 TiiK TiioisANi) Island Hocsk is located at "Alexandria IJay." 
 directly on the famous and historic River St. Lavrcnee. Its scenery 
 is absolutely uneijualed, and it is easily accessible by the I'tica S: 
 Black River R. R., the Rome, Watertown it Otrdcnsburu- R. R., tiic 
 (irand Trunk R. R., the Steamboats of the St. Lawrence River, and 
 from New York by Railway, via Utica, Rome, and Syracuse, and by 
 l):\y and Night Boats to Albany and Troy, and thence by Rail. 
 
 The salubrity of the climate, Avith its cool and bracing river 
 breezes, the sujierb quality of its scenery, its peerless fishing grounds, 
 with boats of all kinds, eoml)ined with the sumptuous accommoda- 
 tions of The Thousand Island House, make it the mo.st delightful 
 inland resort in the northern regions of New York. The demand of 
 the public has been for a iirst-class hotel in this section, and with the im- 
 provements and changes above mentioned, that object will be attained. 
 
 Prices to suit the times. A reduction will be made during the 
 months of June, July and September.

 '^T is iridfod a good thing that a moans of supply is givon us i'or 
 cij; ovory rial nood, tiuit as tho soasons roll round with their ooascloss 
 oliangos, ilu' genius of man is constantly devising moans of 
 moeting and lilling the need of the hour, and so niakin>,', not only tlio 
 waslo places of tho eartli, hut of nion's souls also, to " hlossoin as the 
 rose." IVrhaps the jiast century, which has witnessed the civilization 
 of our own "(ioodly Countrio" and lias (U'veloped and faxed (lie 
 energies of her people to the utmost, has not known a greater need 
 than this one of rest and recreation for body and mind during some 
 portion of eaeh year in order that their work may not prove .an overtiix, 
 ami, they suddenly find themselves, while yet in the prime of life and 
 apparent health, stricken down and out of their places, and " ho known 
 there no more forever." Often the men so stricken are such as we 
 can illy sjiare; their places are not easily tilled, and a moans ])rovideil 
 which will sustain and jn-olong flieir usefulness is a priceless boon. 
 Such moans are at liaiul; we have only to avail ourselves of the bone- 
 tits to bo gained thereby. Not least among the many retreats offered 
 for this imrpose is the Thous.'ind Islands. It is idcntitied with inanv 
 scenes of the earliest liLstory of our country, and though it is only 
 recently its peculiar beauty and fitness as a resting place "amid the 
 toil of the years" has become generally known to the people, yet, 
 since the story has been told, its success has been almost unparalleled, 
 and from East, West, North and South, its praises are sounded bv 
 those who have been made glad by its beauty, rested in its serene 
 quiet, and so been restored to the glad fullness of useful living. 
 Please read the attempt at a description wo give you— it is only an 
 attempt; the beauty of this place can only be realized by an actual 
 visit, which, we trust, this little book may jtrove an incentive to you 
 to undertake.

 quencc, financiallv, have learne.l, myriads of them, how nnnu.nsely 
 profitable it is to them in every sense to m.r. These thousan.ls <.t 
 men have at the same time learned that they may, while recuperatnif,' 
 their worn-out energies, enjoy themselves amid the grandest beauties 
 of Nature's handiwork; may buihl up wasted energi.'s in the sports 
 for which are provide<l fish and bird and beast, and go back to then- 
 labors after a period of such relaxation, better, stronger and happier 
 people In short, sensible men are coming to realize that in order to 
 '..ijoy a vacation from labor, it is not necessary to turn it into a 
 vacation of dissipation. 
 
 There has been of lati- years a great amuial increase in the num- 
 bers of those who saw the wis.lom of laying down their bur.lens tor a 
 time with the assurance that when again taken up it would be with 
 renewed energy, through which they might not only aecomphsh 
 more of their accustomed labor, but would at the same time add to 
 the term of their lives. Hut last year this idea seemed to have be-

 period, fly to the wcxtds and the lakes, the mountains and the 
 Htreams, the seashore and the rural honu", to breathe in from Nature's 
 own scenes new powers for the future. 
 
