from Diagara to tk Sea.

nOWUKRK on the continent of North America is there a
more picturesque region than that which lies between
Niagara and the sea. Niagara itself is one of the won-
ders of the world, with a fascination for all, and it is so easily
reached from all directions that it is usually first visited by tourists
who are desirous of seeing this greatest of Nature's marvels, and
"doing" the grand tour of the famed Thousand Islands of the St.
Lawrence. From all points south of the international boundary
there is direct railway communication ; nearly all the trunk lines of
the United States converging at this great gateway to the tourists'
paradise. Commencing at the Falls of Niagara, on the southern
shore, then crossing Lake Ontario by steamer, or rounding its west-
ern extremity by rail, to Toronto, the Queen City of the West ;
t-mbarking on one of the steamers of the Richelieu and Ontario
Navigation Company, following the course of the lake, past the
romantic waters of the Bay of Quinte, to Kingston, thence down the
St. Lawrence, threading in and out of the Thousand Lslands into the
open stretch to Lake St. Francis, shooting the rapids, stopping over
at Montreal and Quebec, and finally reaching the crowning glory
of all, the incom-
])arable grandeur
of the Saguenay
River.

tion had changed

Then, perhaps, its environment was more harmonious. Hemmed

access was a narrow Ituiian path, but lon^^ before the majesty of the
scene burst upon the spectator, the ruinl)linK ami crasliin^r of its
waters was heard, increasing with every step. No wonder that, to
the Indian. \iaj;ara was sacred, or tliat at stated periods pilgrim-
ages were made to projjitiate its an^er. As an ofTeritiR to the
wratliful deity, a beautiful yoini^ girl was yearly bound fast in a
canoe, and then set adrift in the rapids, while sinj;ers chanted lier
death-son^^ till her frail bark was swept over the cataract, and
swallowed up in the foam and spray beneath. Time also has left its
impress on this inexplicable wonder. Slowly but surely the massive
granite is being worn awa\ by the unceasing turmoil of the waters,
and, in 1850, a large
portion of the Table
Kock was precipita-
ted into the gulf with
a crash that was
heard miles from the
.scene. Perhaps the
best description that
has ever been written
is from the pen of
Charles Dickens : —
" At length we
alighted ; and for the
first time I heard
the mighty rush of
water, and felt the ground tremble underneath my feet. The bank
is very steep, and was slippery with rain and half-melted ice. I
hardly know how I got down, but I was soon at the bottom, and
climbing, with two Ivtiglish officers who were crossing and had
joined me, over some broken rocks, deafened by the noise, half
blinded by the spray, and wet to the skin. We were at the foot of
the American Fall. I could see an inimen.se torrent of water tearing
headlong down from .some great height, but had no idea of .shape,
or situation, or anything but vague immensity. When we were
seated in the little ferry-boat, and were crossing the swollen river
immediately before the cataracts. I began to feel what it was ; but I
was in a manner stunned, and unable to comprehend the vastness of
the scene. It was not until I came on Table Rock and looked —
great Heaven, on what a fall of bright green water ! that it came

to my Creator I was standing, the first effect, and the entlurin^^ one-
instant and lastinj; of the tremendous spectacle, was Peace. I'eace
of mind, tramiuility, calm recollections of the dead. j;reat thou};hts
of eternal re.st and happiness : nothinj; of j.(loom or terror. Niaj;ara
was at once stamped upon my heart, an ima^e of lieauty ; to remain
there changeless and indelible, until its pulses cease to heat forever.

still do these waters roll

ning them, a hundred feet below. Still, when the .sun is on them,
do they shine and glow like molten gold. Still, when the day is
gloomy, do they fall like snow, or .seem to crumble away like the
front of a great chalk cliff, or roll down the rock like dense white
smoke. Hut always does the mighty sueam appear to die as it

tremendous ghost of spray and mist which is never laid ; which has
haunted this place with the .same dread solemnity since darkness
brooded on the deep, and that first flood before the deluge— light-
came rushing on creation at the word of God."

span the river. The rej^ion of the Falls, above and below, presents

a series of delightful pictures that will claim the leisure of the visitor.

One of the most picturesque spots, though comparatively seldom

explored by tourists, lies between the Whirlpool and yueenston.

The Niagarr Falls Park and River Iviectric Railway affords an

excellent opportunity of seeing the principal points of interest at a

very moderate outlay. From Chippewa it closely follows the course

of the river to Queenston, parsing the Falls, the Whirlpool, and all

the most picturesque and interesting spots of this region. Leaving

Niagara, it is a short journey, either by rail or electric car, to

, , .^ the historic village of Queenston. The country

here is particularly interesting. On the eminence

is the monument erected by Canad;i in honor of Sir Isaac Brock, who

fell during an engagement with the American troops on the 13th of

October, 18 12. From the gallery at the top of the column, reached

by a spiral stairway, a fine panoramic view is obtained. On the

opposite shon is the American village of Lewiston, and from the

gorge above is seen the river as it comes foaming down, eager to

end its struggles in the calm repose of the bay into which it spreads

it.self, sweeping on in serene grandeur to merge into the waters of

Lake Ontario.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is twelve miles from the Falls — the sur-
roundings are full of varied and historical interest — and possesses a
really fine hotel in the Queen's Royal, under the same management
as the Queen's Hotel of Toronto. It has become a very popular
summer resort.

down the Niagara River and across Lake Ontario. The sail occupies
about three hours, and constitutes an ideal afternoon's outing. On
Tort niaaara ^^^^ American point is Old Fort Niagara, which played
an important part in the early history of the country.
It was here that La Salle erected a palisaded .store-house in 1678, when
he was building the " Griffin," the fir.st vessel, with the exception of
a birch-bark canoe, ever launched on Lake Krie. This store-house,

yiieeii's Royal Hotel, NiaKara-oii-tlie-I<ake.

after its destruction by the Indians, was rebuilt by the French in
1687, and finally a stone fort was erected on the site in 1749, by the
Marquis de la Jonquiere. Ten years later it was taken by the
British, and remained in their possession until the close of the War
of Independence, when it was ceded to the ITnited States. As the
steamer proceeds, the old fort is left behind, and soon the w'hole
country, once sacred to Nature and the Indian, disappears from
view. We are now in the stately waters of Lake Ontario, and our
destination is Toronto. The broad expanse of water is a novelty
after the turbulence of Niagara, while the cooling breeze is truly
refreshing and invigorating. PVom the deck we are soon able to
distinguish the shore to which we are heading ; presently tall spires
and massive buildings loom in the distance. The narrow strip of
land which stretches out into the lake, and forms part of the natural
harbor of Toronto, is Hanlan's Island, recently transformed from an^
unsightly strip of land into a picturesque pleasure-ground.

Toronto is beautifully
situated on the north
shore of Lake Ontario —
the social, liter-
ary and educa-
tional centre of the Do-
minion, and one of the
largest and most pros-
perous of its commercial
centres. With environ-
ments of lovely natural
scenery , ornamented with
picturesque public parks,
elegant and costly public
buildings and private residences, and hundreds of stately edifices,
Toronto rightly pre-empts the title of " Queen City of Canada," and
to it annually is attracted that vast and largely increasing brotherhood
whose quest is pleasure.

Few cities in the world are more admirably adapted for a summer
resort than Toronto. Its situation on the lake, in the very heart of
the temperate zone, is unsurpassed. It has a mild and equable
climate, which renders the summer days pleasant. The average
temperature in summer is between io° and 20° hotter than that of
the resorts of North Carolina and Florida in winter, and between 10°
and 20° cooler than the temperature of those states in summer, while
the elevation above the sea is about the same, and there is little

difference in humidity. The temperature is very near that of
Denver, save that there is a greater daily variation in the latter city.
The site of this pleasant city, in the middle of the last century,
was a trackless wilderness, the only inhabitants being a powerful
tribe of Indians. In 1749, under the government of France, a
trading pest was established, bearing the name of Fort Rouille ;
not long after,
the country P
passed into the
hands of the
British, and we
do not hear
much of what
took place at
Fort Rouille un-
til 1793, and
there seems to
have been httle
change during
the next half
century. In 1792
Lieut. -Governor
Simcoe arrived
in the colony
from England,
and established
his government
at Niagara. Dur-
ing the following
year, being dis-
satisfied with the

location of his quarters, he set forth to select from the vast domain
under his rule a site on which to establish a permanent seat of
government worthy of the territory it was to represent. He had not
far to seek, nor has the wisdom of his choice since been questioned.
Crossing the lake, he was attracted by the advantages of the bay, as
forming a natural harbor capable of meeting the greatest demands
of commerce, advantages which had probably led the FVench to adopt
it as a trading post, fifty years before, in opposition to the Ivnglish
post on the Oswego.

From Niof^ara to tir Sea.

On landing, vSitucoe pitched his tent near the shore, and soon
a large body of men were clearing the forest and cutting roads.
vSimcoe named the city York, and remained for several months
superintending the dexelopment of the infant capital. The first
road that was cleared was Vonge street, connecting the seat of
government with the Holland River, and opening up the waterway
to the West. The residence of the Governor and Parliament
buildings were established near the shore, and from this date,
1793, the city of York takes its birth.

There is little left in Toronto or in the neighborhood sug-
gestive of its early history : the principal feature that recalls its
memory is a massive granite boulder in the Queen's Park, bearing
this inscription :

ERECTED KV THE CORPORATION OF THI-: CITY OF TORONTO, 187S.

The administration of Simcoe was of brief duration ; he was
recalled to lingland in 1796, and little improvement was made
under his immediate successors. Troublesome times were in store
for the young city ; its pioneers were early taught that security
and independence were only to be obtained after bitter conflict.
Karly in the year 18 12 a threatened invasion l)y the adjoining
country turned all thoughts into the more serious channels of
defence, and for nearly three years the city was under arms. An
era of comparative peac& appears to have followed, during which
institutions were established, and the city placed again on the high-
way of prosperity. In 1834 the city was incorporated under the
name of Toronto, but the seeds of internal strife were beginning to
take root and threatened to plunge the community into all tlie hor-
rors of civil war. The continued aggressiveness of the Colonial
Government aroused the opposition to the point of rebellion, and an
insurgent force was rai.sed at the north end of the city that, for some
days, menaced its security. Actual warfare, however, was prevented
by the timely appearance of the militia, but discontent reigned for a
long time, and it was not until a revision of the legislation of the

province took place that harmony was restored. In 1867 a new era
dawned for the city ; by the federation of the provinces Toronto
became the capital of the Province of Ontario, which gave a great
impetus to its commerce and substantially assisted in placing it in
the proud position it occupies to-day. Another factor in the develop-
ment of Toronto was the completion of the gigantic railway system
of Canada, which has placed her in communication with the entire
length and breadth of the continent. The site of the city is low,

although it rises gradually from the water's edge to an elevation
of ov^er one hundred feet above *'^e level of the lake. The streets
resemble in arrangement those of the modern cities of the United
States, and there is an up-to-date appearance about the whole city.
The streets and avenues are broad and well paved, and, except on the
principal business thoroughfares, have boulevards of well-kept lawns
and shade- trees. To the stranger this is amongst the most pleasing
features of the place, drives through the long forested avenues
affording delightful glimpses of shrubbery and flowers.

The two main arteries of the city are Yonge and King streets,
which cross each other at right angles. Starting from the foot of
Yonge street, northwards from the bay, the most startling objects

seen are three fine build-
ings fairly typical of the
city's wealth and enter-
prise — the C u s t o ni
House, Hank of Mont-
real and Hoard of Trade.
From this point radiate
the wholesale busine.ss
streets, whose massive
structures may be seen
on every hand. At the
intersection with King
the commercial hub of
the city is reached.
Above King, is an almost unbroken line of retail .shops of every
description, and it is perhaps the busiest of Toronto's .streets. Yonge
divides the city into two grand divi.sions, and is the great thorough-
fare of the north, exceeding thirty miles to Holland Landing. King
street is well built up with substantial stone and brick buildings, many
of which are equal to any on the American continent. It is Toronto's
Hroadway. The residence of the Lieutenant-Governor, designed in
the modern French style of architecture, is west on King. Near by
are the old Parliament buildings, which are not interesting, except
historically, and eastwardly, towards the bay. is the magnificent
Union Station, utilized by the two great railway systems of Canada.
Another of Toronto's notable buildings, one which has attracted
great attention, is the
magnificent Temple,
at the north-west cor-
ner of Richmond and
liay .streets, erected by
the vSupreme Court of
the Independent Order
of F^'oresters, and in
which are located the
head offices of that
great fraternal benefit
.society. The building,
which is ten storeys

the surrounding country and Lake Ontario can be obtained, and on
occasions the south (»r American shore and Niagara Falls can be
seen. In the b.i^ciueiu of the building are situated the safe deposit

thoroughly t(|uippe(l vaults in Canada. Among the tewatits are a
bank and one of the largest pul)lishing companies in the Dominion,
and occupying eligible positions are the assembly halls and lodge
rooms used by the order and by the Masonic fraternity. The building
is practically fireproof; indeed, is the only building in Toronto in
which fire insurance companies will place a certain class of risks.

The Ivxhibition Buildings aie situated on the Ciarrison Reserve,
at the west end of the city, overlooking Lake Ontario, and can
be easily reached. They are ranked amongst the finest of their
class in the world, and, especially dn-ing the holding of the annual

exhibitions in vSeptember. attract large numbers of visitors. The
Lunatic Asylum .stands further to the north, on a level plain —
a large building, four storeys high, with a frontage of 644 feet^
;| and has, with the two adjoining hospitals, about Soo inmates.

The Orphans' Home, Mercer Reformatory for Women, Home for
Incurables, in Parkdale, Toronto's western sul)urb, are places worth
seeing. H)'de Park, further west, is a magnificent stretch of alter-
4 nate hill and shade, with beautiful trees and shru1)l)ery, and it

\ almost borders on the Humber, a delightful resort, west of which is

Lome Park. Rosedale, in the north-east, is adorned with fine resi-
dences, and its ravines are romantically picture.sque, while (Queen's
Park, the Horticultural Gardens and other charming breathing
I places are found in the heart of the city.

The title of "City of Churches," to which Montreal and Brooklyn
aspire, is also claimed by Toronto, and, in view of the multiplicity

ol" sacred tilifices, in ciulk-ss variety of architeclure, its right will
not be disputed. St. James Cathedral, on Kinj^: street east, said to
have the hi,L;hest spire on the continent, is a niaj^nificent specimen

The Trovincial Parliament l)uildings, at the southern end of
Queen's Park, form a stately pile, which was erected at a cost
of $i,J50,()oo. It has a frontage of four hundred and thirty-five
feet, with a depth of two humlred and sixty, and from its towers
magnificent views of the city are obtainable. But a few rods
away, in the western part of the park, is Toronto University, the
pride of the city, which is said to be the only piece of collegiate
architecture on the American continent worthy of standing room
in the streets of Oxford. In its architectural features it belongs
essentially to the Old World. The style is Norman, the proportions
being noble and the harmony of the whole exquisite. The univer-
sity was founded under a royal charter in 1827, and it has an
endowment of $1,800,000. Its faculties include tho.se of Arts»

Toronto is well .supplit-fl with L-xcillent hotels. The Oueen's,
oiif of iIk- most iomt'ortal)lc hotels on the roiitiiieiit pos.sessiti^

like comforts, and is in every way desirable as a family hotel. It is
situated plea.santl\ , not far from either dock or station, yet quiet ;
a remarkably cool hotel in summer. It has been patronized by
nearly all visitors of note to Toronto.

The Arlington has lately been coming to the fore as a le.ss

There are also numerous other hotels and private boarding
houses. There is a capital street-car .service, by which every part
of the city can be reached, and a ride on the Belt Line will give the
hurried tourist a fair idea of the city's best features.

exce])t Sundays. Slowly they trace their difTicult way ainong
the fleets of small craft of every kind that swarm the bay, and
point their prows towards the eastern outlet of the harbor, past
Wiman's baths, on Hanlan's .sland, and the new breakwater
on the mainland side. On the north is tlie Don valley, issuing
from the two converging Rosedale ravines, which, in their solitary
grandeur of stupendous depth and lofty pine within their fold,
remain the monument of some primeval drift. In front is the
island, which protects the harbor from the boisterous weather of
the lake, extending its narrow strip of land almost acro.ss the entire
l)re.'idth of the city. Upon the surface of the bay can be seen the
almost incessant movement of shipping vessels, the i.sland yachts,
with their gracefully bulging sails, and canoes and skiffs dotted here
and there among the larger craft. The whole scene is an imposing
one, and the spectator is content to watch with the growing enchant-
ment which increasing distance lends, until the picture grows dim
before the eye.s and fades from view in an indistinguishable ha/.e.

