It is distant from Montreal, the head of ocean naviga- tion 126 miles, from Kingston at the foot of the Great Lakes, 95 miles and from the frontier towns of Prescott and Brockville 54 and 74 miles respec- tivol}'. It owes its first settlement to the construc- tion of the Kideau Canal, a work undertaken by tho British Government, in 1827, to secure inland communication between Montreal and I^ako Ontario in case of War with the United States, liound the canal, a village soon sprung up called Bytown, after the officer in charge of the works Col. Bye, and by which nameit continuea to be known till 1854, when it was incorporated as a City, under the name of Ottawa. The Eiver Ottawa, after which it is called, takes its rise near the height of land south of Hudson's Bay and joins the St. Lawrence close to tho City of Montreal, draining during its course of 750 miles, an area of 80,000 square miles, of w^hich territory Ottawa is com mercial centre. The presen t visitor who would rightly appreciate tho progress made by the young city, must bear in mind that ^' fF"" iv 'i ! HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. fifty yeans ago, its sito was a virgin forest, the greater portion of it the property of a Mr. Sjjarks, who took it in payme t of a debt of $200 and thought himself ill used in the bargain. Its present popu- lation is about 30,000, that of its adjacent suberbs New Edinburgh and Eochesterville. about 3,000 and the City of Hull, first incorporated on the other bank of the Ottawa, between fi,000 and 8,000. No City on the North American Continent, perhaps possesses greater advantages than have fallen to the lot of Ottawa, the scenery by which it is surrounded is unsurpassed in beauty, its streets are regular and spacious, it stands the political centre of the half of the continent, the centre of a territory teeming with natural resources to which itc political importance attract unusual attention ; ch'ei amon^* the attractions for strangers visiting the Capital, are the Governmental Buildings, which stand upon a noble bluff overlooking the Ottawa, 150 feet above the water line, containing an area some 25 acres in extent. THE PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS. The Parliament or Main Building faces Wellington street, a splendid boulevard 100 feet in width, the Departmental Buildings to the right i I HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. and loft, fueing onward, forming three sides of a rj^nadrangle. The style of the whole is gothic of the 12th century, with modifications to suit the climate of Canada. The stone principally used in their construction is a croam-colored sandstone, of the Potsdam formation, soft in appearance hut very hard in texture, which is found in the adiacent Township of Xepean. The dressings are chiefly of Ohio stone, which, with the red Potsdam sandstone, used for arches to the windows, produces a rich and pleasing effect. The Central Building, as seen from Wellington street, presents a most imposing appear- ance; a central tower, nearly 2 M) feet in height, surmounted by a crown-shaped cap and flagstaf,' of excellent proportion and rich design, projects in front of the building. The body of the structure in front is liO feet in height, surmounted by a truncated roof of blue and green slate, and crowned with iron railings of blue, picked out with gold. The build- ing covers an area of 82,880 feet, having a main length of 4^2 feet, and a depth from the front of the tower to the rear of the library of 5Y0 feet. The main entrance is under the central tower, the spacious arches of which admit the largest cannages. The piers which support this m.assive work are ornamented with polished Arnprior marble J ■Ifl Jl.J m K JJ J liM U>l>J li;i »' ' j^ j-! .-•'S HAND GUIDE TO OTTAAVA. and ricMy cut sandstone. Passing through this we enter a large vestibule supported on sandstone columns, with spacious stairways leading to the chavabers and offices of the Senate and the House ofComJions. Ascendin^j to the left we come to the main loby of the (Commons, a handsome hall supported by pillars of polished marble, and hung with oil portraits of former Speakers of the nouse. The chamber itself measures 82 feot by 45, with a height of 50 feet. The ceiling is open, with handsomely carved rafters, filled in with glass, above which large skylights admit a soft light to the room. The galleries for the use of the public, the press, etc., surround the entire chamber, but are thrown back from it, arches in front of them being supported by clu^^tered columns of Portage du-Forfc and Arnprior Marble, They are capable of accommodating 1,000 people. At the back of them are a series of mullioned Avin-^ dows filled with okborate designs in stained glass. Passing down the long corridors, committee and clerks' rooms are found on either side. Close to the Commons Chamber, but cut off from the public, is tfc reading ror>m, and further on i.i the same cor- ridor are found the Speaker's appartments and the entrance to the refreshment rooms, which are in the W 'J-PPIM. § this tone the ouse le to hall and I •8 of I foot i i iling i filled I dmit the the 1 it, «red rble, jple.

