INTRODUCTION. 
 An annually recurring problem to all classes of peo- 
 ple is, " Where shall we go this summer ?" To those 
 of ample means and unlimited leisure, the going out of 
 town Implies the shutting up of the winter home, from 
 . June to October, and the resumption of social gaieties 
 under new conditions and amid the delightful sur- 
 roundings of the fashionable resorts. While many set- 
 tle down as comfortably as possible in temporary homes 
 a still larger number flit like gay birds of passage from' 
 place to place, seeing everything worth seeing, meeting 
 every one worth meeting, and making the mountains 
 the springs, and the seashore alike contribute to their 
 pleasure. 
 
 A majority of people, however, have only a few day* 
 or a few weeks, at most, which they can claini for their 
 vacation, and how to get the greatest good out of the 
 smallest outlay of time and money, requires careful 
 study. Tire object of this Dictionary is to give prac- 
 tical assistance to every one, not only in the selection of 
 a place, or in laying out a careful itinerary for a trip 
 in any section of the country, but also to afford such 
 deflnlte information as may be successfully compressed 
 into the limits of a hand-book of convenient size as to 
 routes, distances, rates of fare, and the names, charac- 
 teristics and charges of hotels and boarding houses. 
 
 For the convenience of the public the work has been 
 sub-divided, first in order being a remarkably compre- 
 hensive compilation of all the places, large and small 
 
DICTIONARY OF SUMMER RESORTS. 
 
 Within a radius of one hundred miles— or four hours' 
 
 from City Hall ; this is followed by properly classified 
 Seashore and Inland resorts, while the Springs, with 
 their natural attractions and medicinal qualities, are 
 Riven by themselves. The index at the end of the book 
 enables one to And In an instant any resort which may 
 be desired, and the advertisements— which are a prom- 
 inent feature— also contain much valuable information 
 to those who would satisfactorily answer the questions 
 of " Where to go, how to get there, and what it will 
 cost." 
 
WITHIN FOUR HOURS OF 
 CITY HALL 
 
 Each of the hundreds of resorts In the country pre- 
 sents some particular claim which commends It to 
 public favor and support. A place which is popular 
 with one class is no less an object of dislike to another 
 class ; fortunately, nature has done things on such a 
 broad and liberal basis in this country that no part of it is 
 devoid of Its own flavor and individuality, and from 
 among the almost illimitable attractions offered, there la 
 some particular spot that exactly meets the tastes and 
 satisfies the requirements of every city toiler or denizen 
 of the town In search of summer rest and recreation. To 
 some this comes In the salt sea air, and the dash and 
 roar of the breakers ; to others it is only found In the 
 mental exhilaration and exaltation of life among the 
 mountains ; or It may be on the great lakes, or by the 
 fish-filled streams, in dark and odorous pine woods. In 
 roving far afield with rod and gun, and the careless 
 freedom of life In camp or cabin, or In the pastoral 
 peace and quiet of simple country homes. 
 
 It remains ordinarily for each to elect for himself to 
 which phase of Nature's temptations he will yield, for 
 It is left to the more favored few only to sample in suc- 
 cession, and during the same season, all the out-<rf-

 town delights. Surely a single resort that would afford 
 its patrons tlieir All of sea-shore, woodlands, mountains, 
 hunting and Ashing, boating and bathing, and every 
 phase of society from the most fashionable dissipation 
 to the extreme of rural simplicity, would suit every- 
 body. New York City is such a resort. You need not 
 smile at the suggestion. Within easy reach from City 
 Hall, by boat, rail, and stage, all these attractions are 
 at once accessible. Making some one of the many un- 
 surpassed hotels of the Metropolis your headquarters 
 for the week, fortnight, or month at your command, 
 and within distances from one to four hours away, there 
 are Inexhaustible opportunities forever-changing enjoy- 
 ments and attractions. Within the radius named lies 
 nearly all of Long Island, with Its ocean front and 
 Its shore along the Sound ; the Hudson River and the 
 Palisades ; the New Jersey coast and inland resorts : a 
 large part of Connecticut and a small slice of Massa- 
 chusetts. This chapter has been specially prepared 
 not only for the benefit of visitors to the Metropolis who 
 wish to see what there Is outside of it worth seeing 
 as well as the show places inside the city limits, but 
 also for the benefit and convenience of New Yorkers 
 who make such stay-at-home vacation trips as can be 
 compressed within the limits of a day, or two, or possibly 
 three, taken as business will permit. Care has been 
 taken to give precise Information, as far as possible, as 
 to routes, distances, hotels and expenses generally. 
 The list Is an extensive one and furnishes material for 
 programmes of exoursions of every description.