 For these reasons it is now a common toj)ie around the family 
 hearth, throujirh the winter and sprin;;, to doeide what will be ilone 
 for enjoyment durint; the rej^ular summer respite. This (pu'slionis 
 now-a-days not so difficult to decide as it was a few yi'ars aj^o. The 
 matchless beauty of tlu' scenery of the 'I'housand Islands and the St. 
 Lawrence River, its wonderful resources as a sportinjjf locality, and 
 the deserved |)opularity of the Tiioi.sam) Isi..vni> IIoise, (over 
 twelve thousand jruests registered there durint^ the season of 1HH2), 
 arc now so well known thronyhout the whole country that it needs 
 little discussion to turn the faces of all seekers after rest, health 
 and recreation in that diiection. It i. now the popular Mecca 
 for • thousands of all classes of people, tlie nund»ers of wlioni 
 arc yearly inci-easing — people who seek the locality where they 
 may spend any Iciiirth of time anud the most ronnintic scenery 
 on the continent, enjoy the most cxeitmLj sport, an<l at the same 
 time .secure any deyree of comfort, from a tent on a wild islaml 
 to a sumptuous room in the Tn(»isA\i) Island IIoisi:, one of the 
 liiicst and most complete hotels to be foinid anywhere. 
 
 Of c()urse, in selecting a sunuiier resort, the fir.st attribute shouhl 
 be its health-givinijr attractions. That the St. Lawrence Itiver, 
 os]>ecially in the vicinity of the Thousand Islands, possesses these in 
 an eminent degree, v. ill be seen by the following comments from the 
 pen of an able writer, who has sj)ent many summers tiicrc: 
 
 'The air is light, dry and mellow, and is adajited to tiie consti- 
 tution of almost every one, producing a kind of peace-w ith-all-the- 
 world feeling, and endowing one with a new and wondrous activity. 
 Fogs rarely occur here, and you can remain day and night out of 
 doors without jieril to health. Neither is the night atmosphere damp 
 and heavy, us it is near the sea-shore and at many of the inland re- 
 sorts; it is generally with tardy steps that one withdraws indoors at 
 meal time or for the night. 
 
 " Many a time have we, after retiring to our bed, opened the 
 blinds and windows of our room so as to obtain one more view of 
 Nature in her evening dress before closing our eyes for the night.

 In a little hook like this, no adequate descrii.tion of the scenery 
 and iirincipal points of interest in this favored locality can he <iiven, 
 hut aided hy the artist, who has j,'iven us some accurate ami heautiful 
 illustrations, we may interest every one who is turninj.; in that direc- 
 tion for rest and recreation the coming sumnu r, and in the mimls ot 
 all who have heretofore enjoyed the advantages of the place, awaken 
 tender memorii's of pleasant hours. 
 
 To the iiv'W comer to this I'aradise of .\merica, the nol)le St. 
 Lawrence seems not at all like a river, hut like a ureal lake, si)readinsr 
 out io miles in hreadth, and e.vtendiuj,' nearly twenty miles hi leni^th, 
 much of which, especially in the vicinit v of the 'i'liorsANO Isi..\ni> 
 llorsK, is thickly sttidded with the most enchantinii islands, "woodeil 
 an.l cleared. Tlie Indians, in their rude hut poetic natures, called 
 this locality ".Manatoana," or (ianlen of the (4reat Si)irit, and the 
 name would seem to have heen a most appropriate one, as applied t.

 an<I swam from jioint to point, and each secluded hay, nestling among 
 
 the hills and hlutVs, teemetl with fowl that were never disturhed hy 
 
 harsh wonls, it was emphatically a garden in the wilderness. 
 
 Even at this day there are hundreils of places, wild and solitary 
 as in the la-imeval' days, among which glides erne's hoat, while its 
 occui)ant lies gloriously indolent, his free thought roaming through 
 the land of the heautiful; little watery nooks, where the health- 
 imparting, resinous odors of the evergreens iill the gratified nostrils, 
 and the whispers of Nature's mystic life serve hut to make the 
 solitude more hlissfnl. All this within a few strokes of the oar of 
 the ina<rnificent hotel, of which more will he said.

 A few milfs above tlio i5\v is anotluT of tlic more pi >niineiit 
 islaiiils, as aliovt' iiaiiu'd : at tlir U|)j)iM' I'Xtivniity of this island the 
 land narrows into a rngLCcd promontory, endinu: in a bluff sixt^- feet 
 in Iu'i<.dit. Here, liftinj^ tlieir ruined heads aloft and plainly visible 
 to all passery alonif the river, stand a number of toppling and half- 
 ruined chimneys. They may be seen fur miles 
 around. So lonj; liave these old sentinels watehed 
 
 over the scenes around 
 them, their history is lost 
 in tiie past. Around 
 them are the ruins of an 
 old fort, sui>posetl to be 
 the ruins of old Fort 
 Fninteuae. Around its 
 redoubts and parajiets 
 lin<j;er antitpiated histori-

 who once occupied the fort. 'I'lie scene is of diep interest to the 
 student of history. 
 
