In the catalogue of such sights I will include all buildings, pictures, statues and wonders of art made by men's hands, and also all beauties of nature prepared by the Creator for the delight of His creatures. This is a long word, but, as far as my taste and judgment go, it is justified. I know no other one thing so beautiful, so glorious, and so powerful. — Anthony Trollope. Englishman, Lord Byron, that on meeting an American gentleman, just arrived in ;r had ever seen Niagara Falls. The American contritely admitted that he never had, whereupon the poet turned from him with an expression of disgust at one who should come so far in quest of sights, leaving behind such a sight unseen. There is no point on the earth's surface from which an entire idea of human existence can be more adequately conceived than from the center of ihe Railroad Suspension Bridge, which in the distance appears as a mere web. t is related of that unconventiona an, he asked abruptly if the trave THE Bia AVHITE EUR^ITURE STORE lEST-^BX-ISXIEnD 2.35-7.

There, sus- pended in mid-air between precipices inclosing a terrifying chasm, through which rushes the mighty flood, it is impossible to stand without experiencing that feeling of enthusiasm connected with the assumption that the creation contains no power too great for human control. Yet, when the heavily- laden freight trains cause the fabric to tremble, the possibility of the breaking of the bridge seems so near, and total destruction in that event so certain, then the feeling of exultation is necessarily allied with that of fear, recalling the idea of standing face to face with eternity. This, briefly and tersely, is the locale of Niagara, which is at once a village and a city, for the reason that it contains such grand and interesting scenery as well as splendid manufacturing establishments and triumphs of human skill, although it has not more than 6.000 inhabitants !

THE NAME NIAGARA.— The word Niagara is a house- hold word all over the world. It is applied only to the locality, and is to-day the synonym for the ideal waterfall. It is of Indian origin, for the Indians once inhabited all this country, and much of the nomenclature of Western New York is traceable directly to them. Niagara is supposed to be borrowed from the language of the Iroquois, and means "The Thunder of the Waters." It was of a tribe, for it was an Indian custom to call their tribes from the most important natural feature of the country they inhabited, or to give the tribal name to such feature. The first description that we have is that of Father Hennepin, published in 167S. We here quote a part of his description; "Ct I>C5cription OF THE F.\LL OF THE RIVER NI.^G.\R.\, WHICH IS SAID TO BE SEEN BETWEEN THE L.'VKE ONTARIO AND THAT OF ERIE. the Lakes On/ario and Jin'e there is a vast and prodigious cadence of water, which falls dow after a surprising and astonishing manner \ H ^ J\[IAGARA RIVER AND GORGE. •*• •:• •:• RIVER VIEW TRAINS BY THE NEW YORK CENTRAL NO VISIT to Niagara Falls is complete without the trip to Lewiston, which can be made so easily and quickly. The Lewiston Branch of the New York Central extends from Niagara Falls along shelving rock over-looking the magnificent scenery of the Niagara Gorge, and in full view of Oueenston Heights, the Whirlpool Rapids and Brock's Monument. River View trains, fitted with observation cars, are run at frequent intervals, connecting at Lewiston with a fine new steamer on Niagara River, making trips to Niagara-on-the-Lake, from which point connection is made for Youngstown, etc. The New York Central has acquired control of a very desirable grove at Lewiston for excursion purposes, and special excursion rates will be quoted to Sunday Schools and Societies upon application to R.

" This wonderful Downfall is compounded of two cross-streams of Water and two falls, with an isle sloping along the middle of it. The waters which fall from this horrible Precipice, do foam and boyl after the most hideous manner imagin- able, making an outrageous noise, more terrible than that of Thunder; for when the wind blows out of the South their dismal roaring may be heard more than Fifteen Leagues off." The Niagara River is merely one link in the chain which conducts the waters of Lake Superior to the Atlantic. It is called the Niagara River, between the two lakes Erie and Ontario. When it leaves Lake Ontario, it is the River St. Law- rence, which is 700 miles long, and falls into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is a part of the boundary line between the United States and Canada — so decreed by the '- Treaty of Ghent in 1S15. By that treaty, the boundar> line runs through the center of the Great Lakes, and through the deepest channel of the rivers. By this means over three-fourths of the i parallel.