 Coney Island.— A watering place as well known 
 throughout the country as it is to New Yorkers them- 
 selves. Its history as a popular resort is of recent date. 
 Geographically it is the extreme Western end of a bro- 
 ken sandbar stretching along the South shore of Long 
 Island for a distance of about ninety miles. It is about 
 twelve miles from the Battery by boat, or nearly four 
 miles less in a bee line. The beach known as Coney 
 Island is about nve miles In length, and beginning at 
 the extreme Western end includes, in the order named, 
 the West End, or Norton's ; West Brighton, or Cable's : 
 Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach. Before ISTo 
 Coney Island was little more than a dreary stretch of 
 sand, with two or three cheap hotels, resorted to by 3 
 doubtful class, and reached by a single horse-car line 
 from Fulton ferry and a rickety steam-car line from 
 Greenwood cemetery. Another steam-car line 
 was built In 1874 from 20th street, Brooklyn, to 
 West Brighton Beach, and a large hotel and pavilion 
 were erected. The success of that enterprise settled the 
 future of Coney Island as the most largely patronized 
 summer resort on the Continent. To record in detail 
 what has been done since 1875 would fill a book. At 
 the present time there are eight or nine lines of railroad, 
 as many more of boats, not to mention the single line 
 of horse-cars, with a total capacity for transporting 
 over 150,000 people to the beach and taking them home 
 again the same day. Of hotels and restaurants there is 
 enough to supply a city of 150,000 inhabitants. Of tfea 
 four subdivisions of the Island, already given, each has 
 its own special »ttractions and its own set of enthusias- 
 tic and regular patrons. One cannot "do" C^uey 
 Island, however, without makiug the grand tour from

 end to end, and to facilitate this operation are carriages 
 on bire by tbe hour or day, backs constantly running at 
 extremely low rates of fare, and a steam railway from 
 Brighton Beach to Manhattan Beach— which makes a 
 small fortune for the company each season. At West 
 Brighton is an observatory, which was removed here 
 from the Centennial grounds in Philadelphia, three 
 hundred feet in height, from which a magniflcent view 
 is obtained. Here, also, is an iron pier, running a 
 thousand feet, or a fifth of a mile, into the ocean, at 
 which steamboats from New York land. On this pier 
 are saloons, a promenade and 1,200 bath-rooms. Near 
 by is the Sea Beach Palace (which was at the Centennial 
 exhibition of the United States Government), where an 
 excellent table d'hote dinner, including wine, is served 
 for $1. Brighton Beach is particularly affected by 
 Brooklyn people. The hotel is 525 feet long, and two 
 stories in height with spacious and airy piazzas.' The 
 upper floor is reserved for permanent patrons and 
 meals are served on the American tahle d'hot'e plan ; 
 2,000 peisons can be fed at a time. Manhattan Beach 
 hotel is the largest and most imposing structure on the 
 Island. It is 660 feet long, varying as to the number of 
 stories, and exceedingly ornate and florid in irs archi- 
 tectural style. Its prices and management are such that 
 It is mainly patronized by the best class of New Yorkers. 
 Near by and to the Eastward, is the Oriental Hotel, a 
 handsome, roomy and perfectly equipped establish- 
 ment for the special accommodation of families and 
 permanent patrons. Among the other hotels is Nor- 
 ton's, at the extreme West End ; Cable's and Vander- 
 veer's at West Brighton : Highland View, at the West 
 End, accommodations for fifty people at $10 a week, 
 children and servants half price, forty minutes from the 
 ferry by Gunther's Bath and Coney Island R. R.: Sea 
 View Hotel, accomodations for ninety people, $2 to $2,50 
 a day, $15 to $18 a week, half price for children and ser- 
 vants, 500 yards from the iron pier and 150 yards from 
 Gunther's Bath and Coney Island R. R. Generally 
 speaking, the cost of living at the best Coney Island 
 hotels is about the same as at the most expensive hotels 
 in New York ; there are plenty of less expensive places, 
 suited in price to the means of every class of visitors. 
 There are several excellent restaurants where 'the 
 prices are also about the same as Delraonico's or the 
 Brunswick in New York. Aside from the ocean and

