 •Muskoka Lakes- 
 
 Far from the city's toil and heat. 
 
 By waviiie nieadow. vine-clad hill, 
 By verdant forest, ripping rill, 
 Bv rock-girt isles, where sea-^ulls meet. 
 We come, thy lovely shore to greet. 
 
 The passing cloud, the sky's pale bine. 
 
 Red berries set in fronds of green. 
 
 Fern, rock and moss, fair mimic scene 
 'Tween arching elm and ancient yew. 
 In panoramic beauty view. 
 
 " Well, what do you think of it? " a returniiij; lUiffalo tourist was 
 asked by a newcomer on Muskoka Wharf, one afternoon last season. 
 
 " The trouble is," said the other slowly, "that when I tell them of 
 it at home, I can't make them believe it. It will be like the big fish 
 that was not caught. I couldn't tell half the beauty of it all." 
 
 " I second that," said an older man who stood by. "We talk a 
 great deal of the Scottish lakes. The Scottish lakes do not surpass 
 these. I have seen them all. And these are right at our door. " 
 
 In the little group coming back, were half a dozen college boys 
 from New York State, all bronzed and sun-burned, and all bare- 
 headed. For days, the Buffalo visitors saw men and boys sitting on 
 the decVs if the lake steamers, or canoeing among the islands of 
 the Mub. .a lakes, bareheaded in the sun. The clear air of the 
 mountain lakes, or something else, seemed to render them proof 
 against sunstroke in the hottest weather. On the docks at Muskoka 
 Wharf, and in the thousand coves where the steamers put off and 
 took on pas,sengers, the August sun proved itself, but even when the 
 lake lay still as a millpond as far as the eye could find a way among 
 the islands, there was an invigorating freshness in the air.

 II is a wilderness of contrasts. Kijjhly jier cent, ol the visitors ti 
 tlie Miiskoka country are Americans as they call all the south side 
 of the tariff line, yet it is a land of low prices I)olhir-a-dav hotel~ 
 are •' not so bad," and one that lakes two dollars is distinctly swell. 
 First-class meals are also served on the boats of the Mnskoka Naviga- 
 tion Company, at reasonable rates. 
 
 On the boats, you will realize nii.st forcibly that this is fairy land. 
 It is the fairy land of the sVa^k You will enjoy the wildest scenes 
 from the comfortable vantaj;e Kfo"'"' of luxurious civilization. I-'or 
 those who want the pure savagery of nature, there is the Mn.skoka 
 river and the Moon river, einptyinj,' these lakes (throuj^di forests, that 
 no one but an Indian or hunter ever troill into r,iorj;ian H.)\ : but the 
 four hundred isl.mds set in these deep lakes, with rocky sides that 
 plunge into the blue-black waters of Mnskoka, or the amlier flood of 
 Joseph or Rosseau, to a depth of hundreds of feet, and rise as high, 
 
 crowned with white 
 birch and maple, and 
 the fringes of arbor vit;i 
 or white cedar, are wild 
 enough for most cit\ 
 dwellers. Von will run 
 so close to these ricky 
 walls, as to be in their 
 shadow at nnon, ami 
 must do so sometimes 
 to find a passage where 
 the waj- seems shut in 
 till the boat's bow 
 points a course, an<l you 
 can breathe the air of 
 these rocky headlands, 
 sitting at a comfort- 
 laden table, with flow- 
 ers and bruscpie najiery 
 and all the rest, and the 
 blue or amber waves 
 lapping the walls of 
 your dining-room 
 just outside the open 
 windows. 
 
 There are no mos- 
 quitoes in Mnskoka. 
 The reason is plain : 
 there are no lowlands. 
 The waters are most 
 teijipting to real bathers, and to the lovers of boating, fishing and 
 -swimming. Kvery cottage on the islands (and there are at least as 
 many cottages as islands) has its .sail, and canoes f birch and 
 spruce abound. 
 
 The beautiful city of Toronto is the objective point for most of the 
 extensive tourist travel that will go up into the " Highlands" during 
 the season -f 1901. Here are first-class hotels and restaurants, and all 
 kinds of supplies for the angler, sportsman and camper. One of the 
 principal hostelries is the (Jueen's Hotel, an old-e.stablished house, en- 
 joying both an .American and Knropean reputation. It is delightfullv 
 situated on Front street, overlooking Toronto Bav and Lake Ontario. 
 Klectric cars pass the door. The yueeu's has long enjoved the 
 exclusive patronage of distinguished foreigners. The hotel has been 
 under the management of Messrs. McC.aw and Winnett for the last 
 thirty years. The Queen's Hotel .at Tnronto has been thoroughlv 
 renovated and improved, and an extension of fifty rooms was added 
 recently. 
 
