THE Unadilla Valley is one of the most beautiful Valleys in central New York. It is high in altitude and free from malaria, mos- quitoes and insects. While the days are warm the nights are cool. The air is refreshing and exhilarating and equal to that of the Berkshire Hills in Massachusetts, and just the thing to build up exhausted and tired people. The country is freely watered with rivers, trout streams and mountain springs. The grass and verdure is of a deep rich green, and the valley is filled with song birds and wild flowers. The drives are numerous and the roads excellent. The Summer service on the Unadilla Valley Railway will com= prise trains most favorable to the needs of Summer Residents, coming from far distant points. Richfield Springs, Cooperstown, Binghamton and Utica all of easy access, Utica distant eighteen miles. The country lying along the line of the Unadilla Valley Railway, consists of some bottom land and then on the sides rolling hills and mountains. There are numerous hamlets and villages at which board can be obtained at extremely reasonable rates. The products of the country are mainly dairy products, this section of the country being one of the chief sources of the milk supply of the State, hence, first-class milk, cream, butter, cheese and all farm products can be easily obtained at very reasonable prices. The Unadilla Valley Railwa)^ connects at New Berlin with the Ontario & AVestern Railroad, and at Bridgewater with the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. The Unadilla Valley is just the place for those who are seeking rest and health during the Summer months. Forty miles of good boating on the river, and numerous ponds and lakes in the vicinity for fishing purposes. TO MANUFACTURERS. Look for sites on which to locate 3^our manufacturing plant along the Unadilla Valley Railway. Abundant water power and cheap labor, coal cheap.

A glance at the following pages will suffice to show that many of the most famous resorts in these States are directly on the Lackawanna Line, so that special allusion to them is unnecessary here. A description of each place is given, much space being devoted to such among them as rank as summer resorts of national fame. The illustrations herein contained are reproductions of photographs taken from scenes along the railroad, and are of a miscellaneous character. A feature that will commend itself at once is the exhaustive list of routes and rates that is given, and which can be utilized in connection with tickets purchased via the Lackawanna road; and those in search of rest, recreation or sport, have only to glance over these pages, and from among the many mountain, lake and river resorts described, as well as those where wealth and fashion reign supreme, select a place to their taste. The Lackawanna penetrates a section of country so well diversi- fied and so picturesque, that any person who has an appreciation of the Creator's handiwork, as displayed through almost the entire region traversed by this road, will be apt to reflect before making a choice. Great care has been taken in the compilation of this book to guard against discrepancies, and it is offered to the public as a reliable guide and work replete with interesting reading. The Company feels assured that the public will appreciate the effort that has here been put forward, and presents it to that public with the compliments of the Passenger Department.

ON LEAVING New York City, the traveller by the Dei^aware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad is carried across the Hudson by well-appointed ferry-boats, lighted with electricity, several of which are double-deckers with spacious upper and lower cabins. The boats depart from the ferry at the foot of Barclay Street, making the trip across in twelve minutes, and from that at the foot of Christopher Street, which is directly across from Hoboken, in but five minutes. The Company's new terminus at Hoboken is a model of artistic beauty. The station is Gothic in design, with long sloping roofs, and on the Northern side has a high, narrow tower, which adds greatly to its attractiveness. The general waiting- room is both large and airy. The natural-wood ceiling is supported by carved beams and arches, and the whole interior is of light wood, varnished and decorated. On the East side is the ticket office ; on the South side is a room for ladies and a smoking room for gentlemen. On the North side are entrances for Hoboken patrons, as well as for those who cross from New York by the two ferries. A good restaurant, where a buffet lunch can be obtained, is provided in the waiting-room, and confectionery, fruit, etc. , is obtainable at the counter adjoining. The baggage-room is on the north-west corner, and passen- gers and others will always receive prompt and polite atten- tion and answers to inquiries from the employees in that department. Experienced and well-posted ushers are stationed at the doors through which passengers pass to the trains, These men give the inquirer any information concerning the arrival and departure of trains, and, before the departure of each train, call out the names of all the stations along the route at which stoppage will be made. The above-stairs portion of the station contains the head- quarters of this railroad's branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, which are fitted up attractively. The room con- tains a rostrum and chairs enough to seat a large-sized audience. Meetings and entertainments are held at regular intervals, and much good results thereby to the employees. The conductors have a comfortably appointed room adjoining, and a furnished reception room. Baths, hot and cold, are provided. There is also a room in which all the men can meet for social intercourse, reading, playing games, etc. The large train-shed contains nine tracks, all of which are kept occupied the greater part of the time by the incoming and outgoing trains. It has been the policy of this Company to abandon regular train service on Sundays, and this has been found to work to the best advantage. By this policy the men are enabled to The Hall Block Signal. jg DELAWARE. LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. gain the rest which, it is believed, all men should have the Seventh Day, and fhey are better fitted to render more faithful service as a result. Only newspaper and milk trains are run on Sundays, and this cannot very well be avoided. The motive power and rolling equipment of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western are of the most approved types. The locomotives are built for speed, and with a view to hauling capacity. Spark arresters and extension fronts are being applied to all of those engines that were built prior to these innovations in modern mechanics, and all new engines are fitted with these appliances when built. In addition each engine is equipped wdth the " Blizzard " engine lamp for classification service. The Company is so rapidly replacing all its old passenger coaches with new cars, that scarcely any old rolling stock is now in use. These new coaches are mounted on trucks having steel-tired paper wheels. The exteriors are painted in the Com- pany's standard color, dark green, while the interiors are finished in polished mahogany, and have comfortable, high-backed seats, upholstered with maroon plush. The Com- pany has adopted the Piutsch system of car lighting. Each car is fitted with globes con- taining four burners, from which a clear, white, brilliant light is obtained, which en- ables passengers to read in any part of a car without straining the sight. The illuminant is supplied from the plants at Hoboken and Buffalo, and is carried beneath the cars in tanks that are recharged when necessity re- quires. It is the opinion of experienced travellers that no railroad in this country runs better equipped, or has more easy riding cars than these ; and all trains are protected at the rear by two utility side tail lamps, well elevated, thus securing the longest possible range for the rear danger signal. On all through express trains the modern vestibule attachment is used, and Pullman's best drawing-room parlor and sleeping-cars are run. The Lackawanna is a double-track ; line to Buffalo, and is the shortest route running between New York and that city. The road-bed is heavily ballasted with gravel \nd sand, and is of unusual firmness. The heaviest steel rails are used 1*0 accommodate the additional weight of the constantly inproving motive power and rolling stock. By reason of these improvements travelling on this line is accompanied with all the elements of comfort and ease available, a result of skillful engineering and car building, and this is materially added to by the utilizing of anthracite coal in the locomotives, which affords greater immunity from the inconvenience caused by sparks, cinders, dust and smoke than the use of bituminous coal. noRRis fii!5 Essex Division. FROM HOBOKEN the Morris and Essex Division extends westward. One line runs by way of Morristown, taking in the most beautiful and healthful resident- section of Northern New Jersey. The Boonton Branch diverges in a northerly direction after leaving the big Bergen tunnel at West End, touching at Paterson and Boonton, crossing the former line at Denville and again connecting with it at Dover, from which places both lines are operated as one westward to Washington, Warren County, N. J., seventj^ miles from Hoboken. The first station in New Jersey, beyond Hoboken, is HARRISON. Altitude, 29 ft. 7 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 15 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 25 cts. Formerly this place was called East Newark. It is situated in Hudson County, and borders on the Passaic River. Manufacturing industries hold sway here, and the town is better known thereby than otherwise. Across the Passaic River, which is spanned by a new iron girder railroad bridge, is NEWARK. ■ Altitude, 38 ft. 8 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 15 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 25 cts. This city is the commercial metropolis of New Jersey. It is situated on the west bank of the Passaic River, upon which craft of all kinds ply, and affords important communication with New York through Newark Bay and Staten Island Sound. Newark is one of the oldest cities in the State. It covers a large area in Essex County, and ranks as one of the most important manufacturing centres of the United States. Its iron and leather industries are of great commercial importance. The population is over one hundred and eighty thousand. Broad Street, running north and south through the city, is one of the most attractive thoroughfares in the country, containing many great business houses, elegant residences, and churches. Washington Park and Military Park, with their numerous stately elms, are the pride of Newarkers. High Street is famous for the beauty of the architecture of its numerovis costly residences. The extreme northern, southern and western sections of the city are largely occupied by residences, and Newark lays just claim to having clean and well-main- tained streets throughout. The famous Passaic River course, where the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen occasionally settle their battles for supremacy, is situated here, and the course is known as one of the best used for rowing contests. It is decidedly pictur- esque on the Kearney side of the river, and at intervals, along both shores, the boat-houses of the various clubs are located. All conveniences that any first-class city boasts of can be had here. These include gas, electric light, fine hotels and boarding-houses, good street car systems, theatres, athletic clubs and churches of every denomination. The drives in all directions are pleasing. 