It is g-enerallx' julmitted to lie one of tlie most enterprising- and prog-ressive centres in the Dominion. It is essentially a mannfacturinji;' town, beautifully sit- uated in, and the capital of Waterloo County— one of the most fertile in the Banner Province. It is a Cosmojiolitan Town-tlu' thrifty (lerman and the enterprising' Ang"lo- Saxon working together unitedly to advance its hest interests. It is also a Town of Homes and more wag'e-earners own their dwellings (substantial brick buildings) than do the workmen of any otiier eentre on the continent. Berlin's growth has l)een rapid during- the past two decades, but of a most substantial charact(ir and it has a bright future before it. A scrutiny of the i)ag-es of this Booklet will convince you of its light to the title of "Busy Berlin." i5ioric5.I J ft^W ^^ OSEPTT ROTTNETDER, n nntivo of Ponnsyl- vnnin first settled on the site of the i)n'sent town of Uerlin in 1807.

Its location is on undulatinjr jifround and situated near the centre of Waterloo County, of which it is the Judicial, Bankin^^, Manufacturuig- and Cbmnjercial centre.

Ditt'crent societies and the town have p>n»' hand in liand to -provide places of entertainment and instruction for the citizens in wiiich younji' and oUI may prwtltably siiciid their U'isure time. Wherever thcOerman makes hishome, music is i ''tain to Ix-one of the princii)al features of recreation, hence it is l)ut tiatui'ai thai ilio l)and i)f a town likt' Berlin should have but few in the Province which can be compareil with it. The Musical Society, whose or^'anization the 2Uth liatt. Haiul is. is coniftosed of the principal citizens of Herliu, who by contributions, supi»lemented by a ^'•rant from the town, i)rovi8. The Philharmonic Society with a membership of about 80 members and 20 pieces in the orchestra, is under tlu^ leadership of its founder, Prof. T. Zoellner. The hijjh class of works, to which its time is devoted, is shown by the following" Oratorios })roduced bv it: Ilavden's 'Creation," A])ril .'ird, i8o4; Rossini's "Stabat Mater," JuIv'lOth, 1884; Mendelssohn's "St. Paul," Jan. 28th, 188r); Havden's "Creation," [Saengerfest] Aug. 12tli, 1880; Mendels>ohn's "llvmn of Praise," Jan. 27tl), 1887; llaendel's "Messiah," Mav 20th, 1887; Mendelssohn's "St. Paul," May 28th, 18!l(;; Haendel .; "Messiah," March 4th, 18!)7. No town of the size of Berlin can boast of a Club so home-like and so beauti- fullv situated as tlu; Berlin Club in its shadv g-arden on Duke street. The Di- rectors are Dr. D. S. Bowlby, Dr. D. Mincliin and Messrs. W. H. Kiddell, 0. S. Clarke, A. Mueller, Geo. Bruce, Jas, Lockie.jr., and (). Rumpel. AVhile all tlu^se are private institntions, the town has not been unmindful to su{)|)ly mental and physical recreation for its citizens In 188o a by-law was passed institutinga Free Library and gi-anting h a mill on the total assessment to the Jiib- rary Board, and by careful and , judicious expenditure an excellent collection of over (»,(X)0 volumes of English and (ierman Books has l)een gathered togetluir, the ai)preciation of which is shown by a list of .'3,(XX) readers, A beautiful site opposite Berlin Recreative-^ ^ [Continued.] the Court House was purchased by the Board this spring? and in a few years a Free Library building will be one of the siyi-Jits of Berlin. Kecreatiou is found in tlie different Parks, of wliich Victoria Park is one of the most beautiful breathing spots in the country, as a g-Jance at tlie views of it in this souvenir will show. The magnificent facilities provided in the Parks, for indulging- in all kinds of outdoor sports, is thorou<»"hly appreciated by the citizens, and manly ^anu's have always found warm sui)porters in the citizens of Berlin. Vssociation Foot- ball, for many years the most popular of panics, may be said to have its origin in Canada, in Berlin. Since I880 the Berlin llij^-h School and the KanfJi^ers have held the Western Challenge Cup eijifht years, while the Houg-li Cup for Inter-Col- leo'iate competition was won by the Jligii School ten times since 1884. In 18i)G, a bijou but modern Opera House was built in Berlin on (^)ueen Street by Mr. A. VValpfr :ind has been leased by Messrs. Philip & Hoote, with Mr. (rco. 0. Philip as local manager.
