UO OCEAN TO OCMN ON KORSESACR. 



the most satisfactory place to get a retrospective 

 view of Cleveland as it was to the pioneer. About 

 here the Indians stayed unmolested long after they had 

 sold their land to the white man, and across the river 

 on the slope the first log cabin stood. The scene which 

 takes its place is almost bewildering with its network 

 of factories, lake and river craft and housetops. Here 

 and there a dot: of green rises above the buildings, be- 

 traying the presence of the elms and maples which 

 have been jealously preserved and which are one of 

 the characteristic beauties of the "Forest City." 



During my stay here, nothing was more gratifying 

 than a walk or ride through the broad streets in the 

 shade of these trei3s. It made summer in the city 

 something to stay for, and not something to run away 

 from. There were many drives leading out beyond 

 the limits daily frequented by pleasure-seekers, and 

 inviting out-of-the-way places for those who were 

 unable to go elsewhere. Beside these, the lake 

 though the shallowest in the cliain and sometimes 

 treacherous on that account, is a continual clarifier and 

 beautiful to look upon. As for the old-time " God," 

 and his attendant maladies, who tyrannized over the 

 pioneer, they seem to have vanished, and now I ven- 

 ture to say there is no healthier city in the country 

 than Cleveland and certainly none more attractive.