 Another of the interesting; points of attraction amoiiti; the Ameri- 
 can island, is the Devil's Oven— a !j;reat and nearly cubical block of 
 ^jcranite, symmetrical eiioui,'!! to have been cut with human liands, its 
 summit topped l)y a lialf-f.'imislied _iri-,,.,vtli < !' rajr^ed cellars, while in 
 one of its sides is excavated an almost circular openinjjr which boars 
 a resemblance to a great oven ; this place has also its Icfreiid, which 
 any of the river dwellers 
 can relate to you. 
 
 Of course there are 
 liuiulreds of other islands, 
 capes, bays and various 
 points of interest, all of 
 which will be well worth 
 a visit from the tourist. 
 Together they coiitrib ite 
 to make the grand scenery 
 of the Thoiisan<l Islands, 
 which lias given I lie 
 locality a fame that is not 
 contined to America, even. 
 Many of these island have 
 been jmrchascd by j)rivafe 
 parties and have been built 
 upon and improved for 
 summer '-esideiiees. Some 
 
 of •'liese islands are so small devivs ove\. 
 
 the owners can throw a fly from the front door of their dwelliiig.s to 
 the bass they can plainly see in the clear water, which is never dis- 
 turbed by a freshet. 
 
 ni.LiK isr.Axn. 
 
 Among these many ])oiiits of interest is the splendid water view 
 from J>liifl:' Ishuid, which the artist has so ))erfei'tly pcrtravcd. From 
 these bold, rugged rocks, which rise perpendicularly to a hundred feet 
 above the water, a view is obtained which one may travel the conti- 
 nent to excel. A score of island'^; dot the wide expanse of water be.

 laziness that comes over him here. Work ! that is somethinu; that

 here will lind the rest, comrort and attention which they seek in 
 going from city to country, and every facility will be aiforded them 
 for seeing and enjoying the rare scenery and varied ainuseineiits of 
 the rivi'r and islands. No eniployees will be retainccl in the estab- 
 lishment who prove to be incoin) tent, negligent or discourteous. 
 I'^iniilies and partii's can be accommodated with di'siralile suites of 
 rooms at reasonable prices, with private dining-rooms if desired. 
 Invalids can have tire in their rooms when wanted, ami whatever else 
 the hotel can provide in the way of special comforts and attention. 
 
 HOAIS AND noATINO. 
 
 The splendid boats of Alexandria Uay have won an extemled 
 reputation. They are beautiful craft, and it is not only delightful 
 to row among the islands and upon tlie smooth waters of the bay, but 
 it is, as every one knows, a most healthful exercise. (Quests of the 
 TiiousAN'i) Isr.AN'n IIol'sk will timl at their disposal this seascni more 
 than three hundred boats, and careful ami experienced boatmen can 
 always be engaged at from two to three dollars a day. 
 
 Sl'OUTINO. 
 
 AVe must not omit to mention the entertainment to be found liere, 
 which is much like the Chinamairs national beverage in that it cheers 
 but does not inebriate; gives that healtliful rest wliich never comes 
 so surely from entire physical inactivity as from change of scene and 
 laying aside the routine of daily occupation (ov something that in- 
 terests while it does not exhaust froju excessive mental strain. We 
 have both " tishing and hunting" here, as one has written. Fishing, 
 of course. It is a good day. The water is still, and there is a thin 
 veil of clouds in the sky. We knew it was hot elsewl.re, but it is 
 not here. We .start oft a merry grouj) of bo.its. ^ > row in and 
 out among the islands and fiml our •'ground" at three miles distance. 
 Bass, pickerel, wall-eyed pike, muskallonge ! They come from ex- 
 haustless breeding and feeding grounds and will always be here. On 
 a lazy afternoon, we throw or troll our ibcs around the islands directly 
 in front of the hotel. There are places within fifty rods where we 
 can hardly throw a tly without getting a " rise." We see every day

 One cannot imagine a |)iaco hetter designed for the complete en-

 day during the season hut witnesses the (U^parture of numerous par-

 pulls up with a feeble struttujle the handsomest three-jiound bass we 
 iiave seen in the river. The men try to cover their shame by gener-

 ashore on a 'desert island,' and the guide eooks our s])oils for dinner. 
 We lie on the grass and eat our fried lish with the edibles we liave 
 brought with us, and we wash them down with the best of coffee, 
 and, after an hour for digestion, we go for our game again. The 
 excitements of the evening when the different i)artics conic mi with 
 their day's catch are very delightful; and when a boat con\es up or 
 down the stream witli a white flag at her prow, the excitement rises 
 to entlmsiasm. The white flag means a muskallonge ! 
 
