POINTS OF INTEREST 



ALONG THE LINE OF THE 



WISCONSIN CENTRAL RAILROAD. 



This is no less a sporting route, or "fishing line "than the one 

 previously mentioned. Each is par-excellence in its way The 

 <; Central" passes through some of the wildest of forest-lands, and 

 its scenery is of a peculiar beauty not met with elsewhere. 



In the vicinity of Lake Winnebago there is more wild game 

 shooting than one would suppose, considering the number of 

 populous cities bordering its shores. Westward along the Fox and 

 Wolf Rivers, and especially about Lake Poygan, small game and 

 fish are to be had in abundance. Snipe, plover, wood-cock, prairie- 

 chickens and ducks abound in this section of the state, and all the 

 various species of fish indigenous to Wisconsin waters are found 

 here. DOXY'S ISLAND at Neenah and Menasha is noted, far 

 and near, for the fine fish caught there. It has become a sort of 

 rendezvous for Southern sportsmen, who bring their families with 

 them. 



At GILL'S LANDING, WEYAUWEGA and WATTPACA, 

 hunting and fishing are good. The CHAIN OF LAKES near the 

 latter place is one of the finest sporting grounds in this section. Sev- 

 eral members of fishing and boating clubs have built comfortable 

 cottages upon the shores of the " Chain of Lakes," and a well-kept 

 hotel graces as handsome a site as one could wish for. 



At Stevens Point the Wisconsin River is crossed, then proceeding 

 along the line the traveler will scarcely be interested except to note 

 the almost unbroken forest, the numerous streams and prosperous 

 villages, until perhaps Phillips is called out by the train "elocution- 

 ist." We say elocutionist advisedly, for we believe there is not in 

 America another road where the brakemen call out the names of 

 places in so clear, distinct and melodious a voice as they do here