After issuing from the narrow strait into the broad expanse of
blue waters that stretches far beyond the reach of human vision, the
stately vessel, instinct with the power of her mighty enginery, rapidh-
forges ahead, and her ponderous wheels are felt to (juicken their
pulsations as, gathering strength, she strikes with vigorous strokes
into the placid bo.som of the lake.

upper deck, has a seating capacity for over one hundred persons.

The interior finish and decorations and the spacious halls and
deck f-aloons are most elaborately executed, the main and gallery
saloons being finished in Francis I. Renaissance, with the dining
room in Louis XVI.

The entrance hall, on the main deck, is decorated in'Neo-Grec,
with modern Renai.ssance details, with the smoking room in Oriental

main newals carrying bronze figures supporting electric torches.

To give some idea of the dimensions of this modern and fine
steamer, a few figures would not be out of place. The length over
all is 278 feet, width of beam 62 feet, depth 14 feet. The engines
are of the triple expansion class. The featheiing paddle-wheels are

The first port of call for the steamer "Toronto," after leaving

the city of Toronto, will be the pretty little village of Charlotte,

«•. % ^ .^ .. ^- ^ •' b'i"R on the southern shore of Lake Ontario,
Charlotte, n. y. , , r , n, 1 1

some .seven miles north of the city of Rochester, and
one of the best points of tm])arkation for the Thousand Islands trip,
and, on returning on the western trip, calls at this port on Sundays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, while other steamers of this popular line
call at Cobourg and Port Hope on alternate days.

Charlotte itself is a pleasant and picturesque village, situated at
the mouth of the Genesee river, and is the lake port for all the tour-
ist busine.ss converging in the city of Roche.ster. The environments
of Charlotte contain a great many attractive re.sorts such as Ontario
Beach, just below Charlotte, and connected with Rochester by a
branch of the New York Central, and during the summer season
trains run back and forth at frequent intervals. Good fishing and
hunting are plentiful in the immediate vicinity, and bathing, boat-
ing and driving, interspersed with social attractions at the sunuuer
hotels, cannot fail to interest and amuse the traveller. Other favor-
ite places in close proximity to Charlotte are W'ind.sor Beach, Lake
Bluff, vSea Breeze, Irondequoit Bay, etc.

Rochester is regularly laid out, with well-paved streets, bordered

with shade-trees. It has earned the title of the "Flower City,"

from the numerous nurseries situated there, which, with the

Central trains ; also by Electric Railway. Leaving Charlotte, the
steamer sails down Lake Ontario, on her way towards Kingston.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays the Richelieu & Ontario
Company's steamers pass through the Bay of Quinte on their
westward trips.

The steamer speeds on past shores filled with the mystery of
unwritten history, for already in the distance the dim outlines
of the lighthouse of Port Hope may be seen, and our footsteps
may soon press —

Here, though largely shrouded in mystery, were fought the
fiercest and most relentless battles for the possession of the midland
region of Canada. The territory was well worth fighting for. It is
the fabled "happy hunting ground"' ; deer, black bear, lake salmon,

sturgeon, bass and lake-trout were found in lavish abundance, and
still amply repay the skill of the sportsman ; and wild rice and maize
,i,^rew over vast tracts. No wonder, then, that Huron and Algonquin
struggled valiantly, though unsuccessfully, to retain possession
against the attacks of the Iro([Uois. that race of athletes who lorded
it over half a continent, and whose alliance was eagerly courted by
France and Ivngland.

A few miles inward is the Indian settlement of Hiawatha, named
after the Hercules of the Objiway mythology, whom Longfellow has
immortalized in his melodious trohaics. Here we may wander by
the "groves of singing pine-trees, ever singing, ever sighing ," and
perchance follow in the trail trod centuries before by moccasined
feet or black-robed priest. How changed the aspect : the struggles
for supremacy are ended, and the old tragic .scenes are rapidly
passing into the twilight of Plomeric legend.

The prosperous town of Port Hope once bore the Indian name of
Ganaraske. The town is most picturesquely situated on the north
.shore of the lake, rising in the background to a noble
eminence, rendering it one of the most healthful of
residential situations. To the sportsman it is a paradise, as
from its position it is the gateway to the sporting territory of the
region.

The next stoppage is six miles further along the coast, at
Cobourg (5,000), a town of considerable business activity, it being

being broad and neatly laid out, as well as frequently

drives along the eastern approaches of the town are very beautiful.

Soon after the steamer leaves Cobourg, the day is drawing near
to a close, and the voyage accjuires a fresh interest for the mind thai

is responsive to the picturesqueness of nature. The western sun is
setting, with its great halo of crimson light, behind the Northumber-
land hills ; eastward, the clouds that hang like the filmy draperies
in heaven are roseate from the setting sun, while towards the south
and east, Ontario's waters, stretching far away into the grey horizon,
reflect the splendor of the sunset scene from their impenal bosom,
until the view slowly dissolves itself, and the shadow of the coming
night begins to brood upon the face of things.

darkness creeps along the distant reaches of the deep, and possibly
the moon, full-orbed or crescent, comes to shed its luminous rays upon
the dark watery pathway of tht- great steamer, as she moves along
the coast of Prince PMward County, past the docks, down towards
the lower gap which opens into Kingston, the next stopping point.

Bay of Quinte.

While she is plying her midnight way into the early hours of the
morning, we shall leave her, with all her slumbering passengers, to
trace a very pleasant detour through the Murray Canal
and Hay of Ouinte, available to tourists liy means of
the Richelieu Company's steamers "Hamilton" and "Algerian,"
which alone take this route down, whereas the other steamers
take this course on their return trip on Tuesdays, Thursdays a.id
vSaturdays.

The steamer takes a circuitous course from Cobourg to its next
stopping place, Brighton, passing in the distance on the right the
Sandbanks, the Scotch Bonnet light and Weller's Bay. After round-
ing the Presque Isle light into the bay of the same name, it has to
trace a devious way among the difficult and intricate channe' .,
buoyed up by a system of range lights to facilitate navigation among
its shoals, until finally the port of Brighton is reached. This has a
well-sheltered harbor, and is a district of considerable industrial
activity, its manufactures covering flouring and plaster mills, a
tannery, and canning works.

From Brighton the end of Presque Isle Bay is crossed to the
Murray Canal, which has been constructed across the narrow
isthmus that joins the Prince Edward peninsula to the main land.
This canal has been the means of opening up for a highway of
steamboat traffic the sinuous picturesqueness of the Bay of Quinte,
with its splendid scenery of elevated shore, capped by tall trees, and
of long reaches which give the place a romantic beauty eminently
fitting it for a field of summer pastime and recuperation. We can-
not issue from the narrow waters of the canal, with its four spanning

waters of the Bay of Quinte, withont allowing our thoughts to drift

Cambray, who, in 1668, directed his steps into the heart of these
solitudes. Reared amid the refined luxury of his ancestral home in
Perigord. with the prospect of the alliance of his house with one of
the most powerful families of France, there is a tinge of romance
mingled with his deeds. But as we peruse the narrative which

history has preserved of the struggles, privations and dangers to
which he was exposed in extending the cause of religion, ter-
minating with his life, at the early age of thirty-eight, the romantic
spell is broken, and there gathers around his memory the aureole of
mart5'rdom.

Leaving the Murray Canal, the steamer courses ilong the south
shore, past Indian Island, over to Trenton '5,000), at the mouth of
the River Trent. This is at once the centre of a fine agri-
cultural district and the home of vigorous and varied
industries, which are favored by the presence of exceptional water
power and the distril)nting media of the Grand Trunk Railway and
the steamboat lines. The town has a beautiful and commanding
site at the head of the Hay of Ouinte, of which it has the .sweep
clear up to Belleville. On the west it is flanked by the sister
mounts, Pelion and Ossa, from who.se elevated summits the low-

stretch before the eye in sp]-ndid panorama. Northward, the eye
can catch, amid the undulating hills of .Sydney and of Murray, the
gleaming waters of Trent's meandering .stream, while southward,
beyond the bay and peninsula as far as the sight can reach, lies
Lake Ontario's boundless blue, the waters of an inland sea.

From the canal, the Central Ontario Railway trains run to
Consecon, seven miles east, where there is excellent ba.ss and
pickerel fishing, and to Picton, in the vicinity of which anglers
will find fair sport.

If the trip, however, is to be continued uninterrupted, on leaving
Trenton, the steamer passes Baker's and Nigger's islands on the left
down the bay towards Belleville. On the right is Rednersville, the
principal shipping port of the townships of Ameliasburgh and
Hillier, well known for their fruit industries. Their apple and
grape production is exceedingly progressive, both in quantity and
quality.

In the distance over our bows looms up by this time the long
and graceful span of Quinte Bridge, which is said to be the longest
highway bridge in America. To the left, before the bridge is
reached, the Provincial Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is .seen.
As we near the massive bridge, its ponderous draw is opened at a
.signal from the steamer's whistle, and we glide swiftly through the
opening of the graceful struc-
ture, which, from the distance,
seemed to present an impass-
able barrier to our progre.ss.

Entering the harbor, the
eyes rest upon the city of Belle-
ville (population
1 1, GOO ), the county
town of Hastings, at Lhe
mouth of the Moira river. A
brief glance at the situation and surroundings of the city is .sufficient
to convince the tourist or sportsman that nature has singled out this
spot as an ideal summer re.sort. Far out in the open waters, or
winding in and out along the shore, hidden among its coves, are a
.series of camping and fishing grounds, the discovery of which will
fill the sportsman with delight. Here, amid.st an infinite variety of
.scenery, and the enjoyment of rare and pure atmosphere, for which

tlie district is famous, tlie pleasures of l)oatiiig atid yachting may be
indulged iji to the heart's content. This is the prospect presented
to us before we set foot on the shores of the city commonly known
as the " Heautiful." From any elevated site its claim to this title
will be found justified. In the centre of the valley, through which
the River Moira flows to the bay, is the business part of the city,
with its substantial Iniildings ami well-ordered streets, picturescjue
even in its thoroughfares. On the hills, which rise gradually from
the vale, are scattered the modern and beautiful homes of its citizens,
amid shrouded nooks and retreats, coml)ining the pleasures of rural
life with the advantages of a thriving city.

Belleville boasts of a number of fine puV)lic buildings, the most
noteworthy of which are the Court House, the Armory and Drill
Hall, the Post Office, City Hall, and other Government buildings,
and the Carman Opera House. The principal seat of learning is
Albert College, a group of buildings comprising chapel and class
rooms, dormitory and profes.sors' residence, gymnasium and museum
of natural history. The other leading institutions are the High
vSchool, the Ontario Business College, Belleville Business College,
and the Ontario Institution for the Deaf and Dumb.

The steamer crosses over the bay to Belleville's charming sum-
mer resort, Massassaga Point, which contains a first-class hotel and
several cottages, and is .set in the midst of a scene of unequalled
beauty. Besides being in the centre of the haunts of the maskinonge,
it provides for every kind of amusement.

I^eaving Massassaga Point, the .steamer enters an expansion of
the bay, across which she traverses past Ox Point and Point Ann,
with their inexhaustible limestone quarries, and Big Island. To the
right is the village of Northport, the shipping place of the township
of Sophiasburg, a district which produces large quantities of apples,
chee.se and hops.

Moving on eastward, Telegraph Island is passed, with its light-
house, Peterson's Ferry on the right, and on the left the Mohawk
Indian Re.seu'e of Tyendenaga, a territory which the white intruder
left to the ancestral owners of the whole land. It is populated by
the vSix- Nation Indian.s — Mohawks, Oneidas, Oiiondagas, vSenecas,
Cayugas and Tuscaroras — remn?ints of the intrepid Iro(iuois, who
left the main stock of their people in New York, in 17S4, and came
to Canada. Here they have .settled down in peace, while the white

principal solitudes which stretched aloiiK the margin of the great
lakes. They are a Christian community, as is attested by the grey
spire of the church, that can be seen from the bay, lifting its head
above the clustering trees. A gift to which the Indians point with
pride is a silver communion service presenteil to them by (^ueen
Anne, carefully preserved and loyally cherished. In many ways

they show exceptional gifts, especially in the line of practical arts,
such as needlework, for which the Mohawk mothers are famous.
Even the children show a natural skill in drawing, in which they
evince a decided superiority over white boys of the same age. The
men occupy themselves either at agricultural pursuits or in the
employment of some of Deseronto's manufactories.

Nearing the docks of Deseronto, the steamer passes Forester's
Island Park, owned by Dr. Oroiihyatehka, a pleasant summer resort,
commanding an extensive view. This island was part of the domain
of the powerful Mohawk chief whose name is perpetuated in the
])usy port we are now entering.

Deseronto is conspicuous from the distance by the massive lumber
piles, the tall smo.cing chimneys from the numerous large
factories, .some brick-colored and some of the color of zinc ;
by the dockyards, with the steamers and ves.sels in process of con-
truction or repair, all giving a prepos.session to the spectator that
this is surely a place ot" great industrial activity.

The town is Iniilt on a hill which rises j^radually from the
water's edge northwards. Situated on an elbow of the hay where
the Belleville Reach ahrniUly turns from the north-east to soutii
into the I'icton Reach, it has a survey of the beautiful scenery of
both, as well as, towards the east, of the tortuous cliannels of the
Napanee River. Towards the west, the Telegraph I.sland light
looms up in the misty di.stance, like a fairy tower tloating on the
water's surface ; towards the .south, the lotig stretch of elevated
coast, clothed in foliage green, .seems to approach so clo.se to the
opposite shore, away ahead, as to leave apparently only a narrow
gorge between, through which, now and then, appear the sails of
yachts and schooners working up the Reach.

Crossing the Long Reach for Picton, on the picturesque shores
of Prince Kdward county, the passage is enhanced by the beauty
and variety of the .scene which greets the eye. The entry to Picton
I'ay, enclosed by two lofty shores, is impressive, lending
beauty to the prospect of the town, which is now in full
view. From the elevation of the.se shores, a marvellous stretch ot
lake and woodland grandeur is .seen. Owing to the sheltered posi-
tion of its harbor, Picton is highly favored as the shipping centre of
Prince Kdward county. Fruit and grain are grown in abundance
in this region and distributed from Picton. It is a manufacturing
town of importance, having large cainiing factories, foundries, and
a shipyard for the building and repairing of ve.ssels. It is also the
terminus of the Central Ontario Railroad.

The town is provided with all modtrn iniprovt'ineiits in the way
of water works, electric liKlit, fire alarm, telejjhone and telegraph
systems. The drives on either si<le of the town are very fine, the
roads bein^? excellent atid tracing a way among rich farm-lamls,
splendid orchards, rural homes and heantifnl inland lakes, as they
near the shores of I.ake Ontario.

Abont ten miles irom I'icton, on the lake side of Prince ICdvvard
connty, are the Sandbanks, monnds of shifting sand on the margin
of the great lake, a strange and interesting scene, in a region of
historic importance, for near here, in if-68, the Rente mission was
established.

On leaving Picton the steamer courses along the shore in the
direction of Glenora, where the land rises abruptly to an elevation
of nearly two hundred feet. Muddling at the foot of the mountain,
with scarcely room for a footing, are the Glen House, for tourists,
extensive flouring mills, foundry and machine shops, deriving their
power by water carried through a narrow pipe from the lake on the
.summit of the cliff, the celebrated Lake on the Mountain. It is a
little circular sheet of blue water, nestling like an alpine lake among
its trees in cosy solitude. There is a romantic beauty about this
lake, as well as a tinge of mystery. Being on a level with Lake
Erie, and with no apparent inlet, it is supposed to be connected with
it by means of subterranean channels. Clear and crystal are its
depths, which remain unfathomed, an ideal spot around which to
weave dainty- stories that may vie with the beauty of classic legend.

The view from the summit of the mountain i.s enchanting.
Acro.ss the stretch of water lie the pleasant camping grounds and
cottages of I )ingman's Island. To the right is the cataract that over-
leaps the edge of the mountain into a romantic chasm, near the base
of which is a well-known cave. Leaving this delightful spot, we
arrive at the historic Adolphustown, with its beautiful memorial
chapel which perpetuates the memory of the United Empire Loyalists,
a body of sturdy men so named from their devotion to the British
Crown during the Revolutionary War. It was through their efforts
that this district was settled after the close of ho.stilities in 1812.