 Indeed there is scarcely any kind of innocent sport and pure en- 
 joyment which may not be here indulged in with the most apprecia- 
 tive zest. Nature's most marvelous beauties and man's best works 
 stand side by^ side — a condition of things always most desirable but 
 seldom reached.

 proprietor of tlie

 free use will be " " . 
 
 devoted to the exclusive use of its <;uests. It is 
 rapidly sraininjr an enviable reputation for the liealth- 
 fulness of its waters, and bids fair to soon rival its more pretentious 
 prcdeeessors at the jx.pular watering-i)laees. The reputatic.ii of this 
 S]>ring for health-giving jirojierties is now fully established. ^lany 
 who have partaken freely of its clear, ice-cold medicinal waters, 
 have received permanent benefit. Its surroundings, by the expen- 
 diture of money and time, liave been made more attractive. 
 Luxuriant flowers line the banks of its outlet, while the Spring

 itsflf has lii'iMi covc'ivd l)y a tastoful summer-house, as sliown in the 
 illustration, inakin,<r a jileasiiiit, cool retreat. A little oreck, a iH-rt'eet 
 conservatory of acjuatie and amphibious plants and flowers, windiii;,' 
 in and out with many ahrupt turns, leads to within a few paces of it. 
 On either side of the open water of its channel is an almost tropical 
 j,'rowth of vetretation; water-lilies, pure and white as snow, with 
 hearts of u'olci seeminfjly asleej. on the <rreen he.l of their loaves; 
 yellow-docks; arrow heads, with purple clusters of tiny flowers, yiant 
 builrushes, cat-tails and ferns— all in a hewilderint; tangle of luxuriant 
 i;rowth, at times almost impassible. This Spring is a most valuable 
 ac(iuisition to the TiioiTijANi. Island Housk, and cannot fail to be 
 keenly api>reciated by its guests. The artist lias delineated in a 
 perfect manner the surroundings of the Mineral Spring, with the little 
 stream; also a group of flowers and grasses which grow so luxuriantly 
 in that vicinity.

 PLEASURE TRAVEL TO MONTREAL IN WINTER 
 
 dates from the oixjning of Uw AVin<lsor Hotel. The winter here is more 
 enjoyable than anywhere else in Canada or in the Northern States, and the 
 number of visitors seeking health and jjleasuro increases every season. The 
 capacity of the Winds(>r was never so severely taxed as during the Winter 
 Carnival of last February. The famous Ice Palace lifted its glistening towers 
 on Dominion Mcpiare, facing the hotel, and as the Victoria Rink immediately 
 adjoins the Windsor, the hotel was the centre of attraction during Carnival 
 
 Week

 Long Beach, Long Island. 
 
 The charming climat<' of Long Ihach, Itx cool breezes, the absence of mosqui- 
 toes and the ordinarg />l(igues of summer watering-places, its easg accessibility to 
 JSTeic York, and the class of people that has already contributed to its character- 
 all these have established it as 
 
 THE FIRST OF ALL RESORTS OH THE ATLAMTIC COAST. 
 
 The natund conditions, the topography of the beam, and the tidal flow, hax 
 made the location without a rival in a sanitary point of vimv. The climate is a 
 specific for hay-fever, and for all such stubborn ailments. 
 
 It is now conceded that there is no such bathing-beach anywhere on the se<i- 
 coast as at Long Beach. We are pleased to announce to the children that the inlet 
 for still-water bathing is forming for the aeamn of 1884- The fishing for the last 
 'ttco seasons has been better here than at any other point on the Long Island coast. 
 Boats for rowing, sailing and blue-fishing toill h- provided; and all the diversions 
 for which the south side of Long Island is celebrated will be enjoyed this summer 
 in their fullest degree by the guests at the Long Beach Hotel. 
 
 A large Bowling-edley has been added, which is a constant source of amuse 
 mentfor ladies and children. Hot .salt toater baths. 
 
 This Immense Hotel was Completely Remodeled in 1882. 
 
 The visitor icill find that the enormous vacant spaces of the main floor have 
 been converted to the more direct use of the public by the construction of a handsome 
 parlor and ball-room, a reading-room and reception-parlors, a new and elegant 
 dining-room, and some ten sections of apartments like those in the United States 
 Hotel at Saratoga, and similarly styled " Voltage Suites.'' 
 
 The Hotel will be kept on the American plan, ad the restaurant business will 
 be wholly disassociated from the house and transferred to Point Lookout. 
 
 Theodore Tliomas' Orchestra has been engaged for the season. 
 
 Frequent and Fast Trains through from Hunter's Point and Brooklyn, will 
 be run by the Long Island Railroad, making the time to the Beach in forty-fio 
 niinules, with no change (fears. 
 
 Point Lookout Hotel and Restaurant will be connected with Long Beach Hotel.
