there very liberal gifts of flowers for
the graves, also to the Band for their

The Pennsylvania Railroads New
Summer Excurslon-R Route Book.

The Pennsylvania Railroads New
Summer Excurslon-Route Book.
The Pennsylvania Railroads
Summer Excursion Route Book for
the season of 1891, just from the
press, is undoubtedly one of the most
elaborate reference compendiums
issued by any railroad company in
the world. The company this year
has used new Illustrations, printed
on very high grade paper, while a
decided departure from the old cover
heretofore binding the work is seen
in the new one, which is beautifully
illuminated, and would do credit to
the brush of q Rossi, so cleverly
French is it in every detail. The
new map embraces territory from
Canada to the Carolinas. and from
the British possession of New Bruins
wick to beyond the Great Inlano
Lakes. When comparison is made
with this volume of 272 pages, 100
illustrations, and over 1900 routes, a
book which enters its year of man
hood the first day of June, 1891, and
the tiny pamphlet of "a pages and So
routes issued twenty o. years ago
by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
considered at that time marvellous
departure in railroad advertising,
the growth is hardly credible.
