vineyard country, with its beautiful, vine-clad hills, sloping gently away to the water's edge that laves their feet. This ride affords a most entrancing viewof both shores of the lake, the gently rising hills and the rippling waters of the lake itself, a scene of unparalleled beauty, and one seldom forgotten.

LODI FALLS, UtAU LOOl POINT t.LtN, LbHlGH VALLEY RAILROAD BRIDGE. Lodi Point (the Willows Hotel), one mile from Lodi .station, is one of tlie coolest and most beautiful points on the lake. There is a fine sand beach and pleasant wil- low groves. A short distance from the hotel is a beautiful gorge that extends nearly a mile inland to what is called I.odi Falls. This forms one of the most delightful retreats for the seeker after rest and quiet. Near the southeastern end of Seneca I.ake, on a little wooded promontory extending intn the limpid wateis o f the lake, stands the Sagoyewatha Inn. Twelve miles up the lake, at the southern end, is Walkins Glen, while at the other end BLAKESTON-ON-SENECA (NORllI HECTOR.) of the lake is Geneva. The steamers running between these two places make regular stops, thus affording ample op- portunities for excursions upon the lake, or for little jaunts to Watkins Glen or to Geneva. Tiiere are long drives through the picturesque region around Seneca Lake ; the roads are kept in excellent condi- tion, and a livery stable is attached to the inn, where, at a merely nominal fee, teams or saddle horses may be hired for a day's drive or ride along the lake, or into the vineyard region. These roads are excellent for bicyclists, shade trees, which line the drives, keeping them cool even in the middle of the day. A road eighty miles in length surrounds the lake, and bicyclists so inclined can make the most delightful century run imaginable. Lawn tennis courts and croquet grounds are maiked out and kept in excellent order at the inn. Claiming such delightful places of rest, it is no wonder that Seneca Lake is one of the most popular resorts in New York State, ami a haven of rest annually for those who know how and where to enjoy their summer to the full.

"Travelers westward bound over the Lehigh Valley Railroad have a brief glimpse of beautiful Cayuga Lake as the train climbs the grade beyond Ithaca ; but it is the way-passenger only, who changes cars at the famous college town and speeds along the eastern margin of the lake, who realizes the remark- able beauty of this queen of inland waters. CLEN PAKK HOTEL. Summer Tours and Fares. 27 "To the tired-out business man, who has escaped the heated confuies of New Yoriv or Philadelpliia but the evening before, this early-morning run of thirty miles, close to the pebbled shore line of the Cayuga, is a joyous overture to a holiday ; but the artist who glories in color values, composition, and all that Nature has to teach him, chooses the eventide, when the train, which leaves Auburn for Ithaca, comes upon the lake just at sunset. Then it is at its best. There is a water-color study in every old wharf, wooded point, wayside group and huddle of sleeping boats. The scene changes with the rapidity of the kinetoscope. As the glow of the western sky deepens above the distant highlands the last catspaw of the stiff breeze which has lashed the lake into turmoil all day, goes flirting down its green and gold expanse, leaving drift- ing sail craft in helpless profile against the purple screen of the background. " The deep content of American rural life, the true life of the people, is no- where seen to better advantage than when the train pulls up for a moment at the frequent villages and landings. That happiest of mortals, the barefoot buy, the self-conscious village belle, the octogenarian, the storekeeper and the SLHiimer boarders from town are all par- ticipants in the small but cheerful ex- citement which always attends the ar- rival of the train. Yellow roads lead away through pretty glens toward the s|)arkle of vdlage lights. There are gypsy-like groups of summer cottages, where hammocks abound and young ladies still persist in the ancient but fascinating game of croquet, and later there is a far-off twinkle of electric lights toward Ithaca. It is the great excursion park across the lake at Ren- wick Beach. The lights glimmer for miles toward the Glen of Taughannock from scores of handsome summer re- treats, where steam yachts form the connecting link with town." Taken in detail, there are several places of interest of more than local importance upon this branch. Aurora is the seat of Wells College, the Cayuga Lake Academy and Wells Preparatory School. The first-named institution numbers among its alumni many women whose names are known in the rolls of literature and in the af- fairs of the State and nation. A large school is conducted at Le- vanna, and at Union Springs the So- ciety of Friends maintain an academy. A sanitarium is also located at the lat- ter place. From Cayuga Junction a short ex- tension of the railroad extentls to Cayuga, at the foot of the lake. Near Cayuga is the important excursion point of Cayuga Lake Park. It is reached from Seneca Falls. The Cayuga Lake branch