 the crowd, there Is every conceivable sort of an attrac- 
 tion, including the best of instrumental music, after- 
 noon and evening,flre-works on special nights (for whicti 
 see advertisements in the daily papers), a salt water 
 aquarium, bathing, and games for the children. The 
 seasons opens about June 1st, and closes when the 
 weather has driven all the people away. One person 
 can spend a day at Coney Island and "see It all," in- 
 cluding lunch and dinner, for $3 to $5, going by boat 
 and returning by train, or vice versa, and two persons 
 can accomplish the same result from a total outlay of 
 $4 to $6. Steamers from New York leave from West 
 Twenty-fourth street. West Tenth street, Franklin 
 street, or Pier No. 2, at the Battery ; bonts leave on the 
 East side from Piers Nos. 33 and 9, Broome street and 
 Maiden Lane ; hourly trips and on Sundays about 
 every thirty minutes ; fare 25 cents, excursion 50 cents. 
 The fare, also, by nearly all railroads, or by boat and 
 rail, is 50 cents for the round trip from New York. 
 (For running of trains see advertisements in daily 
 papers. 
 
 Cornwall- on -Hudson, or Cornivall 
 liauding-, N. Y.— Situated at the point on the Hud- 
 son where the Highlands end, and where the river 
 broadens into the expanse of Newburgh Bay. It Is a 
 short distance above West Point, and perhaps the most 
 popular resort, particularly during the months of Sep- 
 tember and October, on the river. Some one has rightly 
 called it "the gem of the Highlands." The town itself 
 clambers over the side of a hill in a rambling, pictur- 
 esque sort of a way, and is in reality an aggregation of 
 resorts. Says an appreciative writer : "Here are the 
 most wonderful of drives; here mountains seem to pile 
 on mountains; here are wild glens, deep-down streams, 
 broad lakes, and spreading valleys. The chain of at- 
 tractions which begins with the Ramapo and ends at 
 the Hudson seems to be gathered into one grand, cul- 
 minating point at Cornwall." The place is as muca 
 renowned for its healthfulness as for the fact that here 
 are to be found in close proximity all the combined nat- 
 ural beauties for which the Hudson is world-famed. 
 Physicians now send patients to Cornwall for com- 
 plaints which were formerly thought could only And

 whose charming rural retreat "Idlewild," occupies a 
 sightly location. From the Storm King and Old Cro' 
 Nest, two famous crags, the country for miles around 
 Is spread out In a panorama of surpassing beauty. Tha 
 drives in the vicinity are among the most varied and 
 delightful imaginable, and the entire region is crowded 
 with historical and legendary interest. So favored a 
 spot has very naturally been selected as the place for 
 the homes of many people of wealth and reflnement, 
 which makes the permanent local society unusually se- 
 lect. The new carriage road to West Point, 
 opening the wild and beautiful scenery of the river 
 and West Point Mountains, is one of the latest at- 
 tractions. There are Episcopal, Presbyterian, Metho- 
 dist, Baptist, Quaker and Roman CatlioUc churches.

 Forts about Neiv York.— The fortifications 
 about New York harbor, on the islands and mainland, 
 commanding the approaches to the city, are well worth 
 a visit. From them all fine views are to be obtained,

 enjoyable and exhilarating steamboat ride by which 
 several of them are reached. Fort Hamilton Is also