Interesting and varied scenery meets the eye as we take in the
surrounding pro.spect. To the left is Fredericksburg, and just
beyond Prinyea's Cove, a favorite mooring ground for yachts, fur-
nishing excellent sport in the form of pike fishing, and also affording
a safe harbor in the event of storm. Two miles further on, jutting

out into the bay, is Itidiau Point. Its j^ravel lieach is fonncd by
the washings of the waves coniinj^ in from the I'pper dap, the
waters of which sei)arate Prince IvUv.ird county from Anilierst
Island, and make a cliaiinel between the bay and Lalce Ontario. A
dense j;rove of cedar covers part of the shore, makiti).; it a desirable

The steamer now issues out upon the waters of the Upper (kij),
and again we catch sight of endless blue over our starboard,
behind us lie the jutting headlands of (Juinte, backed by the dark-
green hills of (ilenora down the Adolj)hus Reach. Over our ([uarter

swells of the lake, l)arely
making themselves felt
in the slight undulatory
motion of the vessel.
Here and there, upon
the water, can be .seen
the graceiul forms of white
gulls careening on the waves.
As we approach they lift succes-
sively on their narrow crescent
wings, perform a ma/.y tracery of
motion in mid-air, cros.sing and recrossing one another, circling and
intercircling in my.stic figures, until they again alight in the distance
upon the rolling water.

On the right, as we pass into the North Channel, is Kmerald,
the upper landing of Amherst Island. It is the port of a prosperous
agricultural district, and the home of an old artist, Daniel Fowler,
whose achievements in landscapes and still-life representations have
won him considerable praise.

On the mainland .shore, a little further on, is the village of Hath,

formerly known as Ernesttovvn, one of the oldest places in the district.

The next port of importance is vStella ( Amher.st Island), twelve

miles west of Kingston. It is a place not only of brisk industries in

the agricultural line, ))ut is a most pleasant summer resort, with its
picturesque and sheltered bay. There is a large summer hotel on
otella Point for accommodation of tourists, and the fishing
^^^"'* grounds are excellent. It is a convenient as well as a
pleasant retreat, by rea.son of its neighboring supply stores, cable
communication with the mainland, daily mail and steamboat service.
The drives about the i.sland are beautiful.

The steamer now steers a clear course for Kingston, past the
Three Brothers Islands, at the foot of Amherst, and Salmon Island,

across the broad waters of the
Lower Gap, leaving the pic-
turesque Bay of Quinte finally
behind.

Proceeding along the north
shore, we see the village of
Cataraqui, adjoining which is
Kingston's " city of the dead,"
where repose, among its silent tombs, the remains of the cele-
brated Sir John Macdonald, Premier of Canada, and Sir Alexander
Campbell. P'arther on is the village of Portsmouth, distingui.shed
for its ship-building industry and trans-shipping facilities. Here
also are located the Kingston Penitentiary, the Rockwood Asylum,
and the Church of the Good Thief.

And now we are at Kingston, the Woolwich or West Point of
Canada, with its Military College, its massive grey stone forts, its
Martello towers and imposing public buildings. It is
beautifully .situated at the foot of Lake Ontario, at the
head of the River St. Lawrence, and at the mouth of the Rideau or
Great Cataraqui Riv'er, which, with the Rideau Canal, connects it
by water-way with Ottawa. A settlement was begun here by the
French, under Governor de Courcelles (1672), with the name of Fort
Cataraqui, for the purpo.se of protecting the fur-traders from the
murderous depredations of the Indians. His successor, Count de
Frontenac, built a massive stone fort, giving it his own name, which
still aii'iches to the county. This fort was alternately seized and
occupied by the French and English, until it was destroyed by the
latter, under Colonel Hradstreet. in 1758. It was again rebuilt under
the name of P'ort Henry, which it retains to-day. At the time of the
union of Upper and Lower Canadas (1S41 ), Kingston was made the
capital, but the seat of government was afterwards removed to

Tlw Richelieu & Ontario A'avijraiioii Co.

Montreal (1841), and afterwards, in turn, to Toronto and Kingston,
until, in 1859, Ottawa was chosen as the permanent capital l)y Her
Majesty Queen Victoria.

At Kingston vessels constructed for lake navigation only, transfer
their cargoes to barges and river boats for conveyance to Montreal,
while in turn these tranship their cargoes, brought from Montreal,
to the lake boats.

King.ston has quite extensive industries in ship-building and
ship repairing, it carries on an extensive grain trade, and has large
smelting works for extracting metal from the ore.

It is also a great educational centre. Its colleges are of conti-
nental repute. They are Queens University, Royal Medical Col-
lege (for male and female). Royal Military College, vS:hool of
Gunnery, vSchool of Art, Science Hall, School of Mining, Kingston
Business College, Congregation de Notre-Dame, St.-Mary's-on-the-
Lake Convent, and Kingston Ladies' College, and several smaller
institutions.

The general appearance of the city is that of solidity and antique
beauty. Its prevalent limestone architecture has secured for it the
name of the "Limestone City." It is well laid out, and here and
there is adorned by massive buildings, such as the City Hall, Court
House, with its pillars and dome in Grecian Ionic style. Custom
House, Post Office, St. George's (Anglican) and St. Mary's (R. C.)
cathedrals, which latter are accredited with being the finest churches
of Canada west of Montreal ; in fact, the tower of St. Mary's, as
recently rebuilt, is a masterly monument of Gothic architectural art,
and will eniinently repay personal inspection by the tourist. The
city is provided with a well-appointed electric street railway, which

We launch out at early morn upon the silent bosom of the

the Limestone City, with its domes and pinnacles bathed in the
rising lustre of the morning sun. Towards the

near Kingston with Wolfe, the largest of their number, where the
waters of Lake Ontario issue into the broad channel of the St.

miles. They number, in all, some seventeen hundred, varying in
size, shape and appearance, from a small lump of barren rock pro-

crowned with richest foliage and lofty trees, and ornamented by
neatly colored summer residences, or left in their primev^al rudeness.

swelling lakes, or closing into narrow gorges across which the
shadow of the island trees throw their image ; with their clustering
groups, head above head, like Neptune's flock asleep ; with their
prodigality of decorative coloring, both from the hand of man, in
neatly ornamented cottages, and from the more artistic hand of
nature, in her mosses, lichens, flowers and the arabesque of dark
in-woven leaves, penetrated by the radiance of the pale blue sky ;
but most of all with their shifting kaleidoscope of scenes which throng
the vision as tl:e steamer traces its way among the labyrinthian
channels. Here and there the course seems completely closed, and
we think the boat must back out, when nearer approach to the moss-
grown shores discloses a hidden outlet by a sudden turn, perhaps
into a sheer-sided rock-bound strait, whose shores we can almost
touch from the decks, or into a l)eautiful amphitheatre of lake,
bounded by myriad isles. Their scenery has, indeed, more of the
element of the beautiful and pretty, which wins the spectator by its
delicate and varied loveliness, than of the sublime which holds our
mir..s in awe and reverence before the power of majesty or of size.
Their uniqueness is not in their grandeur, but in their daintiness of
tints, of shifiing scenes, of growing and dissolving views, of land-
locked bays and lakelets, and sinuous transparent streams that wind
and intersect in wildest tracery. They are the nearest approach,
perhaps, that the world presents to the realization of the ancients'
dream of the Fortiince Insu/cs, the emi)odiment of ideal beauty of
garden-land and stream.

These i.slands were the scene of several thrilling and romantic
adventures during the days of the rebellion. The burning of the
"Sir Robert Peel" occurred here in 1838, by a band of outlaws
headed by "Bill Johnson," a kind of political Robin Hood,
who had conceived

^nves a touch of the charm of legend and adventure to those
rocky mazes.

The passage through the islands extends several hours. The
steamer courses between Howe and Wolfe Islands, past Grindstone
Island, stopping finst at Clayton (New Vorkj, on the American
mainland. It is a favorite summer resort, renowed for the splendid
fishing in the vicinity, where black bass, pickerel and maskinonge
abound. All lines of steamers stop at Clayton. It is connected
with Niagara Falls, Albany. New York and Utica by railroad. The
trip from New York and Utica can be made in thirteen and three
hours, respectively, without any changing.

The scenery of the Thousand Islands, the advantages for boat-
ing, fishing and camping, and the pur'y of the climate, contribute

towards making the region the most
unique of Canada's pleasure grounds.
Almost directly opposite Clayton,
on the Canadian shore, is Gananoque,
situated in the heart of the Thou-
sand Islands. It is one
of the best ponits from
which to make the journey through
this scenic paradi.se. Gananoque also
boasts of a first class hostelry, re-
cently built, and called the "Gananoque Inn," and which is one
of the finest hotels on the vSt. Lawrence River. The commo-
dious passenger steamers rutining on the Thousand Lslatids route
call several times daily. Tourists caa stop over and spend a few
days at this point with much profit, and the fishing in the locality
is within a stonf's throvv of the hotel.

Within five minutes' walk from the Inn are the St. Lawrence
Golf grounds, on a most picturesque position. A bowling-alley
and billiard-tables, in connection with the hotel, provide amuse-
ment for rainy day .

The steamer for Montreal leaves Gananoque at 6.00 in the
morning, from June 14th to July 9th, and daily from July 9th
to September 3rd. for a trip through the Thousand Islands,
and passengers in the .sleeping cars arriving at this point by
the Grand Trunk Railway from the west are permitted to remain
in the car until a few minutes before the departure of the
.steamer.

Stave Island, in close contiguitj' to Cananoque, has ])een chosen
several times as the camping ground ot the American Canoe
Association, and was selected for the 189S meet. This locality
was decided upon owing to the freedom from swift
currents, its health-giving pine woods and forests, and
its suitable shores and bathing beaches. It is an unequalled spot
for camps, boating and canoeing.

Leaving the Thousand Islands, we pass Morristown and Ogdens-

where connections are made for Ottawa, Montreal and the east
and south.

From Clayton the steamer courses along the American channel
of the river, past Round Island. This i.sland (one mile by one
thousand four hundred feet) is one of the fine.st gems in the entire
Ariadne's Crown of Isles. Its many pretty cottages,
beautiful grounds, luxuriant foliage, substantial docks
and splendid water front, make it a most attr3Ctive spot .or tourists.
Round Island possesses a super)) hotel, the Frontenac. It is a truly

path three miles around the island, and is, in one word, an ideal
summer home.

A few miles farther on. in the very heart of the archipelago, the
steamer passes Thousand Island Park, on Wellesley Island, an
extensive summer re.s^rt laid out in small parks and avenues, and
occupied by five to six hundred beautiful cottages. Originally estab-
lished as a denominational park, it is now conducted by business
men as a strictly undenominational resort, where, as at Chautauqua,
the best speakers of all denominations are heard, and summer schools
and university extension lectures are available at moderate charges.
A fine and large hotel. "The Columbian," has been erected in this
park, in the form of a Oreek cross, thereby avoiding inside or badly
ventilated rooms. The hotel is lighted by electricity, has a new
water supply system, and is under able management.

The facilitie.. for ])oating, fishing, driving or horseback riding
are unsurpassed. Concerts and other entertainments fill up the
week-day evenings for tho.se who desire them.

There is much that appeals to the visitor ^; .sense of the pic-
turesque at this park.

The beautiful avenue along its water front gives far-reaching
views of the flowing river upon one baud, and leafy vistas along the
side avenues which lead into the heart of the park domain.

The run of the .steamer from Thousand Island Park to Alexandria
Bay is superb in the characteristic i.sland scenery. Hundreds of
islands lie across tlie steamer's tortuous and zig-zag course, all
differing in size, coast an' coloring, and forming an
intricacy of channels through which only the ex-
perienced pilot could guide the way. Nuvv we are entering a narrow
pass between cliff-like banks covered with mo.ss and trailing creep-
ers, then we open into a lake-like expansion, then again among
winding courses through clustering islands and around rocky
points. We are here in the home of the canoe, of which hundreds
are seen dotted over the surface of the water. lioth sailing
and paddling canoes are much in use and help to enliven the
.scene. vSteam launches are in great vogue among the richer
class, and .sailing yachts and skiffs complete the pleasure craft in
tlie.se waters.

We now emerge from the labyrinth into Alexandria Bay, the

of the whole summer life of the Thousand Islands. It is one of the

on rocky bluffs, others snugly placed on low-lying islands and
nestling in their beautiful coves. Thousands of people from all
parts of the world visit this place annually, attracted hither by the
fame of its natural beauty, wholesome atmosphere, pleasant society
and excellent fishing. This Mecca of the pastime .seekers of all
America is built upon a massive pile of rocks, and has an excellent
view of the Thousand Islands scenery. In the vicinity is a position
whence a hundred isles can be seen at one view. Visitors to the
Thousand Islands who wish to take the trip through the Bay of
Ouinte can do so by taking any of the Richelieu Company's steamers,
on their trip up the river.

About opposite Alexandria Hay, on Welltsley I' 'and, is the
Presbyterian re.sort, Westmin.ster Park. The portion )f the i.sland
included in the park grounds consists of two hund. : acres of
ground, in formation an irregular neck of upland, rising to a mean
elevation above the water of about forty feet, with rounded heights

niits, which are reached by easy s'opes, either in carriaj^jes or on
foot, the whole ^roup of the Thousand Islands, extending along the
river for a distance of twenty miles, are brought into full view. The
Westminster Park ferry connects with all steamers arriving at and
departing from Alexandria I>ay.

Westminster Park Hotel is most desirai>ly situated on West-
minster Park, directly opposite the village of Alexandria Hay. in
close proximity to the best fishing grounds on the vSt. Lawrence
River.

Leaving Alexandria Bay, the steamer runs down the widening
channel among the outskirting islands, some decked with pine and
firs, and some but arid granite rocks, until it passes the "Three
Sisters," the final pickets of the archipelago, and leaves the Mana-
toana, the Oarden of the Great vSpirit, as the Indians named the
Thousand Islands, finally behind.

Scarcely have we emerged from the still lingering images of the
beautiful i.sland scenery, when come in view the spires and roofs of
the picturesque town of Brockville. This town, named after General
Brock, the hero of Queenston Heights, 1812, is built on
an elevation which ascends by successive ridges from the
St. Lawrence. It is on the maiti line of the Crrand Trunk Railway,
and a branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway runs from it to Ottawa.
It has connection by ferry with the Rome, Watertown and Ogdens-

Prescott is an important point in the water route of grain from
the West seeking export v/d Montreal and the American Atlantic
ports. In order to handle the grain taking this route, a fine elevator
was built here, in the year 1895, for the Prescott Elevator Compan}',
Limited. The storage capacity of this mammoth building is some
1,000,000 bushels. It is 72 feet wide by 280 long, and is built out
into the river on pile foundations, surmounted by concrete piers and
masonry. The depth of the water at the front of the building is 20
feet, and at the sides, where barges are loaded, 14 feet. During the
1898 season this elevator handled .some 6,000,000 bushels of grain.

