I TOBOGGANING. ■■■ Until some one invent* wings, you cannot better realize the delight of flying than by indulging in this splendid pastime. Montreal goes mad every winter about this sport, and the madness is contagious. Not only are the natural hills well patronized, but within the last two years artificial slides; such as are used in Kussia, have become popular ; so that those who live on a prairie can toboggan as well as those who live on a mountain. Of all our sports this is the one in which ladies and even people up in years can participate, and, under a good guide, with perfect safety. Our American cousins will find the club members only too anxious to give them many and pleasant opportunities to enjoy this exhilarating pastime. The fact of being a stranger come to see the Carnival will ensure every possible hos- pitality and kindness.

Lacrosse, the summer out-door " national game of Canada," as well as snow-shoeing and tobogganing, owe their origin to tLe Red-skin. There is no field sport whose history has been more thrilling, and whose popularity has been more wide-pread, than Lacrosse, the old " baggataway " of the Objiway. After seeing it played at the carniyal we recommend our friends to read Parkman's ''Conspiracy ofPon- tiac " to learn the part it was made to play in the past history of this continent. The peculiar features of the game are that any number can play it at once ; every player has his "innings" at the same time: its wonderful variety and beauty fas- cinate the looker-on beyond comparison with any field sport in the world. The annual contests for the championship are the most exciting events of our summer season. It is usually played by twelve men on a side. Each side has a goal of two flags six feet apart, at about 150 yards distance, one from the other. The game is begun in the centre of the field, and the object of each side is to throw the ball into the goal of the opposing party. It is, without doubt", the most fascinating of all field sports. 14 IPECIAL NOTICE TO VISITOBS VISITINa THE CARNIVAL AT MONTREAL IN 1884.

FOE DESCRIPTION, /Si!e next naae. t If ~ - 39 SKATING. h> i h .''Is- m< m When you have gazed upon the Ice Palace, whether reflecting the rays of the sun, moon or lesser constellations, or spark h'ng with the myriad scintillations which their great earthly rival, Elec- tricity, can conjure from its glacial angles and prisms, in a wondrous play of colors, you may be even more electrified by a visit to the skater's kaleidoscope, the Victoria Eink, during a Fancy Dress Carnival. The Arabian Nights are not a circumstance to our Canadian Nights on the ice. The rink becomes en- chanted. What fairy land of fancy can surpass this tout ensemblt of fact, with its beautiful blending of motley costumes and characters, living, moving, laughing pictures — a perfect melody of color, more like an Eastern fable than a foreigner's conception of a Canadian winter's night. Of course the Skating Rink is more than a mere field of ice inclosed, where the poetry of motion is seen in perfection, — it has become a sociable club for both sexeSj where they may meet and enjoy a chat, etc., as well as a skate; where the nerves and sinews of the robust lad and tender maiden are strengthened and developed, and their forms made pliant and graceful ; a club, where all ages can meet in enjoyment and friendly rivalry, and the wearied to'ler from the office, as well as the fretted house- W fe, can gather relaxation and obtain that greatest of all boons to mankind^a good digestion. 40 Photographic Studio, 195J ST.

Montreal's oldest curling club was 77 years old on the 22nd of January, and never, since its organiza- tion, have curlers been lacking to keep this fine iScotch game *' a-boiling." In addition to its enjoy- ment out-doors, many clubs possess substantial rinks in-door?, which enable them to inH,ulge in the game in every kind of weather. It is a matter of pride and satisfaction to Canadian curlers that of the clubs in existence in all parts of the globe, the Montreal ties with the Barrhead. Eenfre vshire, i?cotland, for se- cond place. Wherever Englishmen go, they instinctively look out for a good cricket crease, and, in the same way, the Scotchman picks out a good clean nook for curling. A good description of the game, as it strikes an uninitiated observer, is that given by the French habitant after witnessing it for \he first time. Translated from the vernacular, his description was, that <' he had seen a gang of Scotchmen throwing on the ice large iron balls, shaped like bombshells, after which they yelled 80Mp/ soup/ laughing like fools," to which ho added, "and I really think they were fools." In Canada the sons of Scotia have made curling one of the finest winter pastimes. In fact, long before any other winter sport had any sort of organization, Canada had her regular curling clubs; and every winter saw the enthusiastic players stealing away to their rinks. "Out flee the lads, to draw, inwick and strike, J^rae plough, counter, desk, bar and pulpit." 60 irs old ^atiiza- is fine enjoy. rinks game de and libs in %\ ties for se- Jtively same ok for as it >y the b time. 1 was, ing on , after fools," were made n fact, ^ sort urling siastic EAGLE FOUNDRY. 14 TO 34 KING AND QUEEN STREETS, MAKER OF Steam Engines, Steam Boilers, Hoisting Engines, Steam Pumps, Circular Saw Mills, Bark Mills, Shingle Mills, Water Wheels, Mill (bearing, Shafting, Hangers and PuUies, Hand and Power Hoists for Warehouses, &c.

While visiting your city during Carnival season, I had occasion to patronize a laundry, and on my way down town, I, by chance, dropped into your place. In a few davs I received my pirre), and much to my surprise found the best laundried linen I ever saw I had always thought we had good city, and even the Troy, laun- dries to boast of, but yours beats them all. Mor.trealers certainly ought to feel proud of such an establish- ment, tor of all ihmgs th.U a man pays out his m.oney for with pleasure it is when he gets a good, clean-washed and nicely- laundned linen. ^ Wishing you every success in your undertaking, I remain, respectfully yours, R.

When we were schoolboys, there was a story among us of a Sailor and an Eastern King. The former had been wrecked on a coast where they had perpetual summer ; and, when brought before the hot- headed and sun-burned potentate, was giving an account of his travels. When the sailor beiran his yarns of snow-storms and icebergs His Majesty became incredulous, and his incredulty g-rew into royal wrath. At last, Jack gave a vivid deHcnption of how the rivers were frozen so thick that they bore the weight of great merchandise and multitudes. This seemed too much to bear, so poor Jack's head was cut off, to prevent his tongue taking any more liberties with Royalt3^ How His Majesty would stand aghast in wonder, were he alive to-day, and should bo transported from the Tropics to the broad St. Lawrence, and watch a locomotive and tender weighing over 50,000 lbs., with cars weighing 100 tons each, crossing the frozen St. Lawrence to Longueuil, opposite Montreal. On the 30th of January, 1880, a light engine first crossed the ice at that point and returned in safety The train consisted of two ordinary platform cars of about 80 tons, each carrying 250 guests, moving at the rate of about 10 miles an hour. No jolting was felt upon the iron rails laid upon wooden sleepers frozen into position. 62 GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK AGAIN. »« Welcome Jonathan, we are extremely glad to have you at our Carnival. You are not afraid, ap- parently, to join in our athletic sports once again. *« That's right; we will soon make a healthy Canadian of you I Yes, and we are awfully pleased to see so many of your fair ladies with you,^ and hope that thoy will heartily enjoy themselves." u Why, yes, ever since my last visit, and in spite of the recollection of bruises, I have longed to see one of your beautiful Canadian winters again ; and, after several winters spent in the Tropics, I am per- fectly converted to the value of a Canadian winter for health, as well as novel, exhilarating pleasure. ''Thank you, Jonathan, for speaking of our dear old Canada from an unprejudiced point of view Remember that we have a great many additional attractions to oifer you this Carnival, and we hope that you will carry away with you the brightest re- collections of the Montreal Carnival of 1884. *' Good bye, old fellow, au revoir, until the Carnival of 1885, but not adieu" 63 / / /i H.