Of these islands there are in all thirty-six, of which Grand Island is the largest, and Goat Island the most famous.

Several smaller lakes, with one hundred rivers, large and small, pour their waters this way, draining a country of more than one hundred and fifty thousand square miles. This is the drainage of almost half a continent, and whose remotest springs are 2,000 miles from the ocean.

The river over the A'merican Fall falls 159 feet, and over the Canadian 165, the difference being caused by the greater accumulation of rock at the base of the former. The Niagara is never frozen over, but it accumulates more ice than any other river in the world. The average depth of the river from Lake Erie to the Falls is about 20 feet. In some places it is over two miles wide. At the narrowest point near the Whirlpool, the current is above 40 miles per hour, and at the widest part about four miles per hour. Between the Falls and the Whirlpool, the depth varies from 75 to feet. At the Whirlpool Rapids it is estimated at 250 feet; in the Whirlpool at 400. But it should be recalled that this is the depth of the water alone. The mass of stone, gravel, shale, etc., which in one way and another has been carried into the channel, lies below the water and above the original bottom of the gorge, which, therefore. Various estir have been given IS probably as deep again, of the amount of water going over the Falls. A point 300 feet wide below the Falls being selected, the depth estimated, and the velocity of the current known, it was estimated that 1,500- 000,000 cubic feet passed that point every minute. Another estimate says 100,000,000 of tons pass through the Whirlpool every hour. Judge DeVeaux estimated that 5,000,000,000 barrels go over every 24 hours; 211,836,853 barrels an hour; 3,559,614 barrels a minute; 58,343 barrels each second. FACIAL BLEMISHES.

The Falls are in latitude 43'' 6" north ; longi- tude 2° 5" west from Washington, or 79° 5" west from Greenwich. The Horseshoe Fall has an aggregate length of 2, coo feet; the American Fall about Soo feet. The view of the Falls at sunrise and at sunset is particularly grand. The moonlight views of Niagara are indescrib- ably weird and delicate, and it will repay the traveler to journey far to see them. Solar bows formed by the reflection of the sun on the spray can be seen on any bright day, when the visitor is between the sun and the spray. Lunar bows, seen ^ at night, are formed in a similar way by lunar __ — ^ - beams. The spectator must be similarly placed. The roar of the Falls can be heard a long way if the wind blows toward the listener. It has been heard at Toronto, 44 miles, and at Buffalo, 22 miles. When the wind blows from the listener, the roar is hardly heard, even when one is within a few feet of the cataract. A loud roaring of the Falls is said to indicate rain. The rain winds come from the west, and a west wind brings the sound over the village. Niagara Falls in winter is a scene that no pen can describe. The ice bridges are simply accumulations of ice that fill the gorge below the Falls. The ice is often 30 feet thick, and its surface is as uneven as it is possible. These so-called bridges can be crossed with safety. Sometimes they extend up and down stream for half a mile, and several winters it has J. H. ULLENBRUCH, •:• •f -j- ITCfo, ©ptictan.

The ice that collects on the trees is formed by the spray freezing layer by layer, and is very hard, and pure white, and glistens in the sunlight with exceptional brightness. No such ice scenery — on the banks for long icicles, in the river for ice jams, on the trees for delicate and fantastically shaped ice tracery — can be found elsewhere Numberless accidents have happened at Niagara — suicides, murders, drowning, over the Falls etc. One or two accidents are specially mentioned in this work, but it would be useless to give a full list of even known accidents. The number of those who have taken the fatal plunge at night unseen, save by the " Eye that sleepeth not," can neveV be ascertained. Some years there will be no known accident ; again, there have been twelve in a single season. A famous accident was that of July 19, 1853. Early in the morning a man was seen on a rock in the American Rapids midwa\ between the Falls and Goat Island. He proved to be Mr. Avery, who in crossing the river had been drawn into the Rapids and caught there. People flocked from all over the country to see him Boats and ropes were lowered. Several boats were lost and two sank near him. Food was sent to him in tin cans. A raft was made and lowered, and reached him safely. He got on it and seized the ropes.