includes a short-cut line from Cayuga Junction to Auburn. Here it connects with the Lehigh and New England brand) between Sayre and North Fair Haven upon Lake Ontario. Auburn is one of the most wealthy cities of its population in the United States. Genesee and South streets are bordered with costly and beautiful res- idences which are usually surrounded by spacious grounds. Several very large, and many minor, industries are 28 Lehigh Valley Railroad CASCADE-ON-OWASCO AND ENSENORE. clustered along the water-power of the " outlet." Ovvasco Lake, two miles to the south of the city, is reached by electric cars. The borders of the lake are being rapidly improved by the builders of summer homes. The sur- OWASCO LAKE. ,. , „ , , roundmgs of Owasco Lake, the deep, clear water and animated sum- mer life, contribute to make it the peer in the aqueous group of gems which sparkle upon the bosom of the Empire State. Owasco Lake Park, at the foot of the lake, is the lead- ing local resort. The trains going south- ward over this division (for- merly the Southern Central Railroad), after leaving Au- burn, skirt the western shore of Owasco Lake for a dozen miles. Along this reach of pebbled waterside there are two charming little hotels at Ensenore and Cascade, both of which offer attractions to the holiday seeker. The Ensenore Glen House is a four-story building surrounded with verandas, and is furnished in modern style. The adja- cent glen is more than locally famous for its wild and rugged beauty. The steamer " Lady of the Lake " makes excursions from tiiis point. The Cas- cade House is environed by romantic scenery and well-kept grounds. At- tractive cottages, in connection with the hotel, are ranged along the lake shore. Many Auburnians have built cottages along this portion of the lake. The railroad crosses another of the Lehigh Valley's numerous tentacles at Freeville, which will be noted later. Between Freeville and Owego, the two points of most note are Dryden, the station for Dryden Springs and its Sani- tarium, as well as pretty Dryden Lake and Newark Valley, famous for its trout farms and excursion park.

Although settled for more than a hundred years, the hand of the despoiler has touched its surroundings lightly, and it is still near to Nature's heart. Many pieces of virgin forest are close by; the streams are still the haunts of the speckled trout ; and Lake Owagena is "the lake of the yellow perch," as it was in the days when the red men named it. Round about Cazenovia are many beautiful drives. That encircling the lake is one ut the finest to be found in any country. Four miles away the beautiful Chittenango Creek tumbles its waters over cliffs 145 feet high, forming a waterfall of rare beauty. Several acres of land about these falls have been acquired by an incorporated association, formetl for the sole purpose of preserving the scenery in its natural beauty. The drive to this spot is enchant- ing, and the same may almost be said of any of the fine h i ghway s that radiate fro m the village. For gen- eral health- fulness, Cazenovia is not e.x- celled. Its high alti- tude carries it tar above the zone of malaria. Hay fever is scarcely known, and there are no endemic diseases. The village water supply is of pure spring water from the surrounding hills. 'I'he rolling character of the village site allows the finest of natural drainage, and this has been supplemented by a sewer system as elaborate as that of any city.

It has little of the whirl and rush of the great summer resorts ; but its quietness, its tonic atmosphere, its rare beauty, give it a charm which those all lack. People who desire a certain amount of activity find abundant opportunities for recrea- tion in driving, bicycling, sailing, fish- ing, bathing, golf and other sports. Increasing numbers of summer peojile visit it yearly, and each year they come earlier and stay later. Many have re- turned for so many successive seasons that they have come to regard them- selves as Cazenovians. Some have erected handsome residences, and re- main there the greater portion of the year. An important institution is the Caze- novia Seminary, now seventy-seven years old, and the alma mater of many distinguished men and women. To the northward of the elevated plateau, along which the railroad extends, and about four miles east from Caze- novia, are Chittenango Falls, the romantic beauty of which has been the theme of many writers in earlier times. It may be agreeably visited over a fine road by carriage from Cazenovia. Oneida Lake, unlike the hill-begirt lakes which we have already visited, presents to the mind the appearance of an inland sea. Its shores are relatively low, and the broad expanse of tumbling, sparkling water reaches far beyond the distant horizon. Its chief resort, an Atlantic City in miniature, is spread along a sandy beach at the eastern end of the lake. This is Sylvan Beach. Scores of cottages front upon llie lake or are scattered among the. pines. Numer- ous hotels, restaurants and amusement booths e.\ist for the comfort and pleas- ure of the excursions which fill the place in summer.