Leaving this historic ground, the steamer courses .serenely on
her way, and now bearing to the right diNcloses the imposing group
of buildings of the Point Airy New York vState Asylum. We give
on page 48 an illustration ot central administration building. Perched
upon the banks which overhang the river, their situation is magni-
cent. A little further on, to the left, is LMiimney Island, which
during the French );'^inie was strongly fortified. The calm .stretch
of the river, varied here and there by a few islands, would scarcely
'prepare one for the boisterous scenes ahead. lint soon after the last
glimpse of Pre.scott fades in the distance, we pass through the first
of the troubled waters of the J^t. Lawrence, the (iallops. The.se are
only a foretaste of what is to follow, for as the spires atid roof tops
of the town of Morrisburg are .seen through the trees, we find our-
.selves, on rounding an intervening point, in full view of the Rapids
du Plat, as they swirl their dark green waters among a group of
wooded islands and beneath the shadows of their overhanging trees.
After shooting the du Plat,
the steamer glides with
steadily increasing motion
past a picturesque point
named Woodlands and in
among bolder shores, on
the north side of Croyles
Island, into .sight of the
turbulent waters of the
Long vSault, with its .snow-

of raging water. This, the
first one of the really re-
markable rapids of the St.

as thf (Il'SixmiI l)y Ixvil is called, is a most exciting
experience. Hetore us is a seetliing mass of clmrniny; waters, rush-
ing; with headlong speed down a ilechvity which stretches ahead,
apparently without termination, as far as tlie eye can reach. Ivach
moment we feel (mrselves and our great vessel l)eing further drawn
into the Charyhdis jaws of the mighty current among its angry
darkling eddies, past jutting headlands, close to insidious rocks ;
while the roar of the surges, the foannng spray that dashes over the
vessel, intensifies the excitement caused by her swift downward and
undulating movement. With her steam almost completely shut off,
she dashes in among the waves that seem to advance to meet her up
the hill, and is carried along, by sheer force of the current, at a
speed of twenty miles an hour, guided alone by the extra-manned
helm, past what seem to ])e dangerous i)laces, amid the ocean roar
and tumult of the lashing surf. Navigation of the Long Sault
requires exceptional nerve and precision in })iloting, as well as extra
power to control the helm; hence, in "shooting the rapids," the
rudder is provided with a tiller i besides the regular apparatus), and
this is manned, while four men are kept at the wheel to en.sure safe
steering ; and, as a result of such precautions, fatal accidents are
unknown.

The first passage of the Long Sault by steamer was made about
1840, under the pilotage of tlu celebrated Indian Terorhiahere.
The channel followed was that which has until recently been con-
sidered the only safe one. namely, the southern, on the American
side of the dividing i.slands. But examinations have been made in
these later days, and the northern channel proven quite navigable,
so that it has become as much the highway of steamboat traffic as
the southern.

To the right is the picturesque Indian village of St. Regis, with
its little cluster of houses and the glittering roof of its church stand-
ing conspicuously among them. The church, or rather its bell, is
connected with an historical incident of savage Indian revenge, in
the early days. On its passage from France, the bell was captured
by an English cruiser, taken to Salem, Mass., and sold to the church
at Deerfield, of the same .state. The St. Regis Indians, hearing of
the capture and the destination of their bell, proceeded stealthily to
Deerfield, attacked the town, massacred forty-seven of the inhabit-
ants, and brought one hundred and twelve captives hack with them,
along with the bell, which now hangs in the St. Regis church.

Nearly opposite this pretty Indian village, on the left, is ihe
ihriving town of Cornwall, with its extensive woollen and cotton
mills. The completion of the Cornwall Canal, some
twelve miles long, with seven locks, offers a safe passage
to small craft on the eastern journey, and is the only course possible
for all craft bound westward. We are now near the line which
divides Canada from the United States, as well as the line separating
Ivastern Ontario from (Quebec. The bed of the St. Lawrence expands
near Cornwall, forming the beautiful Lake St. Francis. The shores
on either side present a pleasing prosp-ct. diversified with woods
and farms. " Hut." says a well-known writer, •' the chief glory of

is well fitted up, and, with pleasant surroundings, claims a good
share of popularity. At the lower end of the lake we draw up by
the long wooden pier of Coteau-du-Lac. whose straggling row of
little PVench houses, looking still smaller in contrast with
the great stone church and gleaming spire, gives evidence
that we are now in I'rench Canada. A charming scene does this
old Coteau make as .seen at sunset on the return trip, when Lake
St. Francis, still as a mirror, reflects the rich crimsons and purples
of the descending sun ; while the old brown timbers of the pier, and

Coteau Rapids are entered This is a very beautiful stretch of
rapids about two miles in length, and iVequently having an exceed-
ingly swift current. It was among them that the detachment of
men, sent to Montreal during General Andierst's expedition ( 1759),
were lost.

About seven miles further down, we sweep past a small i.sland
who.se thickly foliaged trees almost dip at the margin into the
hurrying stream, round a sharp curve into the Cedar Rapids. This
is a very turbulent stretch of water, aufl its passage is most exciting.
At times the steamer suems to be settling as to sink, but she swiftly
glides from threatening danger, from ominous rock to rock, until
she emerges from the rapids.

But scarcely has she left the Cedar when she enters what, on
approach, bodes to be the most [lerilous of all — the Split Rock
Rapids — .sentineled by huge boulders guarding the entry. One
cannot help a .shudder of fear as the .ship approaciies this threat-
ening rock, but the skilful hand of the helmsman, at the op-
portune moment, deftly turns the boat aside, and it pas.ses away

The Cascades, the last of this series of rapids, is conspicuous l)y
Its white-crested' waves, whicli mount tumultuously from the dark
green waters in such a choppy, angry n-ay, that they make the
vessel lurch and toss as though at sea. Tliis group of four
rapids, following one another in close succession, have a descent
of eighty-two and one-half feet, and extend, in all, about eleven
miles.

Below the Cascades, the river expands into Lake St. Lotiis.
Almost at its head, where the Cascades' seething waters soften into
calm, the Ottawa River discharges one of its branches into the broad
vSt. Lawrence, and the dark waters of the northern stream glide into
the calm deep bottom of the great river, to find a purer home and
greater glor^' in the resplendent beauty of the lake. On a high spot,
along the soutli shore of this beautiful vSt. Louis Lake, is a cross
reared, like the serpent in the wilderness, for men to look unto in
time of peril and distress — symbols not only of human weakne.ss and
human need, but of divine support by faith in Him who, raised
upon the cross, was typified by the brazen symbol of the Arabian
wilds. The scenery is very fine along this lake. Calm and shadowy,
the Chateauguay hills rear their lofty heads behind the trees, lower
down the dim outline of Mount Royal can be seen, while further on,
the cloudy tops of Belojil, vSt. Johns and Shefford loom against the

sky. From the point of continence of the ( )tta\va and .St. Lawrence,
the .sliore, on onr left as we .u:o down, is the Island of Montreal.
Alon>; its niar.yin can he seen the cottages of canijiers from Montreal,
who come here in large nui"lKis to spend the summer months. It
is a mo.>-t pleasant place of resort, both on account of its convenient
proximitx to tlie city and on account of its engaging .scenery and
whole.some surroundings. There are several yacht and boating club
houses here and there : amongst others, the Royal St. Lawrence
Yacht Club, a little above the head of Dorval Island, which has for
the last three years held the trophy of the Seawanhaka Yacht Club
for small \-achts.

After issuing from the lake, we come to the town of Lachine,
nine miles from Montreal. This place is associated with the name
of La Salle, who, about the \ear 1670, obtained a grant of
' land from the Seminary of Montreal, and here formed a
settlement, giving to it the name of Lachine. It was La vSalle w'.:o,
during his wan(ierings in the land of the Illinois first pitched ..y .:
Chicago as a trading post.

At this xillage the famous Lachine Canal commences, having
been built to overcome the descent of the .iver in the Lachine
Rapids. Even as we pass along, we can see the enclosed waters of
the canal bearing upon their bosom the huge form of some up-going
steamer. It i> to this little village ol Lachine that people come from
>Ioutreal by train to .shoot the rapids. A most e: citing method is
to shoot the rapids in a skiff, under the skilful guidance of the
Indians. It is apparently-, at first sight, impossible for so small
a boat to live in so wild a current of waters, but the Indians are so
thoroughly acquainted with the shoals and dangerous places, as well
as with the frantic humors of the fierce current, that the feat is
sometimes risked b}' those seeking excitement.

Across from Lachine is the Indian village, Caughnawaga, on
the south bank (jf the river. Its name, meaning '• praying Indian,"
is very appropriately attached to the inhabitants, who are devoted
adherents of the Roman Catholic faith, and aniuudly, in June, join
in the celebration of the Fete-Dieu, accoutreil bi their tribal paint
and ornaments.

After passing this village, we come to the magnificent iron bridge
of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is a beautiful structme, built
on the cantilever principle, much resendjling the International
Railway Bridge at Niagara.

of navigation, as well as the last of the great vSt. Lawrence rapids-
the Lachine. A universal stillness reigns among the passengers on
deck, and their hearts throb with a dubious expectation as they look
forward to the glittering sheet of foaming breakers ahead, with their
two little green islets, dashing through the spray. Human speech
can find no tongue in such a scene, but awe and the overpowering
.sense of the mighty forces in raging activity around, ii'..spires the
thrilling stillness of a mingled fear and pleasure in every soul — fear
at the awful pos.'^ibility of .some miscarriage in our descent, pleasure
in the triumphant exhibition of the " flash and cloud of the cascade,
of the earthouake and foam-fire of the cataract," combined with the
howling multitude of waters and the vast sweep and surging of
the ocean wave. In we plunge among the breakers, and the
headlong current bears us towards the shelving and insidious
rocks, sometimes hidden, sometimes disclosed to view, with the dark
suggestion of others couched unseen beneath the water. Deftly we
pass them by, within a few yards of their treacherous edges, through
foam, tl;rough mountain billows, with our bows sometimes appar-
ently sul'inerged, through hurrying eddy and swirling whirlpool,
through clouds of spray ascending from the churning abj'ss crowned
with the irridescence of a hundred rainbows, and amid the thunder-
ous voices of the ?«urging deeps. A moment more, we have completed
the descent and ride in trancjuilitN' the placid bosom of the river
beneath, with a sense of relief born of the contemplated danger past.
Had we but deviated to right or lefl by .so much -as a few yards, or
cast our length athwart the stream, we had been hurled by the
angry current upon the rocks, to utter wreck, or instantly capsized,
submerged and rolled amid a raging wilderness of waves. But the
cool hand and clear eye of the pilot is equal to the perilous work,
and it is a nots^ble fact tliat no accident of any consequence has ever
happened, nor has a single life been lost in the course of many years
of steamboat navigation on the.se wonderful rapids.

The new bridge ranks, from an engineering standpoint, with the
foremost structures of the present age. The bridge contains double
tracks and a carriage-way and foot walks on both sides, and each
span has been so erected that it will carry not only a train on each
track, moving in opposite directions, but going at the rate of 45
miles an hour, with a total weight of 4,000 lbs. to the lineal foot ; an
electric train going at the rate of 25 miles an hour, as well as drive-

above, provides the alternative route by rail across the river. It was
originally built of iron on the tubular principle. There are twenty-
four piers of solid ma.sonry, extending in all some two miles. It
gives the impression of neatness and l)eauty. It is a grand sight to
stand upon this bridge, looking forth from one of the spans, and
watch the shipping passing underneath upon the bosom of the
curling waters, to see the hurrying streams gather in mounds before
each pier, then glide away on either side in angry eddy and in wave ;
to look along the row of massive piers converging in the distance,
with the great iron trusses upon their shoulders, reaching into
Montreal.

aux Trembles, founded in 167 (. Here is one of the
old French cliurches, built in i7cn>. Just below it are
the Islands of lioucherville. These islands are mostly
low and tlal, with very shallow water among them, and a thick
,n;rowth ( f reeds and weeds, affording excellent duck shooting and
pike fishing, but wanting in scenery Ironi their extreme llatness.
Here it is that the ice grounds on the break up of winter, occa-
sionally causing an inundation. At a di.stance of fifteen miles is

and Ouebec. I lies with the St. Lawrence in front and the Riche-
lieu in its rear Mineral springs of great value are situated here.
At a distance of forty miles is Herlhier, ori the north shore, opposite
to the entrance of the Richelieu, and to numerous islands similar to
those of Ik)ucherville ; still five miles farther down, at the junction
of the Richelieu, is Sorel, lately raised to the dignity of a city. .Sorel
was once called William Henry, after William I\', who, when in the
navy, and lying off Quebec, visited this place, coming up in his
vessel to Lake St. I'eter, whence he took a small boat upwards. It
stands on the site of the fort Iniilt !)y de Trac\' in i''"i65, and was for
many years the summer residence of successive governors of Canada.
Thei'e is splendid snipe shooting in this neighborhood in October,
and very good fishing all through the year, among the numerous
islands which here stud the surface of the river. About five miles
further down, the river expands into a va.st sheet of water, about
twenty-five miles long and nine miles broail, which is known as
Lake St. Peter. This lake is, tor the most part, quite shallow,
except in the channel, which has been dredged so as to enable the
largest ocean steamers to pass uj) and down. In passing through
this lake the traveller is sure to see several rai'ts on their way down-
wards. The .songs of the raftsmen were once a delightful melody
on the.se waters, but the towing system has done away with much of
the old romance of the ri\-er.

Pa.ssing the mouth of the St. hVancis, which Hows in from the
Ivaslern Town.ships, near which is a settlement of the Abenaciuis
Indians, we arrive at the city of Three Rivers, situated on the north
.shore of the St. Lawrence, at the mouth of the St. Maurice River,
which here .separates into three channels, whence the name of the

most interesting place in many respects. Iknjamin .Suite, the French
Canadian poet and historian, has worked its mines of historical lore

to noble uses, and given it a fame
greater than its lumber and iron
industries could ever achieve.
The French began the .smelting
of iron here as early as 1737.
T':ree Rivers is the see of a
Roman Catholic bishopric.
The cathodrd is a stately edifice, and the neighborhood is rich in
associations to any one who cares to explore hem.

Opposite Three Rivers is Doucet's Landing, the terminus of the
Aithabaska and Three Rivers branch of the Grand Trunk Railway,
thus keeping this section easy of acc(.as from the south, as the rail-
way on the north shore does on the other side Here we 'nay be
said to be at the head of tide water, the home of the tommy-cod
fishery. Continuing the journey, ve f^ss l^atiscan, called after a
famous Indian chief known to the fr.^t settlers ; then Ste. Anne and
the Jacque.s-Cartier River, after which the land on the river banks
begins to rise, presenting a more boUl and picturesque appearance as
we near Quebec. Ste. Augustiuf and vSt. .\ntoine, two pretty vil-
lages, arc soon passed, and the mouth of the Chaudiere is the next
object of interest. Here, .some twelve or more miles from Quebec,
in the seclusion o^ *.>- . woods, are the falls of the Chaudiere, a river
which, flowing through the auriferous district of the F^astern Town
.ships, and abounding, through its cour.se of one hundred miles, in
rapids, precipitates itself downward over a hundred feet into a rocky
and chaotic basin, where, during the spring Hoods, the roaring of
the vaters and the fantastic cliffs and liedges on either side combine
to make a deep impression on the mind.

Continuing our way. we come to Pointe I evis, nearly oppo.site
Quebec, on the south-western shore. Before us is the grand gate-
way of the vSt. Lawrence, the famous Citadel of Quebec, with its
majestic memories of mvstery, adventure, victory and defeat — the
battle-groundwhere Wolfe won for England, and the Celto-Britannic
race, ths idimitable Dominion of the North and West.

claim to the attention of the traveller is its historical battlefield
which has seen the fiercest and most momentous battles in

France and l^ngland's generals perished in the final struggle for the
possession of Canada. It is impossible to stand here and reflect on
the momentous consequences of Wolfe's victory without feeling the
influence of the spirit of the scene. Hut philosophic melancholy
in these days gives way at (Quebec to more joyful influences, for it
is one of the most delightful places, socially, to be found anywhere
in the world. Whether it be summer or winter, the people of the

(Jnaint, curious old Quebec, whose winding streets and frowning
battlements are pervaded with the atmosphere of departed centuries,
here is the spot where the refined luxury of the Old World first
touched the l)arl)aric wilderness of the New ; here is the cradle of
Canada. (Jtiebec scenes to have been specially formed by Nature for
the important part assigned to her in the drama of this continent,
for, from her commanding eminence, she holds the ]>osition of guar-
dian and sentry of Canada. In reviewing the histOi';- of yuebec,
we meet the interesting figure of that intrepid explorer, Jacques
Cartier. In 1535 Jacques Cartier sailed from France, under a com-
mission from Francis 1, in the hope of di.scovering a new highway
to the Indies, and also of adding to the possessions of his native
land. Sailing up the magnificent river, he gave to it the name of
vSt. Lawrence, and. on the 14th of vSeptember, he reached the mouth
of a little tributary, which he called Ste. Croix. Here he cast
anchor. The natives of the village of Stadacona. headed by their
chief, Donnacona, paddled out in their birch bark canoes to meet
the strangers, having been attracted bj' the novelty of their wondrous
vessels.

