Our News Agents on the Trains and Steamboats, and at our Book Stands in the Railway De])ots. are being constantly asked by Passengers for a Guide to Montreal, with a reliable Map of the City, and in issuing the present Guide, " elV|oqtrea -ictured and -;)esciibed, we havt endeavored to fulfil the wishes of our numcnuis Patrons. Montreal is, however, making such great strides, and enlarging her borders into her beautiful suburbs witii such ^luick and widening circles, that we feel, whilst even a large and bulky volume might fail to fully represent its importance and attraction as a Port and City, our own little Picture Hook will convey to strangers and visitors a very inadecpiate idea of the commercial rank, high social status, and the countless interestingattractions of our highly favored and beautiful City. We will, however, he greatly gratified if our Hook secures some notice from an induhj^ent Public, an, that its iiaiies mav lead to the desire to see and learn more ofoiir fair Metropolis, Influenced and aided by stieh encotiragements, we will trust each year to make otir Guide Book more attractive and use- ful to those who would wish to know nn)re and more of Mont- real, and how best to see her many beauties of City and Country ^ tHe pUeLisHEf^s. * ^V^HZEIsT liTOXJ a-O * n-^ FROIM IVEOM^TRJBJL]:!, REMEMBER THAT THE D TRUNK RY.

'I'he flat part, situated at the base by tlie river side, makes it easy for business ; while the slo|)ing sides of tiie mountain contain the elegant and massive dwellings of thr pr'/sperous merchant and manufacturer. Entering the city by the Canadian Pacific Railway, either to their new Windsor Station or after passing Mile End and ai)proaching Hochelaga, you get a good idea of the city's manufacturing interests by the number of tall chimneys v/ith their volumes of smoke extending heavenward. Here arc situated most of the largest factories of the city. As we ap- proach the business portion of the city we lose sight of the factories, and find ourselves surrounded with long lines of ware- houses and fine stores, the great public and private buildings, church spires and towers, asserting their right to be higher than all other structures, and thus bid the busy world pause at times and look up. The finest view of the city can be had from the mountain. The top is reached by a winding path — a most beautiful drive in winter or summer — and the view from the summit is nothing short of sublime. The city lies at the base, and the majestic St. Lawrence can be seen for miles. Just opposite the city the river is spanned by the great Victoria Bridge, one mile and three-iiuarters long, built by Stevenson iV Brunei, and opened by the Frince of Wales in 1861. Further up the river, at Lachine, the Canadian Pacific Railway have built a new bridge across the St. Lawrence. Beyond the river is a vast stretch of land, absolutely fiat, i.nd bounded by ranges of hills, among which conspicuously risf,> tlie twin mountains of St. Hilaire the higli land mnrks of the L-oquois Hotel. Montreal abounds with striking contrasts. Here are thousands of French who cannot speak one word of English, and thousands of Pjiglish who cannot speak a word of French. We have the same striking contrast in the appearance of the people on the streets. Here are unmistakable descen- dants of the ancient Iro(|uois Indian ; at a turn we come upon. 3. company, who by their dress and talk take us back to the 88 34 DESCRIBED y^ peasant classes of older France ; v.'hile crowding everywhere are ladies and gentlemen of the most appioved modern type, dressed according to the fashions of London, I'aris and New \ork. All the streets round the Bonsecours Market are crowded with carts filled with country produce, and the over- flow finds its way into Jacques Cartier Square. The horses feeding peacefully as they would beside a country hostelry, primitive carts and harness, the habitant piously committing his horse or his basket to the care of God, while he slips into the old church to say a prayer, are not the pictures one expects to find in a great city of the restless New World. A little further west you are in a different latitude. Signs of commerce and modern taste and industrial life abound. St. James, St. Catherine and Notre Dame streets are the principal thoroughfares. Here are situated ■■ome of the finest buildings in the city, notably the ('ity Hall, the l,aw Courts, the magni- ficent church of Notre Dame, the New York Life buildings, the Imperial Insurance buildings, the Bank of Montreal, the stately Post Office edifice, the Standard Life Olficcs, the new Temple buildings, the Mechanics Institute, the St. Lawrence Hall, the Hotel Balmoral, Henry Morgan's splendid new block, Christ Church Cathedral, tlic Queen's Hall, the beautiful new St. James' Methodist Church, the Art Gallery, Erskine and St. James the Apostle Churches. The city abounds in beautiful squares. Here is a corner where we look into Victoria Square ; the crowded streets ; the magnificent cut stone shops, hotels and warehouses. Here stands a fine bronze statue of the Queen, by Marshal Wood, and a beautiful fountain which is very refreshing to look at in summer. Going north up Beaver Hall Hill we find ourselves in what is termed the West End, where we lose sight of all the French names that are so numerous in the down town part. In fact, this is the English part of the city. Here is St. Catherine street, and going west a little further brings us to Dominion Square, this is where the Ice Balace is built during Carnival season. Here is also the Windsor Hotel, the new St. Peter's Cathedral, and several other fine churches. A little further north brings us to Sherbrooke Street, which for 35 the magnificence of its buildings is scarcely surpassed by Fifth Avenue of New York. The grounds include Demesne and Park, — the charms of the country amid the roar and bustle of a great city cen'.re. In winter the sleighing equipages present a most attractive appearance. It is said that in this respect only St. Petersburg can take precedence over Montreal. MONTREAL'S title to the metropolis of British North America comes to her by inheritance. Her right to that title is older, much older, than Queen Victoria's title to the succession of the British Crown. History tells us that Jacques Cartier, who' discovered Montreal, found in 1535, when landed at Quebec, that Montreal, then called Hochelaga, was at that early age the metropolis of the savage state, the capital city of the Indian tribes. His own narrative of the discovery has the charm of romance that surrounds all North American stories. He found Quebec on the 15th of August, 1535, and met Donacona, the lord or king of Quebec, then called Stada- cona. He could not be dissuaded from a visit to Montreal, and from the 19th of September to the 28th he was engaged in sailing as far as Lake St. Peter, where he was compelled by shoal water to leave his ships and take to the boats. He reached his destination on the 2nd of October, having landed at the foot of the island. Having arrayed himself in the most gorgeous finery, he left his boats, and accompanied by twenty mariners and four gentlemen set out for Hochelaga. He was guided by three Indians, and says, in his description of the journey, that " all along he found the way as well beaten and frequented as can be, the fairest and best country that could possibly be seen, full of goodly great oaks, as any in the woods of France, under which the ground was all cuveicu with acorns."' After he had gone about four miles, he was r:iel by one of the principal chiefs, who paid him some honor, made a speech to him, and insisted ii]Jon him taking a rest before he pre- sented him to their great king. This king had no throne but the brawny arms of his braves, and, supported on tiie shoulders of several of these, he received the first Christian. Cartier had taken thirteen days from Quebec to Montreal, which nowadays can be encompassed in five hours by train. He thus describes the town : — 36 Drin k ''R o yal Windsor ^ Ginger Ale, Champagrne Cider. .'. Millar's *« Royal Edinburgh" Ginger Beer.

