You will be packing your trunks and grips for that long-planned trip to
The Great Chicago Fair.
Everybody wishes upon this, the opportunity of a life-time, to see as much as possible ; therefore you should use NOT A LITTLE THOUGHT in the selection of THE ROUTE. The
Maine . Central . Railroad
Your own state line, is the eastern end of
Two Unequalled Routes to the World's Fair.
NUMBER ONE.
Leads from the coast and interior through Portland, thence over the White Mountain Division of the Maine Central, cutting the grand old White Hills in their central and most picturesque portion. The line then extends through St. Johnsbury, Swanton, and via the Rome, Watertown and Ogdens- burg and New York Central 4-track line to Niagara Falls, preceeding thence via the Michigan Central R. R. to the
NUMBER TWO.
Proceeds as Number 1 through the Craw- ford Notch, one of the most remarkable mountain passes in the world, which justly ranks with Yosemite and Niagara as the three natural wonders of the world, thence via St. Johnsbury and Newport (Vermont) to Montreal,-fine views being afforded of the Dominion Capital,-Cana dian Pacific Railroad to Detroit, thence on to the
WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS.
Through Drawing Room Sleeping Cars via both routes from Maine to Chicago.
REMEMBER
The Maine Central is the ONLY line by which the Grand Scenery of the
WHITE MOUNTAINS AND NIAGARA FALLS
Can be enjoyed while en route to Chicago.