The meeting of Jacques Cartier and the chiefs appears to have
been friendly, for he willingly conducted the explorers to the summit
of the rock, and to the little village that nestled beneath. What a
wondrous picture was spread out before him from this noble height.
Clothed in the primeval grandeur of Nature, enriched with the glory
of autumnal tints, no prospect could be more encuanuing, no wealth
more unbounded, than that which was enfolded in the bo.som of
these mighty solitudes. Jacques Cartier had yet to learn that there
was another side to this ro.sy picture, for, with the fading of the
leaves, the first signs of winter approached. Beautiful, indeed, are
the winters of Canada ; but we are prepared for them — Cartier was
not. Untold were the sufferings of these explorers during the five
months that they were bound in the grip of ice and snow. With
the return of spring, Jacques Cartier sailed again for France, but

nothing came of his voyage. The time iiad not yet come, and
nearly a century was to ehipse helore the founder of New France

I'Vance upon the heights of Uuehec. Chaniplain was a man of

heart and soul of a hero. Xo man was ever more fitted to found,
develope and rule an empire than he. .\nd it is to his untiring
efforts and genius that we are indebted for the Canada of to-day.

or Jacques Cartier. I'Vom Dufferin Terrace, or from the Citadel,
still higher, the picture, spread out beneath our feet can nowhere be
duplicated. Here the lily banner of the Bourbons and the time-
worn flag of England have been unfurled in token of supremacy.
All the memory-haunted scenes of a glorious past sweep before our
gaze. Yonder is the spot where the noblest sons of France and

of the Plains of Abraham. No pen is needed to tell the glory of

increasing their interest, are the grand modern structures of the
present.

With a copy of "Illustrated Quebec" in hand, we commence
a leisurely survey of the picture before us. Every stone in the
walls of Quebec has a history, and every spot of ground is rendered
sacred by the events of the past.

Behind us rise the grey walls of the ancient citadel, and imme-
diately under us is the city, with its strange confusion of buildings,
all cast, as it were, at random upon the declivities of a mountain,
and tumbling down in wild confusion to the shores of the great
river below. We do not propose going into all the details of the
peculiar hi.storical attractions of Quebec ; we will take a rapid glance
at the scene before us.

Looking away beyond the churches and monuments, the ram-
parts and gates, we ])eh()l(l a picture that no pencil could delineate
and no poet could describe. Over the heights of Levis, and above
its frowning fortifications, rises the .summer sun ; his beams gild the
spires of a hundred historic buildings, each with a story that might

be the basis of a real romance. Still looking to the right, the Isle of
Orleans divides the waters of the vSt. Lawrence, and looks up to the
Citadel as a child to a protecting parent. Then across the stream—

" Where yonder mountains, cracked
And sundered by volcanic tire,
Sings Montmorency's cataract,—
Fit cliord for sncli a j^ranite lyre."

Then the long, thin village of Beauport stretches its serpentine
length along the shore and basks in the rays of the rising sun.
Beyond the Beauport Flats arise the blue Laurtintians, mound over
mound, till they blend with a few fleecy clouds upon the distant
horizon. From out the forest and fields glances the steeple of the
Charlesbourg church — a hamlet with a history of its own. Behind
this again appears the humble, but still more interesting, chapel of
the Indian village of Lorette. Lorette, the home of the Huron, the
last resting-place of that warrior tribe, as its braves disappear like
snow before the sun of civilization. Of yore, the Huron of Lorette
treated with Montcalm, and fired his arrows at the invader ; to-day
the old chief sits at his door and teaches the rising generation to
shoot arrows at the copper and silver pieces wnicli the traveler sets
up to test their skill. Still turning west-
ward, we notice the sinuosities of the St.
Charles, as it rolls through green
meadows down to its confluence
with the St. Lawrence.

the Ste. Foye Road ; l)esi(le it is a Martello tower : nearer still is
the Wolfe shaft on the Plains— scenes once glorious and terrible in
the days of iinmetnoraMe conflict.

We will start our visit to the city with the Clidteau Frontenac.
The site of this beau'ciful hotel is that of the ancient Chateau vSt.
Louis, for above two centuries the seat of the govenunent of the
province. The hall of th' old fort, in the early days of the colony,
was ofien the scene of ter. jr and despair at the inroads of the Iro-
quois, who, having pas.sed all the French outposts, threatened the
fort iiself, and massacred some friendly Indians within sight of its
walls.

The Chateau Frontenac is a magnificent new fire-proof hotel,
situated at the eastern end of Dufferin Terrace, commanding delight-
ful views of the vSt. Lawrence as far as the eye can reach — down
past the Isle of Orleans, across to Levis and i)eyond, up stream to

vSillery, and, to the left, the
O '.-*^ ' !- ^''^ \ ""* country along the beautiful

\-alley of the St. Charles
River. It has been planned
with that strong sen.se of
the fitness of things. In ex-
terior it blends with its sur-
roundings : it is ])art of the
wondrous ])icturesqueness. while the interior is a monument to the
skill of the architect, who has retained the maximum of comfort and
beauty without sacrificing the outlook, which has been obtained by
constructing the hotel in the shape of a hor.seshoe.

The foundations of the orignial castle, dating i<^i20, can be seen
still under Dufferin Terrace.

The Hotel Victoria is another of Ouel)ec'.-, hotels. Overlooking
the valley of the vSt. Charles River, it is situated within one block of
the Orand IJattery, and cotnmands a delightful view. Turki.sh,
Russian, electric and swimming baths are connected with this hotel,
whose range of prices are well in keeping with a modest purse,
wdiile the tourist's comfort is well looked after.

Dufferin Terrace was first laid out by the liarl of Durham,
Governor-General of Canada in 183S. During the administration
of the Maniuis of Dufferin and Ava, however, it was improved and
enlarged into the pre.sent promenade, and has since been known as
Dufferin Terrace.

gates of the renowned fortress. These rehcs of a bygone age. with
their massive proportions and grim mediieval architecture, no longer
exist, however, to carry the mind hack to the days which invest the
oldest city in North America with its peculiar interest and attrac-
tion." 15ut (Quebec is still a fortress, and, through the efforts of Lord
Dufferin, a .scheme of restoration was carried out which preserves
the ancient chara.Ler of the city and facilitates the requirements of
modern progress.

A stroll around the ramparts, and an inspection of the picturesque
and substantial archways gives the visitor a good idea of the military
strength of the city. In the midst of these standing evidences of
defiance or defence, we may trace the dominant influence of a greater
power in the embodiment of its religious institutions, still breathing
the monastic spirit of the seventeenth century. Crowning the cliffs
stands the University of Laval, the chief seat of French culture in
the Dominion. In its foundations may be traced the intellectual
development of the country. To the visitor the university posses.ses
a peculiar charm, and many a pricele,ss relic and work of art may be
found within its walls. It has been called after the famous bishop,
Mgr. de Laval de Montmorenci, who endowed it liberally, as did all
hii" successors. Apart from the boarding hou.se — for medical and
law students — and the special buildings for the medical classes, the
main body of the university consists of an immense six-story edifice
about two hundred and fifty feet in length and seventy in depth.
It looks down from the high rock— two hundred feet above the
river — upon the most magnificent scene that Nature, combined with
human invention, can present in America. Its triple towers and
cross-crowned cupola .seem to ri.se in the x^xy heavens. Imposing
as the edifice is from the outside, it is a treasure house within. Its
lecture halls, its professors' rooms, its cla.s.ses in chemistry, physics
and mechanical science — filled with specimens of every modern inven-
tion or appliance, would suffice to keep a stranger hours in pleasant
inve.stigation. Its vast library, one of the most extensive and rare
in Canada, is a treasure in it.self. Its mu.seum certainly .surpa.sses
anything of the class in the country. Among the celebrated ma.sters
represented in the gallery of Laval may he mentioned S;ilvator Rosa,
Teniers, Romenelli, Joseph \'en;et, Paget and Perocci Poussin.

On tlie cliff, ?iear the entrance, may be pointed out the spot
where the gallant ( General Montgomery fell, at the head of the

Another fine edifice tlia"^ claims our attention is the Basilica, near
the old Market Square. It is built on the site of the ancient chtrch
of Notre-Dame-de-la-Recouvrance, erected in 1633, by Samuel de
Chaniplain, to commemorate the restoration of the colony by Britain.
Within this ancient church were interred the remains of Laval —
perhaps the most historic figure in ti.'; annals of New France —

Frontenac, and
many other of
her worthies.
The Basilica con-
tains, amongSv
other valuable
paintings, the
Christ of the Ca-
thedral, by Van
Dyke, and the
F^stasy of St.
Paul, by Carlo
Maratti. Some
of the pictures
were brought to
Canada from
P'rance during
the Revolution.
The square op-
posite, where the
new City Hall
has been erected^
is the site of the
old Jesuit Col-
lege, the last
trace of which
was removed a
few years ago.

There is interest even in the site of this old building, for it was the
oldest college in America, dating from the year 1635. Within its
walls the martyrs Lalemant, Brebeuf and Vipond taught, and Pere
Marquette drew his plans that led to the establishment of Christian-
ity on the banks of the Mississippi. Adjoining the Basilica is the
Archbishop'.s Palace, the residence of his Grace Archbishop Begin.

The next building that claims our attention is the Ursuline
Convent, on Garden street. The convent is beautifully situated in
a garden of seven acres extent, and owes its origin to the religious
zeal of M""^ de la Peltrie and Mere Marie de 1' Incarnation, two
remarkable women, whose devotion has formed themes for poets and
historians. The date of the earliest foundation was 1641, and of the
present 1686. There i.^ a small picture^ preserved here which por-
trays a touching traditici of the early days of Canada. Montcalm,
who fell so gloriously in the battle contending with Wolfe for
supremacy on the Heights of Abraham, is buried in the chapel.
Lord Aylmer, governor-general of Canada in 183 1, caused a simple
marble tablet to be placed above the tomb, bearing this inscription :

Montcalm's tomb is said to have been formed l)y the l)ursting of
a shell during the siege of the city.

The Hotel-Dieu, or Ho.spital of the Precious Blood, was founded
in 1639, by a neice of Cardinal Richelieu. During the seventeenth
century it played an import-
ant part in the religious life '
of the French colony. At-
tached to the convent is the
chapel which contains ihe
bones of Father Lalemant
and the skull of Father Jean
de lirebeuf. An interesting
episode in the history of
Canada, during the last cen-
tury, attaches to a relic in
the possession of the Ladies
of the Hotel-Dieu. In 1742
a soldier of the Montreal
garrison professed to be a
sorcerer, and, in further-
ance of his pretensions, had
profaned sacred objects. He
had taken a crucifix, and,

al the same time reciting certain passages of" Scripture. Public
in(hgiiation was so great that lie was arrested and sentenced to

make pul)lic reparation
in front of the parish
church of Montreal. The
Hishop of Ouebec obtain-
ed the crucifix and pre-
sented it to the Ladies of
the Hotel-Dieu, where it
is still piou.sly preserved.
A place that is espe-
cially attractive to visi-
lors from the United
vStates is number 42 St.
Louis street. In it were
depo.sited the remains of
IJrigadier General Mont-
gomery, on the 31st of
December, 1775.

The quaint old church
of Notre-I)ame-des-Vic-
toires, erected in 1688,
must also be visited, as
it is associated with sev-
eral warlike events : the
memorable repulse of Sir
William Phipps' attack
on Ouebec, on the i6th
October, 1690, and the
providential escape of the town from surrender to Sir Hovenden
Walker's formidable fleet, wrecked on the 22nd August, 171 1.
During the siege of Ouebec, in 1759, a portion of the church was
destroyed by the batteries from Levis.

On the north side of the Place d' Amies, coming off the DufFerin
Terrace, is the I'nion building, erected in 1805, upon the site
of a previous building occupied as a residence, in 1649, by
Governor D'Ailleboust. This building has a very interesting his-
tory. Originally occupied by the famous Barons' Club, it was
afterwards used as the Union and vSt. George's hotels, and as

Ivvery turn that we take in
(Quebec brings us face to face
with some memorial of the
past, and most of its streets
perpetuate the names c ''s
worthies. Among the curious streets that every visitor is suii v
see may be mentioned Sous-le-Cap and the site of the once i. '•lou'i
Breakneck Stairs. Even that modern-looking building, ..:. v jst
Office, has its history, for it is built on the site of an old logei iaty
haunted house known as Le CJiien d'Or. There, in thr -aP we
can see the curious old stone, with its inscription, and ii.^ ^olden
dog gnawing its bone as of old, and in Mr. Kirby's novel, "The
Golden Dog," we can learn still further of its history.

A very enjoyable tour may be made, commencing at the Dufferin
Terrace, along St. Louis street. On the right is the Place d' Amies,
a pretty square ; a military parade ground in the days of the French

contrasts are common in Quebec, for here the old and new meet
together as they meet nowhere else on the continent. Close by is
the Music Hall, and opposite is the little old-fashioned house once
occupied as the headciuarters of General Montcalm. Here he held
his councils of war and prepared his plans for the defence of the city
in 1759. Further on we pass the i^splanade, beside the city walls,
used by the British troops as a parade-ground. From here we can
see ^he Oarrison Club, a very interesting place, and much appre-
ciated by the ofhcers. Immediately outside the gate, on the right,
is tlie Skating Rink, and here we come in view of the handsome
buildings of the Provincial Legislature, which overlook the historic
Plains of Abraham.

Turning into those extensive fields that reach from St. Louis Road

ment of the Brave. It has been erected to commemorate the
heroism of the men who perished at the battle of vSte. Foye.

We must now leave Quebec and cross o\-er on the ferryboat to
Pointe Levis, the opposite shore. This place is equall\- as interest-
ing, in proportion to its size, as is (Juebec itself. The finest possible
view of the old city is to ])e had from the Levis heights. ICspecially
at night, when a thousand electric lights flash upon the scene,
Quebec resembles a X'enice, plus the frowning citadel and terraces
of brilliancy rising one above the other.

It was from Levis that the British cannon played upon Quebec
in 1759. The fortifications to-day are of a superior class in every

the Quebec, Montmorency and Charlevoix Railway, and, as we fly
along, take a glance at the l)eauties of the surrounding country.

The sun llings a sheet of glory over the broad St. Lawrence, the
green Island of Orleans, the white curtain of Montmorency. Off to
the north, the rays of morning dance upon the steeple of Charles-
l)ourg and Lorette, pierce the white clouds upon the summits of the
T<aurentians. and finally (iisai)pear in the gloom of the pine forest
that marks the limit of cultivation and the beginning of primeval
wildne.ss. We glide past the long .serpentine form of Beauport, as it
lays basking upon shore, tlie little villages on Orleans, the Lsle of
Bacchus, as Champlain called it, display their white cottages and
tapering s])ires. they whirl away into di.stance and give place on the
scene to fertile vales and cultivated farms. On our left, the moun-
tains grow larger and bolder, and the huge proportions of Cape
Tourmente break the uniformity of blue hills and green roads. The
last steeple on the island lias ju.st vani.shed, and the vSt. Lawrence
broadens out before us. b'rom out a wilderness of trees, high over
a long .stretch of regular fields, behind several mounds, one peak
appears to cleave the sky. Above it birds of prey hover in security,
at its foot the hamlet of Beaupre repo.se.s — it is the mountain of vSte.
Anne. The train suddenly draws up at the little depot on the .skirts
of the village. We descend, and immediately find ourselves in the
midst of another land, in the centre of an age long pa.st. The rude
habilant carts, the barefooted urchins, and wooden-shod women, the
.simple primitive Norman costumes, the pleasant manners of the
natives, the quaint signboards on tlie hotels, the hurrying pilgrims
and silent devotees, the grotto with its .statue and fountain, the
convent of the Hospital Nuns on the slope of the hill, the inspiring
edifice of the new temple of worsliip, the long wharf .stietching out,
as it were to catch and hold each passing steamer, the banners,

crosses, processions, and, above all. the religious seriousness of
every person, all teil emphatically that we are at last in presence
of the world-famed shrine of Ste. Anne-de-Beaupre.