Cartier would to-day hive seen all this. He would not have been compelled to hurry away on the same day he came. He would have seen, too. how an artificial river the Lachine canal — enabled ships, that could carry his entire fleet on the deck of any one of them, to pass around the Lachine Rapids, and the water turning the machinery of scores of mills upon its banks. Instead of the baiter tor beads and gewgaws in the Mount Royal he saw then, ho would find to- day Banks in Montreal, with a capital of forty-six millions of dollars ; merchants worth millions of dollars to their credit; factories by the score, employing twelve to fifteen thousand workmen, and valued at more than fifty million dollars ; hotels, some of which could house the then whole population of Hochelaga. The Montreal of to-day is to Canada what London is to Great Britain, and Ntw York to the United States. Montreal occupies a specially advantageous position at the head of oceanic navigation, and at the commencement of lake and river navigation, having direct railway communication with all parts of Canada and the United States. Li order to accom- modate the magnificent fleet of ships that come to her port from all lands, the ship channel of the River St. Lawrence has been ^' Pir.TiiR % PICTURED ^*»:.<'.u.:'^.r^:v.r..»^;»>.r.'>::.'«>:.«..:,'t.i,»w/v'j' deepened to twenty-seven feet at tlic lowest condition of the river, and a furllier deepening is now in progress ; in order to achieve this the city had to borrow some three million dollars, and the removal of this debt by the Dominion Government has lifted from her shoulders the last and greatest burden she has had to bear. Inconsequence of this debt the scale of harbor dues imposed was necessarily heavy, giving smaller and in other respects less convenient ports an unfair advantage over Montreal. In compliance, however, with many urgent representations the Federal Govern- ment has assumed the responsibility of this debt. CITY IlALl. (HOTEL »E VILI.E). The city is the terminus of one of the most complete railway systems in the world, 'i'wo divisions of the Gr\ni> Trunk Railway, and various lines run in connection with its magnificent system, afford easy access to the United States and the principal cities of Canada, while that marvellous monument of national enterprise and engineering skill, the Canadian Pacific Railway, truverses the continent from sea to sea, opening up magnificent tracts of fertile country, and developing stores of wealth hitherto unknown, while it is be- 41 PICTURED coming the great highway for intercourse between the eastern and western limits of the old World. In addition to its great importance as the chief port and forwardi'ig station of Canada, Montreal is also the largest MANUFACTURING CKNTRE in the Dominion. Among its indus- tries are Foundries, Sugar Refineries, Tanneries, Silk Mills Manufactories of Hardware, Carriages and Sleighs, C orn THE BANK OF MON I'RKAl., I'i.m e h'Aumi;: Brooms, Woodenwarc, Glass, Paints and Drugs, lulge Tot Is, Locomotives, Steam Engines, Boilers, India-rubber Goods, Printing Piesses, Agiicultural Inv Icmenls, Musical Instru- 42 ments, Paper, Ro])e, Sewing Machines, Types, Pins, Tobaccos, Woolen and Cotton (ioods. Jioots and Shoes, and other smaller industries. There are besides Saw and Flour Mills, Rolling Mills, Lead Works, Brass Foundries, and many other industrial establishments. The manufacuire of Boots and Shoes < mploys about ,^,ooo hands, and the product of the numerous factories is enormous. The largest Sugar Refine- ries in Canada are at Montreal. The large it Cut. on Mill in the country is that of the Hochelaga Cotton Company, at MOLSON'S BANK, Sr. Jamhs Stkeet. Hochelaga. There are two Silk Factories, a large Rubber Factory, many large Clothing Factories, employing in the ag- gregate, 2,500 hands ; and factories for the manufacture of Cards, Boxes, Paints, Soaps, Cements, Drugs, etc., etc. On the canal are Saw Mills, Nail and F:dge Tool Works, Engine and Machine Works, and Rolling Mills. * 43 DESCRIBED % There arc five cstablislimcnis for making Sewing Macliines.

