273 CIIANBETIRY LAKE. — THE OSWEGATCIIlR, 



go as a tourist, you should select some of the easier routes, 

 and those upon whicli regular convej'ances run, — as, by 

 way of the Adirondack Raih'oad and stage to Blue Mt. 

 Lake, or ])y rail-road to Point of Kocks and stage to Paul 

 Smith's. IfoAvever, convej'ances for parties of three or 

 four or more can be pro(;ure(l at I'easonable rates at an}^ of 

 the points of entrance already mentioned. 



Again, as a tourist you may take yovn* i'amily with 3'ou. 

 There are, on the principal routes through the wilderness, 

 comfortable although generally' unpretentious "hotels," 

 less than a hard day's journej^ apart, so that an entire fam- 

 ily, including ladies and children, may travel for a hun- 

 dred miles and sleep under a roof every night. 



For such a journey, 'gentlemen may wear their ordinary 

 clothing, being careful, however, to provide boots or shoes 

 suitable for occasional mudd}' walking over " carries," a 

 hat that will endure a smart rain, and a light rubber over- 

 coat. Ladies need good walking shoes, dresses that do not 

 trail, and rubber wraps. A good umbrella is serviceable 

 against sun and rain. Woolen clothing is best. On the 

 water, sit still in the hoat, heed the suggestions of j'our boat- 

 man, and 3"0u are as safe as in a rail-road car. Leave all 

 heav}' baggage at the point of entrance, or have it for- 

 warded to the point where you are again to resume rail-road 

 travel. 



As a sportsman, seeking the wilderness for the fishing 

 and hunting, the requirements are ver}' different. First, to 

 find fish or garne, you must go to solitary and secluded 

 lakes and streams, away from the much-traveled routes ;