The tell the story of Ste. Anne we must draw upon the Book of
Holy Writ, upon history and upon tradition. We will .strix j to tell
brietly who the honored patron of the sacred locality was, and how
the spot, so ren-.ote from the then known path of civilization,
became the focus to which converged so many rays of faith. Two

The only offspring of

Mar}', the one destined
to berome the mother
of the Redeemer, and
whose name was to be
called IMesseil by all generations
of men. When the mother of the
Holy \'irgin died, her remains
were interred near Jerusalem, in
the N'alley of Jehoshaphat. From
that vale, in the days of the lun-
peror Trajan, when Christianit}'
was yet but a century old, tradi-
tion tells us that a rudderless ship swept over the Mediterranean
with the most ))recious freight ever borne upon that tideless
sea. This treasure was the body of vSte. Anne, which was being
carried to hVance and placetl in the keeping of St. Auspiciiis,
first bishop (jf Apt, a town in I'roxence. It was there that tlie
great Christian monarch, Charlemagne, found it. In after years
Ste. Anne became the patroness of Britatmy, and at Auray a
.shrine was built in her honor, and the faith of the simple Pireton
taught that she there perfcmed miraculous cures for all who
trusted in her.

vSte. Anne-d' Auray, should she guide them safel}^ through the
storm. They landed at last, under her protection, at the spot where
now stands the beautiful basilica. Tliey built a little chapel in ful-
filment of their promise. In 1060 it became necessary to rebuild
the unsubstantial edifice — a primitive one indeed it w^as — and a
Mr. Ivtienne Lessard j;ave the land necessary for the purpose. At
that time a Sulpician father -de Quen — was parish priest of Quebec,
and he deputed Rev. Mr. \'ignal to go and bless the corner stone
of the new church. The then governor of New h'rance, M.
d'Ailleboust, went down to the ceremony, and officially presided
at the laying (^{ the foundation of the first shrine to vSle. Anne in
Canada. There were then only ten churches in the country. In
1770 the chapter of Carcas.sonne, in bVance, sent out a relic of
vSt. Anne, to be kept in the new slirine. Rich presents came from
the court of Louis XI \\ and the queen-mother— Anne of Austria —

These were days of great faith and great glory ; this was the age
when the spirit of heroism had been revived by Tnrenne : the spark
of chivalry had been stirred up by Conde ; exploits of navigators
and explorers were repeated from iip to lip ; voyageurs brought back
stories of the wonderful shrine upon the banks of the majestic vSt.
Lawrence ; religious fervor and national enthusiasm coml^ined to
lavish gifts upon the huml)le church that stood amidst primeval
grandeur upon the confines of a new world. The Maniuis de
Tracey, vice-roy of New hVance, had vowed, in the hour of ship-
wreck, to lay a gift at the feet of Ste. Anne. He fulfilled his com-
pact by presenting a painting by tVie famed artist Lebrun, repre-
■senting Ste. Aiuie and two pilgrims. It hangs over the high altar
of the church, and beneath it are the arms of the donor. Bishop
I^avf?! de Montmorency gave two pictures from the brush of Luc
Lefran^ois, a Franciscan friar, and a silver reliquary set in precious
.stones. In 1706 Lemoine d' Iberville, the heroic pioneer soldier,
presented the massive silver crucifix now on the altar. Previous to
1866 the magnificent new church was erected, also an auxiliary
chapel built with the materials, and having the decorations, steeple
and bell, of the primitive church, was placed at the north side of
the large temple. The new church is two hundred feet long, one
hundred and five feet broad, fifty-six feet high internally, and has
a number of lateral chapels and a large sacristy. It was solemnly
bles.sed and opened for public worship on the 17th of October, 1876.

pleasant day examining the beautiful i)aintings, diving into the
lateral chapels, watching the processions of " the lame, the halt and
the blind" coming and going, and taking in .scenes that cannot be
duplicated on the American continent. In 1889 the number of
pilgrims ran up to nearly one hundred thousand, and in 1897 there
were one hundred and twenty-three thousand four lutndred and
fifty-five who pa.s.sed in and out of that temple. It has only been
within ;u<- la.si twenty or Ihirtv years that pilgrims have carried

cures — hundreds of which are as well authenticated as any fact of
history — are due to the miraculous intervention of the saint, or to
the faith of the devotees, or to natural causes that have never been
explained, still the cold, undeniable, glaring facts are there. The
lame have thrown away their crutches and have walked, the blind
have recovered their power of visi(jn, the paralytic have been
relieved of their sufferings, and numberless other infirmities have
disappeared at vSte. Aune-de-Beaupre. The writer witnessed one
case — of an invalid who had not walked for years and was carried
on a chair to the altar-raih— and the result was astounding. The
infirm pilgrim aro.se, at a given moment, from the chair, even as if
the Son of God had repeated His words: "Arise, take up thy bed
and walk."

It matters not with what preconceived ideas you approach this
sacred place, whether you believe or disl^elieve in the intercession of
the saint and in the miraculous effects of the prayers offered up, you
cannot fail to be stirred into emotion by all the surrounilings. If
the traveller be a Roman Catholic, he tlnds something sublimel>'
unusual in a pilgrimage to a sacred shrine ; he is wafted back to the
'' Ages of Faith," when the pilgrim, with staff in hand and cross on
breast, trod the weary and lengthy paths that led to the centres of
devotion ; he feels an indescribable inspiration in the presence of so

Baie vSt. Paul was t.u scene of a tierce elemental war. For .six
months and a half shocks were felt throughout Canada. Along the
St. Lawrence meteors tilled the air, which was dark with smoke and
cinders, the grass withered and crops would not grow. New lakes
were formed and the appearance of the shore was altered, and a hill
descended into the waters and emerged to form an island. Isle-aux-
Coudres has its legend gathering round the memory of Pcre La
Brosse, the faithful priest of the Hudson's Pay post at Tadousac.
The legend runs that ihe priest, one evening, while conversing with
his little flock, told them that at midnight he wu)uld be acorp.se, and
at that hour the bell oi the chapel wouKl toll for the p.issing soul.
He told them not to touch his body, but U) hasten, whatever the
weather, on the following day, to Isle-aux-Coudres to fetch Messieur
Compain, who would be waiting for them, to wrap his body in its
shroud. At the first stroke of midnight the liltle baud was .startled

but, faithlul to their piomise, they set out for Isle-aux-Coudrcs,
where, as foretold, h'ather Coiupain was waiting^, breviary in hand,
having been warned in a vision and by the tolling of the bell of his
own chapel. For years after, the Indians, going up and down the
Saguenay, never passed Tadousac without praying in the church
where reposed the body of him who had been to them the image of
their Heavenly I'-ather. I'ro.strating themselves on his tomb, and
placing their mouths at a little orifice made in the floor of the choir,
they talked to him as in life, in perfect confidence. The ingenuous-
ne.ss and simplicity of the faith of lhe.se swarthy Montagnais is
a touching monument to I'ere La iJrosse. The relics of I'cre La
Hrosse, whose memory is revered to this day, were removed man\-
years ago to the church at Chicoutimi.

All along this route a series of wild and rugged grandeur is pre-
sented to view, forming a fitting prelude to the wondrous splendor
of the Saguenay.

wide, with the bold Laurentian mountains forming the opposite
shore, which, with the remarkably pure air, produces most beautiful
sunsets and is .surrounded with lovely views as far as the eye can
reach. The magnificent shade-trees and groves, lawns, play-grounds
and promenades, driving on the fine roads, inland or on shore, boat-

Across the river, twenty odd miles, is the town of Tadousac, at
llie mouth of the Saguenay. Tadousac was the first settlement
made by the French on the vSt. Lawrence. It was their principal
tur-trading post, and the large revenues from this trade were a
prolific .source of contention during most of the time in which the
kings of France held .sway in Canada. As the fur-bearing animals,
however, disappeared, .so did the
commercial and political glory of
Tadousac, and now a (juiet hamlet,
still glorious in its surroundings, is
what is left of the former life of this
historic spot.

There is a very pleasant and
comfortable hotel here, which is

from the .Saguenay hills meet here, and probably at no place in
North America can the denizens from heated localities find greater
relief or lay in a larger amount of health than at Tadousac. Time
is given to walk over and visit the village, including the little
church, the first ever l)uilt in Canada, and at half- past eight the
steamer i^repares to face the mysteries of the world famed Saguenay,
and enter a .scene which pen has never yet adequately described.
No one can realize this picture all at once : everything is deceptive,
and it takes time to grasp the magnitude of the surroundings, lint
l)y degrees the immensity ind ai>palling grandeur of the environ-
ments a.^sert them.selves, and the beholder feels and knows that he is
in close communion wilh the awful majest\- of nature. Here, above
all other places, the grandest works ot man sink into insignificance,
and the ver\' silence seems to do homage as to a god. Calm and
unbroken is the .solitude of nature in this her temple. Mirth and
laughter nia\- ripple over the waters, but she heeds them not.
Storms and tempests may rage arouinl, and the sun's fienv rays

descend upon her brow, seeking to disturb her serenity ; but in vain.
X'ictorious in some elemental conflict, she ceases from her labors.
Peace, inviolate, is the guerdon of her warfare, and the loneliness of
her grandeur the highest monument of her triumph.

Thus we are made to feel as the seclusion of these waters is
penetrated. At every turn some new and unexpfcted beauty meets
the eye, distinct, bearing the .stamp of individuality, and yet, in
some mysterious manner, in,sei)arable from the whole. There are,
however, no rivals among these gorgeous scenes. Projecting rock and
sheltered cove, fir-crowned cliff and open bay, each to the other lends a
charm, and each reiterates the same grand theme. I'.ven the silent
bosom of the waterscontributes its meed of praise, for in their unfathom
able depths are mirrored the heights which soar into the infinite.

Who can picture this scene l)y moonlight ? \'ision is replaced
by feeling. Vender in the distance a silvery beam of light seems to
have lo.st its way among these frowning sentinels, and to tremble
in their keeping. On we glide through its fair_\ -like shadows into
darkness again, and the rocks appear to bar our progress. But no :
still we move, and wonder only succeeds wonder.

But let us change the scene to daylighl. in the golden glory of a
summer's day. As the vessel moves onward, the multiform rocks,

the bays and projections, the perpend icuhir walls, slanting sides and
overhangini; cliffs, all change with the rapidity of a kaleidoscopic
view. But there is no monotony, only increasing loveliness. From
the summit of these rocks, crowned with sunshine, to the depths of
the transparent waters, all is beauty and deep and lasting peace.

C.'ipes'Triiiity and ICUTiiity, Saj;uciiay River.

The .scene grows upon you hour by hour, until you seem to form a
part and share in this wondrous manifestation of nature. The .shades
contrasted with the sunlight form beautiful combinations, but when
the shadow of Cape Ivternity falls upon the surrounding slopes, as if
the sun had withdrawn its light, while high above is seen its glitter-
ing crown, a picture is formed which no words can paint, for no scene
will ever replace that formed under the shadows of Cape Kternity.

But our journey is not yet ended. On we pass, surrounded by
nature in her wildest moods, until appear once more the scenes
of civilization. The sight of the beautiful open v/ater known as
Ha ! Ha ! Bay comes as a relief after the majesty we have left
behind us. The bay was named, .so the story runs, from the sur-
prised laugh of the earliest French explorers, who, sailing, as they
thought, straight up the river, found themselves in this huge cul-
de-.sac. A scattered, picturesque village decks the shore, and the

tourist will meet with an interesting; type of Canadian character in
the villagers. A short drive tlirough a romantic country, enjoying
the breeze of the pine-clad hills, or a sail in the .steamer round the
bend of the river, will bring us to Chicoutimi.

Beautifully situated on a hill, Chicoutimi seems to form a little
world of its own. Its name appears to l)e singularly appropriate,
meaning in Cree " Up to here it is deep."

Chicoutimi was one of the earliest Jesuit mi.s.sions, and a great
fur-trading centre, becoming afterwards one of the principal posts of
the Hudson's Hay Company, and it could boast of a church as early
as 1670.

Chicoutimi has now a splendid aqueduct .system, and is illumin-
ated by electric light. There is also a very large pulp mill, which
is supplied with water power by means of a flume having a diameter
of II '/- feet.

Its newly enlarged hotel now bears the name of the Chateau
Saguenay. It is lighted by electricity, and is as comfortable and
homelike as a traveller would wish.

We are near the famous hunting and fishing grounds of the
Saguenay region. Tourists who wish to reach the paradise of wiM-
wood sport, in the vicinity of Lake St. John, may take their passage
at Chicoutimi via the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway, as the
Richelieu steamers connect with the trains on this line.

The beautiful and fertile region of the lake continues to attract
sportsmen to its shores. Here are the homes and haunts of the
land-locked salmon, rejoicing in the euphonious Indian of Ouan-an-
ische, and may well be described as a mailed warrior of surpassing
courage and determination wiien he takes the hook. Dear to the true
hunter, he is not only a good fighter in the water, but
a delicately delicious guest at the table.

Cxood fishing is to be had anywhere on the rivers
and lakes of the gloriously diversified region around
Lake St. John. And there large game— deer, bear,
moose and the wapiti— are to be found in season, with
capable and companionable guides to lead the hunter
to their native fastnesses. Nowhera in the world will
the sportsman and the lover of the grand and beauti-
ful in nature find better rewards for his toil. Many
American, as well as Canadian, fishing clubs, have
leases, or own lakes among the.se bills. But there is
room for thousands more ; the country is so vast and
its lakes and rivers simply inexhaustible. There are
good hotels and every accommodation to be had in
the villages around Lake vSt. John. Guides and
canoes are available there for sportsmen, and an
elegant steel steamer, the " Mistassini," having a
capacity for four hundred pa.s.sengers, runs daily be-
tween Rol)erval and the fishing grounds on the other
side of Lake St. John.

It is time, however, to return to our steamer.
Leaving Chicoutimi behind, we pass again through
magnificent .scenery, which is still further impre.s.sed on our memory.
Rapidly we glide by the long procession of headland, rock and hill,
the scattered hamlets, the silver threads of cascades here and there
trickling down dark precipices, until, towards evening, we approach
the rocky nooks of Tadousac. We can just distinguish in the star-
light the massive wooden pier and the lofty pines before us. In a
short time we are fairly out of the Saguenay and enter the wide
expanse of the vSt. Lawrence, which we cross to Riviere-du-Loup.
Riviere-du-Loup is the stopping place for passengers for Cacouna.
The steamers recross again to Murray Bay, and in the morning
we find ourselves again in Quebec, with a whole day before us.

yuebec. A point of particular interest within pleasant driving
distance is the site of tiie old hunting lodge of tiie Intendant Higot,
beyond the village of Charlesbourg. All that now remain of the
building known as Chateau Bigot are the weather-beaten walls, in
an open glade beside a stream, with a few bushes which indicate the
presence of a garden. Here the wicked intendant was wont to hold
his carousals with his boon companions of the hunt, after the fashion
pictured in Le Chien iVOr. The building has its legend of a buried
hoard of silver, and of a beautiful Huron girl, who loved Higot
and died a vio-
lent death.

are to be found. In the house of one of the chiefs is preserved a
portrait bestowed by royal hands on a former chief.

A charming drive, nine miles below Quebec, leads to the Falls of
Montmorency.

The old, long, (juaint village of Beauport, where may still be
seen the remants of Montcalm's forts— and in the centre of which is
the famous asylum — stretches nearly the whole distance. Like a
large pre- historic monster, it lies along the shore of the river, its
head resting upon the bridge over the .St. Charles, and its tail lash-
ing into foam the wonderful Falls of Montmorency. It would be
impossible to give an accurate description of the beauty, the majesty,
the thundering might of those falls, either in winter or in summer.
Down a precipice of over two hundred feet, the Montmorency River
plunges into the vSt. Lawrence, and, as if recoiling after its terrible
fall, it bends back in spray that, when frozen, leaves a cone fifty feet
high, in winter, between the torrent l)ehind and the sheet of ice in

front. We must not forget to visit the Island of Orleans, the sum-
mer residence of so many guebeckers. It is a charming sail down
stream, during which we get a panoramic view of Ouebec, Beauport
and the Montmorencx- I-alls on one side and Levis on the other.

An enjoyable day may be spent visiting either of the places
mentioned, while tliose who jirefer to remain in the city will find
many new and interesting features.

In the evening the steamer leaves for Montreal, and a pleasant
night's sail up the vSt. Lawrence, with restful sleep, lands the
traveller in Montreal in the early morning.

Montreal is happily typical of Canada, for, l)esides being the
commercial metropolis of the Dominion, from its position at the
head of ocean navigation, it still retains in its .streets and its
inhabitants, many traces of blench and English occupa-
tion. Here the Old World mingles with the New, and
the rapid strides of progress seem only to make the contrast more
apparent. It is not only to the Canadian tourist that Montreal
appeals with special interest ; visitors from the sister country will
find amid its memorials much which speaks to them of their own
country, and many a link that binds them in a friendly bond of
union.