30 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. Newark, too, is a healthful and well-governed city. Its death rate is low, and epidemics seldom prevail. Several first-class papers supply the news daily. The society of the city is most refined, and includes a number of the most famous families of New Jersey. The Hall Block Signal. ROSEVILLE AVENUE. Altitude, 143 Jt. 9 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 15 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 25 cts. Formerly Roseville was a suburb of Newark, but the phenomenal growth of that city caused it to be included in its territory. It is wholly a resident section, and stands high and dry at the summit of the heaviest grade on the division. The houses are tastefully built, nearly all of them having gardens around them. Roseville Avenue is destined to become the most thickly settled part of the city, and residences are increasing with a rapidity worthy of a western boom. At this station the Bloom - field Branch leaves the main line. The first stop is at SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 21 WATSESSINQ. Altitude, 135 ft. II miles from New York ; Single ticket, 23 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 40 cts. Here there is but a small settlement and a few farms. This is a congenial spot for quietude, and the residents have all the desirable elements of sociability. An important and progressive village just beyond it is BLOOMFIELD. Altitude 124 ft. 12 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 25 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 45 cts. The history of this town is associated with Revolutionary times, and it is among the best known places in the State. Although the enterprise of modern civilization has imprinted itself in every section, yet there are some old-fashioned houses and other landmarks which serve to remind one that Bloomfield was on record a century ago. At the head of the park stands the old church, a sacred pile, that for more than one hundred years has stood to the glory of God. For many years this has been the favorite resort of summer visitors. It is rich in its arboreal growth, has the fine roads, good society, and all the elements that arise from thrift and progressiveness. Bloomfield is the home of many prominent business men, and the residences, in many instances, are both sumptuous and costly. Adjoining Bloomfield, and but one mile beyond it, is QLEN RIDGE. Altitude, 170 ft. 13 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 27 cts. : Excursion ticket, 47 cts. It can be consistently said that this is one of New Jersey's beauty spots. Built, as it is, upon a hill, which commands a charming view of the surrounding country, an attractiveness is given it that favors but few places in this region. Ten years ago Glen Ridge was little more than a wooded slope. Wealth and enterprise have developed the available acres, and the work of improvement is still progressing. This is a village of handsome residences, grassy lawns, park-like estates, and fine roads. The residents, for the most part, are New Yorkers, and these have all the push that characterizes the wide-awake Gothamite. Glen Ridge is a pleasant and a convenient spot in which to spend a summer. The last station on the branch is MONTCLAIR. Altitude, 239 ft. 14 miles from New York ; Single 'ticket, 30 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 50 cts. Montclair (often called the Athens of New Jersey), lying on the eastern slope of the Orange Mountains, is unsurpassed for beauty of situation and healthfulness in the vicinity of the metropolis. The majority of the residences command magnificent views of New York harbor and the surrounding country. The population is ten thousand, and the town is growing rapidly in a very sub- stantial way. The public schools are excellent, and there is a military academy and several private schools. The churches represent all the denominations. The water supply is excellent, and the town enjoys all modern improvements. Three newspapers record all local matters of interest. Movtntain Avenue, running at the base of the mountain from the Orange line to Upper Montclair (3>^ miles), dotted by magnificent residences, is said to surpass any avenue or street in the vicinity of New York. 22 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. Montclair cannot be seen, to be appreciated, in an hour or two. One must pene- trate its by-ways and shaded avenues to realize how miich nature has done for this terraced hamlet. About two-thirds of the roads are macadamized, and it will only be a matter of a few years when they will all be so. This town may be recommended as desirable in every way, as a place of residence. VERONA AND CALDWELL are villages beyond Montclair, which are not on this line of railroad, but communi- cation with them is attained by a stage route that connects with all Lackawanna trains at Montclair. The stage fare is lo cents. Mention is made of these places, as they are wddely known and appreciated for their remarkable health-possessing qualities, and the picturesqueness of the sur- rounding country, together with their adaptability for summer residence. Returning again to the main line, the next station beyond Roseville Avenue is GROVE STREET, EAST ORANQE. Altitude, 133 ft. 10 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 20 cts.; Excursion ticket, 30 cts. A town of phenomenal growth and rich with prett}' homes. The streets are uniformly laid out, paved, curbed, and have flagged sidewalks. A feature of the place is that the houses, for the most part, are built separately, and have spacious lawns, neat gardens, and beautiful shade. The streets, too, are lined with spreading shade trees. There are churches of all denominations within easy reach. The near- ness to Newark and New York makes Grove Street a particularly desirable place of residence or temporary sojourn. EAST ORANGE. Altitude, 172ft. ioy2 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 25 cts.; Excursion ticket, 35 cts. The same may be said of Bast Orange as has been said of Grove Street. In reality the former may be called the town proper, as many of the large stores that supply residents are located here. No more bustling little place exists on the line. It has all the elements of enterprise, including water, electric light, etc. , schools, churches, social clubs, etc. The Orange Athletic Club, known the country over, has fine grounds located here in the vicinity of the railroad station, and the drives which extend in all direc- tions are as delightful as they are varied. BRICK CHURCH. Altitude, iBoft. 11 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 25 cts ; Excursion ticket, 40 cts. Years ago, before the Oranges gained the enviable distinction they now possess as places of residence, an old brick church marked the place surrounding which this delightful town has been built. The name, therefore, for some reason, has clung to it. Years ago the name may have been appropriate, but to-day it has no special significance bej^oud that it recalls memories of times gone by. Brick Church may be said to be in the heart of the Oranges. There are but few luxuries obtainable in a large city not available here, and this town long since established for itself a reputa- tion for being a most desirable one of residence. Here, situated on Prospect Street, is the beautiful home of the Orange Club, the principal social organization of the Oranges, and also the Orange Athletic Club House, which is both artistic in design and spacious. SUMMKR EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. -"^ ORANGE. Altitude, 185 ft. 12 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 25 cts.; Excursion ticket, 40 cts. The city is located on a plain, almost level, and in all New Jersey no more delightful one can be found. Along the main avenue stores of all kinds do a thriv- ing business. Electric and other street cars run to nearby points, so that great convenience in that respect is always at hand. The streets of the city are uniformly laid out and delightfully shaded. The private residences have spacious lawns about them, and many of the structures are marvels of architectural beauty. Electric lights and good water are among the luxuries. The city supports an opera house, and two or three newspapers. Churches of all denominations raise their spires in all parts of the town. The system of schools is as perfect as can be found anywhere. A charm about the city is the high mountain range that skirts the western boundary. The range is called Orange Mountains, and is a spur of the Blue Ridge. It runs toward the northeast, and slopes gracefully toward the valley in which the city is partly located. At the summit of the mountain is located Llewellyn Park, laid out with every elegance of taste and effect in artistic landscape gardening. It contains the homes of wealthy people, and is acknowledged to be the most magnificent spot in New Jersey. Near by, from Eagle Rock, a view of 25 miles around the country can be had. Thomas Edison, the "wizard of electricity," has a fine home in the park, as also had the late General McClellan. The side of the mountain is flecked with imposing residences and finely laid out grounds, among the oldest and finest being that of the Essex County Country Club, whose historic house and beautiful grounds make it one of the most charming countr}- clubs in America. HIGHLAND AVENUE. Altitude, 182ft. 13 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 30 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 50 cts. A few years ago this section of the Oranges was called " Valley Station," because the business portion lies in a valley. The name, in a sense, was misleading, because the side hills afford a most beautiful residence section. In addition to being a most desirable place in which to reside, Highland Avenue has a commercial importance. Its hat industry is very extensive, and the quality of the hats made ranks favorably with that of manufacture elsewhere. An incline railway near here conveys passen- gers to the summit of the Orange Mountains, and a ride on it is an enjoyable experi- ence. MOUNTAIN STATION. Altitude, 156ft. i^yi miles from New York ; Single ticket, 35 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 55 cts. There is a vast difference between this and its nearest neighbor. While High- land Avenue is really a very busy place. Mountain Station is the opposite. Essentially a town of homes it is picturesque in the extreme. Nature has been allowed to hold sway to a very large extent, and a feature that will impress the visitor most favorably is the magnificent shade that makes congenial the summer months. To the north the valley reaches out until the mountains are met, and is dotted with pretty residen- ces. To the south the hill rises gradually from the railroad station, and residences with park -like grounds are to be seen in all directions, and extend along westward until they unite with SOUTH ORANGE. Altitude, 139ft. 14 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 40 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 60 cts. The Oranges terminate here after occupying five miles of territory. South Orange is an important place, because it is the terminus of a number of express and accommodation trains to and from New York. Like the other towns it is famous as a place of residence. Churches and schools are in plenty, and good local government 24 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. Tennis Court, South orange Field Club. LOOKING South, South Orange Field Club. