TRAVEL TO THE NORTHWEST recent
excursion to the Northwest, we were sur
prsed 10 see the large amount of travel In
that direction Plcasure-seekers, during
the heated season, instead of winding their
tiresome way TO the crowded boarding
houses of Eastern watering places and
the sea-shore. seem TO have come TO the
more sensible conclusion that the cool and
delightful regions Of the upper Lakes af
ford more pleasant and healthnl place of
summer resort. Consequently the lines of
travel running In that direction are crowd
ed with people, all anxious TO avail them
selves of the superior facilities afforded for
recreation and enjoyment by n brief sojoum
in the region indicated. After reaching
Chicago or Milwaukee, by rail, the arrange
ments for trip by the Lakes TO Mackinaw
and all the important and interesting points
on our magnificent inland seas, are perfect.
First-class steamers leave the above ports
daily, and their accommodations are alh
that can be desired. They are fitted up in
elegant style aud every attention is paid to
the comfort and convenience of the large
number of passengers who daily embark
on them.
Those of our citizens who contemplate an
excursion TO The Lake region, will consult
their own comfort aud convenience by Sc
curing tickets over the Chicago and Great
Eastern Railway, which connects with the
Dayton and Western at Richmond. by
leaving Dayton IN the morning, passengers
will arrive at Chicago early the same even
ing. Leaving Dayton in the afternoon,
they viii arrive at Chicago early the next
morning, at which point close connections
are made with all the principal
railroad lines of the Northwest. This
road traverses Ia beautiful and inter
esting section ofcountry; it Is admirably
managed, and passengers viii receive from
the conductors and all attaches of the line
that courteous and gcntlemanly treatment
which is always so essential TO relieve the
monotony Of a long Journey by rail. Those
who travel by this route once, will be sure
TO do so again when occasion offers.
We may mention in this connection, that
a more delightful place of summer resort
can no where be found than the beautiful
city of Milwaukee. Its high and command
ing position-the grand and magnificent
scenery which surrounds it--and the cool
and invigorating breezes of Lake Michigan.
render il most desirable aud attractive
place of soiourn in the hot season. The
Newhall House IL one OF the most spacious,
comfortable and best arranged hotels In the
West. IL commands asplendld view Of the
lake and the surrounding country, and its
accommodations are in all respects first
class. Should any OF our citizens have oc-
casion TO visit Milwaukee either on pleasure
or business, we would especially commend
them TO the generous and elegant hospital-
ties of the "Ncwhnll."