The accompanying little sketch and illustrations will serve to
assist in a tour of inspection, and be worthy of preservation as a
.souvenir of a visit to the metropolis of Canada. The first place to
visit is the Custom Hou.se, a short distance to the west of the
Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company's wharves. Our mis-
sion is not to decide any question of tariff, but to view the cradle of
Montreal. Affixed to this building are two tablets which read as
follows: " Tliis site was selected and named, in 1611, 'La Place
Royale,' by vSamuel de Champlain, the founder of Canada," and
" Near this spot, on the iSth day of May, 1642, landed the founders
of Montreal, commanded ])y I'aul de Chomedey, .sieur de Maison-
neuve ; their first proceeding being a religious .service."

The city, it is seen, was founded in 1642. by Paul de Chomedey,
a knight of the medieval school, who was accompanied by a Jesuit,
Father Vimont. While in the vicinity, it may be interesting to
learn .something of the ceremony attending 'lie foundation. As eve
approached, Maisonnenve and his followers assembled at the place
indicated bv yonder obelisk, where the first mass was sung. History
has preserved part of that early scene in these words : " Tents were

pitched, camp fires were lij^hted. evening fell, and mass was
held. Fireflies cau>;ht and imprisoned in a phial npon the
altar served as lights, and the little band was solemnly
addressed by \iniont in words which included these : 'Vou
are a grain of nuistard-seed that shall rise and
grow till its i)ranches overshadow the earth.
Vou are few, but your work is the work of
(iod. His smile is upon you, and your chil-
dren shall fdl the land.' " vSuch, then, were
the beginnings of the city, and the foundation
of the educational and commercial system
which, in the space of two hundred and fifty
years, has changed the aspect of this vast
country.

There is, however, an earlier period, which
takes us back into the ages of discovery,
gathering around the name of Jacques
Cartier. without which no description of
Montreal would be complete. In 1535
Jacques Cartier, shortly after his discovery of
Quebec, sailed up the St. Lawrence in .search of the kingdom of
Hochelaga, of which he had received glowing accounts from the
Indians of Stadacona. On the 2nd of October the exploring party,
consisting of about fifty sailors and their officers, in a small galleon
and two longboats, approached the shores of the mysterious king-
dom. An Indian path led through the forest to the fortified town
or kingdom of Hochelaga, situated at the base of the mountain.
All trace of this village, however, had disappeared at the time of
Champlain's vi.sit, and its inhabitants had either been massacred
or carried away into captivity during the war after Jacques Cartier' s
visit.

The history of the war between the Iroquois and Hurons has
been preserved by a descendant of the latter tribe, from whom it is
learned that the Hurons and Senecas lived in peace and friendship
for many a generation at the town of Hochelaga. They intermarried
and had no cau.se for quarrel, till, for .some reason, a vSeneca chief
refused his .son permission to wed a maiden of the other tribe.
Enraged at the action of the stern parent, the lady refused all offers
of marriage, declaring that she would only wed the warrior who
should slay the chief who had interfered with her happiness. A

loi

young Wyandotte, smitten by her charms, attacked atid slew the
old chief, and received the coveted reward. The Sentcas, however,
adopted the cause of their chief, and a terrible fratricidal war spread
desolation throughout the Huron country, nor did it cease until the
Iroquois had completely broken and exterminated the Hurons. The
story of the heroine has been compared to that of Helen, anil the
fate of Hochelaga to the siege of Troy.

While in this vicinity, Honsecours Church and H(msecours Market
claim attention. The church of Notre- 1 )ame-<le- Honsecours, from
which the adjoining market derives its name, is, to the anti(iuarian,
of the deepest interest. Its foundation dates from 1657, only fifteen
years after the foundation of the city, when de Maisonneuve donated
a piece of land on which to build a chapel. The first building mea-
sured thirty by forty feet, but it was soon found to be too small, and
in 1675 a larger church was commenced, which stood until its
destruction by fire in 1754. The present church was conmienced
soon after, but not complt.^d until 1771. There are many old
paintings in the church, to which great value is attached, but the
principal object is the time-honored statue of the Blessed Virgin.
This was acquired by Sister Mary Bourgeois from a noble of Britany,

human nature, the habitant and his methods of doing business will

In the midst of the vSt. Lawrence, nearly opposite the market, is
a favorite resort in summer, known as St. Fleien's Island, named by
Champlaiu after his wife. The i.sland is laid out as a park, and,
l)eing thickly wooded, has many shaded walks. Within an enclosure

contai'" a fort is a space reserved for military purposes. The
island is i ached by the boats of the Richelieu and Ontario Navi-
gation Company.

To enable the tourist to take in at a glance the magnificence of
the city's situation, it is necessary to visit the Mountain Park.
Ascending the mountain by the inclined railway or l)y a series of
winding roads, a glimpse is obtained here and there through the
foliage of the panorama .spread out below ; l)ut it is not till the sum-
mit is reached that an idea of the va.stness of the scene is realized.
It was from this point that Jac(|ues Cartier viewed the fertile country
he had come to claim for h'rance, wher, uplifting the cro.ss, he gave
to it the name of Mount Royal.

"Therefrom one .sees very far," he wrote, and his words are
re-echoed to-day. On one side stretches out the city, with its spires
and domes glittering in the .sun, the palatial homes of the wealthy,
the meaner dwellings of the poor ; broad avenues and parks and
tokens of indu.stry, and beyond. Nature's watery highway lined
with docks and shipping, the pro.sperous towns and villages
which rise from its .southern shore. And turning, through the
shadow of the trees, may be seen the beautiful and silent city of
the dead.

It may be observed that with the rise of commerce the city has
crept nearer and nearer to the foot of the mountain. For fifty years
after its foundation the limits of the town were strictly confined
within fortified walls, on account of the frequent attacks of the
Indians, but
as they were
subdued or
civilized, sub-
urbs sprang
up outside of
these bound-
aries.

due to the operations of the North-West Company. This association
of wealthy l-rench Canadian and Scottish merchants made their
headquarters in the town, while developing the fur trade in the Far
West, and their activity and enterprise did much to build up the
commercial fabric of Canada.

The advantageous position thus obtained has become permanent,
for, backed by the great lake and canal systems which connect it

with Chicago, Du-
luthand othercities,
its influence pierces
far into the interior,
and the Canadian
Pacific Railroad,
with headquarters
in Montreal, brings
the commerce of In-
dia and China and
the Canadian West
across the contin-
ent. In the year
1672 the population
of Montreal was
one thousand five
hundred and twen-
ty, and aij idea of
the progress made
in fifty years ma}'^
be gleaned from the
fact that about this
time the village of
Laprairie, on the southern shore, was founded by a band of Christian
Iroquois. A hundred years later, in 1770, is found the following
description : " Montreal is situated on an island of that name, the
second place in Canada for extent, buildings and strength. The
streets are regular, forming an oblong square, and the houses are
well built. The city has six or .seven gates, large and small, but its
fortifications are mean and inconsiderable. The inhabitants, about
five thousand, are gay and lively, and more attached to dress and
finery than those of Quebec, and, from the number of silk sacks,
laced coats and powdered heads that are constantly seen in the

streets, a stranger would imagine that Montreal was wholly inhabited
by people of independent fortunes." As the present population is
about three hundred thousand, considerable progress is manifest
since 1770. For a long time Commissioners street, on the water
front, was the great business thoroughfare : then vSt. Paul street
doffed its private character and assumed a commercial aspect.
Later on, business found its way into Notre- Dame street, and
thence into St. James street, but here its limitations were marked
for many years. At this time Craig street was an open ditch, that
surrounded the old fortifications of the city. This, in time, was
filled up and transformed into a broad avenue, and then trade crept
still further north. Within the past few years St. Catherine street,
so long devoted to private residences, has become the centre of great
activity, and dwellings are constantly being converted into stores.
Important improvements have been completed by the municipal
authorities within the past ten years that contribute to the beauty
and facilities of the city. Nearly all the streets have been paved,
and several of the leading thoroughfares have been widened. There
has also been a notable increase of buildings erected by corporations
and business firms. Among these may be mentioned the stations of
the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific railways, both of which
were comparatively insignificant buildings until within this period.
On St. James street, in particular, several handsome structures have
been completed, including the lofty building of the New York Life

extensive alterations. On Notre- Dame street the Sun Life Insurance

list of large buildings, and on St. Catherine street the most import-
ant .structures erected within this period are St. James Methodist
Church, Morgan's dr> goods store, Henry Birks & Sons' building,
and Murphy's and Ogilvy's buildings. The Montreal Street Rail-
way, on the corner of Craig street and Place d" Amies hill, have also
a fine office building. A corresponding activity has been noticeable

years ago, by the Duche.ss de Bullion, and much of the early history
of Montreal is bound up with it. Turning into Pine avenue, there
is a good view of the buildings of the Royal \'ictoria Hospital, the
joint gift of Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal and Lord Mount
Stephen. It is constructed on the most approved plans, equipped
with all modern appliances, and recognized as one of the leading
hospitals on the continent.

also bequeathed the sum of ten thousand pounds sterling to the
Royal Institution of Learning to 'establish a university to be distin-

The Peter Redpath Museum was donated to the university, in 1880,
by Mr. Redpath. In i8yo Mr. W. C. McDonald gave the McDonald

Within a few minutes' drive from McCrill, on Sherbrooke street,
are the sul)stantial buildings and ample grounds of Montreal
College, under the direction of the vSulpicians. This is one of
the best classical colleges in America. In connection with it is
the Grand Seminary, and recently a new school of philosophy
has been erected on the hill, near the botanical gardens, to
accommodate the increasing number of students. From this col-
lege priests have gone forth into almost every diocese of the
ITnited States. Close to the entrance of the new building may be
seen the ruins of Capitulation Mouse, which is asserted by tradition to

remains for us to direct attention to the numerous buildings and
institutions that are calculated to prove of interest.

The Laval ITniversity is to the French what McGill is to the
English — their principal seat of learning. The chief seat of Laval,

however, is at Quebec. It rose out of the Semin-
ary of Quebec, founded by Mgr. Laval, a princely
prelate, who endowed the institution with his vast wealth. The
university charter is dated 1852, and therein it is given the name of its
founder. The lectures of the faculties in Montreal have hitherto been
delivered in various buildings scattered over the city, but recently a
new and handsome building has been erected on St. Denis street.

Amongst Montrt ''s most interesting buildings is the Chateau
de Ramezay — one of the oldest historical landmarks — associated
with events of the greatest importance in Canadian
history. It was built in 1705 by Claude de Rame-
zay, governor of Montreal. Within its venerable
walls, after the Tall of Quebec, in 1760, arrangements were com-
pleted for the withdrawal of the last French garrison from Montreal,
by which act the finest colony of France, and for which the French
had done so much, became the possession of Britain.

In 1775 the chateau was again made memora])le as the head-
quarters of the American Brigadier- General Wooster. and in the

following year, under General Benedict Arnold, the Connnissioners
of Congress, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Chast, and Charles Carroll
of Carrolton, here held council. To Benjamin Franklin Montreal
was indebted for its first printer- -Fleury Mesplet, who established
7Vic Gazette, which is still in existence as one of the leading papers
of the city.

For years after the British conquest, the chateau was recog-
nized as the official residence of ICiiglish governors while here.
For a t'me a portion of the building was used as the Circuit
Court, but is now converted into a museum, in which repose
many interesting souvenirs a.ssociated with the history of Can-
ada. A visit to the spacious vaults will give an idea of the
stability of the structure, which could not be obtained from
exterior view.

Eastwards is the old Quebec Gate Barracks, now utilized as
a railway station, and on Craig street are the famed Viger Gardens,
opposite which the new hotel and station has been erected by the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company.

To the west of the City Hall is situated the Court House, recently
enlarged to meet the legal requirements of Montreal and the dis-
trict. Affixed to this building is a tablet bearing this inscription :
" Here stood the church, chapel and residence of the Jesuit Fathers.

of justice, in various forms, seems to have been meted out on this spot
fiom the earliest to the present tin;o The north side of the Court
House overlooks a large open space, known as the Champ de Mars,
still used as a military parade-ground. The soldiers of France and

British troops

this historic
ground. East of

building in the city. It is a line solid structure of red stone, six
storeys in height and well laid out. Many of the large manufac-
turers and corporations have offices in the building. The Board's
exchange hall occupies an area of over four thousand square feet,
while the safety vaults beneath cover an area of three thousand
square feet.

The Post Office, on St. James street, is built in French Renais-
sance style, and has recently been altered to meet the requirements
of the city, but it is still considered too small for the vast amount of
business transacted.

In this square, past and present interests are united.

On the north side is the Bank of Montreal, one of
the wealthiest institutions on the continent, having a capital of
twelve million and a reserve fund of six million dollars. The style
of its architecture, of the Corinthian order, forms a pleasing contrast
to the buildings which surround it. The sculpture of the pediment,
representing Canadian scenes, is the work of Mr. Steel, R.S. A. Some
of the frescoes of the interior are considered very fine, and should be
seen. The northern boundary of the city, in 1721, extended as far
as this building, the .stone fortifications running through its side.

F'acing the bank, on the south side, is the parish church of
Notre-Dame, with its two impressive towers, which rise to a height
of two hundred and twenty-seven feet. The length of the church is
two hundred and fifty-five feet, with a l)readth of one liundred and
thirty-five feet, and a seating capacity of fourteen thousand. To
see this vast edifice crowded, as it is on important festivals of the
Church, such as midnight mass at Christmas and similar occasions,
is a mo.st imposing spectacle.

A chapel at the south-east of the church has been recently con-
structed, and is a beautiful specimen of ecclesiastical architecture.
The view obtained fro' the west tower is a remarkable one ; on a
clear day, in the far distance, may be seen the hills of Vermont.
The great bell, named Gros Bourdon, weighing 24,780 lbs., one of
the five largest bells in the world, is also located in this tower.
Many fine specimens of art are to be found in the church,
which is open at all times. Adjoining the church is the
Seminary of St. Sulpice, which is interesting as preserving
the ancient style of architecture of the building of the city. '
Many curious volumes are to be found in the library of the
seminary, one of special interest being the first parish regis- ,
ter of the church, in which the signature of de Maisonneuve,
the founder of Montreal, frequently occurs.

On the eastern corner of the square is a tablet read-
ing thus : "In 1675 here lived Daniel de Gresolon,
Sieur Duluth, one of the explorers of the Upper Mis-
sissippi, after whom the city of Duluth was named."

On this square, picturesquely situated, are many of
the important buildings of Montreal. The Windsor,
one of the best hotels in Canada, occupies a commanding site at the
corner of Dorchester street. The hotel is thoroughly equipped, and
provides accommodation for seven hundred guests. A large hall
adjoining, with a seating capacity of sixteen hundred, is utilized as
a ball-room and as a hall for private or public receptions. Both in
winter and summer, a largv_ amount of busine.ss is done, and in past
years, when the winter carnival was on the square, a splendid view
of the ice palace and other buildings could be obtained from the

windows of the hotel. Iviciii^ the southeast corner of the hotel is the
Macdonald memorial, erected to the memory of the late Honorable
Sir John A. Macdonald, prime mini.ster of Canada, and one of the
" fathers of Confederation." The monnment was unveiled on the
6th of June, 1.S9',, by Lord Aberdeen, then governor- j.^eneral. The
bronze fijjfure under the canopy represents the Premier in the robes
of a (irand Commander of the IJath, of vvhich order he was a mem-
ber. The canopy is crowned with the figure of Canada, encircled
by the nine provinces of the Dominion. The bas-relief panels are
illustrative of Canadian history. The figures were designed and
modelled by Mr. Wade, an Knglish .sculptor.

At the south-east of the .sfjuare, facing Dorchester street, is
St. James Cathedral, claimed to be the largest cliurch on the
continent. The foundations were commenced in iSyo, and much of
the work is still incomplete. The ground plan of the cathedral
is designed in the form of a cross, three hundred and thirty feet
long and two hundred and twenty-two feet wide, after the model of
St. Peter's at Rome.

The dome, which always attracts visitors, is seventy feet in
diameter and rises to a height of two hundred and ten feet in-
side, while the extreme height to the top of the cross is two
hundred and fifty feet. Adjoining the cathedral on the south is
the palace of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Montreal.

the new stone and brick strncture of the Young Men's Christina
Association. The appointnicnts of this building are very complete,
and it has a large niemliership.

