DERKYFIETLD- At Amoskeag Falls (reached by North End car) is thefamous Amoskeag Bridge, from which in the springtime or onSundays when the mills are not in operation may be had agood view of the roaring torrent plunging among the huge rockswhich rise here and there above the surface. A little fartherup the east bank is Stark Park, formerly the homestead of Gen-eral Stark, of Revolutionary fame. On it are the old fashionedwell-sweep at the well, and the door stone of the house. From Manchester one may visit Derry, a growing manufac-turing community; or Lake Massabesic, a beautiful bodyof water from which the city obtains its water supply. Nearits shores is situated the theatre, the summer home of musicalcomedy, drama and vaudeville. Or one may take the Concord car to Concord (Eagle, $3.50 aday), the capital, with fine public buildings. C.=cents—m.—minutes.—Figures, leaving times past hour 127

CAR ASCENDING UNCANOONUC BY INCLINE RAILWAY —Uncanoonuc Mountain— The trip which no one should miss, however, is to UncanoonucMountain (by Goffstown car). This mountain, or rather pairof mountains, named from an Indian word suggested by theiroutline, is the highest land in the vicinity. Rising as it doesfrom the midst of a broad and fertile plain, it affords a magni-ficent view of the landscape. The city, seven miles away, seemsalmost at our feet and the rugged hills and distant mountainsform a fitting background for the broad fields, forests andmeadows dotted with lakes and hamlets, and threaded by silverstreams. On the summit stands the large Casino (rooms $1 up), withdance hall, broad verandas, and high outlook. A cable railwaytoils up the precipitous slope. In making the ascent the land-scape gradually unfolds until at the summit it is before us inall its grandeur, a sight not soon to be forgotten.85. LOWELL, MASS. & CONCORD, N. H.