 the water at this point being known as the Narrows, 
 and on the Staten Island side Fort Wadsvvorth stands 
 guard. The military reservation at Fort Hamiltoa 
 covers 96 acres, is 47 feet above low water mark, the 
 fort itself being a stone casemated structure. Reached 
 by Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn, from thence by horse cars 
 to Greenwood and thence by dummy engine. Fort 
 Lafayette is directly west of Fort Hamilton on an 
 artificial Island in the Narrows. Its construction is of 
 brick casemates, and it is now in a very dilapidated 
 condition. It was originally called Fort Diamond, was 
 begun during the war of 1812, but was not garrisoned 
 till 182:3. In the war of 1861-65 it was utilized for the 
 Incarceration of politic^al prisoners, many persons of 
 prominence having been confined there. December 
 1, 1868, the fort was partially destroyed by fire and the 
 damage has not been repaired. The buildings whi(;h 
 remain intact are used for the storage of ordnance 
 supplies. There is no regular ferry or other boat plv- 
 ing betweep the island and the mainland. Fort Wads^ 
 worth, formerly called Fort Richmond, on the east shore 
 of Staten Island, is a triple casemate of granite, but 
 the name also includes Fort Tompkins on the hili above, 
 the latter looking down on Battery Hudson, and a 
 long line of water batteries. The government reserva- 
 tion contains 100 acres of very rugged land. Fort 
 Wadsworth standing at the head of a sharp declivity

 structure of gneiss. . The reservation of 52 acres was 
 purchased in 1826, work on the fort was begun in 183:3, 
 and it was first garrisoned In 1861, The McDougal

 Is only reached after a good climb, one can look up and 
 down the Hudson, the boats at the foot of the cliff beiii)? 
 reduced to the dimensions of toy craft; the wooded 
 stores on either side are channing-, while far to the 
 south is the bay, with the shore lines of Jersey City, 
 and the spires and taller buildings of the great metropo- 
 lis fading away In the distance. The view alone would 
 repay one for a longer trip tlian the exceedingly diver- 
 sified and agreeble boat-ride of something over an 
 hour, while the surroundings include the varied attrac- 
 tions of boating, fishing, swiraming, romantic rambles 
 through the woods, and along the top of the Palisades, 
 carriage and horseback riding, or picnicing al frozen 
 in sequestered retreats either along the shores or under 
 the shelter of the trees. The historic interest in the 
 place is due to the fact that here was the site of a fort 
 commanded by General Greene, dnring the Revolution- 
 ary war, but which was occupied by the British after 
 its evacuation, four days subsequent to the surrender of 
 Fort Washington. For a long time Fort Lee has been a 
 favorite point for excursions, but its natural attractions 
 and historical interest have been supplemented by a 
 large and handsome hotel, built on the bluff above the 
 pier, there being a conunodious pavilion at the landing. 
 Hotel and pavilion are owned and conducted by the 
 " tort Lee Park and Steamboat Company." The rooms 
 are tastefully furnished and the rates are reasonable. 
 The restaurant hall accommodates 2,500 persons.* The 
 bill of fare, both at the hotel and resstaiirant, is excep- 
 tionally good, the service is much better than one usu- 
 ally finds at so popular a resort, and the prices are 
 moderate. A dinner eaten from the balcony of the 
 hotel, with the luxuries of charming views, artistic 
 music by the orchestra, and a cool breeze, makes this 
 an experience one should not fail to enjoy. Unless one 
 can amiably endure the annoyances of a very large and 
 very mixed crowd, it is better not to visit Fort Lee on 
 Sunday, and a late afternoon boat on other afternoons 
 for the casual visitor is most desirable. Many of the 
 best families of New York, however, make the'ir sum- 
 mer home at the hotel. For children and others 
 who care for such things, there are merry-go-rounds, 
 swings, shooting-galleries, refreshment booths, jug- 
 glers, and sid«! shows innumerable. Reached by three 
 line? of boat*, leaving hourly during the day and early 
 evening, starting from Canal street, North River, and

 lage. There are, also, schools for boys and girls, and a 
 well-conducted hotel, where one can be made entirely 
 comfortable, either for a transient visit or for a summer 
 residence. It is generally supposed that the body of the 
 naerchant prince, A. T. Stewart, the stealing of which 
 from Its grave, In New York, created such a long-lived 
 sensation, is now safely at rest in the crypt of the 
 cathedral. Reached by ferry from James Slip, East