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. -"-> is a feature that recommends it. The drives about South Orange are romantic, and good roads are the rule. The "Field Club," an organization that needs no introduc- tion, is favorably known wherever outdoor sports are discussed and indulged in. The club-house and beautifully laid out grounds, between Mountain Station and South Orange, are in plain view of passing trains, and here the wealth and beaiity of the united Oranges meet in season to enjoy some of the best contests in the State. The club-house is equipped with all the appurtenances of a first-class club, to- gether with the necessary conveniences of one devoted so largely to field sports. The grounds, twelve acres in extent, include a quarter mile bicj'cle-track, three baseball diamonds, eight tennis courts, two football fields, croquet grounds, quoit courts, trap shooting, etc. From early summer till late in the fall, open tournaments are held in all out-door sports, in which the prominent amatetir athletes of the country participate, and the bicycle and foot races, tennis and trap shooting contests, attract widespread attention. A most interesting feature connected with the Field Club is the opportunity it affords to all its members for indulging in out-door sports and games. " Business men's " contests in baseball, tennis, quoits, etc., take place during the season, and only those are allowed to compete who have never acquired much skill in such sports. The prominent athletes have their opportunity in the open tournaments. Further, the children of members have exceptional facilities for innocent and healthy amuse- ment in the grounds, and are afforded every protection by the keepers in charge. The Field Club is essentially a family club, and is readily taken advantage of by .all who are attracted to South Orange and its vicinity, and as a family summer resort it is ver}' popular. In winter part of the grounds are flooded, and good skating is enjoyed. HAPLEWOOD. Altitude, 131 ft. 16 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 45 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 65 cts. A very pretty spot for persons who delight in beautiful scenery is Maplewood. Its location, at the base of the mountain, gives it a wild charm. As yet the village has not developed to any great size, but it has several pretty cottages situated on well-made streets, and here there is plenty of shade. The scenery about Maplewood is charming. It has excellent water, fine drives, and pure mountain air. For a sum- mer vacation spot, it ranks among the most desirable places. WYOMING. Altitude, 160 ft. 17 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 50 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 70 cts. Wyoming is a charming little town, situated right on the side of the mountain. At this point the " first mountain " turns directl}' northward. Here are many beautiful homes, with spacious grounds, in the midst of a high-wooded slope, where all is wild and picturesque. The scenery from Wyoming is charming, and never grows tiresome. There is not an objectioual feature in the town or neighborhood. It is essentially a home-spot, and persons who go there never regret it afterwards. niLBURN. Altitude, 148 ft. 17 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 50 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 75 cts. This is an old-fashioned town with quaint houses, whose style of architecture suggests a half-century or more ago. It even possesses the conventional mill-pond, which adds to its antiquated appearance. Milbttrn has always been a popular place for summer boarders. It is surrounded by farms, and has good boarding-houses in town. An excellent supply of water is one of the essential features of the place. 26 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. and the well-cared-for roads are known all over the State. The terminus of the Milburn bicycle course is here, and in the season wheeling never ceases. SHORT HILLS. Altitude, 206 ft. iS miles from New York ; Single ticket, 55 cts. ; Excursion ticket, So cts. Short Hills has one specialty to recommend it. As a place of residence it is charming. Situated in a large park, the residences, all of which are palatial, occupy plots, around which wind smooth, macadamized roads. There are no fences round- about, and every house has a well appointed stable attached. The aim of the indi- vidual who established Short Hills has been carried out well. It is for homes only, and not a single place of business is connected with it. A few years ago this charm- ing spot was but a wooded slope. Enough of the grand old forest trees have been preserved to afford a pleasing shade, that in summer almost hides the houses from view. HUNTLY. Altitude, 306/t. 20 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 55 cts.; Excursion ticket, 80 cts. A little station on the mountain, established to accommodate the few people who reside there. A fine view of the valley can be had here, and on a clear day New York Bay is visible. SUMMIT. Altitude, 383 ft. 21 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 55 cts.; Excursion ticket, 80 cts. There is no place on this line that can lay claim to more advantages than Sum- mit. As its name implies it is situated on the brow of the second mountain, and is reached after the hard climb of a grade that begins at Milburn. This village has developed solely on its own merits. Its growth has been strong and so far shows no signs of abating. Backing the development of Summit are men of wealth and thrift, and the houses that are in course of erection are attractively laid out, and its macadamized streets are of the finest and most elaborate kind. At pres- ent there are over fifty of them. Owing to its altitude Summit is a bracing spot in which to spend the summer. The air is always fresh and salubrious, and on that account persons afflicted with pulmonary troubles have made it their permanent home. In summer the population generally doubles. All the hotels and boarding- houses, of which there are many of the first class, are full, and the place presents a lively appearance. Many of the permanent residents rent their homes for the season, and there is often more demand for these than supply. Looking northward from Summit is a magnificent view of the Passaic Valley and Blue Ridge Mountain, and towards the southeast, Brooklyn, New York Bay and Staten Island can be seen. The drives through the valleys and over the mountains are magnificent. Churches of the Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Catholic faiths abound. The social centre is the Casino Club, to which is attached a theatre, bowl- ing alley, etc. This centre is made up of the prominent men of the place and is well patronized. The fresh air home, so well known, and with which many benevolent women of Summit are identified, is situated on Stony Hill, south of Summit. The town is lighted with gas, and has a new and excellent sewerage system ; it is also supplied by the Commonwealth Water Company with pure water drawn from springs in the mountain. At Summit the Passaic and Delaware Branch diverges toward the west and runs for 21 miles throitgh a valley of unsurpassed beauty and loveliness.

The ridge that skirts the village on the east is from whence the place is named. Several elegant homes of New Yorkers are situated here and the view is extensive and very fine. The country is fertile and is studded with many prosperous farms. BERKELEY HEIGHTS. Altitude, 226 ft. 26 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 75 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.10. Until very recently this place was unimportant. A company having purchased a tract of land, has parcelled it out in building lots and laid out streets, and Berkeley Heights is soon destined to become a thriving spot. GILLETTE. Altitude, 213 ft. 27 miles from New York ; Single ticket, S5 cts.; Excursion ticket, I1.15. A quiet agricultural settlement surrounded by hills and containing charming patches of scenery. It is also a line farming country and a healthful place for summer boarders. STIRLING. Altitude, 22/ ft. 2%y2 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 90 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.20. This place is associated with revolutionary history by having been named after Lord Stirling. Along the ridge of Long Hill are several pretty residences. The view 28 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. Passaic River. of the valley for miles east and west is one of the best in Morris County. Man}- of the residents find employment at a silk mill near by. Aside from this, agriculture is the principal pursuit. MILLINQTON. Altitude, 274ft. 30V2 miles from New York; Single ticket, 95 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.25. This is one of the most picturesque spots on the branch. The Passaic River winds around big bluffs and through fertile meadows here and gives a charm to the surroundings seldom met with in a region of this kind. Several persons have taken advantage of the picturesque surroundings to build handsome houses. The drives about Millingfton are interestinsr and the roads srood. LYONS. Altitude, 305 ft. 32 miles from New York ; Single ticket, |i.oo ; Excursion ticket, $1.30. Lyons and neighborhood is devoted to agriculture Though small and of little commercial importance, it is a splendid place wherein to spend a summer, as the sur- roundings are healthful and, here, farm life can be enjoyed without stint. BASKING RIDGE. Altitude, 373 ft. 33 14 miles from New York ; Single ticket $1.05 ; Excursion ticket, Si .40. This is one of the most widely known antiquated towns in the State and may justly lay claim to be reckoned among the best. An old-fashioned style pervades SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 29 this place which is full of odd buildings and quaint people. In the church-yards there are buried persons whose descendants reside in the vicinity and many of these headstones date back over loo years. As a summer place of residence Basking Ridge will be found to be full of interest and very bracing. BERNARD5V1LLE. Altitude, 366ft. 35 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $i.io ; Excursion ticket, $1.45. This attractive place, situated as it is in the midst of the Somerset County Hills, is frequently alluded to as the "Alps " of New Jersey and the name is not misapplied. Bernardsville is famous as a health resort, and so popular has it become that several prominent families in New York own estates and spend their summers here. The estate of J. Coleman Drayton is acknowledged to be one of the finest in New Jersey. This entire section is charming, abounds in wild scenery, and is breezy and salubrious throughout the summer months. The mountain roads are hard and lead in all directions through prett}' villages and a fine farming section. A summer spent here invariably creates a desire to repeat the experience. Within the past two years the branch has been extended seven miles further, taking in the towns of MINE BROOK. Altitude 215 ft. yiYo miles from New York; Single ticket, $1.20; Excursion ticket, $1.60. FAR HILLS. . Altitude, i6oft. 39 