Buffalo is the sixth commercial city of the world. " Beautiful for situation" and by the contributing hand of art, Buffalo chiefly lies on a slope which gently rises from lake and river, save that there is a steep bluff for a short distance along the Niagara. A bird's- eye view from one of the high buildings, say from the spacious roof of Ellicott Square, will afford a good understand- ing of the city's geography. To the south and southwest are Buffalo River and Lake Erie ; to the west is Niagara's broad stream, backed by the quiet Cana- dian border.

When the waters leave Lake Ontario and flow onward they are known as the River St. Lawrence, which is 700 miles long and empties into the Gnlf of St. Lawrence. The Niagara River is part of the boundary line estab- lished between the United States and Canada by the treaty of Ghent, A. D. 1815. The boun- dary as then established runs through the centre of the Great Lakes and the deepest channel of the connecting rivers. In its course the Niagara River falls 336 feet, as follows : From Lake Erie to the rapids above the falls, 15 feet ; in the rapids, 55 feet ; at the falls, 161 feet ; from the falls to Lewis- ton, 98 feet ; from Levi^iston to Lake Ontario, 7 feet. It is sup- plied by Lake Superior, the largest body of fresh water in the world, 355 miles long, 160 miles THE RAPIDS AND GORGE RAILROAD. NIAGARA FALLS, X. Y. One, who from some well- known point of observation views the falls, sees only a part of the wonders and beauties of Niagara. Repeated visits and views from different points pro- duce the lasting impres- sion of the grandeur of this monument of Nature. The Niagara River is but a link in the chain, extending from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, which connects the waters 36 Lehigh Valley Railroad wide and i,o6o feet deep ; Lake Huron, 260 miles long, 100 miles wide and 1. 000 feet deep ; Lake Michigan, 320 miles long, 70 miles wide and 1,000 feet deep ; Lake St. Clair, 49 miles- long, 15 miles wide and 20 feet deep; Lake Erie, 290 miles long, 65 miles wide and 84 feet deep, together with a num- ber of smaller lakes and 100 rivers, large and small, draining a section of country containing more than 150,000 square miles. This is the drainage of almost half the continent, whose remot- est springs are fully 2,000 miles from the ocean. It is, then, not surprising that the volume (20,279,680 cubic feet) of Niagara is so great and never notice- ably diminished. Other falls are of greater height, but the stupendous pro- portions, the rapid sweep of the current, the deep gorge through which it flows, and its awe-inspiring surroundings com- bine to render Niagara Falls a scene of unapproachable sublimity. The old Railway Suspension Bridge across Niagara River below the falls has been replaced by a beautiful single steel arch. The new structure is said to be the largest single arch steel railway bridge in the world, and was constructed without interruption of traffic. a trip through the gor(;e. The visitor pressed for time can gain a comprehensive idea of the magnitutle of Nature's work by taking a trip over the Gorge Route which enters Niagara Gorge at the falls and, passing undtr the cantilever and new steel arch bridges, which span the river, reaches the lower level at Whirlpool Rapids. Continuing down the gorge, in full view of the mighty torrent, the passenger reaches the Grand ^Vhirlpool, whose great basin lies at the foot of the frown- ing walls of the gorge, and has been formed by the rush of water in action for ages past. Still following the course of the river, the visitor rounds Ongeara Curve and can see directly across on the Canadian shore most remarkable rock formations, notably the vivid resemblance of a human bust, called the "Demon of the (jorge." From this point is the descent of the IvOwer Rapids. Many interesting and historic points are passed — "The Devil's Hole," "The Giant Rock," the rivulet of " Bloody Run," where, in 1763, a compan}' of British soldiers were am- bushed by a band of Seneca Indians. Continuing, still the visitor has this view until is seen high on the Canadian heights the shaft of Brock's Monument, and opposite, on the American cliffs, the ruins of old Fort Gray, between them the new suspension bridge, replacing the first suspension bridge which spanned the gorge and which was wrecked by a gale in 1863. Ending the trip, it should be remem- bered that those so desiring can stop over at any point of interest along the line. After having been brought face to face with such marvelous works of Nature, one is uncertain whether to com- mend or grieve in the knowledge that these mighty waters have been yoked in production of power for the genera- tion of electricity, resulting in an estab- lishment second to none in the world. Summer Tours and Fares. 