THE GORGE.
The life work of Niagara River has been and continues to be the digging of the Niagara Gorge through which it flows. Those who have studied the subject thoroughly have reached the conclusion that the great trench was excavated by the running of the river itself. In its length, the gorge is in one sense a measure of the age of the river.

SCENE ON THE “GORGE ROUTE.”
This Electric road runs along the New York Shore, for much of the way, about twenty feet up from the water, and affords unequaled views of the Whirlpool Rapids, the great bridge and cliffs, the Whirlpool and all scenic features. The objects of interest along the Gorge Route are only second to the two great cataracts themselves.