 The Queen's Royal Hotel is delightfullv located in a private park 
 at Niagara-ou-the-I,ake, at the mouth of the Niagara river, where it 
 empties into Lake t)ntario, and directly opposite Fort Niagara, N.Y., 
 
 Webb's Restaurant, Toronto.

 where three companies of the regular infantry are <|uartere(l, tojjether 
 with their fine band. The (Jiieens is one of tlie most delitjlitful 
 places to t)e founti to ei.jov a vacation. Disciples of Isaak Walton 
 will find excellent black bass fishinj; over the shoals of the mouth of 
 the river, or under the frownin;; ramparts of the American fort, where

 is perhaps as good sport as may be found in this country. Goo<l 
 j;olf links, boatinj.;, bathinj?, canoeing, tawn tennis and other sports 
 are indulged in here, and the spot is one that can be recommended 
 to anv one seeking recreation, rest and change. 
 
 Oiie of the principal restaurants in Toronto, and one that is re- 
 commended, is the well-known establishment of the Harry Webb 
 Companv, situated at 66 and 6S Yonge street, in the heart of the 
 liusiness' portion of the city. Meals are served here in rechercht 
 style, at moderate prices, and the acconimo<lation is for both ladies 
 and gentlemen. . , ,. • 
 
 Another of the f ivorite hotels of Toronto for the tourist public is 
 the Arlington, corner King and John streets. It is a well-known and 
 attractive hostelrv of (piiet degree, offers many attractions to the 
 tourist, and is esseiiliallv a summer hotel. The frontage of this house

 is one of ^iKHt beauty, its broad pia//.a ami lawn beiiijj profusely 
 <lecorate(l with flowers and shrubs. It has nil the modern conven- 
 iences, with special summer rates, which are moderate. The fur- 
 nishinj;s of this hotel are of choice desi>;ns and homelike comforts, 
 the rooms are larjte and bright. The hotel is situated on one of the 
 principal thoroughfares of Toronto and within easy distance of all 
 tlie principal points of interest. The cuisine appointments and 
 management are first class, with goo<l table and prompt .service. The 
 Toronto Klectnc Street Railway cars pass the door, and all points in 
 Toronto and vicinity are easily reached by this mode i>f conveyance. 
 Courteous and polite officials, and a desire to please all guests, make 
 this hostelry one of the best that can be chosen in the city of Toronto. 
 
 In the fur line, the establishment of Messrs. J. W. T. Fairwcather 
 & Co. is reconmiended. 
 
 Coming up to Muskoka from Toronto, you pass through smiling 
 Ontario, and will note that the crops arras good as in Niagara county, 
 and wheat has suffered less blacking b; mi ; tlien, skirting beautiful 
 Lake Simcoe for twenty or thirty miles, passing through AUaiidale 
 and IJarrie, you come to a land of black slumjis and .sheep, and then 
 a wilderness of rocks and rapid streams, and pine and birch and 
 wonderful ferns, and then you arrive at Gravcnhurst, a thriving 
 town on a hill with much lumber below, and many smoking sawmill 
 furnaces that feed on the slabs and sawdust. 
 
 The Hotel de Windsor, at Gravenhurst, is the home of the 
 tourist, and is ably managed by the proprietor, Mr. D. B. LaFraniere. 
 For courteous treatment and good satisfaction, the Windsor is unex- 
 celled. The rooms are large and airy, the cuisine is excellent, and 
 the hotel I'.as all modern and sanitary improvements. Good fishing, 
 hunting and boating in the vicinity. Terms, $i.(.X) to $1.50 per day ; 
 #7.00 per week. 
 
 The Albion Hotel, also situated at Gravenhurst, is specially 
 adapted to family and tourist -avel. It accommodates fifty guests, 
 and is well appointed in a.l its departments. 
 
 From Gravenhurst, the distance to Mu.skoka Wharf is about a 
 mile, and here the steamers of the Muskoka Navigation Company 
 are taken for the trip up the lakes. The trains of the Graiui Trunk 
 Railway System run direct to the steamer wharf. 
 