From Montreal to Quebec, a distance of 160 miles, its width varies from one to two miles. From a short distance below Quebec to the Gulf of St. Law- rence it varies from 10 to 35 miles in width. Half way between Montreal and Quebec it widens out into Lake St. Peter, which is 20 miles long and 9 wide. 58 f • describedJ^ At Quebec the tide rises 14 feet, but it ceases to be observed al the lower end of Lake Si. Peter. The depth of the river is so great that the hirgest ocean steamers may be found loading or discharging in Montreal harbor. From Quebec to Montreal the depth, excepting for a distance of 30 miles, mostly in Lake St, Peter, is never less than 30 feet. The work of deei)ening the channel on the flats of that Lake was commenced in 1851 by the Harbor Commissioners of Mont- real, and has been steadily continued, so that now a depth of 25 feet at lowest water has been attained. Owing to these great efforts, the largest ocean vessels are able to reach our l)ort. In carrying on tiiese works 8,500,000 cubic yards had to be removed. The ship channel so deepened is 300 feet wide at its narrcjwest point. Tiie work is being steadily CO itinued and will n.)t cease until a depth of 271/3 feet is atiained.

Tiie distance from Montreal to the Atlantic Ocean is a little under 1,000 miles, or, to be precise, it is 986 miles from Montreal to the Straits of Belleisle. The city is 250 miles above salt water, and it is 315 miles nearer to Liverpool than is the city of New York. One-third of the whole distance to Europe by way of the St. Lawrence is in comparatively smooth water. Westwi'.rdly the distance from Montreal to Chicago by the St. Lawrence system is 1,261 miles, or 158 miles less than the distance from New York to the same city, while the canals of the St. Lawrence system aggregate only 70 miles against 350 miles of artificial navigation by the Erie Canal to Buffalo.

The Harbor. — No visitor to Montreal should fail to walk along the river front, and inspect the wharves and quay. These were designed during the vigorous administration of Lord Sydenham. A solid revetment wall runs along the whole river front of the city, commencing at tiie Lachine canal, and continuing to the Current St. Mary, — a distance of one and a half miles. As the wall forms theouter edge of the river street, that street is open to view from the river for its whole length. Tlie wharves at which the ships discharge are ten feet below the level, so tl;al the pedestrian standing upon the wall and leaning against the j)rotecting rail may see at a glance the whole business of the port spread out below hiui. Close to the canal are the basins for the Allan line of Meamers from ( ilasgow and Liverpool ; then follow steamers from the Maritime Pro- vinces and different FAiropean ports ; then sailing ships ; then the sheds of the London Line of Stermersand the Dominion Line from Liverpool ; then follow the splendid river boats plying between Quebec and Montreal ; then succeed a crowd ofsmaller river steamers, wood barges; and, finally, sailing ships and steamers as far as Hochelaga. Here lie, at a distince of 900 miles from the ocean, vessels from all the port; of the world : fror England, with iron, dry goods, and general goods ; €% 63 ■J. 64 from'__F ranee and the Mediterranean, with wines and groceries ; from Germany, with glass]] and general goods ; from China, with tea — alongside of vessels loading with return cargoes of grain, cattle, lumber, mineral phosphates and other productions of Canada. The wharves are not disfigured by unsightly warehouses, but the river street is as clear as a Parisian quay. The maritime importance of Montreal will perhaps best be illustrated by an enumeration of the regular lines of ocean steamships which trade to the port ; they are : — Allan Mail Line, weekly to Liverpool. Allan Line, weekly to Cilasgow. Dominion Line, weekly to Liverpool. Beaver Line, weekly to Liverpool. Donaldson Line, weekly to Glasgow. Temperley Line, fortnightly to London. Ross Line, fortnightly to London. Great Western Line, fortnightly to Bristol. Furness-Thomson Line, fortnightly to Newcastle-on-Tyne, via London. Elder Hansa Line, fortnightly to Hamburg. White Cross Line, fortnightly to Antwerp. Quebec Steamship Line, fortnightly for ports on the Gulf and Prince Edward Island. Montreal and Acadian Line, fortnightly to St. John's, New- foundland. Black Diamond Line, lo Charlottetown, Pictou and St. John's, Ntld. Bossiere Line, every twenty days to Havre. Jk'sde-i tiiese, there are numerous steamers trading to the port which do not belong to any regular line, 'i'he lleet of river steamers plying to the different towns on the St. Lawrence and its tributaries adds lo the busy ap])earance of the harbor. 'J'he ([uay or rjv^lment wall extends down to the Current St. ^Llry, but the wharves are continued much further down the river as far as the Hudon Cotton Factory. The total length of wharf accommodation is five miles, of which two- thirds is for ships drawing 25 feet of water. The port jios- f).*) |i DESCRIBED " sesses every convenience for loading and despatching ^liips, such as steam elevators for grain and appliances for sliipj)ing cattle. In order to give greater ilespalch the h.irbor is lighted liy the electric light under the l>rush system, so that shi|)s are loaded or discharged at night as well as timing the day. On a market day, that portion of tjie harbor allotted to river craft assumes a very lively appearance. .\[uch of this business is in the liands of the Richelieu and ( )ntario Navi- gation Company, but there are many inde[)endeni boats. That Company has a line of magniticent steamers to (Quebec,, leaving .Montreal every evenin.L; uiion the arrival of the daily steamer froiii the Lake ( )ntario jioits. It has a direct b(Mt for Three Rivers twice a week, a daily boat for Terrebonne, and a boat twice a week for Cornwall. There is also a service on the Richelieu twice a week and u|).)n the V'araaska. These three river boats, with the terry steamers and steam tugs, fully occupy the whai vcs near the IJonsecours market. Tourists who wish to go westward by the boats of th.e Riche- lieu and Ontario Comjjany can avoid the delay of the canals by taking the Crand Trunk Railway to Prcscott or 15rockville. They can leave six hours later and catch the steamboats at those-, jtorts, by this means jjassing through the Tliou'-and Islands and Lake Ontario, and avoiding the heat and dus of the railway cars. It does not answer, however, to take the l)oats when close connections have to be made and time is limited, but to those who have the time, a trip l)y these palace steamers, either Last or West, will be remembered l)y the traveller with the greatest pleasure. •'';''• i ;"%''S?'^i '»'T7**^ DESCRIBED ^iLV2UCStt:.C!:i''»''-!'-«■ 570 CRAIG STREET Corner Place cVArm'-s Hill. — >^^ MONTREAL.