 Tvar It was prominent In many ways although, by 
 some curious neglect. It appears to lack the couven- 
 tional Washington's headquarters. Many families of 
 wealth have their homes here amid surroundings ot 
 combined luxury and natural beauty. Noah Webster

 campaign of 1880, when General Winfleld Scott Han- 
 cock, Major-General in command of the Department of 
 the Atlantic, was the Democratic candidate for Presi- 
 dent, his residence on Governor's Island has possessed 
 a national interest, as well as military importance. The 
 Island contains 65 acres, is about a mile and a quarter 
 in circumference, and is less than three-quarters of a 
 mile south of the Battery. It is divided from Brooklyn

 Long Beacb, Ij. I.— This Is one of the new sea- 
 side resorts on the Long Island shore, lying immedi- 
 ately east of Rockaway. The hotel, opened two years 
 ago, is very commodious and comfortable. Connected 
 with it are a number of cottages. There is the usual 
 s-a view, surf bathing and salt water fishing. The 
 prices at the hotel are sufficiently high to keep away all 
 except a well-to-do class of excursionists and patrons, 
 which fact has given the place a reputation for being 
 rather exclusive and select. Reached by ferry from 
 James Slip or East Thirty-fourth street to Long Island 
 City, thence by trains of Long Island Railroad, distant

 liOiig Branch, N. J.— A summer "city by the 
 sea," and one among the favorite resorts which is better 
 worth visiting for the varied study in human nature 
 which it affords than for any intrinsic attraction 
 beyond that of the ocean. For a long time the Branch 
 —so called from a small " branch " or stream which 
 runs parallel with the shore line and empties Into 
 Pleasure Bay— was a fashionable resort, and it still 
 draws a good many prominent people annually ; but the 
 b^'tter class of its movable population are the residents 
 of the cottages. The most select of all, however, are 
 the cottages at Elberon, south of Long Branch (whic-h 
 «ee). Long Branch is the favorite resort with theatri- 
 cal people, and some of the hotels are mainly patron- 
 ized by wealthy Hebrews from- Philadelphia and New 
 York. The original and permanent village of Long 
 Branch is about a mile from the Branch, the first settle- 
 ment having been made in 1734 by four persons from the 
 then province of Rhode Island. Hotels for summer 
 visitors were first built early in the present century, 
 and at the present time are to be found in great num- 
 bers, of aU sizes, and at prices to suit the means or 
 every one. Surf bathing holds a prominent place in the 
 programme of a majority of visitors, while driving 
 along Ocean avenue late in the afternoon is another 
 thing that every one who wishes to be in style must do. 
 
SCHOOLEY'S MOUNTAIN, 
 
 New Jersey. 
 
 The Oldest and Healtliiest Summer Re- 
 port in tlte United States. 
 
 One of the buildings of the Hotel Is reserved exclu- 
 sively' for adults. 
 
 This delightful Mountain Retreat demonstrated Its 
 popularity last season by the almost unprecedented 
 number of visitors who crowded Its hotels to their ut- 
 most capacity. One of thejnrincipal attractions of the 
 place is its Remarkable Heal tli fulness. 
 
 There is not another Summer Resort on the continent 
 that can produce such a record for health and longevity 
 as Schooley's Mountain exhibits in the statistical re- 
 ports. 
 
 The Drives In the vicinity are delightful, the scen- 
 ery picturesque and beautiful, while all the surround- 
 ings are peculiarly adapted to recreation and enjoy- 
 ment. 
 
 The Famous Mineral ^prinss are but a half mile 
 from the hotels, and have long been favorably known 
 to the public. 
 
 In the immediate vicinity of the hotels are a number 
 of shady ravines and waterfalls, where the student of 
 Nature may commune with his thoughts, and where the 
 poet may find inspiration. 
 
 Schooley's Mountain Is but fifty miles from New York 
 by the Delaware & Lackawanna Road, and three and a 
 half miles from Hackettstov^'n, where stages are in wait- 
 ing to convey visitors to themountain, or bv Central R. 
 R. of New Jf rsey, from foot of Liberty street to German

 voyager. They are on the New Jersey mainland, in- 
 side Sandy Hook, and about 25 miles from the city,

^LAKEWOOD, N. Y.^ 
 
 Lake Chautauqua. 
 
 This favorite resort is now entering upon its nintli 
 season, and continues to liold its place in the front rank 
 oi Siunnier Resorts. 
 