Following the paasago way in rear of the chambers the picture gallery is next entered, a room at present devoted to the library. It is admirably adapted for its original purpose, but altogether too small for its present use. Leaving the library hy the east door, visitor^ find themselves in rear of the Senate Chamber, a counterpart of tho House of Commons. This room, however, contains the throne, a fine statue ot^ Her Majesty, from the chisel of Marshal AYood, and busts of the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alexandra, by the same artist. A visit to the heating apparatus in the base- ment will well repay the visitor. Tho upper story of the building will be found devoted to tho offices of the Legislative employes. EASTERN BLCCK. - *The Eastern Block of the Departmental Buildings is of an irregular shape, but perhaps tho most eleacant in dcsii^n of the three structures. It has a west frontage on the square of 318 feet and a southern frontage on Wellington Street of 253 feet, covering an area of 41,840 teat Its main entrance is through a handsome tower at the north-west angle, and contains, among other offices, those of His Excellency the Governor General and the Privy Council. I lee -am y 6 HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. I tiCSl Ml WESTERN BLOCK. The Western Block, though handsome, is not so imposing in appearance. It has a frontage towards Wellington Street of 27^7 feet, and towards the square 211 feet. It is plainly finished in the interior, and its chief attraction to strangers will be the model room of the Patent Office, which it contains. Close to the south west angle of the grounds will be found the Workshops of the Buildings, where the furniture necessary for them is made and repairs for the electric-bells, heating apparatus, &c., are carried on. They contain several excellent tnachines, attractive to those who take an interest in such matters. LIBRARY. Besides these structures now complete, there i^mains to be noticed the Library proper, nearly finished, and a large addition being made to the Western Block, neeesHitated by the increased business of the Country. The Library, p*,;uated in rear of the Parliament Buildings is a noble structure of circular form, with a diameter of 90 feet; outside of the main room runs an aisle one storey high, which will be divided into a series of retiring rooms, for those wishing a place for quiet study. 1 This work, too long delayed, is now nearly complote and will aftbi*d a suitable recepticle for the Legisla- I tivo collection of works, and for which purpose the present Library is in every wiy unsuited. •' • >jTn * LOVER'S WALK. * jKo visitor to the buildings should leave the gi^ounds without a ramble round the ^' Lover's Walk," a picturesque terraced path encircling the whole cliff face of the hill. The views to bo had fi*om every point of this road are beautiful. Start- ing from Elgin street end the ramblers find them- selves overlooking the eight massive lodes which form the entrance to the Eideau Canal and beyond them the picturesque " Major's Hill" about to be converted into a public park. Passing onwai*d,the waters of the Ottawa come more boldly into vi©w, with tine glimpses of scenery among the hills on the Quebec side of the stream. Reaching the northern point the view is superb, the mighty river crowded with steamers, rafts and barges, rolls swiftly along in whirling eddies to the east ; below the clitfs lay the rafting grounds, with the raftmen buay at their work; opposite the clitf rises the city of Hull, with its ever-going mills, and on either side of the impetuous current, acre upon acre of lumber piles crowd the water's edge. Further up I -,- I- 8 HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 4 the stream rino^ the spray of the Chaiidicre Fallp, crossed by the fairy- like tracery of the Union Sus- pension Bridge, and beyond the cataract the broad river glisten.s, studded with islands, as it rushe:^ through the rapids of Duchesne.

The whole body of the water, after passing through nine miles of rapids, suddenly contracts its channel and ruslies over a fall forty feet in height, into a narrow chasm fitly called the Big Kettle. Above the falls^ the river is studded with picturesque islands, but one below has had to give place to the requirements of navi- gation. To see these falls in their grandeur, they should be visited in June, when the great northern floods swell the torrent to its fullest, and the waters leave the Big Kettle churned to milk-white foam. Clope to this place exists another natural curiosity, known as the Devil's Hole, a chasm into which several small streaais enter, but which has no visible outlet, and is supposed to connect with the river below the falls, by a subterranean cliannel. Here too may be seen those curious excavations, called borers, deep holes, bored in the solid rock, with sides smooth as polished marble and, one round boulder at the bottom of each. These are generally supposed to have been formed by the bouldere getting into strong eddies and twisting round, wear their way into the bottom rock. ^« -^ .^^ - ---^ Many years ago, before the march of industry •Hftt f ri t fti i im'r^^n , ^ n # m, '-■ ; ' '' >';' W^ -' i»* *j«i * t ''' ^^ ' a^ K t' k '^g J ' i rr ^ *^" I I- W: 1^ m T. made its way into tho immodiato vicinity of the Chaudicre, the Falls wore really magnificent. Even now, when the hum and clatter of tho mills are heard above the whirl and tumult of the waters, thoj^ are still sufficiently grand to ensure the ad- miration of the lovers of art and poetry, who oc caaionally make special pilgrimages tollieir shrino. But in the hey-dcy of their beauty, before their natural surroundings had been intruded upon, they were far more sacred, and a thousand. fold lovelier, to the eye of the painter and the poet, than they can ever be again. Very few, however, ever cotue to Ottawa, without paying at least a flying visit to the Chaudiere. Sawyer, one of our most eminent portrait painters, was fortunate enough to transfer ^he Falls to his canvass many years ^ince; and Charles Sangster and Evan McColl have both con- tributed to their praise in pleasing verso, of which the following is a specimen : — j^'fji* ;...b(:lv> ^.r^T. ^^ ^jjj, CHAUDIERE. fiy_ " Demon of Turbulence !