 Eigiit steamers make up the fleet. The " Nipissing " (side-wheel) 
 and ■■ Medora," a fine propeller, carry the through travel. The 
 "Kenosha" makes a daily excursion to Port Cockburn, connecting 
 
 HO'.el tie Windsor, Criivciiliiir^i

 with steamer " Islander" at Port Carliiix, for Rosseau, on Tuesdays, 
 Thursdays and Saturdays. The "Muskoka" runs from Hracebridjie, 
 a dozen miles up Muskoka river on the east, across Lake Muskoka to 
 Bala, daily. The .steamer "Islander" leaves Ilala, flaily, for Lake Ros- 
 seau, and the staunch and swift steamers "Ahmic" and "Charlie M." 
 are available for special parties or emerjjency srr.-ice. The other 
 steamer is the "Oriole," running on the Bala route. (St-o-liim-ttihle

 When you are on the deck of the well-appointed steamer, and the 
 hajfgage has all been stowed away, the cables are loosed, ami you 
 swing out on your voyage throuj»li fairy-Iaii<l. Tlie shores of the

 \ou, of inlands little and big, near and far, rocky or covered with 
 luxuriant green to the edge of the blue water. And the only sign of 
 human life is here and there a red pe.ik among the trees, or a tiny 
 pier and bo it-house at the edge. Some one has said that Muskoka 
 was filled each \ear, but you cannot till Muskoka. Six days of the 
 week during the summer, tlic crowded express empties its human 
 freight on to the Muskoka Navigation Company's steamers, but when 
 you look alx)ut for these people, thev have vanished as completely as 
 if the earth had swallowed them. .At a general call, as for instance, 
 H regatta, they appear like Roderick Dh.i's army, "on right, on left, 
 al)ove, below." But incatitinie you dash on, with the breeze in your 
 face, for hours together in this worlil of lonely beauty. Island folds 
 back on island, iu innumerable shades of rich sunlit green, every 
 larger one with two or ilirt^ smaller ones tucked away in the pocket 
 iif its blue skirt, till the distant ones, veiled in mist, blend with the 
 sky; island on island, from the large tract of mar- wooded acres 
 to the stubborn little rock thr.i.sting up its brown head with one 
 rugged storm-beaten pine. Lake Rosseau is supposed to be lovelier 
 than Lake Muskoka, and Lake Joseph lovelier than all. Some prefer 
 Kos.seau's placid and ([uiet beauty to Joseph's prettiiiess. 
 
 A sunlit morning in Muskoka is the most re-assuring thing I 
 know. Kverything is solid fact, the ardent. unconi]iromisiug blue 
 liver head, the rippling diamoud-dusled blue beneath, the unclouded 
 -uii, the cosy pincushiony islands, the practical-sounding lap against 
 them. Nothing is negative; "grief seems but a vision of madness, 
 life's keynote peals from above. " Next morning, perhaps, you

 horizon, lies furrow i\]m'.\ furrow of a passion.ite purple, and between 
 these and the silver lake, stands the steady phalanx of rich and sober

 ,1 richnes?. and a delic.icy of coloring unknown in less favored spots.

 For further particulars, apply to Edward Prowse, Beaumaris, Ontario. 
 Beaumaris is the connecting point for Bala. 
 
 Bala is a picturesque spot, and lies at the foot of Muskoka Lake 
 and at the head of the Muskosh river, and is one of the favorite 
 resorts on the chain. It is noted for its water-fall, and is the starting 
 point for the Moo.- and Muskosh rivers, where fin. sport may he hacl 
 both in huntin); and fishing. Deer in season are plentiful, and 
 partridge abound in the vicinity. Fine bathing is to be had here, and 
 the boating is excellent. 
 
 At Camp Sutton Post-office, Jas. H. Stewart offers comfortable 
 accommodation at the Stewart House, a resort located in one of the 
 prettiest parts of Lake Muskoka, within easy access of Muskoka

 on its route to the head of the lake. The waters of this lake seem 
 to be clearer than Rosseau or Muskoka. The scenery is very similar 
 to the preceding lakes. On this lake, i..ere is companionship for 
 those wiio seek it, and privacy for those who desire it. .\ny one wno 
 can stand on any of the innumerable islan.ls on a clear summer s

 The sandy t)eacli, on the shores of this point, is considered one of the 
 t)est in the Muskoka district, and is safe for children. A lawn-tennis 
 court anti good boating are other attractions provided guests at this 
 resort. The rates are from #1.25 per day, and from J7.C0 to f 10.00 
 per week. Acconinio<lation for seventy-five people. 
 
