Tours to California.
California has been most fittingly termed
tho "Italy of America." All the delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, and the rich ver
dure of tho great European peninsula aro
duplicated I'l this sunny land of tho Pacific.
Hero nature basks In tho sunshine or her own
beauty; and here sho has established her
own sanitarium, wliero eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With tho snow
mantled peaks of tho Sierras upon the one
hand, tho calm raclllc with itssoit urcczes
upon tlio otlier, and a veritable paradise of
flowers, fruits and plants between, man can
fiud and needs no lovelier land. To visit
such a country is a privilege, a blessing.
Tlio Pennsylvania lUilroad Company,
recognizing the need of a more comfortable
and pleasant way of crossing tho continent,
inaugurated a scries of annual tours to Cali
fornia, running a through train of Pullman
palace cars from New York to the Paclflo
Coast, and stopping at tho principal points of
interest en route. The great popularity of
these tours demonstrates tho wisdom of tho
movement.
For the season of 1897 thrco tours have
been arranged to leave Now York, Philadel
phia, and Pittsburg, January 87, February
24, and March 27.
The first tour will run direct to San Diego
via St. Louis and tho Santa Fe Koute, and re
turn from Ran Francisco via Salt Lako City,
Denver, and Chicago, allowing flvo weeks in
California.
Tlio second tour will run via the Mammoth
Cave and New Orleans to Sail Diego, stopping
at the "Crescent City" during the Mardl
Oras Carnival. This tour will return via
Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, and Chicago,
allowing four weoksin California.
The third tour will run via Chlcago.Denver,
and Salt Ijtko City, allowing passengers to re
turn by regular trains via different routes
within nine months.
All of these tours, either going or return
ing, will pass through the famous Colorado
region, Glenwood Springs, Lcadvlllo and the
