HOW TO SEE NIAGARA FALLS,
Timely Hints to Visitors Early Star
from Buffalo is desirable.


(From the New York Mail and Express }
To visit Niagara from Buffalo this As
tonishing summer you must get UP cv-
trem"ly early IN the morning This is not
slang; IT Is sedate and sober fact For
since everybody who comes to the Pan
American wants to see the Falls, trains
ana trolleys and boats alike groan uud- r
their loads of sWeltering humanity
heretore you must get under way with
the birds II you want a comfortable trip
There are three ways to 60. The ira s
and the boats make the run in about an
hour the trolley takes an hour and a ha II
from Main street. On the other hand. the
trolleys run So frequently (ahout once in
10 minutes, or oftener) that you some
times save time by going that way. AS
for beauty. the water route ranks first
then the rail- and last the tyolley For
unfortunately the electric road failed to
secure right Of way along the river, and
Is Obliged to snake about through the I'M
attractive streets OF North Buffalo and
Tonawanda, not reaching the water $
edge until within four or five miles Of the
Fails. The train, while II is cindery,
skirts the river most Of the way and
gives you wide views Of the lake and the
water front OF Buffalo.
But the boat, leaving the foot of Ferry
street, easily outdOes them both. You
VIII never appreciate the magnificent
span of the Niagara as it leaves Lake
Eric until you are afoat in midstraam.
