thousands who never get here lacking the means
as much they need the change, could enjoy the
pure air Of these hills There is ample room for
all and a perennial welcome for everybody. But
while the air and the scenery free to rich and
poor alike It costs something to get here and one
gets hungry occasionally and needs bed to sleep
In. It is Of course possible to make provision for
these things in advance and to bring up full sup
plies with camp outfit. There is plenty Of tent
room free in the choicest spots. In fact many
come IN this way, but not usually for economical
reasons, because of the cost which is sure to
mount I'D IN the most inexplicabie and exasperat-
ing manner. Thus hotel life and farmhouse board
ing must be resorted TO. and with this most vis-
tors are happily content.
The general character Of this entertainment in
the Catskills VIII be found to compare favorably
with that furnished by the average summer resort
throughout the country An observant tourist
familiar with many of these summer regions in
this country says he finds the average character Of
these places in the Catskiis somewhat better than

coaches and their smaller capacity and the addi-
tional motive power required
Two mountain railway projects were
launched during the week. both for the same route

reaching that part of the mountains is said TO be
the main object Of these roads In any case there
must be many transfers by this route. and there
