Two hundred and seventeen miles from Chi- 
eayo, Glendale is reached. It is in the midst 
of a fine trouting country and in a neighbor- 
hood where game is plentiful. Many streams, 
literally alive with brook trout, are within four 
to six miles of the village. The Glendale 
House offers good fare to the sportsman. 
Lake Torrence, well stocked with brook 
trout, is within half a mile of Kendalls, a sta- 
tion two hundred and nineten miles from Chi- 
in Central Wisconsin. Situated in a fertile 
valley, entirely surrounded by gigantic bluffs 
and rocky elevations, near the headwaters of 
the La Crosse River, it presents, with its 
- handsome white-painted dwellings and church 
edifices, its costly business houses and public 
buildings, with streets adorned with natural 
and cultivated foliage, the appearance of a 
prosperous Southern country-seat. Its sur-

Wilton, two hundred and twenty-eight miles

Sparta, two hundred and forty-six miles 
from Chicago, is one of the finest inland towns 
tic. To the northwest, and at a distance of 
five miles, can be seen Castle Rock, towering 
majestically to a height several hundred feet 
above the level of the river, standing like a 
silent sentinel on the top of the encircling cor- 
don of bluffs that surround the valley. From 
its lofty summit can be seen the blue hills of 
Minnesota, across the ‘‘ Fathers of Waters,” 
and an extended panorama of hill aud dale is 
presented to the admiring gaze. Looking back 
to the southward, the eye rests (in Summer)

with its nice farm-houses, teeming fields of