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.25 ; Excursion ticket, $1.65. PEAPACK. Altitude, 190 ft. 41 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.35 ; Excursion ticket, |r.8o. GLADSTONE. - Altitude, 230 ft. 42>< miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.40 ; Excursion ticket, $1.85. The general character of all these places is similar. The region, on account of the lack of railroad facilities until recently, is undeveloped. Peapack is quite a town. The Rockaway Valley railroad touches here on its way between Whitehouse and Mendham, and these two lines are destined to build up this spot. Gladstone is an old place with a new name, and is a town that has made great strides since it obtained railroad facilities. The region is well adapted to summer recreation, as the drives are good, and many interesting places are near by. Returning to the main line the next station beyond Summit is NEW PROVIDENCE. Altitude, 271ft. 22 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 60 cts.; Excursion ticket, 95 cts. The village lies back about a half a mile from the station. It is a farming region and quite popular with city people, who find it a pleasant spot in which to spend the summer season. CHATHAH. Altitude, 231ft. 24 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 65 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.00. This ancient town has always been held in high esteem by those who return every year to spend the summer. It has much to recommend it. The Passaic River flows through it, and affords good fishing and boating ; the drives through the valley and 30 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. over Long Hill are delightful. The Chatham Fish and Game Protection Association, which has recently erected a handsome Club House here, looks after the fish and game in the vicinity. Stanley, situated south of Chatham on the eastern slope of Long Hill, is a set- tlement of pretty homes, and, from its location, a grand and ever-changing panorama of the valley of the Passaic spreads out before the eyes. On account of the scenery from Long Hill, this locality has become popular. DREW Seminary, Madison, N. J.— Entrance to Grounds. HADISON. Altitude, 245ft. 26 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 70 cts.; Excursion ticket, |i.io. This enterprising town has for the past three years been prospering under a borough government. It has a Mayor and Town Council at the head of its affairs ; it also possesses excellent water and electric light systems, and all the comforts of a large city are available. Here, building is very active and it promises so to coutinue. Madison rejoices in four churches and the Webb Memorial Chapel, an imposing edi- fice, built and presented to the town by James A. Webb, Esq., a prominent and enter- prising citizen. This place has been known as a health resort for a long time, and, on that account, may well be commended. It is noted for the number of its elegant residences, many of which are surrounded by large estates. Mr. H. McK. Twombley is now laying out, at enormous cost, over 200 acres as a park, and when the work has been finished it will prove one of the finest estates in New Jersey. The town itself is in a valley, and on both sides of the long sloping hills pretty homes are located. The view from these hills across the Passaic Valley is one of the features that captivates the seekers of suburban homes. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 31 Drew Theological Seminary, in the immediate vicinity, is well known and is visited by persons from all parts. Good roads and picturesque drives make Madison a pleasant resort for city people during the summer months. CONVENT. Altitude, 379 ft. 28 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 75 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.15. The Convent of St. Elizabeth, a large educational institution conducted by Sis- ters, is located in plain view of the [railroad, and from this the station derives its name. nORRISTOWN. Altitude, 326 ft. 30 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 80 cts.; Excnrsion ticket, $1.25. This old town, so prominently associated with the history of the Revolutionary War, scarcely calls for any introdtiction here. The place may justly lay claim to never having rested ttpon its past record. Ever since chosen as the headquarters of the Continental Army by Washington, its fame was established, and the associations of those stirring times of our nation's history are still cherished by the descendants of many of the gallant soldiers who took up arms and fought for their independence under the leadership of General Washington. Not the pages of history alone point to Washington's association with Morris- town, but his headquarters, situated on an eminence in the northern part of the city, have been preserved, and since they came into the possession of the State, more land has been added, which has been laid out in beautiful grassy lawns, and broad paths skirted by shade trees. Cannons that have, from time to time, been used in defence of the nation, and which were individually presented, are mounted and frown threat- eningly around the quaint old building. The national emblem is spread to the breeze daily, not only to indicate the spot, btit also to show that the patriotism of our fathers is still ablaze in the breasts of their descendants. From the address of Hon. Theodore F. Randolph, on opening of this building to the public, July 4, 1875 : "During the summer of 1873, this property, so long and widely known as the old headquarters of Washington, was offered for sale. A few gentlemen concluded to purchase it, and having done so, formed a society now known as the Washington Association of New Jersey, the principal object of which is to perpetuate this house with its great historic associations, and to gather within these walls so large and in- teresting a museum of articles connected with the Revolutionary and other history of the Colonies, that this old mansion, rendered immortal by the name of Washington, shall become a Mecca toward which all Americans will turn their steps and obtain, as from a fountain, inspiration to patriotic life and purpose. Under this roof have been gathered more characters known to the military history of the war of the Revo- lution than under any other roof in America— a fact not generally known. Here, the elegant and brilliant Alexander Hamilton lived during the long winter of 1779, and here he met and courted the lady he afterwards married, the daughter of Gen- eral Schuyler. Here, too, were Green, the splendid fighting Quaker, as he was, and the great artillery of&cer Knox, the noble La Fayette, the stern Steuben, the polished Kosciusko, the brave Schuyler, gallant Light Horse Harry Lee, old Israel Putnam, mad Anthony Wayne, and that brave soldier, but rank traitor, Benedict Arnold. Here, too, from time to time, gathered prominent members of the Continental Congress and Statesmen of that day. This dwelling was also, for many months, the home of Martha, the wife of George Washington. Within these rooms, with quiet dignity and grace, she received her husband's guests. Never idle, she set a constant example of thrift and industry. In front of this house, in j^onder meadow, lay 32 DE;lAWARK, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. WASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS, MORRISTOWN, N. J. P. S.— This Building is the old Ford Mansion about which so ranch is told in Lossing's Field Book and History of the Revolution. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 33 encamped Washington's body guard — originally a selected troop of about one hun- dred Virginians. Day and night they kept watch and guard over these headquarters and the precious lives it contained. Many were the plans, and several were the attempts by the enemy to pierce to this old house and to the powder-mill in its rear, and thus at one blow destroy all hope of successful revolution. Had this house been once successfully attacked, and its inmates taken, America's Revolution would, in all probability, have been known to history as America's Rebellion. But, among these hills of Morris no Briton's foot ever trod in Revolutionary times save as a prisoner." Fort Nonsence, where Washington's guns were planted, is at the summit of the highest hill in town. There a survey of the valley and surrounding country was made and a careful watch kept for the appearance of the enemy. The site of the old fort is marked by a slab bearing a suitable inscription. Morristown now has a popu- lation of nearly 10,000 and is governed by a Mayor and Common Council. Every convenience that other cities afford is available here. The avenues are broad, delight- fully shaded, and well maintained. Some of the most magnificent residences in the country are located here, and they may be found in all parts of the city, on the neighboring hills, and in the suburbs. This entire region is a sanitarium, and no more healthful spot can be found. The population is made up largely of wealthy New Yorkers, and in summer it is the most sought-after resort within the same dis- tance from New York. Manufacturing is not permitted within the city limits. The Green is a public park occupying an entire square. It is shaded by stately elms, and is divided into fine walks. An elegant soldiers' monument stands on the west side of the Green. The drives for miles around are most beautiful. Pocahontas Lake is a pretty sheet of water within the city limits, and contains bass and pickerel. It affords good sport for the angler, and the catches are often large. Speedwell Lake is another pretty spot, situated about a mile outside of the city toward Morris Plains, and offers inducements to fishermen who wish to try their skill. Mendham is seven miles from Morristown, and stages connect with all trains to carry passengers there. It has the distinction of being located in the heart of the mountains, and there is scarcely a cooler or more bracing spot in all New Jersey. It is renowned as a healthy spot, and also for the long extended view over valley and lower mountain. This place is nothing but an old-fashioned village, filled with quaint houses, honest people, fertile farms and perpetual happiness. If Mendham had first-class railroad facilities it would prove a dangerous rival to all other places in the State within the same distance from New York. In the warmer months it is filled with summer boarders, and its attractions are almost without limit. MORRIS PLAINS. Altitude 403 ft. 33 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 90 cts. ; Excursion ticket, $1.35. Many people regard this as being the most beautiful spot along this line. It derives its name from the fact that the town is built on a high plateau, surrounded on the north and west by mountains. Summer here is delightful, on account of the breeze having a clear sweep across the plain. The soil is sandy, and within an hour after a heavy shower is very often as dry as though there had been no rainfall. For this reason the entire section is remarkably healthful. The roads are splendidly kept up, and driving is a luxury. A mile back [from the station an imposing building stands ; this is the State Hospital for the Insane. Morris Plains is composed nearly entirely of fine buildings, owned and occupied by well-to-do citizens. There is a small lake within the village limits, where boating and fishing can be enjoyed. 34 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. Interior, Washington's Headquarters.

