LOwsTONE PARK VIA PENNsYI.-
VANIA RAILROAD.

The Yellowstone Park is one of the
most wonderfully attractive regions of
the world. Its beauties of scenery.
the wild grandeur of its mountains
and canons, compel the admiration of
every visitor, while its phenomenal
geysers and curious mineralogicaI for
nations make it rich field for the in
vestigation of the scientist. Universal
interest attaches to it, and in order
that the natural desire to visit it NAV
be accomplished in the most satisfac
tory manner. the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has arranged for tour COW
ering period of sixteen davs. leaving
New York and Philadelphia, August 81.
AS the tour will be run under the
personally-cOnducted tourist system
anaugurated by the above-named COM
pany, it is hardly necessary to give
the assurance that it will be arranged
IN the most complete manner. It
might be well to state, however. that
no other means of seeing the park thor
oughly is comparable to that afforded
by well-ordered personally-conduc-
ted tour.
A special train, consisting of a dining
Pullman vestibule drawing room sleep
ing compartment, and observation cars.
which will be the best that can be Sc
cured, will be provided, in which pas-
sengers will live en- route, and when
ever the journey is broken the choicest
rooms IN the leading hotels will bs re-
served for the use of the tourists for
which regular rates are paid, so that
the guests, although members of party
enjoy all the privileges of individuals
who may have made their own selec-
tions.
The party will be conducted through
out by tourist agent especially Sc
lected for his ability and experience
with chaperon to look after the COM
fort of lady passengers.
The rate, covering every necessary
expense, will be $21O from Boston, and
5000 from New York, Philadelphia
Baltimore, Washington, and Harris
burg; proportionate rates from other
points.

plication to Tourist Agent, 2O5 Wash

both conference, Saturday, decided
upon the star as their emblem, and