 To those who seek rest witliout stagnation, pleasure 
 without excitement, the delight of rural life without its 
 inconveniences, and the charm of dwelling beside a 
 large body of water, Lakewood recommends itself 
 strongly to favor. A more beautiful spot would be hard 
 to find. With its picturesque cottages surrounded by 
 trees ; its velvet lawns sloping down to the Lake ; the 
 church with its spire ; the great hotels with their cool 
 and shady verandas ; and the Lake in the foreground, it 
 presents a perfect picture of rural loveliness. 
 " Here be woods as green as any ; 
 Air likewise as fresh and sweet 
 As where sjnooth zephyrs play on the fleet 
 Face of the curled streams ; with flowers as many 
 As the young Spring gives, and as choice as any ; 
 Here be all new delights, cool streams and wells, 
 Arbours o'ergrown with woodbines, caves and della; 
 
 Choose where thou wilt." 
 The rapid multiplication of Summer Resorts is one of 
 the encouraging "signs of the times" in our busy, adven- 
 turous life. We are pursued in our ways by what Bayard 
 Taylor once called ''the American demon of haste." We 
 live too fast, work too fast, eat too fast, and we rest and 
 sleep too little, and as a cozisequence die suddenly. More 
 holidays and vacations— especially in the enervating 
 summer months— is what we need. The notable increase 
 among us of sudden deaths in all our great centres of 
 trade and commerce. Is to be largely attributed to this 
 unceasing toil in which so many engage. To all who 
 feel the need of rest and recreation, and >vho believe it 
 to be a duty to themselves and families to preserve their 
 health and lay in a store of vigor from the exhilarating 
 influences of a delicious climate, we can cheerfully rec- 
 ommend Lakewood, Lake Chautauqua. A week or two 
 in the summer spent in drinking in the balmy air of this 
 inland lake, which sweeps in purity over the great lakes 
 of the west, impregnated with the health-giving ozone, 
 together with the woodland rambles and excursions 
 amid the beautiful scenery of this region, will be an in- 
 vestment that will assuredly "pay." The time will prove 
 all too short for the enjoyment which may be secured ; 
 and the new life and vigor which will flow into the or- 
 dinary cliaiinels after this e.xperience will be a constant 
 and welcome reminder of Chautauqua days. 
 LAKEWOOD, originally called " Lake View," from the 
 
extensive view of the Lake and its surroundings to be 
 had from this vicinity, is directly on the line of the 
 
 New L'ork, Peun. & Oltio Railroad, 
 
 on the soutliern border of Lake ChautauQua, and is not 
 reached by any otlier railway. The through New York, 
 Niagara Falls, Boston and Saratoga Express trains pass 
 directly through this beautiful and popular resort, and 
 all trains stop regularly at Lakewood Depot to deliver 
 and take on passengers. Conductors are instructed to 
 give stop-over checks on all through tickets, whether 
 reading good for stop-over or not. This should be un- 
 derstood as giving passengers the right to reach Lake- 
 wood in through cars, and when they are ready to re- 
 sume their journey, they can step right into one of 
 
 PULLMAN'S PALACE 
 
 Draiviiig Room or Sleeping Coaclies, 
 
 and go through to 
 
 NIAGARA FALLS, SARATOGA , 
 
 NEW YORK or BOSTON. 
 
 This cannot bie done by any other route, as no other 
 road runs tlirough cars or I'alace Sleeping Coaches to or 
 through any place on Lake Chautauqua. 
 
 The visitor to Chautauqua who stops at Lakewood, la 
 not cut off from the outside world, but has the same 
 railroad, postal and telegraph facilities as at home. By 
 leaving Cincinnati, Chicago or New York at night, you 
 are landed at Lakewood next day in time for dinner.

