 Churches, Convents, Colleges. Charitable In- 
 stitutions, all of which are referred to in detail 
 in the following pages, there are several Es- 
 tablishments in this City to visit, which would 
 well repay the business man, the lover of 
 science, and the friend of progress. Amonjrst 
 those are the City Gas Works, Water Works, 
 Goulds extensive Mills, Hudon's Cotton 
 I^actory, Redpath's Sugar Factory, the Natu- 
 ral History Society's Museum, the Mechanics' 
 Institute, the Mercantile Library, and the 
 Geological Museum. 
 
 The Hotel accommodation may be said to 
 be respectable in extent and quality, the 
 principal establishments being the St Law- 
 rence Hall, the Ottawa, the Albion and the 
 Montreal House ; but a grand enterprise in 
 this line IS now being realized by the con- 
 struction of the Windsor Hotel, in a fashion, 
 able and otherwise most desirable locality 
 at the very base of the Mountain. This 
 building, in the Italian style of architecture 
 will be 250 feet square, with a tower on the 
 I eel and Dorchester Street corner. From the 
 sidewalk to the top of the balustrade, which 
 will surmount the roof of the building pro- 
 per, the height will be 100 feet, and to the 
 top of the tower 140. The several fronts

 sand guests. The dining-room will be on the 
 second story — dimensions, 132x52 feet; the 
 ladies' ordinary or dining-room will be 56x42. 
 Leading to the large dining-room will be a 
 nice passage 112x30, divided by a row of 
 columns. In this will be an alcove for a 
 band, and here guests will promenade in the 
 evening. The rooms are all of good size and 
 well lighted, a wide court giving light to the 
 inner rows. There will be a number of suites 
 of rooms, each furnished with a bath, ward- 
 robe, &c. ; also a stylish bridal suite. Guests 
 will be conveyed to the differetit flats by 
 elevators ; but for elderly people and others 
 who do not care to t^e located up-stairs, there 
 will be plenty of rooms on the office-flat. The 
 Hotel will be heated with steam throughout. 
 The system of communication will be by 
 electric bells to an office, whence a clerk 
 will conv- y the orders to the several depart- 
 ments. It is stated on authority that the 
 appointments of the Windsor will be equal, if 
 not superior, to any Hotel on the continent ; 
 and that it will be fully completed during 
 1876, at a cost of not less than half a million 
 dollars.

 It would be simply improper to close this

 Victoria Bridge, spanning the St. Lawrence 
 from the western extremity of the City. The 
 cost of this tubular wonder was not less than 
 Eight Millions of Dollars. There are 
 25,000 tons of stone, and 7,500 tons of iron 
 embedded in it ; the contents of its masonry 
 are three millions of cubic feet, and its total 
 length from bank to bank is 10,284 feet, or 
 about 50 yards less than two English miles.

 HAND-GUIDE. 
 
 AN ADVICE TO THE STRANGER. 
 
 In arriving in Montreal, the visitor 
 should by all means get the Hand-Guide and 
 Map of the City, in which he will find carters' 
 tariff, and rates of money. Be sure also and 
 get your American paper exchanged for 
 Canadian, as some stores would take that 
 advantage of charging you double for any 
 goods you might purchase. Also, to prevent 
 this, we give you in this book a list of the 
 principal stores where you will be certain to 
 get the value of your money. We advertise 
 none but those we can strongly recommend.

 PARISH GHURCiToF VILLE-MARIE. 
 
 CATHEDRAL OF MONTREAL. 
 
 Generally, but improperly, called by British 
 residents the French Cathedral — is, in point 
 of dimensions and area, the pride of Montreal. 
 Thf great towers seen from afar off bear no 
 inconsiderable resemblance to that of Notre 
 Dame on the banks of the Seine. The cor- 
 ner stone of the edifice, which is built in the 
 perpendicular gothic style of the middle ages, 
 was laid on the 3rd September, 1824, and it 
 was opened for public worship in 1829. It 
 was originally intended to make it much 
 larger that it is at present The height of 
 the towers is 220 feet ; the rear window at 
 the high altar, which is filled with beautiful 
 stained glass, is 64 feet high and 33 feet wide. 
 The Church is capable of accommodating over 
 seven thousand persons. In the north-east 
 tower is a fine chime of bells, and in the 
 north-west tower is placed the largest bell in 
 America, cast expressly for this Church and 
 weighing 29,400 lbs. ; its sound is very re- 
 markable. This tower is open to the public for 
 
 top a splendic

 the River St Lawrence, the Island of Mont- 
 real, St. Helen's Island, Victoria Bridge, and 
 the surrounding country, is presented. This 
 Church is now undergoing repairs which will 
 not cost less than $50,000, to make it the 
 finest church on the Continent of America. 
 
