MONTREAL. SRN^HE commercial metropolis of the Dominion, and the most popu*^ lous of Canadian cities, is situated at the head of navigation for ocean vessels, 540 miles from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on the Island of Montreal, which lies between the two great rivers of the north, — the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa. The Island is about 30 miles in length, and at its widest some 10 in breadth. With the exception of the mountain, which rises to the height of about 550 feet, it is nearly level, and forms one of the most fertile districts of the Dominion, the climate being paiiiicularly favorable to the growth of nearly every kind of grain, vegetable and fruit. The settlement of the town was originally determined by the first explorer, Jacques Gartier, in 1535, at which time an Indian village (Hochelaga) occupied the spot.. On beholding the beautiful scenery from the top of the mountain, Jacques Gartier gave it the name of Mount Royal, which, slightly modified, it still retains. It was under French rule until 1760, when it passed into the hands of the British. In 1775, Montreal was taken possession of by General Montgomery, the Gommander of the American forces, who used the square in front of the old French Church as a parade ground, giving it the name of Place d'Armes, which it still retains. The advantage was short lived, as he soon after met his death while gallantly leading his men under the walls of Quebec. Montreal was at this time divided into upper and lower town. The upper town, being on a level with the present Court House, contained the chief buildings, such as the Palace of the Governor, the Convent, Seminary, Parish Church, etc. In the lower town the merchants and men of business resided. At the beginning of the present century, vessels of more than 800 tons oould not come up to Montreal, and foreign trade 14 -was carried on by brigs and barges. The Hon. John Molson fitted out, in the year 1809, the first steamboat that ever ploughed the waters of the St. Lawrence. On the 3rd of November the little craft got up ste^m and made a voyage to Quebec, where the whole population crowded to the wharf to have a look at the marvel. Its arrival there was chronicled as follows by the Quebec Mercury : '* On Saturday morning at eight o'clock, arrived here from Montreal, being her first trip, the Steamboat ' Accommodation/ with ten passengers. This is the first vessel of the kind that has ever appeared in this harbor. She is continually crowded. She left Montreal on Wednesday at two o'clock, so that her passage was sixty-six hours ; thirty of which she was at anchor. She arrived at Three Rivers in twenty-four hours. She has at present berths for twenty passengers, which next year will be considerably augmented. No wind or tide can stop her; she is 75 feet keel and 85 feet on deck. The price for a passage up is nine dollars •and eight down, the vessel supplying the provisions. The great advantage attending the vessel so constructed is that a passage may be calculated on to a degree of certainty, in point of time, which cannot be rthe case with any vessel propelled by sail only. The Steamboat receives her impulse from an open, double-spoked, perpendicular wheel, on each side, without any circular band or rim. To the end of each double-spoke is fixed a square board, which enters the water, and by the rotary motion of the wheel acts like a paddle. The wheels are kept in motion by steam operating within the vessel. A mast is to be fixed in her for the purpose of using a sail when the wind is favorable, which will occasionally accelerate her headway." In 1832, the cholera raged in Montreal with great violence, carrying •off 1848 inhabitants in a population of little more than 30,000, In April, 1848, a political mob burned the Parliament buildings, and the 49eat of Qoverument was, in consequence, transferred to Quebec, subsequently to Toronto, and finally to Ottawa. A destructive fire in July, 1852, laid waste a large portion of the city, burning 110 houses, «nd destroying property to the value of $1,363,264. Notwithstanding these reverses, the city has rapidly recovered, and increased in wealth and importance. Years of industry, intelligence and enterprise have produced a mighty contrast to the city of a generation ago. Now ocean vessels of 6,000 tons, the floating palaces of the Biohelieu and Ontario 15 STECK The World Renowned Piano WON GOLD MIDAL AT AND MIDAL AND DIPLOMA AT PHILADELPHIA, CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION, OVER 4LL COMPETITORS.

The older parts of the city near the river have narrow, incom- modious streets, but the new growth of the city towards the mountain has been liberally laid out with wide and cheerful thoroughfares. The buildings are very fine, the material chiefly used is a zinc-colored limestone, of the Trenton formation, extensively quarried in the immediate neighborhood of the city. The great wealth of the Roman Catholic Church has enabled it to erect many magnificent churches, hospitals, and convents, always in a very massive and enduring style. Other denominations seem to have been excited by emulation, and vie with each other in the beauty and elegance of their places of worship. Among the evidences of the French origin of the city are to be noted a few curious old buildings, to be found lingering here and there about Jacques Cartier Square, or occupying sites on the river front ; these old houses were built somewhat like fortifications, and have heavily vaulted cellars, wherein treasures might be stored or defence made against foes, in the days when Indians and whites, French and British were fighting and plundering each other. The French Canadians form two- ihirds of the city's population ; and although their language here has not been unaffected by constant intercourse with the Euglish speaking people, it is not, as commonly supposed, a patoia, but such French as was spoken by the polite and educated in France at the period when the emigrants, who first settled in Canada, left the shores of their native land. The naming of many of the streets of Montreal after saints reminds one that its founders were not exiles nor adventurers, but enthusiastic missionaries. Montreal possesses advantages which no other Canadian city can boast of; in its situation at the confluence of the two great rivers, — the St. Lawrence and Ottawa ; opposite the great natural highway of the Hudson Valley ; at the point where the St. Lawrence ceases to be navigable for ocean ships, and where that great river, for the last time in its course to the sea, affords a gigantic water-power ; at the meeting-point of the two races that divide Canada, and in the centre of a fertile plain nearly as large as all England ; in these we recognize a guarantee for the future greatness of Montreal, not based on the frail tenure of human m I H. 1 T ORC Saratoga Springs, NEW YORK.