While in this vicinity, the visitor will not fail to visit the Lumber Mills, which occupy every spot of available space round about. They are the largest establish m en ts of the kind in the world and fitted up with the beat machinery ; much of it most ingenious in constmctvon and designed specially for them. In a limited space it would be impossible to enumerate the points of interests about these establishments, but the following facts connected the mammoth works of Mr. K. B. Eddj^, may prove of intx)rest. Mr. Ekldy came a poor man to this neighbourhood 22 yeskVH ago, and in a small way began the Manufticture of Matches, watching liis opportunities, he from time to time extended his operations, till now his mills, factories and piling grounds cover over a mile square of ground. Besides his match factory, he has in operation two saw^ millj, a pail factory, tub factory, wash-board factory and sash, door and blind factory. In the match factory, 1)00 hands are employed, in the saw mills, *750, in the lumber yard, 200, in the other factories, 200, together with 100 carters and pilers, the regular wages bill amounting to $12,000 per fortnight for 2,150 hands. Dur'ng the season of 187-J, 50,000,000 feet of lumber, were turned out of these mills. -^ HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 13 LpvPge as is the amount of trade done in manu- factured lumber now, it is a comparatively new branch of commerce in the district, tlio earlier lumbermen confining- their operations to square timber, which was principallj^ shipped from Quebec to the European markets. In their long journej^s down ihe river, at rapids and falls, much of this was apt to sustain injury, to prevent which '' the lum- ber slides," one of the " institutions" of the Ottawa, vrere designed and constructed— and the ''running" of which is as exciting an experiment as any tourist could wish for. The slide is thus con- structed : Above the falls the water is boomed or dammed off into an artificial current, the heiid of which is 800 yards above the falls and ends, after a run of nearly three quarters of a mile, in the still waters of the river below. The slide is enclosed on both sides and broken into small chutes of some four feet each, with horizontal runs between them. Above the head of the run the raft is separated into cribs containing from fifteen to twenty logs each, which are polled on to the gigantic staircase. One who has tried it says, '' it is the most exhili- rating adventure in the repertoire of American travel. The immense speed of the whole mass — the rush of the water — the succession of chutes B wK^m stretching out before you like sloping steps of stairs, the rough long straits in which the raft seems to dive and founder, letting the water up beneath and over behind till it is again urged for- ward, whirling madly as if in a swir.^, the timber creaking and groaning as if in pain, getting a momentary rest with each incline, and again thumping over the straits with sharp, uneasy struggles, creates a sensation such as nothing can afford but the great slides of the Ottawa." Desi:>ite the excitement, there is no danger in the run, and the trip is frequently made by ladies who have no dread of wet feet. In the smooth water below the falls known as the rafting ground, the cribs are again collected and rafted for their further journey down the stream. RIDEAU FALLS. At the eastern confine of the city, where the waters of the Eideau join the Ottawa, stands the double Eideau, or curtain ffcU from which the r'ver takes its name. These falls aspire to none of the grandeur of volume of the Chaudiere though con- siderably higher and more graceful. They are well worth a visit, however, as aro also the grist, woollen and flour mills in their immediate vicinity. Should the visitor feel inclined to pass the bridges 1 ;'i HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 15 over the river he may visit the pretty Village of New Edinburgh, in which several handsome villas are located, as also the residence of His Excellency the Governor General, RIDEAU HALL. This edifice was originally built for a private residence by the late Hon. Thomas McKay, Con- tractor^ for the locks at the Kideau Canal, and stands in the midst of spacious well laid out grounds. It was purchased some years since by the Canadian Government for a Yice-Eegal .v^sidence, since which time additions have been made to the building, and the grounds much im- proved. It now possesses all the requirements which, as Her Majesty's' representative, Lord Duflferin and his amiable Countess so well know how to dispense. During the winter its reception rooms are in constant requisition, as also its theatre, where sometimes Her Excellency takes part in the amat' n ,' performances. The skating rink also is the < .'3 of many pleasant gatherings, and His Excel, a /, who is a keen curler, frequently ex- tends his iiospitalities to the votaries of the roaring game. Indeed, Lord Dufferin has shown practical sympathy with aii athletic sports about Ottawa, and his private cricket ground is continually at the 16 HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. disposal of the Ottawa Cricketers. In no place in the Dominion are their Excellencieri more beloved than in the city where they reside, and whose people have continual proofs of how well they can sustain the dignity of their position and at the same time display an active in teres v in all that goes on about them. MAJOR'S HILL.-TH£ BRIDGES. To those fond of ^^ntural beauty a stroll along Major's Hill will not ? e amiijs. This may be called a sister bluff to the j^,romontory on which the Parliament Buildings stand, and many splendid views may be had from it. Like most other places about Ottawa it takes its name from matters connec- ted with the early settlement of the place, but which a short fifty years have almost sunk into oblivion. Major's Hill is the property of the Government, but has been granted to the city for the present for a public park, for which its central position and natural beauties well fit it. The city is almost bisected by the Kideau Canal, that por- tion of it to the west of the water being known as Upper Town, the flat district'to the east is called Lower Town, while the higher ground to the east and south between the Canal and the liideau River is i 1 ■■■■ I.

