QUEBEC, Aug. 49, 1884. Thirty-two miles
from the ''queen of American watering places"
is Caldwell where tourists take steamers for
the sail across Lake George. The place is
reached by rail on the Delaware and Hudson
Canal r. II. Formerly the road went only to
Glen Falls and the remaining distance of nine
miles was made by stage coach. OF course it
is far easier and great saving of time to make
the trip by rail. Almost the first object to
strike the eye on taking the steamer is the Fort
W llllam Henry hotel, with accommodations
Tor ZOO guests and facing the lake. On Satur-
day morning, Aug. %, the Raymond excursion
lists embarked on the new and trig little steam
er llconderoga, which in size and general APP
polntments is quite like the excursion boats in
Boston harbor. The weather was perfect and
tue scenery charming beyond all description.
lil2h mountains rise on either hand, the Adj
roudacks plainly visible on the left and the
Green mountains looming dimly on the right.
If the elevations We're higher and snow-capppd
the views would equal what have seen in the
highlands of Scotland or even along the shores
OF Lake Lucerne. Summer hotels are being
erected at the most slightly points which add to
the picuresqueness of the scene 1t is "A grand