 After leaving Hamil's Point, the steamers of the Muskoka Navi- 
 gation Company proceed through some of the finest scenery in this 
 grand pleasure ground, and. as they speed on their way, the stillness 
 of the waters is broken at times by the wild, alternate chuckle of the 
 loon, the plaintive mew of the gull, or an occasional screech of 
 the eagle. Skirting; around one island but to find another barring the 
 wav ; around it and yet another, until expectation dies ; leaving 
 the matter of escape to the captain, the eye feasts itself on the 
 ever-unfolding panorama. 
 
 The steamer is now approaching Barnesdale, another favorite 
 resort for the sportsman and tour >t. A very comfortable and co.ii- 
 mo<lious house is here situated, *' t Barnesdale House^Mr. John J. 
 Barnes, proprietor. Mr. Barnt* also the postmaster .it this point. 
 Within six miles of this location are lakes Healy and the Kah-Pee-Kog 
 waters, that are noteii for the abundance an<l size of the fish. The 
 hotel has accoinmodation for thirty guests, has a good sandy beach 
 directly opposite for bathing, and gocxl boating and fishing in close 
 proximity. This is also a popular resort for the hunter, and during 
 the open season for deer, from sixty to seventy carcases are shipped 
 from this wharf. Mr. Barnes has made extensive improvements to 
 his house during the past year, and is in a position to take good care 
 of his guests. An attraction at this point to the lover of the rod is its 
 utarness to one of the best fishing grounds in the Muskoka country, 
 and the means of reaching it has t)een so improved this year that 
 there is no difliculty in reaching your <lestination. Six-mile lake is 
 the fishing ground referred to and a good road has been tnaile from 
 Barnesdale to this lake. Black bass weighing from two to seven 
 j)ounds are abundant, and capital sport may be enjoyed at any time.

 Those who come recommend it to their frienJs. So each year, as 
 its iMjauties and advantages become known, the stream of visitors 
 increases. Little, however, has Iweii said of it as a hay-fever resort, 
 anil thousands of sufferers are unaware that there is entire iminunity 
 from it here. One of the many queer things about hay-fever, is that 
 so many people look on it as a joke, and the unfortunate victim 
 receives little or no sympathy, except frcm his fellow sulTerers. It 
 may, however, be interesting to some to know just what hay-fever is. 
 
 The symptoms are those of a severe cold in the head. The eyes 
 and nose' are in constant state of eruption, accompanied by violent 
 sneezing. During this stage the suffering is intense. The inflamed 
 eves and nostrils are painful to behold, while the strain upon the 
 system is remarkable. The appetite is lost, and all through the body 
 rims a languid, tire<l feeling that makes actix-ity difficult. 
 
 In the second stage, the membrane becomes swollen, and there is 
 a consecjuent stoppage of the nasal passages that diverts the torture to 
 another channel. To breathe is exceedingly difficult, and at night 
 sleep is practicallv impossible. 
 
 The third and' last stage is the worst of all. By this time, the 
 disease is located in the throat, and what is practically bronchitis sets 
 in. The coughing prevents sleep, and until the disease departs, which 
 it usuallv does with the advent of frost, the suffering is great. From 
 the tenth to the fifteenth of August, is the usual time for it to 
 commence, and its duration is about two months. 
 
 A change of climate is recommended by physicians, where rag- 
 wted and honevsuckle do not grow , as these and many other flowers 
 and grasses aggravate the disease. Many northern parts along the 
 shores of some of the great lakes are recommended, but in all these 
 places the results are dependent on the direction of the wind ; as, 
 should the wind happen to be blowing off shore, as it fretiuently does, 
 there i; no relief. Here, in the Highlands of Ontario, however, the 
 directicm of the wind is immaterial. 
 
 THE HUNTING SEASON. 
 
 The deer hunting season in the Highlands of Ontario, is conMder- 
 ablv shorter in duration than any other of the localities where deer 
 are' found in abundance, the open season being from November 1st 
 until November 15th of each year The Grand Trunk Railway system

 Instead of decreasing, the .leer are increasing thiouKhout thiswhslrut. 
 The three prime factors that will furnish sport hunting deer for maiiv 
 vears to come, are : Protection to ilecr by the new. dense underKr.iwth 
 'which is replaoiuK the cleared timlier tracts ; a license system which 
 compels recoRiiition of the close an.l open seasons : and wardens who 
 re-pect the government and enforce the law. It is estimate.1 that 
 dnriuK the .leer liuutinK season of 1901. November is. to November 
 15th, ii.«t less than cinht or nine tliousiind deer were killed.