37 TOURS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. STEAMSHIPS " NORTH WEST " AND "NORTH LAND." NORTHERN STEAMSHIP COMPANY. Beginning with the opening of navi- gation this year, the two steamers above named will run between Buffalo and Chicago, stopping at Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, Harbor Springs and Milwaukee, connecting at Mackinac Island with the steamship " Miami " for Sault Ste. Marie and Duluth. Since the operation of these twin steamers, " North West " and " North Land," by the Northern Steamship Company on the great lakes this tour has become deservedly most popular. Tickets are sold for the round trip, either all-water route, or going by water STEAMSHIP " NORTH LAND." and returning by rail, thus affording a most desirable summer outing. A well- known writer expresses the beauties and fascination of this tour in the fol- lowing language : " Succeeding, shining days of blue sky, foamy cloud flecked, and bluer waters scarce rippled by plowing prow, dreamy, lazy days ! No nightmare of seasickness to trample triumphantly upon one's inner mechanism and neigh victoriously over sundered ties of sun- dry delectables. On the contrary the conquering hero could revel unrebuked upon the achievements of a remarkably good cuisine, and later gaze proudly upon the innocuous waves with assured and stately mien. " Refreshing, nerve restoring days ! the wildest excitement a mild interest in being 'locked' through the ' Soo ' or watching a genuine Indian piloting some venturesome individual over the rapids which render the river unnavi- gable just at that point (and necessitated the building of the Sault Ste. Marie — the finest of its kind in this country), and nights radiant with shimmer of stars and gleam of moon, with now and again the thrum of banjo and songs both touching and gay, from a musical deck party. i "The wonder is that 'the lakes' are not better known and appreciated. As a matter of fact, their like is not to be found elsewhere. Longfellow has chanted their charms in pathetic verse and plaintive Indian song. The waters of more than one of them have been tinged with red, not that of the dying sun, and brave heroes have given their lives to secure to us this glorious heritage." 38 Lehigh Valley Railroad BUFFALO TO MACKINAC ISLAND, SAULT STE.

With this ar- rangement, a tour through the St. Lawrence River may ! be made without ve.xatious delays, thus being a delight from start to finish, including the trip through the Blue Mountains in Pennsylvania, the historic Wvoming \'alley, the beautiful Susc]ue- hanna \'alley, and the pictures(|ue lake region of central western New York, on the Black Diamond Express. Fares have been made covering this tour and will be quoted by ticket agents, or by passenger representatives of the Lehigh \'alley Railroad, There is no more beautiful scenery on the continent of America than that which lies between Niagara, Montreal and Quebec. Commencing at the Falls of Niagara on the southern shore, then crossing Lake Ontario to Toronto (the Queen City of the West), embarking on one of the steamers of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company, follow- ing the course of the lake past the romantic waters of the Bay of Quinte to Kingston, thence down the St. Law- rence, threading in and out of the Thousand Islands into the open stretch to Lake St. F'rancis, shooting the rapids, stopping over at Montreal and Quebec, and finally (if your itinerary w'ill per- mit) reaching the crowning glory of all, RICHKLIEU & ONTARIO STRAMHR. the incomparable grandeur of the Sag- uenay River. The boats of this line are commodi- ous, with all the modern improvements for the comfort and convenience of passengers. MUSKOKA LAKES. The region known as " Muskoka Lakes" embraces a collection of lakes and islands in northern Ontario, 112 miles from Toronto and 145 miles from Hamilton, on the line of the Northern Summer Tours and Fares. 