MOUNT TABOR. Altitude, 531 jt. 36 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $i.oo ; Excursion ticket, $1.40. Mount Tabor has become famous on account of the annual gathering of the Methodists, who hold their camp meeting exercises here, and enjoy a quiet sociability in accord with their religious precepts. It is one of a number of picturesque peaks that jut out from the Blue Ridge Mountains. The mountain slope is dotted here and there with pretty cottages owned by members of the Methodist faith, and occu- pied by them nearly all summer. Life here is calm and enjoyable, and the place is restricted against all nuisances and disorder. DENVILLE. Altitude, 520 Jt. 37 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $[.oo ; Excursion ticket, $1.50. This is a quiet farming district, of few inhabitants, and for a person of an agri- cultural turn of mind it may well be recommended, for here all its attendant luxuries, such as fresh eggs, milk, etc., can be had. A short branch road connects here with Boonton, and the run between these points occupies but fifteen minutes. ROCKAWAY. Altitude, 556 ft. 39 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.05 ; Excursion ticket, $1.60. A good deal of life is to be found in this bustling little village of manufacturing industries. Rockaway is prettily situated, partly in a valley and partly on a side hill. The Rockaway River flows through it, lending to the picturesqueness of the place. The village boasts of several good stores, and in summer is a favorite spot in which people can spend a summer vacation. The attention of the reader is now directed to the Boonton Branch, which meets the Morris and Essex division at Dover, the next station beyond Rockaway, where both lines continue westward as one. After leaving Hoboken, the first station west of the Hackensack River, is KINQSLAND. Altitude 25 ft. 8 miles from New \''ork ; Single ticket, 25 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 35 cts. Noted principally for being the place at which the Company's machine shops are located. The village is thrifty, and of steady growth. It contains many farms, and some pretty cottages. LYNDHURST. Altitude 34 ft. \ 9 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 30 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 40 cts. The country about here is attractive, and the pretty village that is growing about the railroad testifies to its healthy popularity. A ver)- pleasant summer can be spent here in driving and roaming about the country. DELAWANNA. Altitude, 53 ft. 10 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 35 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 45 cts. A qtiiet spot, of great beauty, and few inhabitants, bordering on the Passaic River, which at this point assumes a picturesqueness that at once charms the newcomer. Boating, bathing and fishing are among the pleasures peculiar to this place. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 37 PASSAIC. Altitude, 97 ft. 1 1 miles from New York ; Single ticket, 40 cts. ; Excursion ticket, 55 cts. Passaic is one of the three important cities on the branch. It contains a popu- lation of over 20,000, and is a thriving city, where enterprise carries everything before it towards prosperity. The city contains many miles of broad, well-shaded streets, and is famous for the large number of its elegant residences. No city in New Jersey has enjoyed a more wondrous and continuous growth. Here are churches of all denominations, a theatre, athletic clubs, etc. Although Passaic is a city, it attracts hundreds of city people each recurring summer. CLIFTON. Altitude, 121ft. 13 miles from New York; Single ticket, 45 cts.; Excursion ticket, 65 cts. The village of Clifton lies to the eastward of the railroad, and is as pretty and well laid out as any in the State. It is noted for the number and variety of its shade trees, and the quiet character of its inhabitants. PATERSON. Altitude, 188 ft. 15 miles from New York; Single ticket, 50 cts.; Excursion ticket, 70 cts. Paterson is called the " Lyons of America," on account of its immense silk indus- tries. It is one of the largest cities in New Jersey, and in the importance of its in- dustries probably ranks second; principal among these is the building of locomotives. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad runs along the western section of the city, and plaj's an important part in its commercial welfare. A tour of the manufac- tories is not only interesting but instructive. The high falls of the Passaic, famous throughout the country, are also worthy of a visit on account of the great beauty of Nature's handiwork. WEST PATERSON. Altitude, i88 ft. 16 miles from New York; Single ticket, 50 cts.; Excursion ticket, 70 cts. A suburb of Paterson, just outside the city limits. LITTLE FALLS. Altitude, iSjft. 19 miles from New York; Single ticket, 65 cts.; Excursion ticket, 80 cts. This pretty little village, the honors of which are divided between manufacturing and agricultural pursuits, can be cheerfully recomended as a place of resort, at once pleasing and refined. Here all the comforts of country life await the stranger, and the fertile farms that dot the valley supply vegetables, milk and eggs in abundance. Little Falls turns out a great amount of carpeting every year, and the falls here are the attraction of the manufacturer. The angler, too, can enjoy himself, and, if for- tune favors, may find good luck in casting his line in the Passaic; black bass fishing is not only good at this point, but the place is also known as being one of the very best along the river. The angling grounds are above the falls. MOUNTAIN VIEW. Altitude, 175ft. 21 miles from New York; Single ticket, 70 cts.; Excursion ticket, 90 cts. The name of this spot originates from the fact that it is in full view of the Blue Ridge mountains. It is a farming country whose chief attraction is pure air, beau- tiful scenery and good drives. B8 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. LINCOLN PARK. Altitude, 174ft. 23 miles from New York; Single ticket, 75 cts.; Excursion ticket. 95 cts. WHITEHALL. Altitude, 221ft. 26 miles from New York: Single ticket, 80 cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.05. nONTVILLE. Altitude, 309 ft- 28 miles irom New York; Single ticket, 8d cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.15. These three villages have the same character as Mountain View, and are all desir- able places in which to spend the summer mouths. BOONTON. Altitude, 411 ft. 30 miles from New York; Single ticket. So cts.; Excursion ticket, $1.25. Boonton is among the oldest towns in the State. It is beautifully situated on a mountain side, and commands a view extending over 15 miles across the Passaic Val- ley. In fact the valley scenery from Boonton captivates strangers who come into the town, and it would be difficult to find anything more magnificent. There is a wild grandeur about the Rockaway River as it flows down the mountain through the town and then breaks into foaming cascades as it tumbles along the ravine, winding in many directions in descending to the valley. The Rockaway River at Boonton affords wild views that are seldom equalled within the limits of civilization. Boonton was at one time a great iron manufacturing centre, but of late years this industry has fallen into decay. As a place of residence it is superb, the society is good, the sur- roundings are salubrious, and the air is permeated with the odor of pine from the mountains. As a summer resort this town is almost too well known to need recom- mendation, and the city people who spend the hot months here do not seem to be able to get back again soon enough. Denville, where the Boonton Branch tracks cross the M. Sa E. Division, is 35 miles from New York by this line. After a run of four miles around the base of a high mountain both lines meet at DOVER. Altitude, 573 ft. 39 miles from New York, or 42 miles by the M. & E. Division; Single ticket, $1.10; Excursion ticket, I1.75. On entering Dover one finds a busy centre surrounded by high hills and delight- ful scenery. The large shops of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western are located here, and a small army of men are kept at work the year round building new cars and repairing the old. Several other manufacturing industries are also here and are thriving. Dover is a great mining center, the adjacent mountains being filled with a fine deposit of iron. The U. S. Government powder works are located at Picatinny and are one of the attractions to visitors. The city has fine schools, churches of all denominations, and an opera house. The mountain drives in this section are pe- culiarly inviting. The Rockaway River and Morris Canal both flow through the city. In summer Dover is one of the liveliest cities in New Jersey. PORT ORAM. Altitude, 642 ft. 44 miles from New York; Single ticket, $1.15; Excursion ticket, $1.80. A quiet little farming hamlet which derived its name from being a station on the Morris Canal. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 89 RocKAWAY River, Boonton, N. J. BooNTON Falls, N. J. After leaving Port Oram the Chester Branch runs eleven miles westward through a country famous for its rugged mountain peaks, green valleys and brisk streams. This entire section of Morris County ranks among the most healthful portion of New Jersey. There is no limit to the pastoral beauty of the scenery north, and the advan- tages Port Oram has for vacation enjoyment are numerous. The fertile farms offer every inducement to lovers of rest and quiet, and the hotels and boarding-houses cater especially for city boarders. In fact, each of the villages overflow with city people during the summer months. The water is pure and of good quality, the drives delightful, and the air remarkably bracing. The villages on the Chester Branch are KENVIL (formerly McCAINSVILLE). Altitude, 712 ft. 47 miles from New York; Single ticket, $1.25; Excursion ticket, $1.95. SUCCASUNNA.

Returning to the main line, the next station is HT. ARLINGTON. Altitude, 995 ft. 47 miles from New York; Single ticket, $1.25; Excursion ticket, S1.95. Mount Arlington is the station from which I/ake Hopatcong is reached by wagon or stage, and was established by enterprising citizens of Lake Hopatcong as a con- venience in reaching trains. From this station are special stages to Hotel Breslin. HOPATCONG STATION (Lake Hopatcong.) Altitude, 926 ft. 46 miles via Boonton, or 49 miles via M. & E. Division; Single ticket, I1.30; Excursion ticket, $2.05. On alighting from the train the prospective sojourner expects to have his craving for a glimpse at this silver pool in the mountains satisfied at once. But in this he is mistaken. Instead, a little steamboat of the Lake Hopatcong Steamboat Co. — " A Reasoner," " G. L. Bryant," and "Fannie" — awaits him at the landing, adjoining the station on the Morris Canal, and runs b};- a rather unusital and interesting route to all important points on the lake to deliver passengers. One of the novelties of the trip is a pleasant ride of a mile up the canal to the lock. On reaching the latter point the boat is "locked in" and raised up several feet; and when the surface is reached, Lake Hopatcong, with its clear green water, irregular shores and numerous rock-bound, wooded islands, presents itself with such suddenness as to completely enrapture all who are contemplating a loiter of more or less lengthy duration on its sloping shores. And at the Lake Landing, one hundred and fifty feet north of the station, are also other steamers — the latter belonging to the Hopatcong Steamboat Company — which carry passengers to all points on the Lake. The boats of the Hopatcong Line are comfortably appointed side-wheelers, and at the present comprise the "Hopatcong," the " Musconetcong," and a steam launch, the " Nariticong." In addition to these, a new steamer has been launched The lake itself is partly located in Morris and partly in Sussex County. Its altitude is 926 feet above the sea level, and 36 feet above the Delaware River, 35 miles westward. The water, which rises from crystal springs, is transparently green, very deep, and teems with game fish. Black bass and pickerel of enormous size are caught every season, and catfish of good weight are also taken. Hopatcong is the rendezvous of expert fishermen and fisherwomen, and it is the rare sport thus provided that attracts many an angler here each season. Howard P. Frothingham, Esq., Mayor of the borough of Mount Arlington, himself an enthusiastic fisherman, is the fish warden for Lake Hopatcong. He enjoys his office, because, as a true sportsman, he likes to see game fish protected. Woe be to those caught by him fishing out of season, or in season, for that matter, using nets, fikes or any other unlawful means of trapping the fish. Persistent effort on his part has driven these scalawags out of his jurisdiction, so that legitimate fishermen who go to Hopatcong can count on having good sport and happy catches for their trouble. In this limited space it would be impossible to describe and do justice to the famed beauties of this lake. It so closely resembles Lake George that it is freqttently alluded to as the " Lake George of New Jersey." This alhtsion is justified, although SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 41 photo-chrome eng. co , 162 leonard st., n. y. Scenes in and about Lake Hopatcong. 42 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R.