The raft tipped and he fell into the river and was carried over the Falls after an eighteen-hour struggle for life. Of late years we think accidents are fewer, and suicides much more three events here deserve n a passing mention. The first of these was the feat of walking across the river below the Falls on a tight rope, performed in 1858 by Blondin, a Frenchman. He first stretched his rope, a two-inch cable, across the river below the Old Suspension Bridge. About every eight fee. stays were attached to his rope, and running from each shore to near the centre of the span ; and at each point two ropes diverged, one on either side to the nearest bank. Across the rope at this point, and afterward at a point midway between the old Suspension Bridge and the Falls, he repeatedly crossed the chasm, performing tricks, at one time wheeling a wheelbarrow ; once carrying a man on his back ; once with peach baskets on his feet (this when the Prince of Wales was a spectator), and once in the night, when an attempt was made to light up the chasm. He carried a heavy balance pole, by which he steadied himself. He was a man of iron nerve, and could he have obtained permission, would have stretched his rope from the Terrapin Rocks to the opposite have assayed to cross the yawning gulf, and he probably would hi Since that time not less than three men and one woman have rope. — IT^MCRICAN FAt,L.J ore, and thus, : succeeded, rformed the f< the midst of the spray and rainbows. jf walking over the chasm on a tight 3cc (£ream So'ba, Bonbons i^"" (£I?ocoIate5 r\0 NOT FA IL TO GET A BOX FOR THE ONE YOU LOVE. 302 Main Street, BUFFALO, N.

Summer Tours down the St. Lawrence by Steam. In 1S73, a fellow, Belleni by name, stretched a rope from opposite the Clifton House to Prospect Park. Walking to the centre of the rope, he three times leaped off into space and sank into the river below, a distance of 200 feet. He had a rubber cord an inch in diameter and twelve feet long con- structed, one end being securely fastened to the rope. Holding the other end firmly in his descent the tension served to hold him in an upright posi- tion. The third time the cord broke and entangled his feet, so that below water he was tightly bound. He sank so deep that he nearly suffocated. He was picked up by the boat which was in readiness, but. in an exhausted condition. In 187S, after duly advertising the fact, a man named Peer dropped from the centre of the New Suspension Bridge into the river. The platform bv which he hung by h'S hands while posing himself is still attached to the bridge be>ond the rail in the center of the bridge, on the side towards the halls He performed the feat in safety. ,oUnU„Joi.fj But the most daring feet was that performed June 15, 1S61, by J. R. Robinson, a brave and noble man, and one whose name for deeds of daring and for assistance rendered to men who dangered in the Rapids of the Niagara will ever be fondly cherished here. In 1S46, a small steamer, called the " Maid of the Mist," was built below the Falls, and made regular trips up close to the Falls and back. In 1854, a larger and better boat, 90 feet long, was built, and continued the business successfully. In 1861, being restricted to the Canadian shore for passengers, she did not pay, and as the Sheriff was about to levy on her for debt, it was necessary to get her away. There was but one route. But who J would pilot her? No one but Robinson, and he agreed to deliver her at Lake Ontario, and he did. Two men went with him, and on the date above they started. In the Whirlpool Rapids the boat was terribly battered, and her smokestack torn off. the men being knocked down and powerless. When she reached the Whirlpool, Robinson seized the tiller and, before she was sucked into any of the eddies, guided her into the outlet, whence ng, dashing waters she sped like a bird, and reached et waters in safety. Robinson is said to have received ces during the 20 minutes intervening between leaving id their arrival at Lewiston.

Y cerning Niagara's fallen estate, and from this conversation is reckoned the beginning of official action towards bringing about a better state of things. The idea was first publicly spoken of by Lord Dufferin in a speech delivered in Toronto before the Ontario Society of Artists, on September 26, 1878. In the following October, subsequent to the conversation with Governor Robinson referred to. Lord Dufferin formally brought the matter to the attention of the New York State authorities in a letter to Governor Robinson, who laid the project before the Legislature in the fol- lowing January, and recommended the appointment of a com- mission to consider the subject. A commission was accordingly appointed. Its report recommended the acquisition of the lands adjoining the Falls, and the appointment of a commission to take the necessary legal measures. Canadians are justified in claiming for Lord Dufferin the credit of being the agitator of the free park idea; Americans may continue to maintain that Governor Robin- son deserves the honor of taking the first step to make the Falls free. As a matter of fact, all that either of them did was to become impressed (rather tardily than otherwise) with the public sentiment in the matter, and to recommend legislative action. Lord Dufferin urged the matter upon the Provincial Government of Ontario ; Governor Robinson brought it before the Legislature of the State of New York ; and the slow machinery of legislation was fairly set at work on both sides of the river. Strange as it may seem, determined opposition was encountered, both in the form of private interests and legislative indifference.