Tourists arc always, struck with this peculiarity; and Mark Twain, in a s])eech at a public din- ner at th-j Windsor Hotel, said that he " never was in a city before where one could not throw a brick-bat without breaking a church window." The action and reaction constantly going on, in a community containing/ an ui^usual number of earnest men of all conceivable shades of ecclesiastical opinion, natu- rally excites a corresponding amount of zeal which has crystal. ized into stone and mortar. There is, however, a vast amount of tolerant feeling in religious matters, which quietly tides over disputes when they threaten to be dangerous, and demon- strates, alike in Protestant and Catholic, the falseness of Rousseau's maxim that " it is impossible to live at peace with people whom one believes to be eternally lost." In the old times, just after the conquest, the Protestants used one of the Roman churches for worship after the morning Mass. For ' 85 W )n- of ilh )ld he or PICTURED ^„.,.„^,.,„.,,,,.,..^„,.,,:»jv DESCRIBED J^ ji: ^'^•j^sjaaxjc.t^.i'. twenty years after 1766 the Church of England people occapied the Church of the Recollets every Sunday afternoon. The Presbyterians used the same church before 1792, and when the congregation moved to their first church in St. (iabriel street, they presented to the priests of the Recollet Church a gift of candles for the high altar and of wine for the Mass, aS a token of good-will and thanks for the gratuitous use of the church. These days have passed away, and every congrega- tion now has its own church. Many of the buildings are very handsome. Commencing with the Roman communion, we take firstly the beautiful church of Notre Dame. JHE ALLiERI BUILDINCS, VlCTOlUA S(j|- aim-,. The Parish Church of Notre Damp, erroneously called by many the Cathedral, stands upon the Place d'.Armes. It is built of cut limestone, in the Gothic style, and is much admired for its plain and simple stateline?s. The length of the church is 255 feet, and its breadth is 134 feet. It will easily accom- modate 10,000 persons ; but when crowded, as it sometimes is, 86 describedJ)3* it nrtiially has contained 15,000 people. The two principal towcTS are 227 feet high, and afford from their summit abroad panorama of the coimtry around. The interior has been re- cently decorated in a somewhat florid manner. Tne carved woodwork of the choir is especially fine. It represents under the various biblical types the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. At Hi:h Mass, when crowded with worshippers, and when the choir is filled with robed ecclesiastics, officiating at the stately ceremonies of the Roman church, the eff^ict is very imposing. 'i'he south-west tower is opened in summer : an elevator is provided, and visito'^s may ascend to the top on payment of twenty-five cents. There are ten bells in the towers, making a c'lime upon which, on great occasions, tunes are played.. Besides these there is a very large one, " Le Gros Bourdon,'' called Jean Baptiste, weighing 29,400 lbs., the largest bell in America. The two largest of the other bells are christened. Maria-Victoria and Edward-Albert-Louis, They weigh res- ])ectively 6041 and 3633 pounds. As for the view from the summit, Mr. D. \V. Howells thus describes it: '• So far as ilie eye reaches it dwells only it])on what is magnificent. All the features of tliat landscape are grand, l>el"w yuu spreads the city, whiclv li.is less that is merely mean in it than any oiher city of our continent, and which is everywhere ennf)bled by stately civic edifices, adorned with, tasteful churches, and skirted by full-foliaged avenues of mansions and villas. Behind it rises the Ijeautiful mountain, green with woods and gar- d' ns to its crest, and flanked on the east by an endless fertile plain, and on the west by another expanse, through which the Ottawa rushes, turbid and dark, to it'^ confluence with the St. Lawrence ; then those two mighty stierms comniinj.'kd flow past tlie city, lighting up the vast campaign, country to the south, while upon the utmost southern verj;e. as on the northern, rise the cloudy summits of far off mountains." St. Peter's Cathedral, — This building, which is now in course of construction, occupies one of the finest sites in the city, at the corner of Dominion Square and Dorchester Street. It is designed to reproduce, on a smaller scale, all those fea- tures of St, Peter's at Rome which are suited to the climate. Jt will have a similar facade in classic style of architecture, and be surmounted by a siinilar dome. The ground plan is cruciform, like its prototype, and the arms of the cross are " # ^7 I ! THE CHURCH OF XOTRE IJA.ME (I'leiich Church,, 1'lack d'AKMKU. 88 1 V DESCRIBED ,|» rounded both at the tribune and at the ends of the transept. It is to have a grand portico surmounted by statues, and small- er domes are to light the side chapels and tribune. The roof, however, will be sloping, in order to throw off the snow. With this alteration ihe church will be a reproduction of the grand Basilica. The dimensions are as follows : — Length of main building 300 feet, portico 30 feet, total length 330 feet, breadth at transept 225 feet, height from pavement to ridge of roof 80 feet, height of dome with lantern, ball and cross 250 feet, dia- meter of dome upon the inside 70 feet, width of nave 40 feet. These dimensions are as near as possible one half of the great Roman church, and still the building will surpass all othe^ churches in Canada as to size. The exterior is plain, but the intention is to make the interior as magnificent as possible, after the manner of Italian churches. The present humble cathedral in brick will no doubt be swept away on the com- pletion of this. The large building in the rear, facing towards the river, is the Bishop's palace. The whole design originated with the late Archbishop Bourget after his church and palace in St. Denis street had been destroyed in the great fire of 1852. Like its prototype it was commenced before the money to finish it was all in hand, and the work is stopped awaiting further contributions, which will no doubt come in due time. -* Christ Church Cathedral, on St. Catherine street, is a- raonument of the taste and energy of the first resident Anglican Bishop of Montreal, Dr. Fulford, whose memorial stands close by on its eastern side. This group of buildings, though in point of size not so imposing as some of the Roman Catholic churches, far surpasses them in unity and beauty of architec- tural style and in correctness of proportion. The Fulford Memorial resembles the much-admired Martyr's Memorial at Oxford, and was erected by public subscription in honor of a man much beloved. The church is built of Montreal lime- stone, faced with white sand-stone brought from Caen in Nor- mandy. Its dimensions are: total length 212 feet, length of transept 100 feet, height of spire 224 feet. The church is built in the form of a Latin cross in the early English style w ^N PICTURED iN».:>.s.,T.^i^"ii.r.

