RECREATION, 



The Ingersoll 

 Dollar Watch is worn by 

 every judicious sportsman 

 on outings instead of the Hun- 

 dred Dollar one, because even 

 if it is injured a dollar does 

 not break him and besides it keeps bet- 

 ter time under rough u-age than the 

 most expensive — that is an indisput- 

 able fact; it's a beauty too.

NEW YORK 



A REMARKABLE MAP. 



The growing appreciation of the use of 

 beauty in the statement of facts is well 

 exemplified in a map just issued by the 

 G. P. A. of the New York Central Rail- 

 way. 



Intended largely* for distribution in Eu- 

 rope, Asia and the "Islands of the Sea," in 

 connection with "Around the World" busi- 

 ness, this new map consists of a beautiful 

 and accurate delineation of the United 

 States on a sheet 20 by 48 inches in size, 

 the ocean spaces in the corners being util- 

 ized for smaller-scale maps of the Atlantic 

 ocean and Europe, the Pacific ocean with 

 the Asiatic coast, Australia, Alaska and the 

 Klondike region. 



The map is unusually clear and distinct 

 and shows all the railroads in the United 

 States. The artistic treatment is admira- 

 ble, the soft buff tint of the land blending 

 with and shading into the rich olive of 

 the mountains and contrasting pleasingly 

 with the blue of the water, while the whole 

 is brightened by the red lines representing 

 . the New York Central system. 

 \ The number and extent of these lines 

 ' will be a revelation to anyone who thinks 

 I of the "New York Central" simply as a 

 j road running between New York and Buf- 

 | falo, for they reach from Boston on the 

 i East to Chicago, St. Louis and Peoria on 

 ! the West; and from Montreal and Macki- 

 naw City on the North to Cairo, Cincin- 

 nati and Pittsburg on the South. 



This surprising fact is readily explained, 

 however, by the statement beneath the 

 map title that the system embraces in its 

 through-car lines the New York Central 

 & Hudson River, Boston & Albany, Lake 

 Shore & Michigan Southern, Michigan 

 Central, "Big Four Route," and Pittsburg 

 & Lake Erie Railways. These lines, 

 brought out conspicuously in red, clearly 

 demonstrate the fact that this famous sys- 

 tem covers the most populous section of 

 the United States, passing through cities 

 with an aggregate population of nearly 

 20,000,000, and carries its patrons through 

 the best country to the best places, includ- 

 ing the best health and pleasure resorts of 

 New York, New England, the Atlantic 

 coast and the Great lakes. 



One of the most remarkable features of 

 the map, however, is the treatment of the 

 mountains. Contour lines are introduced 

 showing elevations, and the slopes are 

 heavily shaded to give "lift" to the higher 

 ranges and peaks, with the result that these 

 features stand out in bold relief as though 

 modeled in clay. 



A copy of No. 21 of the New York Cen- 

 tral's "Four-Track Series," which contains, 

 in addition to this valuable map, a large 

 amount of information of interest to all 

 travelers — whether "Round the World" or 

 not — will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of 

 3 cents, by George H. Daniels, G. P. A..
