 'HIS swift and 
 popular rambler 
 aiiioiivij the intri- 
 cate channels of 
 the lovely Thous- 
 and Islands l)ears 
 the name of the 
 well- known steamboat captain 
 who fh'st opened to the pub- 
 lic the famous circuit of the 
 Islands by regular daily ex- 
 cursions. The Commander of 
 the Cap IAIN Viscer is a sou of 
 this pioneer navigator. 
 
 The Cai'Iain Vis(;ek has the 
 proportions, grace and speed 
 of a sujierb private steam - 
 yacht. The boat has a length 
 of 5)0 feet, is 18 feet beam and 
 has a capacity of 110 passen- 
 gers, with ample protection 
 below in case of stormy weather. With her light draught and easy hand- 
 ling the Cai"I'ai.\ VisciKK is guided through many lovely scenes not hereto- 
 fore revealed to the excursionist. 
 
 Twice daily the Captain Vis(;er leaves Alexandria Bay during the 
 summer season, making a tour of 40 miles, which includes stops at all im- 
 portant points among the Islands, and gives a complete panorama of all 
 the magnificent natural attractions anrl hundreds of splendid summer 
 homes which are the admiration of all visitors. 
 
 The morning tour leads up the American Channel to Clayton, thence 
 through Eel Bay and along the Canadian main shore, where are grouped 
 the most beautiful of the wild Canadian islands. The afternoon tour be- 
 gins at Clayton and reverses the direction. The itinerary following is that 
 of the forenoon tour, the places named being designated by numbers upon 
 the accompanying map. Those using this list for reference in the after- 
 noons should read the list backwards.

 The Cai'Tain Vis(;f.k turning here to the right, after touching 
 at MNE VIEW, passes between two shoals just upon the sur- 
 face, and heads for the wharf at THOUSAND ISLAND 
 PARK, the most populous place among the islands. 
 
 THE COLUMBIAN HOTEL, located here, is one of the largest 
 and best known of the Island houses. Several hundred cot- 
 tages, some of them costly and tasteful, range along the river 
 front or face the inland avenues. 
 
 CASTLE FRANCES, opposite "The Park." is owned by Wm T 
 Serrell, Kayonne, N. J. 
 
 THE PULLMAN HOUSE, another attractive hotel, beautifully 
 situated, IS the next regular stop, and just above it is

 owned by P. M. Sharpies, of Westchester, Pa. 
 
 MURRAY HILL HOTEL, recently built, is the next call This 
 IS a wildwood park, already well dotted with cottages set 
 among the crags and verdure. The hotel is a large and ele- 
 gant building, handsomely furnished. It should be mentioned 
 tliat the Captain Viscer is the only steamer making the Island 
 Ramble that touches regularly at the Pullman House. Grenell 
 Islanu and Murray Hill Park.

 CLAYTON, the En/repot of the Islands, is a busy place in sum- 
 mer. It is the terminus of the R. W. & O. Railroad, and has 
 several good hotels, the Hubbard, Walton and Windsor, all 
 being popular. 
 
 PROSPECT PARK, upon the shapely point above Clayton. The 
 WOODLANDS, the villa of Mrs. Alexander Mitchell, of Flori- 
 da, with several other fine cottages, are located here. 
 
 Opposite Clayton is CALUMET ISLAND, which with its magni- 
 ficent sandstone residence, ornate boat-house and varied im- 
 provements made by Mr. Chas. G. Emery, of New York, is 
 probably the most costly place upon the river. 
 
 Calumet is seen with especial advantage from the Cai'Tain 
 ViscjEK, which approaches close to its sea walls in passing. 
 The beautiful steam yacht Nina, a house-boat and two naptha 
 launches, with numerous trim skiffs may be seen in the fairy 
 bay as we glide past. Mr. Emery owns a number of other 
 islands, among them Robbins, upon which he has established 
 a fine farm, orchards and green houses. 
 
 The Cai'Tain ViscF.R now heads a v;ay through the channel 
 leading into Eel Bay and toward Canada. The summer Venice 
 of wealthy Americans is left behind and primeval nature sur- 
 rounds us. Camping parties and fishing skiffs are seen in the

 cate and entrancing channels everywhere, the yacht crosses a 
 small bay and heads directly for the main shore. There is no 
 apparent outlet and the prospect seems imminent for the Cap- 
 tain VisoKR to come to a stop in a farmer's garden dead ahead. 
 By a sudden turn to the right, however, we enter Horseshoe 
 Channel. Upon the left is the Glen House, W. W, Shipman, 
 proprietor. Our course is now in a generally northeastern di- 
 rection, passing Champagne Point and Ivy Lea. With slowed 
 engines we enter that wonderfully narrow channel, THE 
 NEEDLE'S EYE; from either side of the boat a person might 
 leap ashore. Leaving this beautiful group of islands we head 
 for the Canadian main shore at a point where there seems to 
 be no outlet. Again with slowed engines we enter the narrow, 
 tortuous channel called OUT OF SIGHT. There is but one 
 place in tne whole river that surpasses this in the grandeur of 
 Its natural beauty, THE WONDERFUL RIFT, which we will 
 soon enter. 
 
 ECHO LODGE, a pleasant hotel conducted by O. L. Potter. 
 
 From Champagne Point to Echo Lodge, no excursion steamer 
 has ever before ventured, presumably from the belief that this 
 channel through a dense group of islands was too intricate for 
 navigation. This lovely link in the perfect island tour has now 
 been added by the Catiain Visgi.r.

 08.J;,WESTMINSTER PARK with its large hotel is at the foot of 
 Wellesley Island. Between Hill and Wellesley islands is the 
 entrance to the Luke of the Isles, or " Lake Waterloo," as it is 
 locally known. It is accessible only by rowboats and small 
 naptha launches. A steam ferry-boat plies regularly between 
 Westminster Park and Alexandria Bay. 
 
 The international boundary line is crossed with slowed en- 
 gine, not because of any danger of getting the line tangled up 
 in the propeller, but because the water here is shallow. 
 
 To the left of the Caitain Visgkr's course is a group of noted 
 places, among them