Police Station, there is but one in Ottawa, a fact which says volumes for the morality of a city of 30,000 souls, and in which no serious crime has yet gone un traced. Parties requiring the aid of the force should apply at the station in the City Hall Square, opposite the Union House. The force consists of a Chief, two Sergeants and twenty men, besides a detective and railway constables. The general working of the force, as elsewhere stated, is vested in three Commissioners, viz: — The Mayor, the County Judge and the Police Magistrate. , THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. The Fire Department of Ottawa, in efficiency and economy, may be called the model fire depart- ment of the Dominion. In its present form it has been in existance only two years, previous to which it was almost worthless. The Chief has now at his command five fine steamers, with proper equipment, capable of throwing 2*7,000 gallons of water per minute, 10,000 feet of hose, and 16 horses. Eeel stations with guardians are distributed throughout the city, all communicated with by electric alarm, and from which the men turn out on an average of 11 seconds from the striking of the gongs. Besides the staff required for working the steamers there ■■■ HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 21 are attached to the Brigade two vohinteer com- panies of hooks and ladders, and a number of vohin- teer hosemen, but these will soon give place to a paid force. THE WATER WORKS. The Water Works, without which the best organized fire department w^ould be incomplete, were commenced in 1872, under the direction of a Board of Commissioners annually elected, and were opened in November 18*73. Their cost of construc- tion up to the present time has been $800,000, and pipes to the length of over 30 miles have been laid in almost every street of the city. So far 250 hydrants, capable of supplying 300 streams, have been erected for fire service, and 3,000 services fur- nished for private use. The system on which they are constructed very much resembles the Holly system, only that in the Ottawa works, plunger pumps are used instead of rotary ones. The water supply is drawn from the Ottawa Kiver, a short distancs above the city. The pump house, situated at the w^estern end of the city, is a fire-proof build- ing, with a tank extending over its entire roof. It contains two sets of pumps, three in each, and a third set is now being put in. The present con- sumption of water averages 1,000,000 gallons per v i - l! il h ■",i 11 22 ITANIJ GUIDE TO OXTAWA. diem, but the pumps have a working capacity of 6,000,000 gaUoDS per diem. Tlie whole machinery ifl drivoi by water power. Jn clone proximity to the purnp-honRe the Commissioners liavo also the test-house, for testing the pipes before they are laid. THE CAS SUPPLY. The (ta8 Bupplj/of the city is in the hands of a private company, which was incorporated in 1854, with a capital of $200,000. Its pipes are distributed through the princij^al streets, in the lighting of which the Corporation uses 217 lamps, at an annual cost of $18 per lamp. The yearly manufacture of the company is about 18,000,000 feet, which includes the supply for the Parliament Buildings and the Village of New Edinburgh, as also Eideau Hall, to which ])oint the service pipes have been laid. THE COURT HOUSE. The Court House, which is the property of the Countj^ of Carleton, is a handsome editice built throughout of blue limestone. It was constructed after plans prepared by Mr. Eobert Surtees, at that time a member of the Council. It is situated at the junction of Daly and Nicholas streets, its main front facing the latter road, being 122 feet, it has also a minor front on Daly Street. In design it consists of a principal centre and two wings, the former being HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 23 finibhed with a haiKlr^ome podimont and surmounted by a figure of juntice.

Jail, which stands in close proxi- mity to the Court House, was built after plans prepared by Messrs. Horsey and Shcard, and was long considered the model gaol of the country. It is also built of Blue Limestone and cost $b*0,000. Its interior arrangements are model* i on the most approved j)lans of the present day to secure perfect custod}^ of the ^n'lBoners and insure tJiorough disci- pline and proper sanitary requirements. It contains 96 cells but they have never yet been all required. Its principal front faces Nicholas Street, and in it are the living rooms of the governor. It is heated by steam throughout and supplied by water from a well by means of a force pump worked by prison labor. The male prisoners are employed in the building and in gardening, breaking stones and pounding oakum. The female prisoners are kept knitting, and as their socks and mittens find ready ,■ - 1 . lip sale a considerable revenue is derived from t.heir work, THE COUNTY REGISTRY OFFICE. The County Eegistry Office, which stands in the same square as the Court House, and faces Daly Street, is a one storey tire proof building of Blue Limestone, built in conformity with a recent act of the Ontario Legislature concerning the construction of Eegistry Offices. THE CITY REGISTRY OFFICE. The City Eegistry Office, is on Nicholas sti'eet facing the gaol. It is a counterpart of that belonging to the county with the exception that white brick and sandstone dressings have been used in its construction instead of limestone. THE BANKS. The Ban AS doing business in Ottawa, have most of them handsome offices of their own erected with- in a recent period. • The Bank of British North America, J. Eobertson, Manager, is on Wellington Street. It is a handsome building of Kepean Sandstone with dressings of Ohio stone. It is three stories in height with a mansard roof and cost $25,000 to construct. Besides the counting room and offices it contains admirable dwelling apartments for the manager. ■r: HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 25 f::». t The Canadian Bank op Commerce, J. H. Plummer, Manager, has but recently opened business in the city and at present occupies leased apart- ments in the Victoria Chambers on Wellington Street. The Bank of Montreal, Andrew Drummond, Manager, has lately completed for its offices one of the handsomest buildings of the city. It is an ele- gantly designed structure of fine cut limestone standing at the junction of Wellington and O'Connor Streets, and attached to it is a commodious residence for the Manager. Its interior fittings are exceed- ingly handsome, and the whole workmanship evinces durability and strength combmed with elegance. La Banque Rationale, S. Benoit, Manager, this institution has just completed a handsome set of offices of fine cut limestone on Wellington Street ; in style the building is Eoman, and the design simple but effective, it will always be an ornament to what promises to bo the handsomest street in North America. The Ontario Bank, J. 11. Woodman, one of the oldest established banks in the city, has as yet no building of its own. Its offices are located in a leased building, at the corner of Sparks and Metcalfe streets.