GOAT ISLAND.— The '• Goat Island Group," so-called, consists of a large island standing on the verge of a cliff over which the cataract pours, and dividing the river in such a manner as to form from its waters two Falls — the one being known as the " Aimi-ican," a.nA the other as the " Horseshoe or Canadian Falls." a.nA includes several other smaller islands, notably Bath Island, Luna Island, Terrapin Rocks, Three Sisters Islands, and ten others not yet accessible by bridges. Goat Island was, in ancient times, one of the favorite burying grounds of the ndians, and yet preserves traces of their funeral rites. It was particularly revered as the spot where chiefs and noted warriors were buried. Crossing the first bridge, from which, both up and down stream, is to be had one of the grandest views of the Rapids, you reach Bath Island, some two acres in e.xtent A few rods below and near the Falls is Chapin Island so called because a man of that ESTABLISHED JULY'^I, 51879.

Advancing for a few rods through the forest, you reach one of the most charming views of Niagara. Descending the stairs on what, from its shape, is called " Hog's Back," you stand next to the Little Fall, beneath which is the famous Cave of the Winds ; and crossing the little bridge at your right you reach Luna Island. From the further point, protected by an iron rail, we see the most desirable near view of the American Falls and Rapids — which are so close that it is possible to dip the hand into the rushing tide passing over the verge. Here, too, one gets an excellent view of the debris of rock and shale deposited by the action of the torrent at the foot of the American Fall, and also a fine perspective of the gorge bel This spot is called Luna Island, because the lunar bow is seen here to the best advantage. It has often been remarked by strangers that this island trembles, which is undoubtedly true; but the impression is heightened by imagin- ation. It was while climbing over the rocks directly under this Island that Dr. Hungerford, of Troy, N. Y., was killed in the-spring of 1839 by the crumbling of a portion of the rock from above. This is the only acci- dent that ever occurred at Niagara, by the falling of rock. LOUIS W. GAY, 34 and 36 Washington St., BUFFALO, N. Y.

On June 21, 1S49, the family of Mr. Deforest, of Buffalo, with a friend, Mr. Chas. Addington, were viewing the scenery from this point. The party in fine spirits were about leaving the island, when Mr. Addington advanced playfully to Miss Annette, the little daughter of Mr. Deforest, saying, " I am going to throw you in," at the same time lifting her over the edge of the water. With a sudden impulse of fear the child sprang from his hands into the river. With a shriek the young man sprang to save her, but before those on shore had time to speak or move, they had passed over the precipice. The young lady's remains were found the same afternoon in the Cave of the winds ; and in a few days afterward the body of the gallant but fated man was like- wise recovered and committed to the village cemetery. This is, perhaps, the most touching casualty that ever occurred at the Falls, Reaching the top of the bank, proceed straight ahead, and you soon catch the first glimpse of the "Horseshoe Falls," so called from its resemblance to that article.