In point of interior decoration the churcli is cold, but lliis effect is relieved to some extent by the colors in the stained glass windows. The western wjidow is very beautiful, as also are those in the transept, and some, but not all, of those in the nave. The capitals of the columns are carved in imitation of different Canadian plants, and the seats in the choir are very handsome. A passage leads to the Chapter House, an octagonal building, harmonious in style, and aiding the gene- ral effect with its broken outlines. Noticeable in the chur( h is the font, a very beautiful work, presented by a paiishioner. In rear of the Cathedral, and facing the same way, are Bishop's Court, the residence of the Bishop, and the Rec- tory, the residence of the Rector of the church. 90 PICTURED (» li-.^tM-iiOvvr DESCRIBED !l^ ■Ht»aCJC^''.?>nj':"^.^jOC.rfj:^'!>c/y St. George's CirikcH. — This church is admirably situated at the south-west corner of Dominion square, at the junctions of Osborne and Windsor streets. The architecture is an adap- t ition of thirteenth century Gothic. Its material is native lime- stone, with the decorative parts in sandstone from Ohio. It has a handsome stone ])orch, the nave is unobstructed with piers, and the roof with its wide span has been much admired. The t wer and spire, which is wanted to complete the design, will b'j shortly built, and will be 230 feet high from ground to apex. The schools in connection with the church meet in a s -parate iiuilding adjoining, which is used for public paro- chial schools as well as Sunday schools. The present edifice wascoiiifleted in 1870; the building in rear of the church facing on Windsor street is the Rectory. St. Stephen's Church. — This is a very pretty church, n )table not only for its architecture, but for the exceedingly convenient plan upon which it is built.

AMONG THK PRINCIPAL ARE THE FOLLOWING: — THE MONTREAL GENERAL HOSPITAL Owes its ftrigin to the philanthropic efforts of a number of ladies, who, about the year 1815, formed themselves into a society, called the " Ladies' Benevolent Society." The inha- bitants entered so heartily into the scheme, that in i8r8 a fund of £1,200 was raised tor the purposes of the Society, and a soup kitchen was opened, where the ladies superintended the distribution ; but more than this was needed, and the necessity of providing for the sick was presented to the public. The citizens determined to proceed with the erection of a building, and on the 6th day i)f June, 1821, die foundation stone of the buildmg (which now forms the centre portion) was laid with Masonic honors by the Right Worshipful Sir John Johnson, Bart., Past Pi /incial Grand Master of Canada. In less than a year the building was finished, and on the first of May, 1822, it was opened for the reception of patients. On the i8th May, 1 83 1, the Hon. John Richardson, the first president of 101 THE CARNIVAL AT MONTREAL, FEH., 1885-TH F. ICE PAT AC E- A SOUVENflR. Photoguapheo uy Mbsshs. W'm.

