  HOBART, four miles beyond, is the next station. It is a pretty little village with a history antedating the Revolution. There is a fine falls and water power, which gave it the old name of "Waterville", which was afterward changed at the suggestion of Rev. Philander Chase, the old church rector, who became a bishop in Ohio in later years. There are several churches and various hotels and boarding houses where visitors come in increasing numbers each season, delighting to live in this dell in the southwestern margin of the Catskills, seventy-eight miles from the Hudson, and about 1,637 feet above it.
