summer Excursions Via Pennsylvania
Railroad.

Summer excursions, long or short, are
1ow necessities of American life All
classes indulge in these rclaxations from
business during the Summer months. Tho
:ich extend the time to months the
poor content themselves with much
shorter withdrawal from tho store, the
manufactury or the workshop To foster
and encourage this feeling, the various
railroads of the country have lnaugurated
Summer excursions to the sea coast, tho
mountain top, tho shady valley and tho
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
gratified by these trips over the stem line
of the Pennsylvania Road and its numcr-
GUS branches. Eight hours riuc 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 Huntingdon, and thence by tho
Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad to
Bedford. Leaving tho main line at uar-
risburg the route of tho traveller leads north
ward over the Northern Central and Eric
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,
most picturesque and delightful retreat
from the heat OF Summer is reached ola
Trenton and the Bevidero Division of tho
Pennsylvania ROAD, which runs along tho
Delaware river, and presents constantly
changing panorama of enjoyable views by
land and water. BY leaving the main line,
hundred other points can be reached,
where repose, comfort and health can be
ATTAINED by all classes. AT the same timo
all the most popular and attractive seaside
resorts on the Jersey Coast can be readily
and pleasantly reached by cars on tho
Pennsylvania Railroad. At the depot of
the company, in West Philadelphia tour
lists from inland localities will find cars
in waiting to transfer thcm-at cost of
six ccns-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-
dclphia 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 o vast extent of country, richly
endowed with all natural charms and
health giving properties, is opened to the
enjoyment of persons of even moderate
means. The excursion rates are most
moderate, and cover such period of time
as will satisfy even the most cxactlng, and
living accommodations, at all points, can
be obtained in such shapes as to fit all rnr-
ses. The Summer excursion programme
of the Pennsylvania Railroad was never 80
extended, encircling ana complete as for
the summer Of 1880, and no doubt the
travel will be correspondingly enlarged.
When person can enjoy u Summer vaca-
ton on the mountain or by the ocean side,
almost as cheap as living in tho City, or in
the inland town, it is folly to tread tho
pearls of comfort and health under fsot.
This blessing the Pennsylvania Railroad
puts within the reach of all by thcircntcr.
prise and liborality.