His friends, de- sirous of erecting some monument to his memory, at first deci- ded to place a cenotaph in Christ Church, but when the sub- scription list was closed, it was found that the amount subscrib- ed far exceeded that required for the work, and as demands for admission to the hospital were greater than its capacity, it was resolved to devote the money thus acquired to the enlarge- ment of the building, by erecting a wing, to be called the " Richardson Wing." In 1848 the widow of the late Chief Justice Reid added the wing known as the " Reid Wing," as a monument to the me- mory of her husband. Fourteen years ago another wing was added in memory of the late Mr. Thomas Morland. The building fronts on St. Dominique street. Many legacies have recently been received, and it is contem- plated to further enlarge the hospital at an early date. During the year 1889 the total number of indoor patients treated in the Hospital was 2,239, ^"^ there were 13,348 con- sultations given in the general out-door department during the same time. The annual cost of the maintenance of this excellent Insti- tution is about $40,000.00. THE HOTEL DIEU Was founded in 1644 by Mdme. de Bouillon, for the recep- tion of the sick and poor, and was situated on St. Paul street, along which it extended 324 feet, and on St. Sulpice it was 468 feet in depth. The building consisted of a hospital, convent and church. Before the establishment of the Montreal Gene- ral Hospital, this was the only place to which the afflicted poor of this city could be sent for relief. It furnished for many years a refuge for the miserable and help for the sick, to whose comfort the sisters devoted themselves with the most jjraiseworthy benevolence. The increased demand for aid rendered it necessary that more extensive premises should be obtained, added to which was the fact that the neighborhood was so quickly built up that it became necessary to remove the hospital to a more open locality. To meet this the present 103 DESCRIBED ^3* extensive premises on St. Famille street were erected. This is the most extensive religio .s edifice in America. It is composed of the church, convent and hospital. The grounds are surrounded by a massive stone wall, the circumference of which is one and a half miles. The physicians of the Insti- tution are the Professors of the French School of Medicine. The surgical cases, for the most part, come under the care of Dr. Kingston, late president of the Canada Medical Associa- tion, and one of the most accomplished surgeons on the conti- nent. Previous to the Conquest the Hotel-Dieu was supplied with medicines and other necessaries by the French Govern- ment ; at present the funds are derived from rents on lands, charitable bequests or donations, and an annual grant from Parliament. THE NOTRE DAME HOSPITAL, In connection with the Laval University, is situated on Notre Dame street, near Dalhousie square. It is open to the sick of all creeds. BOYAL VICTORIA HOSPITAL. With a view of commemorating 1887 as the Jubilee year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Sir Donald Smith and Sir George Stephen, of Montreal, have given a million dollars for the construction and equipment of the Royal Victoria Hospital. The city has given the site — a beautiful slope on the southern portion of Mount Royal Park, and build- ing operations have already been commenced. THE WESTERN HOSPITAL. An Act of Incorporation having been obtained in 1875, a subscription list was opened, and in a very short time upwards of $30,000 were subscribed to build a hospital in the western part of the city, to be called the " Western Hospital," for the benefit of the sick poor, irrespective of creed, country or color. A large block of land was purchased upon the corner of Dor- chester street and Atwater avenue, and upon one corner of I 104 this property the late Major Mills erected a handsome building, costing $13,000, which provides accommodation for about fifty beds. The hospital is doing good work. THE GREY NUNNERY Is a large hospital and nunnery, situated on Guy street, and extending south to Dorchester street. Of the size of the insti- tution we may form an idea from the fact that at present it contains 139 nuns (known as the Sisters of Charity), 37 no- vice?, and 500 inmates, while over 5,000 visits are annually made to the sick and poor of the city, and from the Dispen- sary over 10,000 prescriptions are given to the poor during each year. The patients are chiefly very young children and old people who are helpless and infirm. The establishment is conducted under the entire guidance of the Sisters of the order of Grey Nuns. These good ladies have also a number of other insti- tutions in'the city under their care, viz.: St. Joseph's Asylum and Dispensary, St. Patrick's Ayshim, Hospice St. Charles, Bethlehem Asylum, Nazareth Asylum for the Blind, St. Bridget's Asylum, and St. Joseph's Infant School and Creche. This last mentioned institution, 541 St. James St., opposite the G.T.R. Station, takes care during the day of young children whose mothers are at work. THE PROTESTANT ORPHAN ASYLUM, On St. Catherine street, cares for boys and girls until they are twelve years of age, when they are placed with families, who are bound to report annually on their conduct and wel- fare. PROTESTANT HOUSE OP INDUSTRY AND REFUGE. A large brick building situated on Dorchester Street, near Bleury, where shelter and relief is given to the homeless and friendless poor. A country house for the accommodation of helpless and aged immates has recently been erected on the Molson farm, a few miles east of the city. i|t'' 105 i u 106 i 107 ^ PICTURED THE PROTESTANT INFANTS' HOME, Guy street, receives infants and foundlings, and i)rovides for them till of an age to be placed in families, or adopted. THE HEBVEY INSTITUTE. A handsome stone building on Mountain street, where young children are cared for who have lost one or both parents. ST. PATRICKS ORPHAN ASYLUM, Connected with St. Patrick's Church, contains about 200 inmates. It was founded in 1849 solely for Irish orphans and aged persons. In connection with this Asylum is also an infant school, taught by the Sisters, which is attended by 450 pupils. THE MACKAY INSTITUTE FOR DEAF MUTES. Named after its generous founder, the lite Joseph Mackay, Esq., is situated at Cote St. Antoine, and is a handsome structure. Protestant deaf-mutes are educated here, and also trained in industrial pursuits. THE LADIES' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION Is situated on Berthelet Street. It is a large building sur- rounded by extensive grounds. Children are here educated and provided for till they are of an age to be placed in situa- tions. THE WOMEN'S PROTECTIVE IMMIGRATION SOCIETY receives and looks after the comfort of female immigrants till they can procure situations. Many other charitable and benevolent Institutions exist in the city, to which we have not space to allude. 108 PLACES OF AMUSEMl-NT. THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC, situated on Victoria street, corner of St. Cailicrine, is tlie leading Theatre, and is exceedingly well conliicled, all iis appointmjnls being as perfect as its size permits. THE THEATRE ROYAL, on Cotte street, has been recently altered and much improved internally, and is well managed. THE VICTORIA SKATING RINK is situated on Drumniond street. This building, 200 feet by 80, furnishes a large field of ice, free from o'ostruction. Skating carnivals and masquerades take place freipiently in winter, and it is also frequently used as a concert hall during summer. QUEEN'S HALL, on St. Catherine street, is one of the finest and most commo- dious Halls in the country. It contains a powerful organ. TURKISH BATH INSTITUTE. The Turkish Bath Institute and Homeof Health has become one of the best known public institutions in Montreal. It is centrally situated, being on St. M unique St.. at thj foot of McGill College Ave., and not far from the Windsor hotel. The building is five stories high, towering over the surround- ings, and contains one hundred and fify apartments. T'he bath-;, situated in the first story, are complete in every detail, roomy and luxurious. No baths on the continent are better fitted for the administration of the Turkish or hot air bath, and all forms of hot and cold water bathing in the most effi- cient and enjoyable manner. In the treatment of the sick the baths aie supplemented by massage and Swedish move- ment treatment, together with that strict attention to physio- logical law and nature's simplest means of cure, which the most advanced thinkers in the medical world are now so ear- NEW YORK LIFE BUILDING, THE VICTORIA RIFLES' ARMORY, Cathcart St. r no nestly inculcating. The success of this institute in the treat- ment of the ailing, particularly rheumatic cases and the different forms of blood disease, is undeniable. In 1S89 an Artesian Well, 1550 ft. deep, was added to the attractions of the establishment, and is now yielding an unlimited quantity of a remarkably soft and pure quality of Sulphur water. The im- mense swimming bath of the institute will hereafter be supplied with this valuable medicinal water. A prominent feature of the Montreal Turkish Bath is the accommodation for travellers. About seventy-five rooms are devoted to this purpose. The superior character of the rooms and furnishings, the choice and healthful dietary, and the at- traction of the bath?j have made a great success of the hJtel department of the institute. The sanitarium department is in charge of Dr. B. A. Macbean, M.D., who built the original baths in 1S69. Dr. Macbean is an earnest representative of modern rationalism in the sci Mice of meuici.ie, being the pioneer in Montreal of his school. The business management is in the lands of Mr. F. E.

