Each year this beautiful lake is visited by thousands of intelligent people, not only by those who wish to avail themselves of the advantages of the Chautauqua Assembly in connection with their summer recuperation, but also by those in search of rest and recreation only — for the shores of the lake throughout its entire length of twenty miles are dotted with hotels, camps and summer cottages. It is fed entirely by springs, and its high altitude — 1,450 feet above the sea — insures health and comfort. Chautauqua Lake, considered from any point of view, is one of the most charming resorts on the American continent. It is the radiantl\' beautiful gem of a section famed far and wide for its beauty and the salubrity of its cliinate. There is a subtle charm, an alluring fascination, in the wooded hills and shores, the bright, sparkling waters, and the almost numberless summer places, which is irresistible. REACHED BY THE ERIE RAILROAD The Erie Railroad, the Picturesque Trunk Line of America, is the most direct route to Chautauqua Lake, and is the only line without change from New York, Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Chicago. Its solid vesti- buled trains, consisting of luxurious day coaches, sleeping cars and dining and cafe cars, are everywhere protected by block safety signals. The dining car service, which is maintained on a high standard by the Railroad Company itself, is worth especial mention. Breakfast, dinner and supper in regular dining cars are served a la carte, and the passenger pays only for what is ordered. Dinner, with an elaborate menu, is served at the uniform price of one dollar. In the cafe cars meals are served a la carte at all hours. All the Erie's through trains during the summer stop at Lakewood — the Newport of the lake — noted for its fine hotel, the Kent House. At Lakewood direct connection is made with the Chautauqua Traction Com- pany's new line to the Chaii- tauqua Assembly Grounds and Bemus Point, and also with swift and commodious steamers to all landings on the lake, including the Chautauqua Assembly Grounds. Baggage may be checked through to the grounds. Stop-over at Lakeivood ( Chautauqua. Lake ) is atloived—on notice to Conductor —from June 1st to September 30th, on all through tickets l^ia the Erie.