 Rockaway Beacli, L.. I,— This is a narrow strip 
 
 of land, about 7 miles in length, lying east of Coney 
 Island, and between Jamaica Bay and the ocean; 26 
 ;ni!es from New York by rail and about the same dis- 
 tance by water. After Coney Island came in vogue, a 
 vigorous attempt was made to popularize Rockaway, it 
 being claimed that its distance from the city gave it 
 the advantage of greater selectness as to the char- 
 acter of its visitors. Extensive improvements were 
 made,including the construction of an iron pier and the 
 building of an enormous hotel. The hotel, v/hich is in 
 the shape of a letter E, with the unbroken front to the 
 ocean, is 1,140 feet, or nearly one-quarter of a mile in 
 length, with an average depth of 70 feet. At different 
 parts the building is four, seven and eight stories in 
 height; it contains 1,200 rooms,and Its mammoth dining 
 room will seat 6,000 persons at one time. The Company 
 owns 2,000 acres surrounding the hotel, which is the 
 largest building of the kind in the world, and in front 
 of it is a music stand of light and graceful construction, 
 where a band plays afternoon and evening. One of 
 the leading attractions at the hotel is the promenade 
 afforded by the mile or more of verandas, from which 
 a magniflcent view of the ocean is obtained. Although 
 practically completed three years ago, ov/ing to various 
 legal and financial causes, it was only partially thrown 
 open to the public late in the season of 1881. The iron 
 pier is 1,200 feet long, by 30 feet in width, and is used 
 for the landing of passengers when the weather is fav- 
 orable. There is a heavy surf along the beach, which, 
 while it adds to the exhilaration of a plunge in salt 
 water, has made the stretching of life lines indispen- 
 sable. To the eastward of the great hotel are several 
 distinct settlements, all strung together for a distance 
 of three or four miles by scattering restaiu-ants, bath- 
 ing establishments and places of amusement. The 
 walk along the beach on a pleasant day affords a va- 
 ried and animated spectacle, which fully repays for the 
 slight fatigue incurred. At the extreme eastern end, 
 known as Far Rockaway, there are several good hotels 
 where board can be obtained from $8 to $15 a week. 
 With Jamaica Bay on one side and the ocean on the 
 other, Rockaway has the triple advantage of bathing.

 boating and fishing in great variety. At the numerous 
 small hotels and restaurants a specialty is made of 
 clams and flsh, which are usually well cooked, although 
 sometimes served In a decidedly primitive style. 
 Whether by rail or by boat, the trip to Rockaway is 
 Inexpensive and agreeable. A pleasant combination la 
 to go by one route and return by the other ; on the 
 boat an unsurpassed view of the harbor and its Islands, 
 the Narrows and the entire stretch of coast from Norton's 
 Point (Coney Island) to Rockaway Is obtained. On the

SEASIDE RESORTS. 
 
 There is no coast in the world more divers! aed In Its 
 conformation, or affording a greater variety of seaside 
 Kcenery, than that which marks the Atlantic boundary 
 of the United States. From Maine to Florida there is 
 a constant succession of natural attractions, as multi- 
 farious as the moods of old ocean itself in its everlast- 
 ing protest against the "thus far and no farther" of 
 the broken but impassable barrier of the shore line. 
 The hydropathic survey of the Maine coast alone shows 
 that to follow all its indentations from New Brunswick 
 to New Hampshire, one must travel as long a distance 
 as to go from New Yoi'k to Liverpool— nearly three 
 thousand miles. 
 
 To one "who nature loves in the grandest of all her 
 moods, where grandeur most doth dwell," the ocean, 
 in its battles with the storm king, is a spectacle that 
 never loses its awful and weird fascination ; nor is it 
 less attractive when, as some one has apostrophized it: 
 '• Now beat about by rude waves, 
 Borne along the pris'ning shores 
 That cast thee back again on thine own self, 
 Thou leav'st thy tiny treasures strewn about— 
 Mementoes for the hands of those that thou hast 
 
 wooed 
 To bear aw^ay, that they may keep thy memory fresh, 
 E'en as a human lover sacred keeps ^ 
 
 Each relic of a human love."

 mations. " Comparing this great natural curiosity with 
 others of the same class," says the report of a party 
 sent out from the Smithsonian Institute, "It is safe 
 to say that there Is probably no other cave In the 
 world more completely and profusely decorated with 
 stalactitic and stalagraitic ornamentation than that of 
 Luray." The Cave is illuminated by an electric light.

 Its streets that Stonewall JacKson passed In making his

THE MINERAL SPRINGS. 
 