41 Division of the Grand Trunk Railway affording adequate protection and sliel- System ; the point of destination by rail ter for the frailest canoe or boat. The is Gravenhurst (Muskoka Wharf), where close connection is made with the boats of the Muskoka Navigation Company, and it is but a day's journey from Toronto or Hamilton to the farthest stopping place on the lakes. While the lakes in this enchanting region are numbered by the thousand, the three principal sheets of water (for loveliness they might be called the Three Graces) are Muskoka, the first and larg- est ; Rosseau, second and next largest ; and Joseph, the third, somewhat smaller than Lake Rosseau, The sinuous shores of these three lakes form a coast line of hundreds of miles, with some 400 beautiful islands studded with considerable regularity, CLOCK IN THE MORNING" lakes are traversed in all directions by the comfortable steamers of the Mus- koka Navigation Company. Upward of thirty-five hotels and boarding houses are regularly situated along the lakes, and are quite accessible by the twice- daily steamers. Any description of the Muskoka Lakes would be incomplete without referring to the splendid service given by the five fine steamers of the Muskoga Naviga- tion Company. These boats, which make two trips daily in the season, are handsomely fitted up and equipped ; the dining service is first-class, so that no apprehension on that score is necessary. The boats make connections with all morning trains from Toronto, Hamilton and Lon- d o n , an d everything possible has been done to make this one of the most com- fort a b 1 e and effi- cient steam- boat lines in Ontario. Every year Mus- koka wel- comes thou- sand s of visitors who make their annual pil- 42 Lehigh Valley Railroad grimage thence for health and pleas- ure ; tens of thousands more may yet seek its beauties and still there will be room. The stream of travel in this CALDWELL S LANDING, LAKE JOSEPH, MUSKOKA LAKES. direction is steadily increasing, and none are ever disappointed, for it can be truthfully said of Aluskoka that "age cannot wither nor custom stale her infi- nite variety." AMONG THE 30,000 ISLANDS OF THE GEORGIAN BAY. " Where the north star shines most clear. And our devious course we steer 'Mong the isles of the Georgian Bay." One of the most delightful and beauti- ful trips that may be taken in Canada, and not surpassed in any other country, is through and among the Islands of the Georgian Bay, that great arm of Lake Huron lying west of the Muskoka Lakes and which is easily accessible from Midland or Penetang, two points on the Grand Trunk Railway System — in which lie an e.xtensive archipelago of more than 30,000. islands, and which bears the name of his late Majesty. King George the Third. In general character they are similar to the Thou- sand Islands situated in the St. Law- rence River, but, of course, are infinitely more numerous. This magnificent bay has no equal on the American continent. The steady increase of tourists to this locality is alone proof that it has become the most popular resort on the Inland Lakes. It is impossible to describe this wonderful waterway with any de- gree of satisfaction, as Nature has been so generous in beautifying and adorning it with a lavish hand and has gifted the region v^ith gorgeous scenic effects, rugged promontories, charming summer- ing places on beautifully wooded is- lands, intricate channels and narrows, that it is one grand panorama of vistas from beginning to end. Islands of every shape and size, from those of but a lone rock to some of hundreds of acres in extent, are beheld on every hand, most changeable in their varie- gated foliage and moss-covered rocks, peeping out of the blue depths of clear, crystal -like water, for the inspec- tion of the beholder. O n e of the m.0 s t p o p u 1 a 1 trips, and one full of interest, is that from Penetang or Mid- land, two of the lake ports and ter- minals on the Grand Trunk Railway System, to Parry Sound, some si.xLy miles distant. WAITING FOR THE SHIP TO COME IN, LAKE MUSKOKA. Summer Tours and Fares. 43 Another popular tour is from Detroit, via the Windsor, Detroit & Soo Line, which includes a steamboat ride from Detroit to Soo and Killarney ; thence to Parry Sound, railroad to Maple Lake, Tallyho Coach to Port Cockburn or Rosseau on Muskoka Lakes. Thence boat through the Muskoka Lakes to Muskoka Wharf, at Gravenhurst, and thence rail, Grand Trunk and Lehigh Valley to Buffalo via Niagara Falls; thence rail, Lehigh Valley and Grand Trunk to Detroit. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Less than forty years since, Atlantic City first attracted attention as a health- and-pleasure resort, but so marked are its advantages in accessibility, comfort and salubrity, that it has steadily grown in favor until it has become the most popular and the largest seaside resort in the country. It is built on an island ten miles in length, formed by Absecom and Great Egg Harbor inlets. It is within sixty miles of Philadelphia by railroad. The location of Atlantic City is pecu- liarly favorable from a sanitary aspect, and its inherent natural conditions prove in the highest degree beneficial to im- paired health. The air is tonic, exert- ing the very effect which most constitu- tions require. This, with