Five times a day one may soo a throng of travelers gathered within the walls of :he Michigan Central passenger station, at the foot of Lake street in Chicago, as ;he hour approaches for one of the finely appointed expresa trains of this fuvorite ine to pull out on its rapid journey to ;he rising sim. All classes of the popuiation are found there, and representa:ives of every nation and every people of ;he globe; but, in the summer time, f rom :he firet appearance of civic dust and jeat, the predominoting element is the summer tourist - quiet, well dreBsed, intelligent, knowing the best places to go ;o, and the best meansof getting there. For the American, maa or womnn, is a :raveler and knows how to travel, and finding himself or herself at the wonder!ul center of teaming life and industry, ;he Garden City of the Lakes, goes eastward by the Michigan Central, "The Singara Palla Boute," to the thousand places of natural beauty and sublimity, of fashion, of health and of trade, that crowd the eastern and northern portions of our oountry. The pyramid ot baggage rapidly disappears in the portals of the capacious baggage oar ; uniformed conductor shouts "All aboard!" the iron tiorse anorta as he leaps forward toward the mountains and the sea, and off we gu. Where to? Altnost anywhere. For, as of old, all roads led to Rome, now the Michigan Central leads to about all the places worth going to. First and foremost, to Niágara, for there is but one Niágara Falls on the earth, and but one direct great railway to it. But also to Maokinao Island, the northern paradise; to the Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence river; to the Muskoka lakes, Ottawa and Montreal; to the White Mountoins, Saratoga, Lake George, the Hudson and the Catskills, and a thousand other laken, mountains and seaside re sorts, regarding which Mr. O. W. Buggles, the G. P. and T. A. at Chicago, wili send you illustrated information upon application, if your nearest ticket agent is out of the Michigan Central handsome folders.