 From the Bible days down to the present, the inhabi- 
 tants of the earth have sought healing in the waters 
 which promised cure of or relief from their myriad ail- 
 ments. The Spas of Europe have been patronized by 
 all classes, from peasant to princes, for centuries. It 
 has been discovered that in the new world we possess 
 waters of the same curative qualities, and, in some 
 Instances the properties of certain springs produce 
 even happier results than have been credited to the 
 older Spas of the continent. New springs are being 
 discovered or brought into notice nearly every season, 
 but none can rival for popular favor the long-popular 
 Saratoga, the marvelous Hot Springs of Arkansas, the 
 Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs of West Virginia, "the 
 Saratoga of the South," while other less prominent but 
 no less beneficial springs by the score furnish healing 
 for t!ie nation. To give much needed information to 
 those who desire to select the water best adapted to 
 their individual ailments is the object of this chapter.

 Mont Eagle Springs are situated on Cumber- 
 land Plateau, in Marion County, Tenn., six miles 
 north of Sewanee, fifteen miles from Cowan, seventy- 
 nine miles from Chattanooga, and one hundred and two 
 miles from Nashville. To enumerate all the points of 
 interest and natural beauty round and about Mont 
 Eagle would be an almost limitless task; we name 
 some of the most attractive. Satterwhite's Ravine, 
 about two miles east of Mont Eagle Springs, is a rough, 
 romantic gorge, down which a mountain stream rushes 
 in fantastic and brawling eddies. The ravine is flanked 
 by almost perpendicular walls of stone, fully two hun- 
 dred feet high. The scenery here is of varied and con- 
 trasting beauty. At the head of Satterwhite's Ravine 
 may be found the Mont Eagle Falls, the most picturesque

 cataract imaginable, plunging headlong fully sixty feet 
 Into a circular rock basin below. The water takes on 
 extraordinary opalescent hues, and it resembles a 
 cascade of liquid translucent gems. The magniQcent 
 shades of foliage, which are reflected frona Lae over- 
 hanging trees on the cliff and the sides of the 
 glen, heighten these lovely effects, and give 
 to the eye a glorious satisfaction. Lillian cascade, a 
 beautiful brooklet about a hundred yaidss from Mont 
 Eagle, comes trickling down over a natural stairway 
 of perfectly regular rocks, giving a succession of forty or 
 fifty distinct falls. This is a picturesque gem well 
 worth visiting. Will's Point, about a quarter of a mile 
 from Satterwhite's Ravine,is a bold, romantic column of 
 sandstone ; is imposing as the celebrated Castle Heidel- 
 berg, and quite as romantic as the famouu Ehreubreit- 
 stein on the Rhine. A short distance from here is the Elen- 
 ore Cascade, a lovely little waterfa'l. Four miles from 
 Mont Eagle is situated Alpine View, accessible over a 
 lovely mountain road. From this point one may look 
 down many hundreds of feet, and observe one of the 
 most wonderful landscapes in the western world. The 
 lovely valley cutting into the heart of the plateau, the 
 majestic rampart of bold, steep mountains, the rocky, 
 precipitous edge of the table land, wtiich forms the 
 eastern boundary of this valley, and the glimpses of 
 cultivated fields of primitive homesteads and domestic 
 life, make this one of the most strikingly beautiful 
 scenes that can be imagined.

THE VIRGINIA SPRINGS. 
 
 Of all the attractions, material and otherwise, with 
 which Virginia was favored, none have been better 
 known to the outside world than the mineral springs. 
 Noted as the " Mother of Presidents," and of historical 
 interest in every part, it would not be exceeding the 
 truth to say that the grand old State is also the Sanita- 
 rium of the Republic. Virginia and West Virginia 
 divide the honors, as they did their territory, as to the 
 variety of their springs and the great range of benefi- 
 cent effects which are obtained by a use of their waters. 
 Owing to the always beautiful and not infrequently pio- 
 turesque scenery and surroundings of all these springs, 
 they are as much patronized by those in search of recre- 
 ation as by those whose health consigns them to such 
 agreeable treatment. In no part of the country can one 
 obtain more of genuine pleasure, or real benefit, than 
 at the Virginia Springs, which, owing to their Impoit- 
 ance, and for the convenience of the reader, are clas- 
 sified by themselves,
