More Valuable Maps.

Another valuable addition to railroad literature has just been issued by the Passenger Department of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad. It is No. 5 of the “Four-Track Series,” entitled “America’s Winter Resorts,” and its conception and execution are in keeping with the high standard which marks these publications. No. 5 briefly illustrates dnd describes the principal winter resorts of America, including the great Southern resorts, Cuba, Puerto Rico, California and the Hawaiian Islands. One of the striking features of this folder, however, is the series of maps in five colors, occupying one entire side. These maps are probably the flnest of their kind ever published by a railroad. The center map shows North and South America, and is presented for the purpose of aiding the Pan-American Exposition, xwhich is to be held at Buffalo, N. Y-, in 1901. A profile outline of the Nicaragua and Panama Canals is also shown, giving elevations, location of locks, etc. The winter resorts of ail sections of the United States, Cuba and Puerto Rico are indicated by a large red dot, the map of the Southern California resorts being on an enlarged scale. These maps are fully in keeping with the high standard of excellence established by the New York Central in this class of work, and being geographically correct, are valuable for reference, aside from being a guide to the resorts of America, ( * A copy of “Four-Track Series,” No. 5, will be sent free, post-paid, on receipt of a one-cent stamp, by George H. Daniels, General Passenger Agent, New York Central Railroad, Grand Central Station, New York City.