Located at the south-west of the square is the massive grey stone
building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The exterior appearance

however, located at Point St. Charles.

Within a few minutes' drive of the square, on Dorchester street,
is a building always attractive to visitors — the Grey Nuns' Hospital.
It was founded in 1747, by Madame de Youville, the widow of an
officer. Many objects of interest are to be seen here, such as the
personal belongings of the foundress. There is also a legendary
interest attached to portions of the grounds. The story of the red
cross, which is to be seen at the corner of Dorchester street, takes us
back to the days of the rack, for it is said to mark the grave of one
who, after conviction of murder and robbery, was condemned to be
broken alive.

In "Montreal after Two Hundred and Fifty Years," by Mr,
Lighthall, we find that the punishment inflicted on this unfortu-
nate individual was as follows: "He was condemned to torture,
ordinary and extraordinary, and then to have his arms, legs,
thighs and reins broken, alive, on a scaffijld to be erected in the
market-place of the city, then put on a rack, his face towards the
sky, to be left to die. ' '

The (louj;liter of the touudiT of the State of Xermoiit, Ivlhaii
Alien, was a nieinher of the order of the Grey Xiins, and there is a
pretty legend connected with her and a picture of vSt. Joseph which
led her to finally adopt the vows of the sisterhood.

The Natural History Society Museutn, situated on I'liiversity
street, ofT St. Catiierine, is a small, unpretentious building, hut it
will undoubtedly prove interesting to niany of our visitors. The
library is rich in scientific lore, while many priceless collections are
to be found in the museum. The herrier collection of I-!gyptian
antiquities is probably the mo.st perfect in America. The Natural
History vSociety, which publishes the Ccviadian /■iironi of Scicnrc,
has its headquarters in this building.

The Art (iallery, located on I'iiillips vSquare, contains a fine
collection, in which Canadian art is well represented, but frequently
loan exhibitions are held here, when works are on view from the
private galleries of wealthy citizens. vSome of the most valuable
pictures in the world are the property of Montrealers.

The only public library in Montreal is the I^'ra.ser In.stitute, on
Dorchester street. The number of volumes is somewhat small,
though the selection is good. In the French .section there are many
exceedingly valuable works.

Montreal is known far and wide as the city of churches, and
there are many others besides tho.se we have already mentioned that
are worthy of inspection.

St. Patrick's Church is one of the finest .structures in the city.
It is pa) cxccllcuir the .shrine where the Irish Catholics worship. It
is surrounded by extensive grounds. The church is under the direc-
tion of the members of St. Sulpice, and its aisles have witnessed
some of the most imposing ceremonies ever beheld in Montreal.

On vSt. Catherine street, immediately east of St. Denis, is the
gem-like church of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes. This was built in
1874. It was erected in honor of the Immaculate Conception and
of the apparition of the Blessed \'irgin to Bernadetta Soubirous, in
the Grotto of Lourdes, in the Upper Pyrenees.

To tlie Numismatic and Antiquarian vSociety of Montreal we are
indebted for the numerous tablets which, with their inscriptions,
indicate placesof historic interest that would otherwise be lost sight of.

At the corner of St. Peter and St. Paul streets a tablet is affixed
to a building, the inscription of which reads as follows: "Here
lived Robert Cavalier, vSieur de La Salle, 1668."
The name of La Salle stands out boldly in hi.story,
and reference has been made to him previously in
connection with the village of Lachine. To Americans and Cana-
dians his deeds appeal with eijual force. Of him the late Francis
Parkman, of Boston, wrote: "Beset by a throng of enemies, he
stands, like the King of Israel, head and shoulders over all. He
was a tower of adamant, again.^t whose impregnable front hardship

and danger, the rage of man and the elements, the southern sun,
the northern blast, fatigue, famine and disease, delays, disappoint-

pride which, Coriolanus-like, declared itself most sternly in the
thicke.st press of foes, has in it something to challenge admiration.
Never, under the impenetrable mail of paladin or crusader, bt;at a
heart of more intrepid metal than withiii the stoic panoply that
armed the breast of La JSalle. America owes him an enduring
memory, for in his masculine figure she sees the pioneer who guided
her to her richest heritage." La Salle met with a tragic fate, being
assassinated by two of his followers, in Louisiana, in 1687.

Another hou.se that will interest visitors from the sister country
is situated on the south-ea.st corner of vSt. Peter and Notre- Dame
.streets. It is an old-fashioned building, but it was once the most
magnificent dwelling in the city, with grounds extending across
Notre- Dame and JSt. James streets and terminating at Craig street.
It was here that the gallant American, General Montgomery, took
up his headquarters in 1755, and it was afterwards occupied by
Generals Wooster and Arnold, of the United States army. The
interior decoration appears to have been very elaborate, for we find
this description: "The principal rooms were wainscotted up to a
certain height, and above that, tapestried richly with scenes from the
life of Louis XIV. A tablet fixed to the Ijuildiug reads : "Forrester

of 1775-76."

Another site that appeals to tourists is located on St. I'aul street,

between Place Royale and vSl. vSulpice street, as being the birthplace

of Pierre I.eMoine, in 1661. It was he who conquered the Hudson's

Bay for Frarxe, in 1697, and who discovered the mouth of the

Mississippi, 1699. In 1 700 he was elected first governor of Louisiana.

His brother, who founded New ()rleans, in 17 17, and was afterwards

governor of Louisiana for forty years, was born in this house.

Jfdam Dollard.

In an old French .street,
off St. James
street, be-
tween St. Peter and McGill
streets, known as Dollard
lane, is a tablet reading :
"To Adam Dollard des

Christ einuch Cathedral, Montreal. OmieaUX, wllO, witll six-

teen colonists, four Algonquins and one Huron, sacrificed their lives
at the Long Sault of the Ottawa, 21st May, 1660, and saved the
colony."

The story of the heroism of Dollard has been told over and over
again in prose and verse, and is familiar to a large number of
Americans thereby.

Montreal is famous for its athletic clubs. The largest body of
athletes is the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, whose mag-
nificent grounds are situated on St. Catherine street west, on the
direct line of the street cars. The national game is lacros.se, which

is carried to greater perfection here than elsewhere. The vShamrock
Amateur Athletic Association have recently opened up their beauti-
ful grounds in the north of the city. The Montreal Hunt Club
have a fine pack of hounds, which may be seen at the kennels. As

the winter is the
"■ season for sports,
when the skating
rinks and curling
clubs are in full
swing, very little
idea can be obtained
at the present time
of the extent or of
the enthusiasm with
which the various
sports are indulged
in.

We wish to men-
tion, V)efore closing,
the Jacques Cartier Hotel, situated on the square of that name. It
is in the very heart of the city, and commends itself to the travelling
public as a resort where comfort may be had at reasonable rates.
The hotel is conducted both on the American and European plan.

From Montreal the tourist can make many charming ex-
cursions.

To any one desirous of spending a pleasant week on the water,
and at the same time visit a few of the largest cities and towns in
Canada, the trip from Montreal to Hamilton, and return, has no
equal. The splendid steel .steamer " Hamilton" leaves her wharf,
in the Canal basin, foot of McGill street, every Thursday afternoon,
at four o'clock, returning to Montreal the following Wednesday.
Sunday is spent in the "ambitious city" of Hamilton, which is
situated at the extreme western end oi Lake Ontario. A very
pleasant day can be spent here ; the hotel accommodation is first-
class. The New Royal Hotel is, without doubt, the handsomest
and best built hotel in the city. It has been renovated and newly
decorated and fitted up this year, and is now one of the finest hotels
in Canada. Messrs. Patterson ^: Paisley are the proprietors, which
in itself is a recommendation for good service and all that may be
desired in a modern hotel.

One of the fine.st trips which the Province of Ontario affords is
one through the grand .scenery and magnificent vistas of th:it great
ea.stern arm of Lake Huron, the Georgian Hay. It is estimated that
there are more than thirty thousand islands of every description
lying in this great water expanse. It is not only the scenery, fish-
ing and other sporting attractions that entice tourists to these parts,
but good hotel acconnnodation, where travellers anci summer resort-
ers may find all that is desired in a first-class and up-to-date hotel.
Among the best hotel properties in the Georgian Hay district are
Canada's great summer hotel, the Penetanguishene, which is beau-
tifully situated on the Georgian Hay, at Penetang ; the Sans Souci,
at the mouth of the Moon River, and the Belvidere, at Parry .Sound.
The Penetanguishene accommodates about three hiv.'.dred guests, is
electric lighted, steam heated, and has all the modern improvements.
Good boating, bathing and fishing is enjoyed here. The vSans .Souci
is on the steamer route, the mail boat calling here twice daily. It
is in the centre of the greatest fishing and hunting grounds in the
Georgian Bay district, with black bass and maskinonge in abund-
ance. The Belvidere, at Parry Sound, is situated on a high emin-
ence overlooking the waters of the .sound, and is an ideal spot for
the tourist. The hotel is newly fitted up, and everything has been
done to make it first-class in every respect.

To those who have leisure at their di.spo.sal. we would suggest a
visit to the capital of the Dominion, the city of Ottawa. The capital
is beautifully situated on the banks of the Ottawa River, and may

be reached from Montreal by the Canada Atlantic and

wherebv the hardships of the himberuian's life, for a few exciting

moments, becomes the at-

- - _ tractive sport of venture-

some seekers of strange
thrills.

The descent of the slides
is a feature so peculiar to
the city, that all her illus-
trious visitors have been
introduced to its charms, as
a matter of course, and have
thereby been initiated into
the craft of the raftsman. Apart from the various scenes connected
with the lumbering industry, the principal feature of the city is the
Parliament and Departmental buildings. The first stone of these
handsome buildings, which cover an area of over four acres, was
laid by the Prince of Wales, in i860.

The buildings form three sides of a huge square, which is laid
down in grass, beautifully kept, whose fre.sh 'green surface, crossed
by broad paths, stands above the level of Wellington street, from
which it is separated by a handsome railing.

Rising above this square, on a stone ^terrace, the central block,
with a massive tower two hundred and twenty feet high in the
centre, faces the square. This building contains the two Chambers ;
one for the Senate and the
other for the Commons. Be-
hind the Chambers is situ-
ated the Parliamentary
Library, a building of ex-
ceptional architectural
grace. It is fitted with
every convenience, and is
admirably arranged for
reading purposes. The col-
lection of the library is

three blocl of the Parliament buildings is a broad drive, and at the
sides and in tlie rear ot the Lii)rary the grounds are laid out in
well-planted beds, with great stretches of green lawn overlooking
the cliffs. From here a commanding view is obtained of the ( )ttawa

River. The drives in the vicinity'
of Ottawa are charming. About two
miles from the city is Rideau
Hall, the residence of
the Ciovernor-General.
The cily is up-to-
date in every way, it
has an excellent elec-
tric railway system and .several
first-class hotels.
The Russell Hotel is one that has become known throughout the
world. It is the leading hotel in the city of Ottawa, and .statesmen
and prominent men from all parts make it their home while in the
city. The appointments and internal arrangements are modern and
up-to-date, and comfort, witli unsurpassed service, is assured to all
its patrons.

The Gilmonr, a comparatively new hotel, has been well furnished,
and is under able management. The eiiisiiie is all that can be desired,
and nothing is left undone for the comfort of the guests.

The Grand Union is another hotel that is reconmiended. Large
airy rooms, with good attendance and all modern conveniences.
Rates moderate.

The Windsor, .situated in a central part of the city, is patronized
by members of Parliament and prominent men of Canada. It is
attractively decorated and
furni.shed, and is run, under
experienced hotel managers,
in a manner ihat pleases all
who stop at this hostelry.

Another enjoyable trip
can be made from Montreal,
via the Delaware & Hudson
Railway, to Saratoga and
Albany. This trip brings
the tourist along the beau-
tiful shores of Lake Cham-

plain past the pahitial Motel Cliamplain. at HlufT Point, where a
very deliKlitful stoj) can he nuuie, and on to vSaratoga, which, with
its immense hotels and liandsome private residences, its beautiful
shaded promenades and honlevards, its nia^niificent parks and pheno-
menal mineral springs, its brilliant social and literary entertainments,

Driiikini; tlie Walt-is at Congress S]«tin.i;. Sar;itoi;a, N.V.

enjoys a greater distinction tlian any other watering place on the
American continent, and annnally attracts a host of visitors from
ev-ery country of the civili/ed world to contribute to its gayety.
Representatives of the most diverse nationalities may be seen sipping
the crystal medicinal waters, side by side, while on the broad piazzas
all languages are spoken. Its various mineral water ". are known all
over the world. Prominent among these may be mentioned the
Congre.ss vSpring Water. This famous water being now (by a most
elaborate retubing) restored to all its former strength and excel-
lence, the great mineral-water-drinking public might have been seen,
the pa.st season at vSaratoga, hurrying to slake their thirst at this
healthful fountain. While the water is now as strongly cathartic as
at any period since its discovery — over one hundred years ago — it
still retains the delicious flavor and smooth cathartic action that has
always been its characteristic.

The golf links in connection with the hotel are the finest in the
country. The .season commences about June 15th, and closes the
early part of October.

As to hotel accommodation, Siratoga is unsurpassed on the con-
tinent. Pre-eminent stands the United Slates, one of the finest and
l)est known summer hotels in the world, with accommodation for
fifteen hundred guests.

Saratoga po.s.sesses charms peculiarly its own, and those who
have been there can readily under.stand the expression, "There is
but one Saratoga."

From vSaratoga to Albany is a .short run of thirty-nine miles, and
from there a network of railways and steamboat lines give the tourist
a choice of routes. The Hotel Kenmore, in Albany, is a really fine
house, conveniently situated and with all modern improvements.

Among the most needed additions to the city of Albany, X.Y.,
which 1899 has brought forth is the new Hotel Ten Ivyck. The
structure is the highest building in the city, and is a monument to
the enterprising citizens who have secured for Albany a modern
first-class hotel. The hotel is under the management of Messrs.
H. J. Rockwell tS: Son, and is conducted on both the American and
European plan.

The Hotel Empire, corner of Boulevard and vSixty-third street,
New York city, is a modern first-cla.ss, fire-proof hotel, conducted
under practical management, for the accommodation of tho.se who
want the best at a reasonable cost. The e/i/c of travellers and tour-
ists from all parts of the world make this hotel their headquarters
while in New York. It is also famous for the perfection of its
cuisine and service, its artistic and home-like appointments, and the

Street cars runninj{ to all parts of the city pass the door.

The I'liller Company of i>etroit, Mich., is one of the leading

electrical supply concerns

in .America, and its business extends to

all paits of the country. The finest and best pa.ssenstr steamers

'riie Kfiimorf Alhimy, N.Y

plying the Great Lakes and the River St. Lawrence are equipped
with the Fuller dynamos, and the ship signal apparatus furnished
by this concern is the one most approved of b}' the steamboat com-
panies, and one which is most extensively used. Steel plate blowers
for forced draft motors, fans, etc.. are specialties manufactured by
the Fuller Company, and recognized as second to none in the market.
The IJominion Atlantic Railway's .service during the coming
summer i)etween Boston. Halifax and St. John, N.B., by means of
its unrivalled fleet of steamships, and its IHiUman palace car " Flying
Bluenose " express, will sujiply the only route worthy of patronage.
It will give the maximum of pleasure at a minimum cost, and will
give hundreds of thousands a readily available opportunity of spend-

anil what more flelightful trip can be imagined than by this excellent
.service? Ivffective care has been taken for the safety of these .ships,
and the latest and most approved devices ha\e been placed on these
boats, including search-lights and Hatfield's steering-gear, which is
only found on battleships and crui.sers. Ivach vessel is able to sleep
three hundred and eighty two passengers.

A direct fortnightly steamshij) service between Halifax, X.S.,
and London, ICng., and between Halifax and Liverpool, <'/</ vSt.
John's, Xfld., will be operated this summer by the well-known and
popular Fnrness lines. I'^ast, full-powered, high-cla.ss, Clyde-built
steamships have been placed on these routes, and a quick service,
with every comfort, is assured pas.sengers by this line. Steamers
will sail from Halifax to London every alternate Thursday, and from
Halifax to Liverpool every alternate Wednesday, the steamships on
the latter route calling at St. John's, Xfld. The rates of pa.ssage
between Halifax and London range from is45.oo to $60.00, and from
Halifax to Liverpool from 545.00 to $50.00, according to location.