Shortly after their erection, the well known Sam Patch, whose diving propen- sities made his name a household word, made his famous leap of loo feet into the river, in iSqo. Midway between the (cot of these stairs and the Canadian Fall he erected a scaffold 96 feet high, from which he made his successful leap. He repeated it successfully the same year ; then went to the Genesee Falls, at Rochester, and jumped and was killed. He never rose to the surface after lie jumped, and his body was not found for some days, and then miles away. After leaving the Biddle Stairs, follow the path along the bank, and you soon reach the spot where a huge slice of the land has fallen. One slide occurred in 1843, another in 1847. Within 20 years more than 20 feet in width and 400 feet in length have gone down. Proceed a little further and you stand above and in full view of the Canadian Fall. Go down the Terrapin rocks; it may be tiresome, but it will amply repay you. The bridge is subject to the action of the spray; care should be taken in crossing it. In the winter of 1S52. a gentleman from West Troy, N. Y., while crossing to the tower, fell into the current and was carried into the verge of the Fall, where he lodged between two rocks. He was discovered by two citizens, who rescued him by throwing out lines, which he fastened around his body just in time, and was hauled in almost senseless. He remained speechless for several hours after being taken to his hotel. As you stand inside the iron rail and overlook the vast gulf below, you are in the very center of the Niagara. The old Terrapin Tower, also called Horseshoe or Prospect Tower, of which we give an illustration, stood on these rocks. It was built in 1S33, of stones gathered in the vicinity. A round tower, 45 feet high, 12 feet diameter at base, and eight feet at top, with a gallery near the upper end — a rugged structure, in perfect harmony with its surroundings. It was blown up by J.

Its destruction was entirely unnecessary, and took away a charming feature of Niagara, which it is hoped may soon be replaced. Table rock, which fell in 1850, was directly opposite the Canadian Shore. You soon reach the Three Sisters Islands, which were connected with Goat Island by handsome suspension bridges in 1868, and which open up an entirely new scene. The grandest views of the Rapids to be found at Niagara are right before you. These islands offer, from their location, an unchangeable cool retreat in summer, with enchanting views of the scenery, the cascades under the bridges.

From the head of the Third Sister may be seen one continuous cascade, extending as far as the eye can reach from Goat Island across to the Canadian shore, varying from ten to twenty feet in height. From this miniature Niagara rises a spray similar to that of the great Falls. The " Little Brother," a small island at the foot of the Third Sister, has not yet been bridged. When you get back to Goat Island, you can return to the bridge by a short way by taking the road straight ahead through the woods. It is best, however, to see the other views, and to do this you turn to your right, and follow the road directly east. Here one sees how it was possible for the island to have reached a long way up stream, for a bar extends up between the currents for nearly half a mile, with a depth of water not over four feet. This also shows how it was possible for people to visit the island before the bridge was built. After leaving the head of the island, from the road bridge is a spring of cool water, situated ai the foot of of the Rapids through the trees and at their edge is fine. good view of the Rapids. Half way to the rhe path to it is easily accessible, and the view the well known Prospect Park. Its main entrance is a tasty structure. The point of land at the edge and brink of the Falls is called Prospect Point, and commands a fine view, which is the feature of the Park that we give in illus- tration. The point is care- fully protected by a hand- some stone wall running for some distance along the edge of the gorge.

NEW SUSPENSION BRIDGE.— Next in order comes the New Suspension Bridge, directly below the American and Canadian (Horseshoe) Falls. It was origin- ally built in 1S6S-69 with wooden truss and towers. In 18S4 new towers of iron were put in, and in 1S87-SS new cables, anchorages and steel truss were substituted for the original ones, making the entire structure actually new, and widened to allow the pass- ing of carriages. The length of span is 1,268 feefbetween towers. Height of road\ towers 100 feet. Length of cables between anchorages 1,840 feet. The er plished without interruption to travel.

This was at the point on the Canada side about ten rods below the Falls, and was simply a huge ledge of rock overhanging the precipice. One should visit Canada in the afternoon, for the sun is then at your back, and its full glory is thrown on the opposite Falls, and in the afternoon alone can rainbows be seen on the Canada side. CANADIAN ISLANDS.— Following along the river bank, one crosses to Cedar Island, on which is an observatory or pagoda, and skirling along the Rapids for about a mile, with as fine scenery as Niagara can afford, you reach the beautiful Clark Hill Islands, three in number, and connected by beautiful suspension bridges, erected in 1S7S.

