'he road bclwcen liulfalo and Xiauara Falls is a ..-k pavement and from Xianara Falls to Hamilton is macadam. The section between .Xiaijara Falls and Hamilton has been designated by the Pro- vincial Minister of ['ublic *Vorks of Ontario for im- mediate im|)ri)Vemcnt wh will result in a concrete road beinti constructed. ' road between Toronto and Hamilton has recently been completed ami is of concrete. Tourists arrivinfi from the Fast and desiring to take the Canadian Tours should, on approaching liulfalo, \. Y., proceed West on Main .Street until reaching the Xiajjara Falls Houlevard. The XiaKara Falls Uoulevard turns Xorth from Main Street about S miles from the business center of liulfalo and is plainly marked. The tourist should then follow the Houlevard to XiaKara Falls, X, V., en .ssinK the I'pper Steel Arch Bridge, funng directly to The Clifton at Xiagara Falls. Ontario. Tourists arrivinj! at Buf- falo from the West and the South may pa.ss through the city of Buffalo to the Xiajjara Falls Boulevard or may follow the Niagara River as far as Ferry Street where they may cross the Xiagara River by ferry to the Canadian side and proceed down the Canadian Boulevard which follows the River all the way to The Clifton. ('(iiiaditin Til THK Cl.lKTdN. NiAl I Falls. Ostakio The Clifton is beautifully located on a hill facing tiie American Falls and overlooking the Horse- shoe Falls, and adjoins Queen Victoria Parl<. The Park contains a wonderful display of native and exotic trees, shrubbery and flowers. The Clifton is a modern semi-firepi. .if, first-class hotel with 225 rooms with baths, operated under the direction of the United Hotels Company of America, and is rec- ognized as being one of the world's famous hotels. It was built by the power and transportation com- panies centering at Xiagara Falls, for the purpose of affording to the travelling public desiring to visit the woi.^ers of Niagara, a safe, comfortable, and luxu- riant place of temporary abode. The cuisine of the hotel has become famed for its excellence, and the beauties and wonders of the Falls, the Rapids, and the River are given an added attraction through the facilities afforded by The Clifton. The main office of the Canadian Tours is located in the hotel and all in- formation which the tourist will require respecting motor trips in Canada will be freely given and the motorist sup- plied, without ex- pense, with road books and maps, and arrangements are also made, with- THK ItoTrNIlA, THK Cl.lPTOV.

Country Club at Lewiston Heights a new 18-hole golf course just completed and described below. The Falls of Xiagara is recognized the world Thk amkkiian ani> Canadian Falls over as the grandest natural scenery on the American Continent. The American Falls is 167 feet high and 1,000 feet wide, and the Horseshoe or Canadian Falls is 15fl fe..'t high and 2,600 feet wide. The estimated volume of water flowing over the Falls is about 224,000 gallons a foot per second, which, when con- verted into kinetic energy, is capable of producing upwards of 5,000,000 horse power. In the year 1725 the waters of the Falls were first u-sed for power, a saw mill being built to saw lumber for the construc- tion of Fort Xiagara. Sufficient water is now used to develop approximately 600,000 horse power, and additional plans contemplate a further development of about 500,000 horse power, but even with the additional water taken for this economic purpose no appreciable loss of scenic beauty or grandeur will occur. Even the River, without [he Falls, would be reckoned one of the famous rivers of the world ; but, with the enchanting beauty and solemn grandeur presented by the Falls and Rapids, no Ameri- can or Canadian can afford to not fully acquaint himself with the history of this wonderful natural Co II ml id II Toiir.i phenomenon, and view the Falls, the Rapids, and the River at leisure.