It is one of those buildings one regrets to see in a hand- some street, being too good to pull down and yet painfully homely beside its more modern brethren. The ItlERCHANTS Bank, Thomas Kir by, Manager, has its offices in a handsome block erected for the Bank by the Montreal Telegraph Company. The block, besides the bank offices, contains a residence for the Manager and three handsome stores. It is built of Nepean sandstone with dressings of Ohio sandstone, in the Italian Grothic style, from plans prepared by Mr. K. Arnold!, of Ottawa. It covers an area of 6G feet by 56, and is 70 feet in height. Its construction cost about S40,000. Bank op Ottawa, P. Robertson, Manager, is a newly organized local institution. It at present occupies premises iu" the Yictoria Chambers at the corner of Wellington and O'Connor streets. The Quebec Bank, H. V.

Christ's Church. — This handsome structure, completed two years ago, was designed by Mi\ Arnoldi, of Ottawa, to take the place of a smaller edifice on the same site, erected in 1832. With the exception of the Parliament Buildings scarcely any structure in Ottawa holds a finer situation, being built on a bold bluft^ commanding a splendid view of the LeBreton Flats, the Chaudiere, and the country beyond. The building, which is seated for 1,000 persons, is built of the Nepean limestone, and cost about $40,000. The style of architecture is Gothic of the 13th century, and well carried out. It con- sists of a nave and two aisles, the former 100 feet in width and 32 feet in breadth, separated from the side aisles by clustered pillars of polished marble. The chancel is situate at the south end opening by a graceful arch into the nave, having on the west side the vestry and the organ on the east. The I i^n 28 HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. main entrance is from the north, or SjDarks street front, and on the north east angle rises the tower and spire, both of very elegant proportions. The roof in the interior is open work with all the timber exposed and backed with wood frame work, the sittings is open, without doors, and like all the interior wood work, are of pine oiled and varnished. Beneath the chui-ch is fine meeting room, 85 feet by 60, used for the purpose of a Sunday Schooll. There is also in the basement library rooms, class rooms, storage cellars and coal bunks. The organ, which, if not the largest, is the sweetest toned instrument in the capital, was built by the Messrs. Warren of Montreal, bv whom it is considered one of their masterpieces, at a cost of $4,600. The metallic work ill *'ho interior is all finished in blue and gold, which with several handsome memorial windows df stained glass gives the edifice a particularly rich ap- pearance. CHURCH OF ST. ALBAN. imjjuujk, Church of St. Alban. — This neat structure, situate at the junction of King and Daly Streets, was erected in 1868, and is generally looked on as the rendezvous of the Anglican Church ritualist party in Ottawa. It owes its existence chiefly to the exertions of its present rector, the Eev. Dr. Jones, HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 29 by whom the parish was first organized and who set afoot the subscription list for the church build- ing. It is built of blue limestone set in random courses, with no work on the face, the only dressing being for door and window jambs, buttresses and plinths. This, however, is executed in a peculiarly rough manner, wh'^'h though costing little is more effective, and harmonizes well with the general style. The style of architecture is pointed gothic, carved out in the plainest manner compatible with neatness. It consists of a nave 78 feet by 38 feet and a chancel 37 feet by'25 feet; on tlie south side of the latter will be the rectory room, and on the north the design includes a magnificent tower and spire, which when complete will have an altitude of 190 feet. The roof is shingled, painted in imi- tation of slate, and open in its interior construction, the timber being exposed and the principals resting on neat stone corbels. The seats are all open and free J the interior wood work is all pine, oiled and varnished. The basement contains a fine meeting room, extending under the whole body of the church, used for Sunday school, library and such like pur. poses. In the church proper is an excellent though not lai'ge organ, and the congregation can boast of a very good choir. The building is supported en- 30 HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA.

The Bishop's Chapel is an unpretending build- ing, of blue limestone, situated at the corner of Sussex and Kideau streets. It was built some years since to suit the double purpose of a Church of England Chapel and School House. Since that time however, it has received considerable additions, and will now accommodate about 1,000 persons. It was originally designed by Mr. Henry Fripp, and though neat, is very plain in appearance. The interior of the roof is open work and finished like the sittings in imitation of varnished oak. The pews are all open but not free, though no strangers visiting it find any difficulty in obtaining seats. It is the church which was attended by the Anglican Bishop of Ontario, when in Ottawa, and who gen- erally performs a portion of the service morning and evening each Sunday. - EMMANUEL CHURCH. Emmanuel Church, an edifice belonging to the Eeformed Episcopal Church, is a neat building of white brick, situate at the corner of Elgin and Gloucester streets.

