B. Russell, proprietor, also makes a 
specialty of caring for tourists. 
Green Bay is one hundred and thir- 
teen miles from Milwaukee. Pickerel, 
black and white bass, perch and _ stur- 
geon, are found in the bay and in the 
numerous ponds and bayous in the neigh- 
borhood, which are also resorts of im- 
mense flocks of wild duck in season. 
Sail and row boats and steam yachts 
can be hired at low prices. (See page 
120.) Green Bay is the terminus of 
the “short line.” Resuming the route 
on the main line, the next point of in- 
terest is 
Gill’s Landing, one hundred and twen- 
ty-six miles from Milwaukee, where the 
road crosses Wolf River. There are no 
accommodations for parties at this point, 
but he who wants can get a “ rough and 
tumble” with the agent, and hunters find 
more game near here than elsewhere in 
the State. Close at hand are lakes, 
ponds, and bayous, which are resorts for 
immense flocks of wild ducks in season. 
Plover, snipe, woodcock, and pigeons 
are abundant. 
There are few places to be found that 
present greater inducements to the tour- 
ist than the unostentatious little city of 
Waupaca, one hundred and _ thirty-six 
miles from Milwaukee. In a country 
not yet entirely reclaimed from a state of 
nature, the sojourner will discover in the 
panorama of views some exquisite scen- 
ery, landscapes of woodland, meadow, 
and uncultivated tracts dotted with vil- 
lages; rivers, with their changing moods 
of gentle currents and hurrying rapids; 
Omnibusses are at every-

lakes and ponds of varying size, mirror- 
ing in their depths the beauties of earth 
and sky; hills of increasing height, from 
the low eminence to that of lofty gran- 
deur and crowned with forest growth, 
meet the eye at every turn. Within the 
city limits of Waupaca, at the foot of 
Main street, are two beautiful lakes, 
Mirror and Shadow. ‘The banks are 
very high, and consist of fine groves, some 
of them having been fitted up for social 
gatherings. These two lakes are con- 
nected by a channel fifteen or twenty 
feet w'de; and as they are each over a 
mile in Jength, they afford ready oppor- 
tunity for those who delight in boating,

Wolfat Gill’s Landing. A very pleasant 
day can be spent by taking a boat and 
allowing it to glide gently down the 
Waupaca River below the mills. This 
swift-rolling stream, which passes 
through the place, is rapid and_ tortu- 
ous; the distance, in a straight line from 
the city of Waupaca to the mouth of the 
Wolf, is but twelve miles, but following 
the thread of the river in its winding 
course, the distance is forty to fifty miles. 
But the most attractive feature of this 
locality is the somewhat noted “ Chain 
of Lakes,” two and a half miles west of 
the city. Here are eight lakes, all con- 
nected by natural channels, extending 
some five or six miles, presenting a scene 
of enchanting loveliness. The attraction 
is enhanced by the little islands that stud 
the bosom of the waters; by the penin- 
sulars, or sharp points, that thrust them- 
selves out into the lakes; by the high 
shores covered with dense foliage, and, 
by the rugged cliffs rising at places.

is most excellent — pickerel, white and 
black bass predominating. The Vos-
