visitors to the national capital can take is
the sail down the Potomac and Chesapeake
bay on the elegant steamers of the Norfolk
and Washington company and stay at
Fortress Monroe. This famous old winter
resort Is one of the best-known places on
the Atlantic seaboard and ranks with the
resorts of Florida and California as an
ideal spot at which to spend a few days or
the entire winter season. Those going from
this city will find that one of the pleasures
of the trip is the time spent on the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company $
steamers. These modern vessels are fitted
up In handsome style, with spacious state
rooms and elegant saloons. They are heat
equipped with all the modern convenienceS

expressly for this service, and heated
throughout by steam, which leaves 7th
street wharf every weekday a 10 am. and
40 pm, returning due to arrive at Wash
ington at 1:40 and 5:15 pm. The sail of
