the number is limited. Each ticket entities
the holder to reserved seat coupon during
the day. There is no crowdlng or confusion
either going or returning. Small packages
and parcels can be left in the cars with per-
feet safety, as they are locked and guarded
by special watchmen. Covered phaetons

erns and protect them from the sun and
rain, so that the weather has nothing to do
with the success Of the trip. No change of
clothing is necessary; pair OF gum shoes

pensable, as the walks are comparatively
dry. The caves are lighted with electric
lights, aided by hundreds of candles, thus

forty miles below Washington, on the Mary
land shore, directly opposite the battle
fields of Aqua creek, one hour from the
white house by the Richmond and Freder-
cksburg railway, and two hours by steamer.
This magnificent property, lying some
seventy feet above the Potomac, affords Il
picturesque view Of that beautiful river for
many miles. The long level plane on the
opposite shore traveIsed by the railway,
with the outlines Of the celebrated Blue
Hills Of Virginia in the far distance, fills
the background Of the picture. The old