 CHlfKCH OF THE GESU, 
 
 situated on Bleury Street, is, in the opinion 
 of many, the most beautiful Church edifice 
 in America. The style of architecture is the 
 Round Roman Arch; it is 194 feet long, and 
 96 wide, but at the transept the transversal 
 nave is 144 feet long. The height of the two 
 naves is 75 feet. The Gesu forms a perfect 
 cross. The head of the cross is formed by 
 the sanctuary. The interior is frescoed in 
 the most elaborate manner. Over the hi^h 
 altar IS a beautiful fresco representing the 
 Crucifixion of Our Lord. Higher up the 
 centre piece is a scene from the Apocalypse. 
 On the ceiling of the sanctuary the Shepherds 
 are seen adoring the new-born Savior 
 There are also in the Church several very 
 fine paintings. The Church of the Gesu is 
 attached to St. Mary's College, and both be- 
 long to the Jesuit Fathers. 
 
ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH 
 
 Stands on an elevated site at the corner of 
 St. Alexander and Lagauchetiere Streets, and 
 is one of the most striking objects visible on 
 approaching the City. This large and com- 
 manding building is in gothic style of archi- 
 tecture ; the length is 240 feet by 90 feet in 
 breadth ; the spire is 225 feet high. The in- 
 terior is comfortably and handsomely fitted 
 up, with room for over 5000 worshippers. 
 Taken altogether, this is a splendid model of 
 ecclesiastical architecture.

 ST. ANN'S CHURCH, 
 
 on McCord Street, at the junction with 
 Basin Street, is a handsome stone building in 
 the gothic style of architecture, and will seat 
 about 1,500 persons. 
 
 ST. JAMES' CHURCH. 
 
 This handsome building is situated on St. 
 Denis Street. Erected on the ruins of the 
 one destroyed by the fire of 1852, known as 
 the Bishop's Church, which was of the Roman 
 Ionic style, but altered in form and extended 
 in length, is now built after the most admired 
 specimens of the early pointed style ; it is a 
 fine example of what is sometimes called 
 Christian architecture. The windows are of 
 stained glass. 
 
 THE CANADIAN ST. PETER. 
 
 There is now in course of erection a 
 Cathedral uneqaalled on the Continent, for 
 size and imposing appearance. In 1852, the 
 old Cathedral and Episcopal Palace which for 
 so long had stood on St. Denis Street, were 
 destroyed by fire. Shortly after, a Parish 
 Church was built on the old site in the East 
 End, and the Bishop removed to new and

 roomy quarters in the large and plain-look- 
 ing brick mansion on Palace Street, which he 
 now occupies. A few years later, by the pur- 
 chase of a portion of the estate of the late 
 Jacob de Witt, and a section of ground from 
 the Fabrique of the Parish of Notre Dame, 
 used as a cemetery, Bishop Bourget had 
 under control a large block of land in an 
 elevated position, situated in the West End, 
 adjoining his Palace, and very suitable for 
 the erection of a giant Cathedral. He shaped 
 his plans accordingly, and the Catholics in his 
 diocese, gradually becoming wealthy, afforded 
 him an opportunity to indulge in the ambi- 
 tious project of erecting an edifice which 
 would rival the New York Cathedral in size 
 and magnificence, and surpass all others in 
 America. The Cathedral is being erected 
 in the form of a cross, 300 feet in length 
 from the grand entrance to the back of 
 the nave, while its breadth, or length of the 
 transept, is 225 feet. The length of the 
 building will be further increased by a portico 
 30 feet in width. The average height of the 
 walls will be 30 feet. Those to support the 
 roof of the nave will have to go forty feet 
 higher, with an additional elevation of 66 
 feet under ^the great dome. Thus the ex- j 
 treme height of the masonry from the floor j 
 
1 
 
 1 
 
 will be 138 feet. The roof, which is to be of 
 galvanized iron, will not be modelled after 
 that of St. Peter's, for though at Rome the 
 climate admits of a flat roof, it is otherwise 
 in Canada. The large dortie will be the 
 handsomest part of the Cathedral ; it will be 
 an exact copy on a smaller scale of the 
 mighty dome of St. Peter's, and when com- 
 pleted will be 250 feet in height, 46 feet higher 
 than the towers of the French Church in the 
 Place d'Armes. The front entrance will be 
 on Dorchester Street, and there will be no 
 colonade by which to approach the edifice, 
 as at St. Peter's, Rome ; but the grounds are 
 to be ornamented with fountains. &c. 
 
 NOTRE DAMK DE LOURDES. 
 
 This fine and new Church, not yet com- 
 pleted, is situated on St. Catherine Street, in 
 the east part of the City. It is also an orna- 
 ment to the many Catholic institutions, and 
 no visiter should fail to visit this fine edifice.

 PROTESTANT CHURCHES. 
 
 CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL ' 
 
 is situated on St. Catherine Street, corner 
 of University ; is a beautiful edifice in the 
 Mediaeval gothic style. The plan is cruci- 
 form, and is indeed a model of ecclesiastical 
 style. The tower and spire, the latter of 
 which is well proportioned and springs grace- 
 fully from the former, are the intersection of 
 the four arms of the cross, and measure 224 
 feet in height. The Church is built of Caen 
 stone and Montreal limestone. Length of 
 building inside, 187 feet; width of )i:we, 70 
 feet ; transept including tower, 99 feet. The 
 upper stage of the tower contains a peal of 
 bells, and the clocks are placed immediately 
 above the corbel-table. The windows are 
 good and copied from the best Mediaeval 
 English Churches. The front entrance is 
 beautifully designed ; in fact, the building is 
 unequalled on this Continent. 
 
 ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH (Episcopal) 
 
 is situated on St. Fran9ois de Salles and St. 
 Janvier Streets. The material of the building 
 is Montreal stone. The massive gothic 
 entrance, attractive and beautiful, though 
 
 111 
 
 mH 
 
without any profusion of ornaiticnt, with the 
 modest symbols of Church and Crown, 
 strong in their inherent right, is an excellent 
 vestibule to a Church which bears the same 
 of England's Patron Saint. The window 
 tracery and chancel decoration are very taste- 
 ful. The transepts are 45 feet in length by 
 24 feet deep ; the chancel and choir together 
 are 46 feet deep. The gas pendants are 
 of singularly beautiful workmanship ; there 
 are ten, five on each side, beside the one in 
 front 0/ the chancel. The utmost intelligence 
 and foresight have been expended on every 
 detail of this fine church. 
 
 TRINITY <"HUROH (Episcopal) 
 
 is a very elegant building situated on the 
 north-west corner of Viger Square and St. 
 Denis Street ; is of the early English Gothic 
 style of architecture, and is built entirely of 
 Montreal stone. The building is 167 feet in 
 length, by y^ in breadth, including the tower 
 and chancel. Total height of tower and 
 spire, 168 feet. The church will seat 1,250.

 whites by the Iroquois Indians, in the ye;- 
 1669, when over two hundred persons were 
 burned alive. Caughnawaga, an Indian vil-

Its total length between the abutments is 
 6,600 feet, or a mile and a quarter. The 
 bridge IS approached by massive embank- 
 ments the one on the Montreal side beino- 
 1,200 feet, and that on the south shore 800 
 feet m length, which together, including the 
 abutments, makes the total length of the 
 I bridge 9,084 feeet, or nearly a mile and 
 i three-quarters. 
 
 j The cost of this gigantic structure was 
 *6,300,ooo. In its erection 250,000 tons of 
 stone, and 8,000 tons of iron have been used 
 1 he following are the dimensions of the 
 tube through which the trains pass, viz.: in 
 the middle span, 22 feet high, 16 feet wide • 
 at the extreme end, 19 feet high, 16 feet 
 wide ; the height above summer water level 
 in the centre opening is 60 feet, descending 
 to either end at the rate of one in 130 
 
 The foundation stone was laid on the 22nd 
 July, 1854, and the bridge was completed in 
 I860. It is used only for railway transit. 
 iNo train is allowed to enter the bridge with- 
 out a written permit from the proper officer, 
 thus insuring exemption of collision or acci- 
 dent ; the passage occupies about six minutes, 
 though seeming much longer to the passen- 
 ger, as it is somewhat cheerless. The river 
 eneath t..e bridge has a swift current, and 
 
IF 
 
 m 
 
 the piers are calculated to withstand immense 
 pressure from descending masses of ice. 
 
 NELSON'S MONUMENT. 
 
 This ornament, erected in the memory of 
 tlie hero of Trafalgar, stands in Jacques 
 Cartier Square. The foundation was laid on 
 the 17th of August, 1808. 
 
 A point of interest to visitors is Mr. Parks' 
 Photographic Studio on St. James Street, 
 withm a few paces from the Hotel. Mr.' 
 Parks has gained a reputation for excellence 
 of workmanship and for his reasonable 
 charges, and the superiority of his pictures is 
 clearly demonstrated by the fact that he holds 
 several first-class prizes taken by him at the 
 prmcipal PZxhibitions in Canada. Should the 
 tourist desire to carry away, as souvenirs of 
 his visit, either a portrait of himself or a col-

 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 
 
 THE COURT HOUSE. 
 
 This building, situated on Notre Dame 
 Street, is after the Grecian style of architec- 
 ture, and is, in its unpretending and massive 
 grandeur, second to few buildings in the city. 
 The most striking feature is its large Ionic 
 portico and the bold projection of the pedi- 
 ment, which gives the central portion of the 
 principal front a very noble appearance. 
 There is now in course of erection a new 
 Court House, which will be called City Hall 
 and which, it is said, will be the finest build- 
 ing in Montreal, perhaps in America.

 VICTORIA 8KAT1XG IIINK. 
 
 Skating is one of the most popular of the 
 amusements pursued by the citizens of Mont- 
 real during the winter season. While the 
 river St. Lawrence furnishes room for all who 
 may desire to practice the art, still the violent 
 storms often prevent its being practiced in 
 exposed places. 
 
 To provide against this, several private 
 rinks have been erected, the principal one 
 being that known as the Victoria Rink. 
 
 The building is 250 feet long by 100 
 broad, is built of brick and covered by a 
 semi-circular arch-like Voof fifty feet high in 
 the centre. The space used for skating is
