In a water trip to Chicago or Milwaukee, there is considerable diversity of choice. The Lake Michigan and Lake Superior Transportation Co.'s steamers running without stops straight through the center of the lake, afford a quick trip and the novelty of being in mid-sea for twenty-four hours. The Northern Michigan steamers, coasting to all important points on the Lake Michigan east shore, and consequently taking up more time, afford the tourist a better opportunity to view the industries of the region. Coming back to the service more directly connected with the island, we may mention that nothing gives a more general idea of its wonders than a trip around its shores in one of the numerous steam yachts. These trips are on at all hours of the day. So, also, are the fishing excursions to Les Cheneaux, than which no more delightful way of spending one day may be contrived. The ferry steamers, and the constant move- ment of steamers of regular routes, afford excellent opportunities to visit the mainland either north or south at any hour of the day or night.
PETOSKEY is a charming resort situated on the side of a high bluff near the head of Little Traverse Bay. The town numbers 3,500 souls, and has a water front

THE INLAND ROUTE is undoubtedly the most interesting one between Mackinac and Petoskey. Nothing short of a water trip through the heart of Florida can compare to this wonderfully novel route by crooked rivers and lovely lakes, across the northern end of Michigan. Even with the former the comparison ends here, as the salubrious climate and the high forest grown shore are lacking. A little steamer leaves Mackinac at 7 o'clock, Cheboygan at 9 o'clock every morning, and after picking her way among logs and booms, past saw-mills and through the lock, steams up the crooked Cheboygan to Mullet Lake. The lake is 12 miles long by 5 wide, with a charming ruggedness of outline, caused by the thickly wooded hills which completely encircle it and form its shores. Topinabee, a favorite spot for campers, is situated at the further end, and here the passengers debark for dinner. After a short rest the little vessel resumes her journey, and worries through Indian River into Burt Lake, the lower end of which is crossed in reaching Crooked River. The latter stream is the shallowest and most crooked of the three, and although the steamer draws but thirty inches of water, it is only by a constant succession of twists and turns, scrapes and pushes and stops and backs that she gets through to Crooked Lake, where after a run of three miles, she ties up to the wharf at Oden, after an exciting and highly interesting day. A dummy starts immediately on the eight-mile run to Petoskey, where it arrives in season for supper. The little steamers Romeo and Juliet. which compose this line, are marine marvels. A vessel capable of carrying 150 passengers, which may safely and constantly make the trip through mid-lake from Mackinac to Cheboygan, yet at the same time is compact enough to wriggle through stretches of river that would seem impossible to crafts larger than a skiff, must be the handiwork of a genius. The twin screw system now in use on the most famous ocean flyers, has been employed in miniature to furnish the motive power. This enables the boat to turn in her own length, but even then, poles and ropes are in frequent demand, and the ingenuity and experience of the captain is taxed to the utmost.
MARQUETTE, the metropolis of Lake Superior country, is a very handsome city. Its business portion displays great activity and metropolitan tastes. Its resi- dences, which are exceedingly beautiful, are placed high up on a bluff to the north, and command a view of the lake for 30 miles. While its. central location makes it a capital base of operations for all the lovers of the rod and gun who visit these natural game preserves, it possesses no small attractions within itself. Speckled trout may be caught in the streams near by, while in the bay lake trout of twenty to thirty pounds in weight furnish exciting sport. The hotels are of the best, and everything necessary for hunting and fishing may easily be obtained.
THE TRIP TO THE SOO is worthy of note. The steamer after rounding Mackinac Island follows the northern shore of Lake Huron as far as Detour, at the entrance of the St. Mary's River, where the real interest begins. The river is 62 miles long, and is composed of a succession of beautiful straits and broad lakes. It is almost entirely shut in by high hills, which rise from the water's edge. In the many beauties and eccentricities of the stream and its outline, it is freely compared to the Hudson and other famous rivers. The channel is narrow, crooked and shallow, how- ever, and must be passed by daylight. This is usually accomplished at dawn, this line being the only one which makes it at mid-day. The river is full of islands, and there are many popular hunting and fishing resorts along its course.
SAULT STE. MARIE, a city of 8,000 inhabitants, may be reached by rail or water. There is much of interest about the old place. It lies on the left bank of the river, just below the famous government ship canal, built for the purpose of passing the St. Mary's Rapids. The government works are exceedingly interesting. The immense and perfect structure of masonry, the water power which runs all the machinery necessary to operate the monster gates of the lock, and the dynamos which furnish the electric lighting, are perfect in all their details, and well display man's ingenuity.