Lake George is so mvich larger as to make the comparison hardly fair. Lake Hopat- cong, however, has an advantage of fully 600 feet in altitude over its rival, and in the beauty of its scenery its equality is unquestioned. Indian tradition is closely associated with both lakes, although Hopatcong never had a Cooper to weave that subtle charm about it that will always cling to the ' ' Hor- icon," as a result of the ingeniously constructed plots and charming description of Central New York given by the famous writer of "The Leatherstocking Tales." There is such a variety to the ever-changing scenery of Lake Hopatcong, or " Hopachung," as the red men called it when they settled on its shores. When the water is ruffled by the slightest breeze, its depth appears to lessen, and at sunset, when the surface becomes mirror-like, the shadows of the mountains seem to sink fathoms into the sparkling depths. About the middle of June, the influx of visitors commences, and from that time until September one round of gaiety succeeds another. The hotels and boarding- houses are full, the lake becomes dotted here and there with pleasure craft of all descriptions, from the frail canoe with sail and paddle to the costly steam launches. The Hotel Breslin, at Mount Arlington, is the largest hostelry on the lake. It is the abode of fashion and culture. The grounds surrounding it are terraced, and hand- somely laid out with blossoming shrubs and flowers. The view from the long piazza over the lake comprises many pretty patches of scenery. The Hotel Breslin will, this season, be under the management of Mr. J. H. King,, of the Plant System Hotels of Florida, of which the celebrated Tampa Bay Hotel is one. For camping out this place excels all others. The wooded shores offer the finest kind of seclusion; the bathing is good, and fishing adds materially to the pleasures of camp life. Not the least interesting feature of an evening on the lake is to watch the camp fires gleaming here and there along the opposite shores, and listen to the frequent camp cries of "rival" parties blending with song and musical accompani- ment. The little hamlet of Mount Arlington is a collection of neat cottages bordering on the lake, and on the hill above it. One of these, the cottage of Miss Lotta 44 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. Bridge on the Morris Canal, Lake Hopatcong, N. J. Crabtree, the actress, deserves particular mention, because its interior is not only- gorgeous in its appointment, but in the extent of its artistic arrangements it has been praised bj- every connoisseur in decorative art. The walks and rambles are as numerous as they are beautiful, and while out on a tramp anyone fond of exercise is likely to run across an extraordinary number of people, and wonder whence these folks came. Anyhow, everyone there is out for pleasure or rest and each makes the best of his opportunity. A peculiar freak of nature here is Floating Island, at the southern extremity ot the lake, near Shippenpont. The island never appears over one foot above the sur- face of the water, and is covered with tamarack, spruce and wild flowers of a curious growth in great variety. Raccoon Island is on the eastern boundary of Henderson's Cove and is covered with a heavy growth of timber. From the fact that human bones have been un- earthed on the island, it is supposed that the Indians buried their dead there. Halsey Island opposite Nolan's Point is artificial. Many years ago the Canal Company, backed by proper authority, flooded the lake and this caused the water to rise to a sufficient height to flood part of the main land peninsulas, thus forming several islands of which this is the largest. The River Styx, an arm of the lake that empties into it back of the mountain, is quieter than any place around. It is a romantic spot, and on account of the solitude that prevails is a favorite abode for such birds as herons, which stand in the water on one leg, heedless of all that surrounds them. Henderson's Cove is probably the most beautiful spot on the lake; it is made so by the rugged bluffs that overhang it, which are covered by a hardy growth of oak and hemlock. Trips by boat to the cove are one of the fascinating pleasures of life here. The lake finds its outlet by the Musconetcong River, which flows an irregular course and empties into the Delaware, 40 miles distant. At times the Canal Com- pany utilizes the water as a means for feeding the Canal, and at such times the lake surface recedes two feet or more. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 45 STANHOPE. Altitude, S71 ft. 48 miles from New York; Single ticket, $r.4o; Excursion ticket, $2.10. Stanhope has become known, not on account of its iron- smelting industries, but by reason of its general thrift. It has several churches and schools; has stores of all kinds, and rejoices in one weekly paper. Passengers alight here to be staged through the mountains to At Anchor, Budd'S Lake, N. J. BUDD'S LAKE. Distance from Stanhope, 3 miles. Altittide, gss Jt. "Restless and sparkling, its silvery sheen, Reflects the bold hills in a setting of green." This pretty sheet of water, almost circular in shape, boasts of being one of the most delightful lakes near New York. It is the resort of many people who love to enjoy the summer season surrounded by pleasant associates in an atmosphere of pure, health-giving air. The beauties of Budd's Lake are always enjoyable, and there is no monotony in a sojourn there. The man who likes fishing, here may gratify his whim by dropping in his line and hauling out vigorous black bass or pickerel. Both these voracious varieties are ready to meet the angler half-way and take the alluring bait. The wonderful stillness of the water, especially at eventide, attracts the holiday maker, and boating is much indulged in. The conventional hammock can find no more delightful place to swing in than above the ruffled wave- lets as, under the influence of a cool morning breeze, they ripple on the pebbly shore. Everybody comes here in happy expectancy, and, unless hypercritical and difficult to please, is not disappointed, except, perhaps, at the too short summer which gives way to breezy autumn when the inevitable "good-bye" to the mountains has to be 46 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. spoken. The sportsman can linger longer and get well repaid for his pains. He may have enjoyed himself thoroughly and been fortunate with rod or gun, but the inducement of bagging a few ducks from the lake, where they congregate every fall, often proves an attraction too strong to be resisted. WATERLOO. Altitude, 716 ft. 52 miles from New York; Single ticket, I1.50; Excursion ticket, $2.25. Here, at the gateway of the rugged hills of Sussex County, begins the Sussex Railroad. The road is 26 miles long, and traverses a very picturesque country. It is wild, full of little lakes, ponds and silvery streams, that furnish excellent fishing. On account of the mountainous character of the neighborhood, game of all sorts abounds. The partridge is frequently seen along the highways, and, during the fall — " Up from the slubble gets the quail, I hear the partridge drumming." Bears, too, are not strangers in Sussex, and scarcely a season goes by that some one •does not have to recount the destruction of one or more of these furry creatures. The sumnier sojourner, of course, is not as eager to kill bears as to roam about at will and avoid them. There is no danger, however, of meeting bruin in the summer months, as it is only in winter that he ventures within the bounds of civilization to forage for his provisions, and, satisfied by stealing a pig or two, he returns quietly to his lair. As there are innumerable farms and plenty of good hotels and boarding-houses, the region through which the Sussex Railroad runs is particularly inviting to summer vacationists. In fact, any person who appreciates a mountain summer, with pleasant surroundings, can make no mistake in giving any of the places mentioned a season's trial. On leaving Waterloo, the first station is ANDOVER. Altitude, 635 ft. 5S miles from New York; Single ticket, $1.75; Excursion ticket, $2.65. NEWTON. Altitude, 599 ft. 63 miles from New York; Single ticket, $1.90 ; Excursion ticket, $2.95. Newton, the county seat of Sussex, is considered one of the prettiest, as well as most prosperous, towns in North Jersey. The altitude ranges from 580 to 800 feet above mean tide at New York. The population is about 3,500, and the locality one of the healthiest in the state. The town has two shoe-factories, employing over 500 persons, besides other manufactories. Its streets are lighted by arc electric lights, and water is to be introduced during the coming year. Gas is also at command for lighting and heating. The principal streets are macadamized, and the sidewalks are flag and granolithic. As the nights are invariably cool, the daily range of 15° to 25° brings refreshing sleep, and mosquitoes are rarely seen. It has two newspapers, which are known far and wide as compendiums of local news. With prompt and convenient train service, there is no more desirable place in the Jersey Highlands. Business men traveling between town and city are favored by trips in the cool of the day, the average running time being two hours, and on some trains without change of cars. New York morning papers reach the town at 8.30 a. m. The drives in the neighborhood are noted for their beauty, and the proximity to Swartswood, Culvers, Hopatcong, and other lakes, render a summer residence a matter of comfort as well as pleasure. There is a Sunday train to and from New York. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 47 The Island, Swartswooo Lake, N. J. LAFAYETTE.