Returning down the river along the ledge of the bluff for two miles or more, passing the Suspension Bridge, which carries us over to Canada, two miles further on we come to the New Cantilever Bridge. CANTILEVER BRIDGE. - This bridge was the first one of any magnitude ever constructed on the cantilever principle. It is a marvel of engineering skill. It was built by the Central Bridge Works, Buf- falo, N. Y., for the Michigan Cen- tral Railroad Co., and was designed - ^ ' I iif to connect the New York Central and Mull Kii> Lt u K i i I L -^ following accurate details of the dimensions, etc.: Length of bridge proper from center to center of end pins, 910 feet, divided intermediate span of ng feet. The towers are braced wrought iron structures, and rest on masonry piers 3S feet high. The foundations under the towers are of beton, eight feet thick, built directly on the rock, forming a uniform, solid and endurable mass. The trusses are two in number, 2S feet apart between centers; the panels are 25 feet long, excepting those of the intermediate spans, which are 24 feet, and the end panels on the shore arms of the cantilevers, which are 20 feet long. The depth of the cantilever trusses from the towers is 56 feet, and at the ends 21 feet at the shore ends, and 26 feet at the river ends. The structure has been proportioned to carry, in addition to its own weight, a freight train on each track at the same two cantilevers of 395 feet I^WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS PARK THE Whirlpool Rapids and Park is situated on the Canada side of Niagara River, just below the great Railway Suspension and Cantilever Bridges. The edge of the Rapids is reached by an INCLINED RAILWAY worked upon an exceedingly safe and simple principle. There are two cars connected by two endless steel wire cables, and are run by the weight of water. Having reached the edge of the Rapids by the means described, the visitor finds himself in the midst of a scene of wild grandeur which is almost inde- scribable. For nearly 400 feet the cliffs rise in a nearly per- pendicular line, and at their feet the wildly rushing waters leaping into the air to a height of thirty and forty feet, and dashing itself into white foam against the rocks, forms an ever varying scene which fascinates and holds spell-bound the beholder. Your visit to Niagara is not complete without this view, and that you may carry it away with you, we can make you an instantaneous photograph of yourself with the Rapids in the background — a souvenir of your visit to Niagara that will be a "thing of beauty and a joy forever."

Two means of access to the water's edge are provided, the first being a series of steps forming a long flight of stairs, and the other a unique inclined railway operating two cars, running by the specific gravity of water in the tanks under each car, filled from a spring at the top of the cliff, and emptied on the arrival of the cars at the foot of the incline. The ascent or descent is made in one and one- half minutes, the loaded car from above being the motive^power used to hoist the lighter car from below. The visit to this park, including railroad, costs 50 cents. Nowhere else can so perfect an idea of the enormous power of the river be obtained. Rushing through the narrow defiles, the water here meets with such restriction as to make it leap in some places to a height of twenty feet, the rolling surges of the stream being exactly similar to those of the ocean in a storm. It is also well to add here a brief mention of the excellent photographic arrangements of this Park. Persons or parties can here be photographed with the Rapids in the background, the picture making one of the most interesting and noteworthy obtainable. HOTEL PORTER, Niagara Falls, N.

WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS, AMERICAN SIDE.— The effect of changing the point of view- is nowhere better illustrated than in the case of the Rapids above named. Seen from the Canada side they have all the advantages of cool, shady walks and uplands as it relates to the position of the sun in the warmest portions of the day. But as seen from the American side they have a peculiar charm in the fierce glint of the sunlight illuminating the crests of the flood, and in the emerald and opal translucence of the waters as they pass in their swift career. When It is remembered that about 100,000,000 tons of water pass over the Falls every hour, and that this quantity is compelled to pass between steep cliffs to a point about two miles distant from the Falls, where the course of the river turns abruptly at an angle of 45 degrees, it will be understood, even by those who have never witnessed the scene, that such a terrific force must fearful commotion in its rocky bed.

