The reduced rates authorized
by the transcontinental railroads
on account of the Annual Con
vention of the National Educa-
tional Association, to be held in

Railroad Company to offer to
those contemplating attendance
at this convention a opportunity
under the direction of its popular
personally conducted tourist syS-
TEN, not only of visiting the beau
tiful city in which the convention
is to be held, and participating
in the deliberations of the con
vention, but also of visiting the
Yellowstone National Park, at a
cost impossible under ordinary
conditions of travel
The Yellowstone Park is never
more attractive than during the
month of July, and the tourists
under the care of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will be afforded
the fullest opportunity of visiting
all its unique attractions, includ-
ing the Mammoth Hot Springs,
the Geysers, the beautiful Lake
and the Grand Canon of the yell

an observation car, all of the

tial train will be at the command

cessity of securing accommoda-
tiOns at hotels.
The beauties of the Yellow
stone National Park, most aptly
termed Natures Wonderland,
must be seen to be appreciated.
From the top of the stages in
which the tour of the park is
made, there is spread out before
the traveller constantly chang
ing panorama of wonderS-SnOw-
crowned mountains; tumbling and
tossing rivers; Yellowstone Lake,
like a great blue sea nestled
amongst the beetling crags, at an
altitude above that of the summit
of Mt. Washington; the curious
natural springs, where chemical
deposits glisten in the suns rays
with all the colors of the rain bow;
the Geysers, ever presenting a
scene of varied charm and awe
inspiring wonder.
The accommodations on this
tour will necessarily be limited,
and intending tourists should APP
ply early in order to secure reser-
vations of space. A detailed
itinerary is in course of prepare
ton, and all inquiries regarding