Twelve months since the above new invention was completed, and since then some hundreds of ladies' and girls' new dresses have been made from It with the most gratifying results. The superior style and appearance of Ladies' Dresses cut by this system commends itself as worthy of notice to ladies who like a high degree of excellence . Mrs. Russell has just returned from Europe, having spent some time in the great centres of fashion, and has secured the services of a talented lady as manager of the workroom, thus getting into a belter position to meet the recjuirements of a fast increasing trade. Some ladies do not forget one important item before the Winter and Spring seasons commence. A grtat many do not think of it at all till ttie changes take place. When dress-makers are hurried over their work and orders come in faster than they can be turned out, lidies' dresses do not get as much consideration as they would if ladies wo aid give their orders a little earlier in the season. As a rule, an elegant costume, superb fit, style and finish, requires time to execute the work, and first-class artists are annoyed at having to be hurried up when a little forethought on the matter would remedy things. ^Lames' Taiioi-inaiie Dresses >> AKE THE LEADING FEATUKE OF THIS SEASON'S FASHIONS.

The St. Lawrence Hall, on St. James street, ranks next to the Windsor, and is the most centrally situated hotel in the city. It is the next building west of the Post Office, and close to all the banks and business offices. Until the Windsor was built, it was the most fashionable hotel. It has been enlarged and improved to meet every want of visitors. THE HOTEL BALMORAL. Hotel Balmoral was erected new during the years 1885-86. It is built of grey stone, and is seven stories high, contains accommodation for 400 guests, and fronts 210 feet on that historic thoroughfare known as Notre Dame Street. The furniture, elevator and general decorations throughout ir. the line of carpets, etc., are rich and handsome. The office, reading and smoking rooms, telegraph and ticket office, news and cigar stands and bar are all on the ground floor, and are laid in marble. It is claimed to be tlie m jst complete hotel in Montreal, and nothing that would add to the comfort or convenience of its guests has beei left out in its construc- tion, official staff or management. The electric fire alarm 116 (>:yi.. v *■■ ■ DESCRIBED „%3* precautions and system em]5loyed here is the most perfect and practical of any hotel on this continent.

An enterprise is being carried out at present, which is to pro- vide Montreal with a set of visible reminders of her history and traditions. Mr. W, D. Lighthall, with the assisianco cf the Antiquarian Society, Roswell Lyman, J. A. U Beaudry, Gerald Hart, aid other well-known friends ofantiquirimisni in the city, is arranging for the erection of twenty or tliiriy mirble tablets on spots of traditionary interest. The position of Montreal as one of the four or five most historic towns in America make? it somewhat a source of wonder that we possess so few monuments or inscriptions ; and it is the ho!)e of these gentlemen to demonstrate what might be done in that direc- tion, and to make a beginning which will, tliey believe, lead to m'ore expensive monuments being erected. The tablets, which are to be of white marble, are to be numbered, so as to be easily traced in their successive order, and the present in- tention is to attach" No. i " to the Custom House, bearing a legend somewhat as follows : '' >fo. 1.

No. 3 will probably be at Frothingham and Workman's lane, as their i)remises stand upon the site of Maisonneuve's house. Tills tablet will also state that St. Paul street is named after him. No. 4 is intended for the site of the old Recollet Church on St. Helen street, and will relate, besides the dates, that the Protestant population worshipped there at one time by the courtesy of the Recollet Fathers. No. 5 brings us to Dollard Line, named after Dollard dcs Ormeaux, and will tell " How Canada was saved " by him in 1663. No. 6 is for the Seminary of St. Sulpice, whose ifoundations date from 1659, and whose order were the original Seigneurs of the Island. No. 7 will be the Church of Notre Dame. No. 8 the present Place d'Armes, relating something of the historical events of which it has been the scene. The fortifications and former gates of the city (Quebec and Recollet) will also come in for recollection. Also the site of the old Christ Church Cathedral, on Notre Dame street; the Court House (Jesuit Barracks), near which stood the town pillory until within the memory of old men ; the Chateau de Kamezay, residence of the early F"rench Governors ; Chateau de Vaudreuil (site on Jacques Cartier square); Dalhousie Square (Citadel Hill); the Champ de Mars, with memories of French, British and American armies ; the house of Dr. Hingston, Sherbrooke street, being the probable site of the original Indian town (Hochelaga) found by Jacques Cartier in 1535; Dorchester street, corner of B.-aver Hall Hill, as being named after Sir Guy Carleton, the great Lord Dorchester, who liter- ally earned, by his energy in 1775 and his Quebec Act, his title of " Founder and Saviour of Canada." — The Dominion Illustrated.

