A PACIFIC PARADISE. ^T^II!'; recent ac(|iiisition of the Hawaiian Islands by tlie United ^ States has opened to tiie pleasure and iiealtii-seeking tourist a delightful semi-troiiical country of virgin l)eauty and unrivalled attractiveness — anew world to Americans and Europeans, in which the resources of modern civilization contribute materially to an easy o < > o o u o and pleasurable exploration. The climatic conditions render this lovely mid ocean group of islands a charming resort at all seasons of the year, but especially during our winter months it offers an incomparable retreat for the delicately constituted. A I'ACIl'IC lAKADISK. A Mag^nificent Outing *5* The trip to Hawaii and a tmir through the islands, under the new- conditions, is a mere pleasure outiir^, shorn of the discomforts and inconveniences which in the past were usually attendant on prolonged journeys. It involves an interesting railway ride across the Nortii American continent through the Dominion of Canada, and the most delightful in the whole possible range of extended sea excursions from Vancouver down the Pacific. •X .J ^■*»: Across the Continent J- The transcontinental trip is made by the Canadian Pacific Rail- way from Montreal, the commercial metropolis of Canada, which is a day's or a night's ride from New York, Boston, and other eastern American cities. lUit tourists may travel by Niagara Falls and see the wonders of the Creat Cataract, and either connect with the trans- A rACU'IC I'ARAIMSK. continental train at 'I'oronto, the chief city of the Province of Ontario, or (luring the season of navij{ation (from May to und of October), at Kort William, at the western extremity of Lake Superior from Owen Sound on (leorgian Hay, an arm of Lake Huron, which is reached from Toronto by rail, the latter route including an enjoyable cruisf on the CIreat l'|)|)er Lakes i'l the C'anadian Pacific magniliceiil Upjier Lake Steamships. From the Middle- Western States the route is by thr " Soo Pacific" through Minnesota and Northern Dakota from St. Paul and Min- neapolis, which connects with the Canadian Pacific at Moo.se Jaw- on the i)luins of Western Canada. >>• f '■ V >f7rt' ■■'=■ 'V '^ KAMEHAMEHA STATITK, HONOLULU. An unusual diversity of scenery — from the rugged wildness of the picturesque north shore of Lake Superior to the pastoral beauty of Manitoba's mammoth wheat fields, and from the tranquillity of the great buffalo plains of the Canadian Northwest to the awful sublimity and grandeur of the titanic Mountain ranges of British Columbia — characterizes the overland journey, the perfect enjoy- ment of which is made possible by the excellence of the train service of the Canadian Pacific Railwav, whose sleeping and dining cars A I'At'lH'lf l\K\lirsK. art; models of lomfort and luxury.

From Revelstoke the famous gold and silver camps of the Kootenay can be reached by the Columbia River and Arrow Lakes, through a wonderfully picturesque region, lying between the Selkirk and Gold Mountain Ranges. 'I'ourists should leave home, however, in time to reach Vancouver not later than the day previous to the date of sailing, as the steamer leaves at daybreak. \ I'Al IKK rAKAIllSK.

I'RISUN. ThefcLand of Perpetual Bl oom ^ Honolulu, the chief city of the ITawaiian group, is the port of laiuling for those destined for the islands, and the port of call for the Canadian-Australian steamships, where the first insight is given of the dreamy native life of the I'acific. Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance of flowers unceasingly (ills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wid'i acres of sugar cane, the happy natives and the sea break- ing in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed by the volcanic hills — all these make up a picture that can never fade from memory, and combine to emphasize th^' novelty and augment the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but they are so grouped that all can be seen in a remarkal^ly brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect .system has been adopted for the conveyance and hous- ing of tourists at moderate rates. Honolulu itself is one of the world's beauty .spots, continually wreathed with the profuse luxuri- 6 \ r\r||ic I'AKAOIHK. ante and l)lo()m of tropical Vf((etation, and near it arc many lowly rtMorts to which the additional charms of historical association is lent. Within short distaiucs arc Nuiiafiii Pali, an historic precipice over wliiiii tlic ( )alHins wen; driven in tliousands hy Kiiij; Kame- hanicha the C'on(|Uv.ror ; Id tlic summit of Mount Tantalus, the hiniicst point near the city; to Punch Howl Hill; to Waikiki Meai h, a ilelinhtlul hathinf; place and summer res(;rt, and to many oliur interesting ami lovely spots. One could willingly linger here indeli nitely. Pe le^s Domain J- The wonderful Volcanoes, however, are too inviting to those fond of adventure, and the now extinct crater of Haleakala, the largest in the world, can easily be reached, or the descent made to the fiery pit of Kilauea into the very portals of Malemaumau, the plutonic home of the (loddess Pele. This fascinating " House of Fire," as A l>At IFIC I'AKADIHK. the \iTvM inxrmnn crater is numed, is thus descriht-d by a writer (lining; oiiu of its periodical eniptioDs : "The thill crust on tht; molten lai ■■J by its light and that of our lanterns we retraced our steps over the lava to where horses were in waiting to carry the ladies of the party up the hill again to the 'Volcano House.'" Several routes to these famous Volcanoes, involving different expenditures and length of time, may be followed. At regular intervals steamers leave Honolulu for the island of Hawaii, on which is the fiery Kilauea, there being a choice of two routes — one by Maui and around the northern coast of Hiiwaii to llilo, and the A I'ACIFIC PARAPtSK. Other along Mail", and thu southern coast of Hawaii to I'unaluu. Return can he made l)y a different route from that going, and the entire cost is from $50.00 to $So.oo (which includes steamer, hotel, and all other necessary expenses), according to route and duiation of trip. Other Interesting Islands J > Steamers leave Honolulu twice a week for the different ports on the island of Kauai, the lovely "Garden of the Oroup," on whicii are the largest sugar plantations in the world, the marvellous hark- ing sands and several wonderful caves. The Oahu Railway runs daily from Honolulu to luva and W'ai anae, passing en route numerous rice, hanana and pine-apple plan- tations, and giving a view of the famed t'earl River locks and the latelv founded I'earl C'itv. NATIVKS MAKINC I'D I. Between the two extremes of winsomeness and weirdness in this lotus-eating summer land of the Kanakas is a world of rare pleasures and novel experiences, for Hawaii is an incomparahle field for the tourist as well as for those seeking health and recujjeration. Its climate is equahle and saluhrious, its hright people and their institu- tions and customs and modes of life curious and interesting ; and amongst strange cultures of coffee, sugar, rice and fruit on immense plantations, showing progress and advancement, will he found the remains of ancient temples and cities of refuge and monuments of a vanished idolatry. The steamers of the Canadian- Australian line from Sydney, New South Wales, New Zealand and Fiji and Vancouver and Victoria, B.C., meet at Honolulu. Those returning hy the next steamer to America have four weeks at their disposal to explore the entire group. 9 '.: .'.:. A I'ACII'IC I'AKAOISK. HRK.AI) l''KfIT.