The New Theatre Boyal is directly in rear of rhe House, and several of the best boxes are regularly kept for the guests of this Hotel. The St. Lawteiuje Hall has long been regarded as the most POPULAR AND FASHIONABLE HOTEL IN MONTREAL, and is patronized by Government on public occasions, including that of the visit of H. R. H. Prince of Wales and Suite, and that of His Exc bllency the Governor General and Suite. The Hotel has been considerably Enlarged, so that in future the Proprietor hopes to be able to accommodate comfortably all who may favor him with their patronage. The Consulate Office of the United States is in the Hotel, a,s well as a Telegraph Office to all parts. The Proprietor having purchased Mr. Hogan'a interest in the above Hotel, would respectfully solicit a -continuance of the liberal patronage enjoyed by him, and would add that, during the past winter, he has renovated and refurnished the Hotel throughout.

The present quarters of the Carle ton are over the Commercial Eestaurant on Elgin street, but the fast increasing membership of the association renders a change imperative. KNOX CHURCH. Knox Church, fjacing the City Hall on Union Square, was erected in 1873 at a cost of $35,000, raised principally by subscription among the congregation. It covers an area of 130 feet by 45, and has a seating capacity of 1,500. The design is Gothic, consisting of a nave, with a main tower on Union Square, with a to^^or on either side ; the western one of these is finished sharp off at the stone work, but the other is surmounted by a well proportioned spire 160 feet in height. It is built of blue limestone with cut dressings of the same material, and presents a very handsome appearance. The interior is handsomely finished, and a self supporting gallery runs round three sides of the edifice. The roof is handsomely groined and frescoed in neutral tints. A loftv basement runs below the entire building, in which accommodation for lecture rooms, Sabbath schools, furnace rooms, &c., is provided. The design was furnished by Mr. Hodgson, of Ottawa. COWAN'S OPERA HOUSE. Gowan's Opera House, erected in 1874, may be considered the model theatre of the Dominion, was put up at a cost of $40,000. It is situated on Albert street, between Metcalf and O'Connor streets, D 38 HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. and in exterior is a plain quadrangular building of red brick, 66 feet by 99 in dimensions. The entrance is from Albert street, but nine large doors opening outwai'ds from various parts of the build- ing, render it in case of emergency the most e^isily emptied building in the country. Besides the main floor, it has only one gallery, and is so arranged that almost every seat in the house commands a full view of the stage. The finishings of the auditorum are in white and gold, the seats cushioned in green leather. The orchestra chairs are of the latest folding pattern, and the whole has a per- manent seating capacity of 1600, which can easily be increased to 2,000. The stage boxes are models of elegance, and the equipment of the building behind the scenes is ahead of many lai'ger buildings. ST. MARK'S CHURCH. St. Mark's Chtfrch, belonging to the Wesley an Methodist congregation, is situated on the Richmond road. It is an unpretending building of brick with stone basement and a neatly finished tower and spire. It-^ cost is about $10,000, and it affords sittings for 000 persons. THE RIDEAU CLUB.

It has hitherto occupied leased quarters, and is at present located on Wellington street, close to Metcalf street. A short time ago, however, the association purchased a building site on the corner of Metcalf and Wei ling- ton stroets, oil which a new club house is in course of erection. The building is handsome in design, three stories in height, with a mansard roof with a tower at the S.E. corner. It will occupy an area of 60 feet square, and costs $18,000. The materials used in its construction are white brick with lime- stone dressings, and roofing of Vermont slate. ;f WELLINGTON WARD IVSARKET. ^i'if JU AVellington W^aud Maufcet, now in course of construction, is a substantial building of white brick with limestone basement, 190 feet by 64, containing 23 commodious stalls with a corridor 30 feet in width in the centre.

The Carleton Protestant Hospital situated at the east end of Eideau street, and overU)oking the Eideau Eiver, originally was inaugurated by private subscription, and has been principally maintained iri the same way ever since. The first building erected by the Trustees of the fund was a plain substantial stone edifice, wliich, though ample for the wants of the neighbourhood then, has long been insufficient for present requirements. Since then sufficient funds have been raised to justify the putting Tip of the present edifice, which, however, only shows a portion of th» complete design. When completed, the building will present a front consist- ing of two wings and a handsome centre, the centre and one wing only being constructed at present. It is four stories in height, and white brick has been used in its erection with stone dressings. In the interior great care has been evinced in laying it out, and the most modern improvements introduced. The apartments are all spacious, cheerful, well lighted, and thoroughly ventilated. In addition to wards for the usual classes of patients comfortable separate rooms are provided for those who wish to pay for them, at an almost nominal charge. The medical staff comprises the ablest physicians of the city, who are assiduous in the discharge of their duties. The situation of the Hospital could not well be surpassed, standing as it does on elevated ground in close proximity to the Eideau Eiver, and commanding fine views of all the country about, so that its inmates are always sure of pure air and surrounded by cheerful scenery. w** i CATHEDRALS DE NOTRE DAME. The Cathedrale de Notre Dame, the princi- pal Eoman Catholic Church of the city, is situated on Sussex street. It was begun in 1846, but never J ■m. I enlargement necessary. It is constmicted (• blue limestone, and at present consistH of a nave and two aisles, having thi^ee larg*^. entrances from Sussex street. The main entrance is intended to be sur- mounted by a portico and pediment, the minor en- trances being under two liandsome towers which have an altitude of 220 feet. Its interior dimensions are 200 feet by 72, besides the sanctuary, which has an area of 40 feet by 40 feet. Tlie nave is divided from the atrlos by clustered Gothic columns, the roof throughout being handsomely groind, and in the sanctuary richly frescced. At the east end is the organ gallery containing also accommodation for the choir. The instrument is a remarkablj fine one and curious in its construction, being builtin two parts, one on either side of the gallery, which can be used separaely or together at the will of the organist. A lofty crypt underlies the whole struc- ture, which is used for confessional purposes class meetings, special services and other purposes. When the alterations in the building are proceeded with this portion will be greatly enlarged. The se- veral finishings of the interior ol the church I f J * I ^^'^l^'^^fpr^ ^ ■ >*J 'f " are plain, though it contains a few good pictures, but none of particular note.