HANGES have taken place since the French explorers, missionaries and traders made their way laboriously from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi, through lakes Ontario, Erie and Chautauqua. Now the traveller steps upon a train at Niagara Falls and is whisked along the riverside to Buffalo, thence by the shore of Lake Erie, in full view of that inland sea. past Silver Creek— the home of Kitty of Mr. Howells' "Chance .•Acquaintance"— and Dun- kirk, to Brocton in the vineland of Western New York Here the train turns away from the lake and begins to climb the range of hills which forms the water-shed between the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi. During this ascent of twenty minutes the tourist enjoys enchanting views of vineyard-clad hillsides, broad fields dotted with farm houses and villages, and the azure plain of Erie's waters with the Canadian shore dimly visible on the horizon. A few minutes run from the summit brings the train to the very shore of a charming lake, small in comparison with Erie yonder, ten miles away and seven hundred feet below, yet a good twenty miles long, in some places narrowed almost to the width of a small river but otherwhere spreading into broad bays with good stretches for sailing or steaming. On the shores of this twenty mile strip of water are various settlements which collectively offer all the pleasures {save the sounding of the sea,) which lure people from home. " A city upon a hill " is Mayville. the pretty village at the head of Chautauqua waters. By the lakeside the Chautauqua House opens hospitable doors. The high promontory, two miles below on the north shore, is Point Chautauqua, and the imposing structure which crowns it is the Grand Hotel. Across the lake is a grove-covered point, of which more anon. Scattered at intervals along the shores are quiet colonies. Maple-Springs, Whiteside's, Long Point, Bemus Point, where the lover of solitude may find a safe retreat. Near the foot of Chautauqua lies Lakewood, a beautiful " society resort," with well- kept lawns, handsome private cottages, and magnificent modern hotels, of which the Kent House and the Sterlingworth Inn are representative types. The character of the place and the tone of the society are quite in harmoiiy with the beauty of the grounds and the good taste of the management.

A half hour's steaming through the narrows or outlet, which calls to mind some portions of Florida rivers, brings the ourist to the pier of Jamestown, one of the most flourishing cities of Western New York. So ends the panorama of this Chautauqua Lake. But the power which has made Chautauqua a household word in this ind other lands emanates from the summer city three miles from the head of the lake. It is named (|f "hautauqua. There used to be many odd notions afloat about this summer city. Time was when people fancied it a " camp meeting," or a sort of boarding school for men and women, who were compelled to rise and go to bed by the stroke of a bell, who practiced all the austerities of life, frowned upon pleasure in every form, and gained their only recreation from an endless round of pious e.xercisesand profound lectures. Happily these deas — the result chiefly if flippant press correspondence and the \merican fondness for a joke— have given ilace to a better understanding of what Chautauqua is and aims to be. The name of Chautauqua has become associated with a system of educa- tion which has done much to aid the ambitious in self-imposed tasks. The principle now so generally accepted, that education is the privilege of all, young and old. Olean •:• House OLE^^^, :^. Y. Newly Refitted and Refurnished. CENTRALLY LOCATED. HEATED BY STEAM. H.

At night the grounds arc brilliantly illuminated by the electric light, and St. Paul's grove, in the midst of which stands the white " Hall in the Grove," the center of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, is lighted by flaring Athenian watth-fms. The Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Methodist-Episcopalians and United Presbyterians all have handsome and commodious club-houses, and other denominations have similar buildings in prospect. For the summer of 1891 Chautauqua offers educational opportunities and means of intellectual quickening to the people of the United States. Under Dr. W. R. Harper, of Yale, the linguist, is a complete college with professors from the leading Universities of the land. Here are classes in language, literature and science. Col. Francis W. Parker, of the Cook County Normal School, Chicago, 111., conducts a School of Methods for secular teachers. Under his inspiration, daily tasks in the class-room are no longer mere drudgery, but become the keenest pleasure, is studied carefully and critically under such well-known teachers as Prof, himself, and others. A Music School under the charge of Dr. H. R. Palmer of New York, assisted by men like W. H. Sher- wood, the pianist, I. V. Flagler, the organist, and J. H. Wheeler, the vocal teacher, offers complete courses in the theory and practice of music. Besides these regularly constituted departments, there are classes in Elocution and Oratory, the Delsarte system, Chiii.i Painting, Wood Carving, Industrial Drawing, Letter Writiiii; Shorthand and Typewriting, Penmanship and Book-keepiiu (_,, Photography and the like. But Chautauqua gives more than all these. In other ciiir-^ ij, public functions are limited to the care of streets, the supply "\ water, and the material welfare of the community. But Chau- )^ tauqua goes a step farther. The tax which is levied upon the j citizens is expended in providing lectures, concerts, entertain- • ments, free to all alike. Hither come men and women prominent ^ in all departments of life. William T. Harris, LL.
