CHRISTMAS VACATION OUTINGS.

Following its syearly custom. the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company proposes running a
special holiday tour to Old Point Comfort on
December 20, leaving New York at 500 and
Philadelphia 1920 A. NJ. $18 from New York,
$l5 from Philadelphia. and proportionatsly low
rates from intermediate and contiguous points
will cover hotel accommodations, railroad fare,
meals en- route. and, in fact, all necessary ex
penses during the period of four days which
will be spent on the trip. This outing appeals
strongly for the consideration of those desiring
to spend q few days pleasantly and profitable,
and apart from the attractivensss of the jaunt a
decided educational benefit is TO be derived
from a familiarity with this historic spot. The
Hygeia Hotel, famous throughout the land as
one Of the finest hostelriss of this country, will
be the resting place OF the tourists. At the
same rates will be sold another ticket going
with tour proper, including but one days board
at Hygsia, but good to return via Richmond
and Washington, aud valid for stop Off at those
cities until January 4, 1894
Two other trips deserving attention are those
to Washington on the 14th and 18th of the
month. Three days will be occuoied GU each.
$i3 from New York, S1i from Philadelphia, and
corresponding rates from other points, are GER
tainly low enough tor the most modest purse.
These last mentioned tours will leave New
York at HOO A. NJ. and Philadslphla so P. NJ,
stopping at the principal stations between New
York and Wilmington.