Since its eHtablishment, the Ottawa Convent has sent out many off-shoots having now 28 branches affiliated with it, of which it is the mother house.

The building is pleasantly situ- ated, on Elgin street, in close proximity to Cartier Square, and so near to the canal that it is sure to always command open space about it and abundance of pure air. It is constructed of blue limestone, and consists of a centre and two wings, the main front facing Elgin street. From wing to wing it has a width of 156 feet, w4th a depth of 96 feet. A lofty basement underlies the whole structure, above which the building rises in two stories, 16 feet and 18 feet respectivel}", the total height to the roof being 50 feet. The estimated rfbat of it is HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 49 $60,000 inclusive of $2,000 for land, but it is not probable it will be completed for that amount. The interior arrangements are admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is intended, and every care has been taken to enable both instructors and pupils to cai'ry out their work satisfactorily and comfort- abl T The heating and ventilating have received particular attention, and as far as utility is con- cerned, nothing remains to be desired. The designs were prepared by gentlemen in Toronto, but the work has been carried on under the superintendence of M;% Hodgson, of Ottawa. While all are willing to admit the excellence of the interior of the edifice, it is the general opinion that its external appear- ance is not up to the standard of the new public buildings of the Capital, and that for the same cost an equally useful structure, of more imposing appearance, might have been put up. • wHswiH* ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH. ^ ' ' ' St. Patrick's Church. — This handsome edifice, situated on Hugh street, has been erected- by the voluntary subscriptions of the Irish Catholics of Ottawa, and is the largest and most handsomely finished ecclesiastical building belonging to the Eoman Catholic body in Ottawa. The former Irish Catholic Church was a small, old building, originally E fii. .J I : ft- 50 HAriD GUIDE TO OTTAWA. '3 ai: built by the Presbyterians, and situated on Sparks street^ which was at various times enlarged and repaired, till it became a mass of patchwork, unfit for its large congregation, and incompatable with their position and influence in the city. The present building was designed by Mi*. Mara, and was intended to have been of stone throughout, and with that idea was begun and car- ried out to the clear story. A difficulty in funds, and some misunderstanding between the subscribers and the Building Committee, brought the work to a stand still for a considerable time, after which the plans were modified and entrusted to Mr. Arnoldi, under whose superindendence the work has been brought to its present state. In many respects the alterations have greatly detracted from the origi- nal design both in curtailment of dimensions and in the substitution of other material for stone and slate, but in time the intention of the first architect will be carried out. From the exterior appearance of the building the stranger would not expect to find the interior of it presenting the elegant and imposing appearance it does. The roof all through is richly grained, and the whole interior painted in pleasing fresco of neutral tints. The pews are all open, the main portion being in pine and finished HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. 51 in butternut, the whole oiled and varnished. The roof, which is open with exposed rafters, well cai'ved, is of the similar material and finish. The tower contains the largest bell in the city, weighing 5,000 lbs. ST. PATRICK'S ORPHAN ASYLUM.^' ' St. Patrick's Orphan Asylum. — This institu- tion, founded on voluntary subscriptions, and prin- cipally maintained from the same source among the Irish Eomaii Catholics of the Capital, is the hand- somest charitable institution the city possesses. Its special object is to afford free homes and education to destitute orphan children of Irish Eoman Catholics till they are fit to take their own part in the battle of life. It is not, however, to infancy alone that its cares have been extended, as at pre- sent a number of aged persons, unable any longer to work, find a resting place and comfort within its walls. The premises, the property of the Asylum, are situated on Maria street, and consist of a large limestone building four stories in height, and sur- rounded by spacious grounds. The basement con- tains, besides the kitchen and other offices, a large refectory, which on gala days is used as a public hall, and on the gi^ound floor is situated the chapel, the reception rooms, and the offices of the managers. 52 HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. m i etc. The flat above iy divided into dormitories with separate beds for each of the little ones, and ample space in the rooms anil corridors for them to play in diu'ing the inclement weather. The top- most flat is devoted to the old people, most of whom seldom descend from it, their food and other materials required by them being sent to the dor- mitories by means of dumb waiters. Although never free from debt, this institution has never turned its back on applicants for its assistance, and though constantly increasing its expenditure, its condition is steadily improving iinancially. None who see the healthy, well cared-for children within its walls can doubt the money it costs is well spent nor help congratulating the Irish Eoman Catholics of Ottawa on the useful channel into which they have turned their national trait of generosity. .,, J i!.fi PROTESTANT ORPHAN'S HOME. v. , : umThe PaoTESTANT Orphan's IIoME, situated on Alhert street, close to Elgin street, is a non sectarian Protestant refuge for destitute Protestant orphans.

