Summer Excursions via PennsyIvania
Railroad.

Summer excursions, long or short, are
now necessities of American life. All
classes indulge in these relaxations from
business during the Summer months The
rich extend the time to months the
poor content themselves with much
shorter withdrawal from the store, the
nanufactury or the workshop. To foster
and encourage this feeling, the various
railroads of the country have ugurated
Summer excursions to the sea coast, the
mountain top, the shady valley and the
quiet rural sections of this great country.
Foremost among the Summer excursions
both for variety of location, the cheapness
of fare, and abundance of natural scenery,
are those gotten up and managed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad. All tastes can be
yratified by these trips over the stem line
of the Pennsylvania Road and its numer-
Gus branches. Eight hours ride from
Philadelphia brings the traveller to Altoona
and Cresson Springs, in the Allegheny
Mountains, and the famous Bedford
Springs are reached by the Pennsylvania
Railroad to Huntington, and thence by the
Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad 10
Bedford. Leaving the main line at Har-
risburg the route of the traveller leads north
ward over the Northern Central and Erie
Railroads to the mountain resor,s of Remove
and Kane, to Watkins Glen, and the many
picturesque localities in the vicinity of
Seneca Lake, all reached from Philadel-
phia by express trains with luxurious Pull
man palace cars. Delaware Water Gap,
a most picturesque and delightful retreat
from the heat of Summer is reached ria
Trenton and the Belvidere Division of the
Pennsylvania Road, which runs along the
Delaware river, and presents constantly
changing panorama of enjoyable views by
land and water. By leaving the main line,
a hundred other points can be reached,
where repose, comfort and health can be
ATTAINED by all classes. AT the same time
all the most popular and attractive seaside
resorts on the jersey Coast can be readily
and pleasantly reached by cars on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. At the depot of
the company, in West Philadelphia tour
lists from inland localities will find cars
in waiting to transfer them-at a cost of
six cents-to the depot at the foot of Mar
ket Street, from which point Cape May,
Atlantic City, Beach Haven, and Seaside
Park may all be reached within two hours
and without change of cars. The traveller
continues his journey from the West Phlla-
delphia depot to Sea Girt, Spring Lake,
Ocean Grove, and Long Branch, all Of
which points are also reached in about the
same time and without change of cars. In
this way vast extent of country, richly
endowed with all natural CHAINS and
health giving properties, is opened to the
enjoyment of persons of even moderate
means. The excursion rates are most
moderate, and cover such a period of time
as will satisfy even the most eXacting, and
living accommodations, at all points. can
he obtained in such shapes as to ht all pur-
ses. The Summer excursion programme
of the Pennsylvania Railroad was never so
extended, encircling ani complete as for
the summer of 1880, and no doubt the
travel will be correspondingly enlarged.
When a person can enjoy Summer vaca-
ton on the mountain or by the ocean side,
almost as cheap as living in the City, or in
the inland town, it is folly to tread the
pearls of comfort and health under foot.
This blessing the Pennsylvania Railroad
puts within the reach of all by therenter-
prise and iiberality.
