The comet will visit Mars first, and proceed to Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn.  Parties connected with the government of the District of Columbia and with the former city government of New York, who may desire to inspect the rings, will be allowed time and every facility.  Every star of prominent magnitude will be visited, and time allowed for excursions to points of interest inland.

Thedog star

has been stricken from the program.  Much time will be spent in the Great Bear, and, indeed, in every constellation of importance.  So, also, with the Sun and Moon and the Milky Pay, otherwise the Gulf Stream of the Skies.  Clothing suitable for wear in the sun should be provided.  Our program has been so arranged that we shall seldom go more than 100,000,000 of miles at a time without stopping at some star.  This will necessarily make the stoppages frequent and preserve the interest of the tourist.  Baggage checked through to any point on the route.  Parties desiring to make only a part of the proposed tour, and thus save expense, may stop over at any star they choose and wait for the return voyage.

After visiting all the most celebrated stars and constellations in our system and personally, inspecting the remotest sparks that even the most powerful telescope can now detect in the firmament, we shall proceed with good heart upon

A stupendous voyage

of discovery among the countless whirling worlds that make turmoil in the mighty wastes of space that stretch their solemn solitudes, their unimaginable vastness billions upon billions of miles away beyond the farthest verge of telescopic vision, till by comparison the little sparkling vault we used to gaze at on Earth shall seem like a remembered phosphorescent flash of spangles which some tropical voyager’s prow stirred into life for a single instant, and which ten thousand miles of phosphorescent seas and tedious lapse of time had since diminished to an incident utterly trivial in his recollection.  Children occupying seats at the first table will be charged full fare.

First-class fare

from the Earth to Uranus, including visits to the Sun and Moon and all the principal planets on the route, will be charged at the low rate of $2 for every 50,000,000 miles of actual travel.  A great reduction will be made where parties wish to make the round trip.  This comet is new and in thorough repair and is now on her first voyage.  She is confessedly the fastest on the line.  She makes 20,000,000 miles a day, with her present facilities; but, with a picked American crew and good weather, we are confident we can get 40,000,000 out of her.  Still, we shall never push her to a dangerous speed, and we shall rigidly prohibit racing with other comets.  Passengers desiring to diverge at any point or return will be transferred to other comets.  We make close connections at all principal points with all reliable lines.  Safety can be depended upon.  It is not to be denied that the heavens are infested with
