summer Excursion Route nook.

On June 1 the Passenger Department of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company issued
the 1897 edition Of its summer excursion
route book. This work is designed to pro-
vide the public with short descriptive notes
of the principal summer resorts of Eastern
America, with the routes for reaching them,
and the rates Of fare. There are over four
hundred resorts in the book to which rates
are quoted, and over fifteen hundred differ
ent routes or combinations of routes. 1t is
compiled with the utmost care, and alto
gether is the most complete and comprehen-
sive handbook of summer travel ever offered
to the public.
Its 219 pages are inclosed in handsome
and striking cover, in colors. Several maps
presenting the exact routes over which
tickets are sold, are bound in the book. II
is also profusely illustrated with fine half
tone cuts of scenery along the lines of the
Pennsylvania railroad and elsewhere.
Any doubt as to where the summer should
be passed will be dispelled aftera careful ex.
animation Of the contents Of this publica-
ton.
On and after June ! it may be procured al
any Pennsy ylvania Railroad ticket Office al
the nominal price of ten cents, or, upon
application to the general office, Broad
Street Station, by mail for twenty cents.