The congregation was at first small, and for a while met in an unpre- tending wooden building adjoining the site of the pre- sent church. Under the direction of an earnest and able pastor the body increased in numbers, and then put up the present edifice, which is a substan- tial Gothic building of blue limestone. Tho interior, though boasting nothing in the way of mere orna- ment, is fitted up with great taste, and as regards the placing of the seats no building could be better arranged for the comfort of the congregation. It has a central tower and spire of good proportion, which, though of no gre^t height, is a prominent object from all outskirts of the city, owing to the ' elevated position of the site of the church. ; jm^j \ 1 J. ,'■ H flV'x 58 HAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. , .

The new building, which is throughout of Ohio sandstone, is one of the handsomest buildings in the city, and as sub- stantial in its construction as it is elegant. The building is two stories and a half in height, with a deep basement, and surmounted by a high mansard roof. The main front faces the junction of the two bridges, and will have in its centre a lofty clock tower. The basement, which extends to the canal level, will be devoted to storehouses, and the Post Office will find accommodation on tl/e ground and first floors. In the latter, provision is made also for the offices of the Customs House and Inland Revenue. Ample provision is also made for custodian '3 apart- ments. The style of the architecture is classic, and great pains have been bestowed upon the details of the elaborate carving with which it is almost covered. As it is surrounded by a fine roadway it presents a finished facade on each of its four sides, and but for the central tower it would be hard to say from the finish of them which was the conven- tional front of the building. The interior has been so arranged as to make the edifice as fire-proof as possible. ■i^..^fi^:^ipl^;3Solri' i'liD "■i!'-^nyi% 60 UAND GUIDE TO OTTAWA. Hi f l\ ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH. St. Andrew's Ciiubcu. — The property of the Canada Presbyterian body is situated at the corner of Wellington and Kent streets, having its main entrance on the first named thoroughfare. It is a handsome gothic edifice of irregular design, with a noble tower and lofty spire at its North East angle. The material of its construction is Gloucester blue limestone, with tine cutdressingsof the same stone. Fortunately it is located on one of the broadest thoroughfares in the city, otherwise its tine propor- tions would bo marred from persons having to view it too close as it has no ground about it. The interior is verjr richly furnished, in perfect keeping with the rest of the building. Its cost is estimated at $65,000. Adjoining the Church and facing on Sparks street, is the Manse or residence of the Pastor, a comfortable and commodious stone dwel- ling, ere-Cted long before the Church was put np. .rMii^^iii'^: UHlVERSlTY OF OTTAWA. o.in;.nu:.vi .^ * ' ' The University op Ottawa, under the charge of the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ottawa, and the patronage of their Bishop, is situated on Wilbrod street, Sandy Hill.

" St. Joseph's Church is situated on Wilbrod street, Sandy Hill, and is attended by a mixed congregation of French and English speaking Eoman Catholics. It is built of limestone neatly finished, and with a good tower and spire. Out- wardly, however, it has no pretensions to high architectural finish. Its interior, on the contrary, is carried out strL t ly in accordance with the rules of Roman architecture and presents as attractive an appearance as could be wished for in a building of its size. In all its fittings the utmost neatness has been obseiwed and harmony preserved through- out. The organ gallery is occupied by an excellent instrument, and the choir, always ' apt in excellent practice, is about the best in the ci^y. *'^^'\^^ OTTAWA DRIVING PARK. / '"'^ ' Ot- AWA Driving Park is situated on IheSitik street Road, about one mile from the city.

JiiM. Skead, and a few other gentlemen, their object being to establish at the Capital a yearly display, which should be to Central Canada what the Provincial Exhibition is to the Province of Ontario. So far the results have exceeded their most sanguine hopes, the very first exhibition con- clusively proving that what was deemed a simple lumbering and mineral country, almost unfit for agriculture, was in possession of quantities of thorough bred stock, and was producing grain and roots equal to any in Western Canada. * • The grounds in extent occupy about 11 acres, and are situated a mile and a half from the city on the bant of the Kideau Canal. No site on which the Provincial Exhibition has been held could bo better adapted for the purpose. The ground is dry, level, and sufficiently irregular in form to prevent h looking stiff or formal, and its immediate prox- imity to a large body of water guarantees its cool- ness in the hottest and dryest weather.

These two roads are about equal in length. The third road is considerably longer, but by far the most pleasant and well suited to those who can enjoy pretty scenery, or to whom time is not an important item. It runs from Rideau street past the county buildings, and traverses canal and river banks on their lower side till the swing bridge, just above the grounds, is reached. This road, however, will only be used by such as are fond of walking and have time to spare. The Rideau canal furnishes the route of the greatest capacity, as steamers start on it from the most central part of the city, and land their passengers on the grounds. To exhibitors of etock and machinery this route affords great advantages in water transportation of their goods and cattle. w:\^\m f I 'i" » ''^''Details of the laying out of the grounds is not necessary to give.