the sea bath- ing and hot baths, imparts renewed vitality, and gives that physical vigor which makes life a grateful realiza- tion. Atlantic City is both a summer and winter resort. Its climate is so tem- pered by the sea and the nearness of the Gulf Stream, that it is congenial in summer, while the same inlluence ren- ders it an agreeable and a beneficial resort in winter. The temperature is several degrees higher than that of Philadelphia in winter. It consequently enjoys a very large winter patronage, which is increasing with each succeed- ing season. The bathing facilities are excellent. Boating, fishing, promenading on the magnificent board walk, which is forty feet wide and four miles long, walking along the clean, hard beach, or resting on the white sands, are favorite amuse- ments, suited to the tastes and inclina- tions of visitors. The avenues are wide, and afford fine walks and drives, and superb runs for bicycles. A trolley line extends along the coast for eight miles to Longport, and in various directions are interesting places which may be visited by boat, trolley cars and railroad. There are minor attractions in great variety. STOP-OVER AT NIAGARA F.ALLS WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE. Passengers holding tickets via the Lehigh Valley Railroad and its con- nections (east-bound, destined to Geneva and points east thereof; west-bound, sold at Geneva and points east thereof) are privileged to stop-over at Niagara Falls without extra charge. This affords an excellent opportunity of viewing the many wonders of this famous cataract, which people come from all parts of the world to visit. This stop-over may be for any length of time from one to ten days ■ — not exceeding the latter. 44 Lehigh Valley Railroad Passengers desiring stop-over should nolify the conductor before reaching Buffalo and Niagara Falls of this fact, and he will inform them as to the neces- sar)' steps to take in order to have tick- ets validated for this stop-over. STOP-OVER AT THE PAN- AMERICAN EXPOSITION. During the continuance of the Pan- American E.\position, stop-over will be allowed at Buffalo on through tickets, under the same conditions as at Niagara Falls, except that tickets should be de- posited with joint agent, and a fee of $i.oo will be charged for this service at the time. STOP-OVER AT MAUCH CHUNK AND GLEN SUMMIT. Regular Summer excursion tickets are good for stop-over upmi notice to conductor. Stop-over at above points will be granted holders of first or second-class limited one-way tickets, round-trip lim- ited continuous passage or special ex- cursion tickets (except party tickets issued to theatrical or amusement com- panies) when reading to or from Sayre, Pa., and points north thereof, for a period not to exceed twenty-four hours. Passengers desiring this stop-over will notify conductors and ap|)ly to the ticket agent at once for an exchange of original ticket through to destina- tion. Where through trains do not stop at destination of ticket, or where it reads heyond the run of local trains on which the passengers must start, they will be endorsed by conductor and are to be honored from the point at which the through train is taken. NEW YORK TERMINALS. Passengers to and from New York via the Lehigh V.^^lley Railroad are afforded the exceptional and convenient facilities of three passenger stations in different parts of Manhattan Island : CoRTLANDT Street on the south, Twen- ty-Third Street on the north, and Desbrosses Street between ; and in Brooklyn, by Annex boats to and from the foot of Fulton Street. The ad- vantages of Cortlandt and Desbrosses streets as terminals for business and professional patrons are already too well known to necessitate elaborate explana- tion. THE WEST 23d STREET PAS- SENGER ST.ATION is situated near the centre of the hotel, theatre and shopping district, and in addition to the excellent street-car ser- vice to this station, a complete cab and carriage service is maintained exclu- sively for the accommodation of passen- gers. The charges for this service have been made u])on a very reasonable basis, .Vn agent of the cab service will be found at the cab stand, within easy access to the waiting room, who will see that all orders for vehicles are promptly filled, and that patrons are courteously and satisfactorily served.

"One always experiences a vivid emotion from the sij^ht of the rapids, no matter how often one sees them," writes Wm. Dean Howells. "I had schooled myself for great impressions, but I had not counted upon the rapids tak- ing me by the throat, as it were, and making my heart stop. I still think that the rapids are the most striking part of the spectacle."
