No wonder the first of the United Empire L«oyal- ists, having struggled up the rapids in rude bateaux from Montreal, thought he had reached his promised ,nd when he arrived at the foot of the Lake of the rhousand Isles and landed upon the present site of oeau^iful Brockville. i e had given up his comfortable Colonial home in New England rather than forsake hi&xonnet^ion with Old England ; had brought liis wiffe and child- ren through forests and hardships to Canaaa ; had returned himself to fight throu|^hout the war against many who had been firm friends until the flame of rebellion had broken out, and, when, all was lost, had made his way to Canada to commence life once more, with nothing but stout hands and heart where- with to hew out a new home for himself and those he loved. Among the American Islands of the St. I^awrence. RrotkiiHf Navigation Company. Upon the site sele<5ted has xrisen a city as charm- ing as any in Canada — " Brockville," as christened by Canada's hero, Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, and the " City of the Thousand Islands," as she is designated by many tourists and visitors. Here the St. Lawrence flows majestically sea- ward ; a body of th>. purest water, nearly two miles wide, and averaging an hundred feet in depth. The flow past a city of such a stream would of itself form a charm sufficient to attraifl thousands, but, dotted as it is with many beautiful i.slands, the situation of Brock\'ille is beyond conipar;.son. Kevere Houk, Brockville. Here is an ideal spot in which to spend one's summer holidays. The yachtsman may sail to his heart's content upon the clear bosom of the old St. Lawrence eastward of the city, while the canoeist may cruise among the lovely islands above, thirty of which have been purchased from the Indians and preserved as a public park. Under the cool shade of these he may idle away the hours, gaining the much needed rest. Or on these islands the pleasure of picnic parties may be enjoyed, or from them he may plunge into the green depths and refresh him- self by bathing. At Brockville good hotel accommodation can be obtained at the Revere House, which is well equipped and conveniently situated. CVv 0/ Ikf Thimsand /stands. iTTfTF!! A PKW OP OUR RESIDENCES.

These cottages extend for a dis- tance of upwards of seven miles, more or less scit- tcred from one another. Ottawa and Montreal citi- zens have been attraded by the charms of the situa- tion, and have here built for themselves summer residences. Uljr Bajp, at Hillcrnt. i|i the BrockTillc Park. To provide ea.sy and plea.sant means of access to the city for these summer residents, the Brockville Navigation Company has an excellent ferry ser\-ice, running four round trips per day between Brockville and Union Park, a charming resort seven anc^ a half miles up the river, stopping en route at five con- veniently located wharves. It will be noticed in the time bill that the steamer leaves Union Park at 7.15 a.m., thus bringing the business men and 1 • keters to Brockville at 8.00. At 9.30 a.m., 1.30 p.m. and 4.15 p.m., round trips are run to Union Park and return, occupying nearly two hours in making the trip, and affording as pleasant a little sail as can well be imagined. A pretty and circuit- ous ro.",te among the islands is taken, and many visi- tors to Brockville enjoy one or more of these trips daily.

On Tuesday of each week in July and August, the staunch and swift steamer ' ' Brockville ' ' makes a trip of sixty-five miles, for which she was espe- cially designed, and which has become famous as the finest trip on the River St. Lawrence. It is de- signated as the "Trip Around the Horn." Leav- ing Brockville at 9.30 a.m., with ah orchestra on board, the handsome and commodious craft runs up the river (westerly) a distance of thirty miles, -:.X.->-w^^^S^S^5SS!^5S steamer Brockville. entirely through Canadian waters, calling at al points along the Union Park route, at Poole's Resort, a famous fishing summer hotel, eighteen miles above Brockville, and at the pretty little Canadian village of Rockport (two miles further west), where is situated a popular hostlery known as the Island View House, and thence through what is perhaps the prettiest group of islands in the St. Lawrence, called the Carnegie group. The tourist has been carried through the prettiest and most pidturesque Canadian channels, where the islands are much the same as Nature made them. He has been through narrow passes where no other steamer of the same size as the ' ' Brockville ' ' tra- vels. Now the course is dire(5led across the river to American waters, and the .scene changes, for the ^ -^ I e a 1 a B'ockville Navigation Company. tourist comes suddenlj- among a number of fashion- able watering-places and islands, upon which mil- lions of dollars have been spent in the eredtion of magnificent summer homes of wealthy Americans. It is about time for luncheon, so (although a lunch may be obtained on board) a stop of three-quarters of an hour is made at Thousand Island Park, a veritable city of summer cottages. From Thousand Island Park to Alexandria Bay, six miles easterly (we are now^ ' ' around the horn' ' ) , the islands are all built upon, and tlie skill of archi- tedls and landscapers is now seen in varied forms. Millions of dollars have been speht upon these islands by wealthy Americans from various States A Kegatta Day at Brockville. of the Republic, among the most striking of which may be noticed the Pullman Castle, at which the celebrated Pullman family of Chicago congregate each summer. To give a list of the names of mil- lionaires who have built summer residences upon these islands would occupy much space, and would give but little idea of the appearance. Among these islands, also, has been eredled the Thousand Island Club, a magnificent building ere(5led by its members, all of whom are supposed to be mil- lionaires. It may be remarked that in running through these islands, the channel taken by the steamer "Brockville" is varied from the regular channel, and a view of these magnificent buildings and islands is furnished which cannot be obtained upon I 1 lO Brockville Navigation Company. any of the regular passenger steamers. The ' ' Brock- ville" winds in and out among these islands, in many cases going so close to them that one can almost jump ashore ; but yet the passengers are assured perfe<5l safety, becaase the management has taken precautionary measures, at some expense, to lay out this trip for their patrons. Alexandria Bay is the Mecca of the Thousand Islands, and is one of the most famous summer resorts on this continent. Here the steamer stops for abou t an hour, and the time is pleasantly passed by her passengers wandering around the magnifi- The War Canoe Crew of the Bohemian A. A. A. of Brockville.

On leaving Alexandria Bay, the steamer passes through another group of beautiful islands, and, turning her course northward, again runs across to the Canadian channel. The trip home is now quickly made, and Brockville is reached at six o'clock sharp. WEEKLY OGDENSBURG TRIP.
