(Those who wish to vary their style of return might well take the 3.45 p. m. steamer at Gardiner and enjoy the cool two-hours sail down the Kennebec to Bath, arriving at 6 p. m.

For the convenience of the through traveler, local tickets covering the entire journey have been assembled and bound in book form ($3.75). You buy all your tickets before you start. No more bother! Buy of Raymond & Whitcomb Co. at 225 Fifth Avenue, or of the Union News Co., at Harlem River Station, where one takes the Westchester. Tickets for part way may also be bought at the offices of the trolley company in Newhaven, New London, Norwich, and Providence. (The route from New York as far as Newhaven is fully described: pages 9-15. Full itineraries are given on page 66.) J\
