of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
can lie seen the grandest spectacle of
natures won lcrs presented by any
railroad on the Glote, on account Of
which this road has gained the much
merited tit.e of the Scenic Line of the
World"
The Rio Grande is essentially the
tourists line, and over it the traveller
secures equal comfort and speed. with
the ADDED pleasure of bcholding sights
and scenes unequalled for grandeur,
beauty and sublimity anywhere in this
country or Europe. No American
should miss the opportunity to see the
grandeur of his own country as seen
only by journey over this line, and
by so doing hang such pictures on
the walls of memory, that all
the attempts of the most celebrated
artists will seem weak and trivial in
the presence of Nature majestic works

Rocky Mountains. If any of our
readers desire to know more about
these stupenduous works of Nature,

will send you, free of cost, elegantly
illustrated books giving u full decrip-

They are three miles in length and lie

nels for the up and down lines are
formed of cast iron from beginning to
end. save where the stations are built
and their diameter is ten and ten and
one-half feet, the tubes being formed
of rings one foot seven inches long,
made in sections and bolted together.
The tunnels were driven by means Of

Luxurious travelling.

The rush of summer travel to the
New England and White Mountain
summer resorts is this season taxing
the capacity even of the immense
steamers of the Providence line. Any
one, however, who has ever made u
trip on this line will not wonder a its
popularity.
Its superiority arises from the fact
that 1t has the longest water route and
shortest rail ride between New York
and Boston of any Sound line, assur-
ing full nights rest with early arrival.
The main deck dining rooms-a feature
possessed only by this line-are also
greatly appreciated. Magnificent
steamers, splendid music, parlor car
trains, and extensive connections,
make this line the favorite route to all
New England and White Mountain
summer resorts.