Returning again to the main line the next station is HACKETTSTOWN. Altitude, 564ft. 57 miles from New York; Single ticket, $1.65; Excursion ticket, $2.45. This is one of the oldest towns in New Jersey. It is situated in the midst of -pleasant surroundings, and is an enterprising village of pretty homes and well shaded ^streets. It has a Mayor and Council and its municipal government is good. The Hackettstown Collegiate Institute, known throughout the country as a prominent seat of learning, is situated here. During the summer season the town is very active •on account of the influx of the city people who come to obtain recreation and whole- some air. SCHOOLEY'S MOUNTAIN. Like an immense forest, lying some distance back from the town, is Schooley's Mountain, a resort almost too well known to require detailed description. The mountain, when viewed from a distance, resembles a long plateau, so even is its 48 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. summit, and it is covered with a rich growth of forest trees. Nature has beeu so un- usually kind to this romantic spot that many wealthy gentlemen have selected it as their summer home. Among these are Alfred Sully, Esq., the well-known railroad magnate, and Mr. E. D. Stokes. The Sully abode is palatial in its appointments, and the grounds are laid out in bright flower-beds, arbors and shrubbery. Mr. Sully takes great pride in his valuable assortment of grapes, and has one of the choicest graperies in the State. The air on the mountain is cool and bracing and is favorable for all pulmonary affections and asthma. There are no mosquitoes here, and slumber at night should alwaj's be between a pair of warm blankets. Heath House is the most prominent summer hotel on the mountain and is filled every season with the best class of city guests. PORT HURRAY. Altitude, 585 ft. 63 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.85 ; Special ticket, $1.70 ; Excursion ticket, $2.75. WASHINGTON. Altitude, 503 ft. 67 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $1.90 ; Special ticket, I1.70 ; Excursion ticket, I2.85. This is the most important city in Warren County and is noted for the number of its manufactories, principal among which are the piano and organ industries. The town is located at the base of Pohatcong Mountain and the valley is one of wonderful beauty and fertility. The city is noted for its fine hotels and summer boarding houses and for that reason is well patronized by out of town folks. BROADWAY. Altitude 373 ft. 72 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.05 ; Special ticket, $1.85 ; Excursion ticket, $3.05. STEWARTSVILLE.

Altitude, 2/8 ft. 82 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.05 ; Excursion ticket, I3.25. This city, one of the largest in the State and an important railroad centre, is the last in New Jersey on the line of this road. It is situated on the Delaware River. In mentioning Phillipsburg it is sufficient to indorse it as a city where all con- veniences afi^orded by other places of its size can be had. The manufacturing industries are important and represent vast wealth. But, after all, this place ranks more as a railroad centre than otherwise. E ASTON, PA. Altitude, 218ft. Si miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.10 ; Excursion ticket, $3.30. Easton is situated just across the Delaware River from Phillipsburg, and is con- nected by a long bridge. This city, being among the largest in Pennsylvania, needs •no description here ; in limited space justice could not be done to it. Returning again to the main line, which continues westward from Washington, the first station beyond is OXFORD FURNACE. Altitude, 436ft. 71 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.05 ; Special ticket, I1.85 ; Excursion ticket, I3.05. If this little town were referred to as a small edition of Sheffield, it should not be considered as inappropriate. The iron industry is all that is recognized here. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 49 The Oxford Steel and Iron Company controls the immense plant that turns out nails famous the country over. Nearly all the inhabitants depend on this industry for a living. The town was founded by a Scranton family, and its great success is prin- cipally due to their energy. Blairstown, the home of the Hon. John I. Blair, one of New Jersey's iron kings, is within a few miles of here, and is well worth a visit. BRIDQEVILLE. Altitude, 486 ft. 75 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.15 ; Special ticket. $1.95 ; Excursion ticket, $3.20. Just across the little Pequest River, on the three-arch stone viaduct bridge, is this quiet town. The attraction here is fishing, and the waters that furnish it are the Pequest River, Beaver Brook, and several small ponds. Among the natural attrac- tions is Jenny Jump Mountain, close by. The region hereabouts is one of delightful simplicity, and profitable farming is largely conducted. Manunka Chunk, N. J. Juuction of Belvidere Division Pennsylvania R. R. for Trenton, Philadelphia and the South. MANUNKA CHUNK. Altitude, 3/1 ft. 77 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.20 ; Special ticket, I2.00 ; Excursion ticket, I3.30. At this point the road connects with the Belvidere Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad for Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and all points south and south- west. The place is small, and agricultural pursuits are the principal industry. ■ DELAWARE. Altitude, sgo ft. 80 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.25 ; Special ticket, $2.05 ; Excursion ticket, $3.40. Delaware is located among the hills of northern New Jersey, and but a short distance from the Delaware River. The surrounding country is hilly, almost 50 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. Delaware Water Gap from the South. mountainous. Numerous roads lead to places of varied interest, affording delightful drives. Several picturesque and romantic spots in the vicinity invite the rambler, while the river is a source of entertainment for the boatman and fisherman. The Gap, and other attractions within easy reach, are the objects of frequent picnics and excursions during the season. In summer the population generally doubles. A number of good boarding houses are located in the vicinity, and Delaware is quite a popular summer resort. PORTLAND, PA. Altitude, 292 ft. S3 miles from New York. ; Single ticket, I2.35 ; Special ticket, $2.15; Excursion ticket, $3.50. This pretty little village is reached by crossing the Delaware River on a 1,200- foot bridge. The river view afforded from trains at this point is very fine. Portland has several commercial industries and is an important town in this region. DELAWARE WATER GAP. Altitude 390 ft. 88 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.55 ; Special ticket, $2.35 ; Excursion ticket, $3.70. Of all the resorts along the line of the Lackawanna, none is more strikingly beautiful than this great handiwork of Nature. Its praises have been sung for gene- rations, and one never wearies of them. From the time that the Redskin ruled the domain the popularity of this grand chasm through the mountains was established, and each year the demand for hotel accommodation continues to increase. There is a peculiar rugged picturesqueness about the scenery that attracts the attention of the observer, and holds it until it is so firmly imprinted on the mind as never to be for- gotten. Residents love to tarry by the clear water of the grand old Delaware, and enjoy the pleasures of boating and fishing, and the transient visitor is willing to SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 51 Mt.

Many excursions are run to Water Gap from different points during the summer months, and so popular have these become that they are booked for months in advance at the Company's passen- ger department ofl&ces. A critical review of this region, and the Delaware River, cannot fail to be of interest to the readers. The Delaware River rises 200 miles northward, in two lateral branches, flowing from the western slope of the Catskill Mountains, 2,000 feet above the sea level. The western branch passes through a lake near its source, retaining, for a wonder, its quaint aboriginal name " Utsaj'antha." This is described as a circular sheet of transparent water covering an area of 70 acres and having an elevation of 1,888 feet ; a mirror of beauty in the wooded wilderness, so secluded that few save the red men have ever gazed vipon its serene solitude. In its course the river hugs the base of the grand old mountains, older in date of upheaval than the snow-clad " Alps," which once formed a barrier to its passage, and rolled back the flood of waters, submerging for a long time the lesser hills and swelling plains that now, clad in verdure, adorn its borders. The character of the rocks in this portion of the Blue Ridge is that of gray and red sandstone and conglomerates, containing white quartz pebbles of large size. The escarpment at the point of dislodgement is more bold on the New Jersey portion of the mountain, the means of the angle for the entire elevation of 1,600 feet being about 70 degrees, while projecting cliffs, as seen from the gorge, exhibit sections of perpendicular descent. On the Pennsylvania mountain the general slope from the summit to the river is less precipitous ; a mass of talus having been detached from the crest by the frost of winter, and pouring like lava down its sides, has covered the surface to the depth of many feet, concealing the rugged projections that charac- terize the face of the opposite mountain. DELAWARE, LACKAWANXA & WESTERN R. R. