GOLDEN GATE TOURS.

Under the Personally Conducted System Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
California and the Pacific Coast resorts
have become so popular in recent years with
the better class of winter rest and pleasure
seekers that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has decided to run two Golden
Gate tours this winter, one to include the
famous Mardi Gras spectacle at New Or
leans. On the going trip both tours will
travel by the Golden Gate Special, one of
the finest trains that crosses the continent.
One tour will return by this train, while
passengers by the other and later tour will
use regular trains returning. In California,
passengers will be entirely at their own
pleasure in the matter of itinerary. Should
a sufficiently large number of passengers
desire to join in taking an itinerary sug-
gested by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, the services of a Tourist Agent and
Chaperon will be at their disposal.
The first tour will leave New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and
other points on Thursday, January 90, and
will travel via Chicago, Kansas City and
Ell Paso to Los Angeles and San Diego,
arriving at the latter point February 2.
An entire month may be devoted to visit
ing California resorts, the Golden Gate Spe-
cial leaving San Francisco on the return
trip Tuesday, March 3, and returning via
Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Colorado
Springs, and Denver. The rate for this
tour will be $500, covering all expenses OF
railroad transportation, including side trips
in California, as well as berth and meals on
the Golden Gate Special going and return
ing. No hotel expenses in California are
included. Tickets are good for return trip
for nine months, excepting that passengers
who do not return on the Special must pro-
vide their own Pullman accommodations
and meals eastbound.
Tour No. will leave Thursday, Febru-
AIRY 10, by the Golden Gate Special. Cincin-
natl, Montgomery, and Mobile will be

at Beaumont Texas, Houston, Texas, San
Antonio, and Ell Paso. The train will ar
rive at San Diego, February 20. So far as

cient number desire to take suggested