Montmorenci deprived the " Merchants Association " of their charter, and transferred all theii Colonial trade to the Sieurs de Caen. 1623. The DeCaens and the old " Merchants Company" formed a union. 1628. War broke out between France and England; and King Charles I of England gave a commission to Sir David Kirk to conquer Canada, Kirk summoned (Quebec to sur- render, but Cnamplain refused, and he retired. 1629. Louis and Thomas Kirk, brothers of Sir David, appeared with three ships b>;fore Q.iebec and again demanded its surrender. Champlain, finding his regular supplies, ammunition and provisions wellnigh exhausted, surrendered, upon honorable c )nditions, Q.iebec and all Canada into the hands of the British, and then returned to France, The whole of die French settlements at this time were small. The Fort at Quebec was surrounded by a few small houses, and the whole population did not exceed one hundred persons, while at Montreal there were only three or four small log houses. 1633. By the Treaty of St. Germain (1632) Canada was restored to France, and the company became repossessed of its rights. Champlain was re-appointed governor, and brought out with him a number of res[)ectable Colonists. 1635. On December 25th, the Colony suffjred a severe loss in the death of Champlain. His remains were interred in thj settlement he had founded, and his name stands in the annals of Canada as the man who gave success and permanence to French colonization. M. de Montmagny succeeded him as governor. 1640. The peopling and fortifying of the Island of Montreal, wit'.i a view of repressing the incursions of the Irotpiois and for the conversion of the Indians, had occupied the e tire attention of the first missionaries, and the whole of this domain was ceded to a company for that purpose. Many very wealthy ladies in France contributed to the e.xjiense of the undertaking, and also became members of the " Associa- tion of Montreal," which had now increased to about forty- five persons.

On the 8th of May Maisonneuve embarked from St. Michel, near Quebec, where he had wintered, and on the 17th May his little flotilla appeared, a flat-bottomed craft moved by stils and two row boats approached Montreal, and all on board raised in unison a hymn of praise. 1643. In January Maisonneuve set his men to clear a road up the mountain. When this was completed they forme J a procession headed by one of the Jesuits, and followed by Maisonneuve, " bearing a cross so heavy that he could scarcely ascend the mountain," and which he placed there. 1662. February 5th, commenced a most violent earthquake which continued from Febiuary to August. It extended throughout the whole of New France, from Gaspe at the mouth of the St. Lawrence to beyond Montreal, also in New F^ngland, Acadia, and other places more remote ; but alihougii the whole face of this country was convulsed, tliere was not a single life lost. 1663. Canada was changed into a royal government, and a council of State was nominated to co-operate with the Govern- ment in the administration of affairs. This council consisted of the Governor, the Bishop of Quebec, and the Intendent, and four others to be named by them, one of whom was to act as attorney general and anothe'^ as clerk. 1664. May 28th, Canada was again separated from the French Crown and placed under the " West India Company." 1675. The Crown again resumed the governmentof Canada, and the charter of the Company was revoked. 1689.

DcNonvillc was recalled, and the Government of Canada was entrusted for the second time to the experienced hands of Count de Frontenac, who landed at Quebec on the 1 8th October, amidst the heartiest demonstrations of joy. 1690. In August General Winthrop marched on Montreal, while a fleet of vessels under Sir William Phipps was to proceed to capture Quebec ; but failure of supplies com- pelled Winthrop to retreat with his army, and Frontenac was enabled to throw all his force into Quebec for its defence. The Fleet reached that city on the 5th October, and demanded its surrender in the name of King William. Phipps was an- swered by Frontenac, " I do not acknowledge King William^ and I will answer your summons by the mouth of my cannon." An attack was made, but the English were defeated and retired in great confusion. 1691. A large body of Iroquois assisted by the English advanced along the Richelieu to attack Montreal, but they were repulsed by De Callieres. 1693. Frontenac gathered an army at Montreal for the purpose of marching into tliC country of the Mohawks, and punishing th.em. Major Schuyler of Albany started with 500 men to aid the Mohawks, and compelled Frontenac to retreat to Montreal, where he arrived on the 17th March after suffer- ing much from fatigue and hunger. 1696. In July Frontenac started from Montreal with about 1,500 men, to annihilate at one blow their troublesome neighbors the " Five Nations"; the Indians, however, eluded the main body of his army, and cut off two detachments with great loss to the French. 1698. Frontenac died, and De Callieres was appointed governor, his place as governor of Montreal being filled by the Marquis de Vaudreuil. 1700.

On July 26ih. N'audreuil sent an expedition to attack the Knglisli in the New Kngiand settlements, but the Indian portion deserted and so reduced the number that no advantage could be made by the I'rench. They, however, attacked a small village, and acted wiih such great cruelty towards ilie unfortunate inhabitants, that the people of New England called loudly for the capture of Canada as the only means of safety from similar outrages. Colonel Vetch was commissioned by Queen Anne to attempt the capture of Montreal and Quebec, and immediately on his arrival at New \ ork he connnenced jireparations for invading Canada, by way of the Richelieu. J}ut Vaudreuil, receiving intelligence of the danger, ordered de Ramesay, governor of Montreal, to proceed with a strong detachment to Lake Champlain. He left on the 28lh July, 1709. I'he French scouts brought the intelligence that the enemy, 5,000 strong, were on the march. The Indians refused to advar ce further, and the army retreated to Montreal. The alarm 01 the Frenc'i was soon quieted by the news that the English ai.ny had '.etired, and the expected fleet had not been sent to Canada, but had been ordered on other service. 1 7 10. Montreal was again in danger. Britain had not yet abandoned the idea of humbling the French power in Amer- ica, and another plan was laid to capture Canada. A fleet was to attack Quebec, whilst General Nicholson with 4,000 Provincial Troops and 600 Indians prepared to move upon Montreal. The naval expedition failed through the cowardice of its commanders, thus compelling Nicholson to retreat. 17 13.

De Vaudreuil did not commence his duties under very favorable circumstances and " was during his administration that those events tov place which led to the carrying out of the preparation for hnally destroying the power of France in America. The Fnglish determined to conquer Canada by siiniiltaneousiv attacking Quebec, Fort Niagara, nnd the Forts at Tu onu'ea.ga an.l Crown Point. To the army under Wolfe and ii,c lien under Saunders was assigned the attack on Quebec.

The articles under which Montreal surrendered were highly honorable to de Vaudreuil, who exacted to the utmost what he could possibly expect to obtain for the peoj'le he had pre- viously commanded.