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 53 From both the summits— Mount Tammany in New Jersey and Mount Minsi in Pennsylvania— views of great extent and beauty are obtained, but it is difficult to do them justice by mere description ; they must be seen to be fully appreciated. One overlooks an extent of country to the south as far as eye can reach ; a scene of vast breadth, comprising mountains and hills, villages and farmhouses, cultivated fields, groves of woodland and primitive forests— the river on its sinuous journey filling up the picture. It was upon the summit of Minsi, that, over a quarter of a century ago, a romantic young lady lost her way, and was exposed for a greater part of a night on the ledge of a cliff, to which she had fallen, and from which with much Delaware Water Gap from New Jersey Shore. difficulty she was rescued. On the way to Mount Minsi to the settled portion of the Gap, a fine view is obtained from Prospect Rock. — This bare platform, though much below the summit, enables the visitor to enjoj^ one of the finest pieces of scenery on the Delaware, The view up the river extends beyond the islands to the distant hills and mountain, through which the river winds its tortuous course and glides smoothly along the base of the precipice from which you are gazing. Near Prospect Rock is WATER GAP. The Hunter's Spring. — A wild, secluded spot where many a Leuape huntsman as well as those of modern times, have been refreshed, and have lain in wait for the deer as they came panting for the cooling waters. It is at the head of a wild ravine and the source of Eureka Creek, which tumbles over the rocky bed in its rapid descent to the river, and in which are found Moss Cataract and Rebecca's Bath. Near bv is 54 DEI.A.WARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R. The Lover's Leap. — This is the artist's favorite spot and is made memorable as- the scene where the Indian Princess " Winona " and her lover took their fatal leap. CaldEno Creek. — This is a noted spot. It has its rise high up the side of Mount Minsi. Dashing and foaming in its descent, it flows at length into the valley, and after gladdening the inmates of several farm houses, changes its course and runs close by the ruins of an old saw mill, which at one time it made busy as the machin- ery was put in motion by the plashing of the water over a big wheel. From the old mill the stream flows across a green meadow and again loses itself in an entangle- ment of forest, from which it again emerges at Moss Cataract, dashes over its mossy bed, fills Diana's bath afresh, gives a leap over the falls of its own name and hastens- on to lose its identity in the broad waters of the Delaware. Table Rock and Cooper's Cliff. — Both are situated on an extended rocky platform of about 300 feet in elevation, overlooking the river and the cultivated hills- in the distance. The confused mixture of forest and hills, and the cultivated land be- low the cliff on which one stands, forms a beautiful foreground to the finely devel- oped proportions of the gorge in the distance. Sunset Hill rises only a few rods to the northeast of the apparently undisturbed stratification of Table Rock, and is a confused, disjointed, irregular mass of rock from base to apex. We have given a tolerably fair idea of the general character of the scenery and views at Water Gap, but its attractions, if they begin, certainly do not end there. There are numerous walks besides those we have named, and drives which we have not mentioned at all — long drives to the beautiful falls of Winona and Bushkill, and short drives to romantic places with commonplace names: Fox Hill, the Knob, Lake of the Mountain and a dozen others. Stroudsburg is but four miles distant. The air about here is pure and appetizing, and while the days are not hot nor humid, the nights are so delightfully cool that sleep of the kind that rests and invigorates is assured. The Water Gap is famous for its fine hotels, where the best service in the land is bestowed without stint. The drinking water, from Caldeno' Creek is very pure. STROUDSBURG, PA. Altitude, 400ft. 92 miles from New York; Siugle ticket, $2.70; Special ticket, $2.50; Excursion ticket, $3.85. This old town is delightfully situated on Broadhead's Creek and is the capital of Monroe County. It is the first town of importance the road touches in Pennsyl- vania. It was founded by Col. Stroud, after whom it is named, and occupies the old site of Fort Hamilton. The place, which has a population of 2,000 inhabitants, is remarkable for its beauty as well as for the beauty of the surrounding country. Among the delightful bits of scenery named from the town are the Blue Ridge moun- tains lying to the south and Pocono Mountain to the north. At the point where Broadhead's Creek flows through the town, two other streams converge — McMichael's and Pocono Creek. Stroudsburg has many interesting historical associations. The watering places in the vicinity always prove attractive to summer visitors. Among them are Lake Pokonoming, Porter and Perch; and Bushkill, Buttermilk, Sawkill, Marshall's and Saw Creek Falls. Trains running westward begin a gradual ascent. The grade is steep and the powerful engines have to do their best in order to draw their load to the summit of Pocono Mountain. From this station passengers will take stages for Forest Park. SUMMER EXCURSION ROUTES AND RATES. 55 ALWAYS READY. STEAMBOAT " KITTATI N N Y," Trip to Water Gap and return requires half an hour.

BUSHKILL, PIKE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. 15 miles from Stroudsburg. It comprises about sixteen thousand acres of land, diversified by mountain and valley, lakes and streams. Its mountain streams, fed by bubbling springs, are the lurking places of countless trout, and the lakes are the abiding places of the gamy black bass and the sun-loving perch. In the forest, much of which is in primeval state, deer and bear, partridge and pheasant, grouse, quail, woodcock, foxes, rabbits and squirrel abound. SPRAQUEVILLE. Altitude, 524 ft. 96 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.85 ; Special ticket, $2.65 ; Excursion ticket, $4.05. Spragueville is an attractive village surrounded by many hills, which give it a picturesque appearance. It is the summer home of several wealthy persons whose residences are costly and beautiful. Like its larger neighbor, Stroudsburg, it is located on Broadhead's Creek, which at this point is decidedly pretty ; it is famous for the fine trout fishing it affords. The Analomink streams, both celebrated for their trout, are near the village. The drives are magnificent for miles around and this kind of pleasure, coupled with equestrianism and pedestrianism, keeps tourists bitsy enjoying themselves. HENRYVILLE. Altitude 784ft. 100 miles from New York ; Single ticket, $2.95 ; Special ticket, $2.75 ; Excursion ticket, $4.20. Running out a few- miles on the D., It. &. W., anxious to spend all day Saturday taking fine brook trout, beauties that run up to i^4 lbs. in weight, we should go to Henry ville, in Monroe County, Pa., and there find a little town prettily situated on the mountain side. At the depot a spanking team of farm horses and a good springy buckboard await us with which to take a drive over the mountain to Parkside. Here one is surrounded by some of the most prolific brook trout streams in America — East and West Branch, Broadhead, Cranberry, Heller, Paradise and Devil's Hole — all famous. Parkside, on the banks of the Analomink, is a beautiful little rural retreat, not more than three hour's ride from New York. The Park House is situated in the centre of a beautifully laid out ground, with the river at one side and the mountains on the other. The altitude of the place gives it perfect freedom from mosquitoes and malaria, and in summer the temperature is delightfully cool. The ride over the hills from the depot will give you an rppetite alone worth the trip. And the food! Food that is clean and fresh, food that is free of a city smell, food that has a natural ring to it — butter, cream, eggs, milk, vegetables, and all sorts of things produced right from the farm. We will lounge about the farm Friday evening, smoking our pipes or cigars and listening to the yarns about the big fish we will have to battle with in the morning ; then retire for the night. There is no trouble about going to sleep, and when we awake, a refreshing breakfast awaits us, after which we will go forth and flail the wooded streams, coming in with good creels of fine-sized fish. Sunday resting about the farm we partake of delicious fruit, and breathe the invigorating mountain air until night falls again, and once more we seek the restful couch. The early morning train may be taken on Monday, and — the city reached only too soon. The points of interest within easy riding or driving distance are the Water Gap, Red Rock Glen, Prospect Ledge, Silver Cascade, Pocono Summit, Point Lookout and one or two others of less fame.

Cresco is situated in the highlands of Monroe County close to where the waters ■of the Delaware River flow. It can be safely asserted that the forests and streams here give more pleasure than the average sportsman can find time to indulge in ; a region of woodland and water, it attracts them every season, and has attained for itself a well-deserved reputation. MOUNT POCONO. Altitude, 1,824/1. Ill miles from New York ; Single ticket, $3.35 ; Special ticket, I3.15 ; Excursion ticket, I4.65. The visitor realizes that he is now very near the highest point of the mountains, hecause the panoramic view that spreads before his gaze calls attention to the fact. These mountains cross the northeasterly counties of the State and are spurs of that same great chain that traverses the Atlantic Coast section from the Catskills in New York State to the Black Mountains in North Carolina. The scenery in the Pennsyl- vania portion of the range is unrivalled, and in the way of sport with rod and gun is not surpassed by any other State. Jn standing at the top of Pocono Mountain which is 2,000 feet above tide-water, two entire counties are unfolded to the view, as -well as the Water Gap and Delaware River. The air at this great height is strong and bracing, and, as it is introduced to the relief of the overworked seeker of health and 58 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R.

Persons afflicted with hay fever and asthma should come here to get cured. Another feature that recommends this region is its absolute freedom from the mosquito pest. As the thermometer rarely rises above 80 degrees in the hottest weather, out- door life is always agreeable. At night log fires on the hearth, warm wraps and blankets on beds are in order. In recent years the tendency has been to develope new mountain resorts. The success of Mount Pocono is fully assured, and persons who are satisfied with its healthfulness, its accessibility and adaptability to sport with rod and gun, have erected first-class hotels and cottages right in the heart of the wilderness. Among the numerous drives that have become popular are those to Pocono Knob, Buckhill, Paradise Falls and Devil's Hole. Here are charming walks leading in all directions through the forest, which nature has strewn with rhododendrons and other shrubs. POCONO SUMMIT.

It is noted for its pure water, pure air, and beautiful scenery. Hotel Elmhurst is replete with every modern improvement, including gas aud electric bells in every room, and is supplied with pure spring water, with thorough plumbing and drainage. The broad porches command an extended view of moun- tain, lake and woodland.

Several railways connect here, making it an important railroad centre as well as manufacturing town. Not the least interesting feature of the city is a visit to the rolling mills and giant coal breakers, which, when the busj- season is at its height, crush and prepare for shipment fifty-five thousand tons a day. A visit to the subterranean coal galleries in the mines will prove an entertaining ex- perience and one well worth the trouble. Despite the immense amount of manufacturing done here the city, unlike many others, is not permeated with smoke and gases, as might be expected. On the con- trary the air is pure, and the city is a very pleasant place to visit or remain in at any season of the year. In fact, Scranton contains as many magnificent residences and public buildings as any city of its size in the United States, and this bears the best testimony to its healthfulness that can be given. Among the resorts within short distance are Mauch-Chunk, with its great switch- back and gravity road to Honesdale. Numerous lakes in the surrounding mountains afford good fishing, black bass and pickerel being plentiful. 60 DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R. R.