We know firom the study of these indications that^ were Canada to be again a wilderness, and were a second Cartier to explore it, he might wander all over the great regions of Canada and the West, and, returning to our mountain ridge, call it again Mount Boyal, and say that to this point the wealth and trade of Canada must turn. The population of Montreal in 240,000, of whom nearly three-fourths are Roman Catholics. The city is about four miles in length aloiig the river front, two miles in breadth, and is built on a series of terraces which were former portions of the river bed. Mount Boyal, from which the city derives its name, rises 700 feet above the level of the river, and with its beautiful park forms a fitting crown to the city. V THE' FOBT. The Ship Channel. — As already remarked, Montreal is a point at which ocean navigation terminates and inland navigation commences. Prior to 1851, only vessels of light draught could pass through Lake St. Peter and come up to the wharves ; but a lapse of thirty-five years shows a great change, for vessels drawing 27^ feet of water now pass down from Montreal to the sea. The work of improving the navigation from Montreal to Quebec, by dredging a channel through Lake St. Peter, was commenced in June, 1851 ; and on the 3rd of November, the same year, the ship " City of Manchester " passed down, drawing fourteen feet of water, when the depth on the flats was twelve feet, showing an increase of two feet, the dredged channel being then only seventy-five feet wide. On the 16th of October, 1859, the ship " Pride of Canada," loaded down to eighteen feet eight inches, was taken through while there was a depth of eleven feet eight inches on the flatH, — showing an increase of seven feet, the width of the channel having been increased to three hundred feet. On the 16th of November, 1805, the ship " Ocean " was taken from Sorel to Quebec, drawing nineteen feet eight inches, there being at that time ten feet six inches on the flats ; and on the 1st December fol- lowing, a test trip was made from Monti^eal to Sorel (in the absence V.

JAMES STREET, 20 of a suitable ship), by lashiug spars alongside a steamer to the required depth of twenty feet, then passing through the lake when there was a depth of eleven feet on the flats. The experiment was deemed satis- factory — demonstrating that the result of all the labor since 1851 was an increased depth of nine feet, and that at low water there is a channel twenty feet deep from Montreal to the sea. A further deepen- ing of the channel was completed in 1882 to twenty-five feet, so that now the largest-sized steamships come up to the harbor without lighterage. THE HARBOR. a 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 Glasgow. Dominion Line, weekly to Liverpool. Beaver Line, weekly to Liverpool. Donaldson Line, weekly to Glasgow. Temperley Line, fortnightly to London. Boss Line, fortnightly to London. Great Western Line, fortnightly to Bristol. Furness Line, fortnightly to London. ' ' Thomson Line, fortnightly to Newcastle-on-Tyne, via Loudon. Elder Line, fortnightly to Glasgow. White Cross Line, fortnightly to Antwerp. Hansa Line, fortnightly to Antwerp and Hamburg. Black Diamond Line, to Charlottetown, Pictou, and St. John's, Nfld. Bossi^re Line, every twenty days to H&vre. Quebec Steamship Line, fortnightly for ports on the Gulf and Prince Edward Island. Montreal and Acadian Line, fortnightly to St. John's, Newfound- land. Besides these, there are numerous steamers trading to the port, which do not belong to any regular line. The fleet of river steamers plying to the difiPerent towns on the St. Lawrence and its tributaries adds to the busy appearance of the Harbor. V A h V. 21 CANADA ATLANTIC RAILWAY.

The total length of wharf accommodation is 4.57 miles, of which two-thirds is for ships drawing 25 feet of water. The port possesses every convenience for loading and despatching ships, such as steam cranes and steam eleva- tors for grain and appliances for shipping cattle. Of late years ship- ments of cattle and of mineral phos[.hate3 have formed a large por- tion of the export business. Leading cattle shippers who have had experience in Boston, New York and other American ports give the preference to Montreal over all others, as having the best facilities for shipping cattle on the continent. The following statement obtained from the statistical department of the Custolns will show the increase in the shipment of live stock from this port in the past eight years : In 1880,35,070 head; in 1881, 35,832 head; in 1882, 26,981 head; in 1883, 50,398 head; in 1884, 57,789 head; in 1885, 63,655 head; in 1886, 65,824 head; in 1887, 04,907 head; in 1888, 61,003 head and in 1889, 85,668 head. The export of sheep is also a large item, the number exported in 1889 being 69,343. Ten years since the export of cattle across the ocean did not reach $100,000 in the season. The phosphates are shipped in the crude form of apatite, of which there are enormous deposits in the Ottawa valley.

All the wharves are entirely submerged in winter, and, owing doubt- less to this, the timber is of unusual durability. Some pile wharves of 1830, which are in deep water, and, therefore, did not need to be super- seded, are still in use. The cribwork wharves are found to suffer no serious decay for about fifteen or twenty years, and then only to a depth about half-way between the top and the low water line. The total cost of the Harbor of Montreal, was, at the close of last year, over ^3,000,000. THB WHABVES- The wharves are surmounted by a massive cut-stone wall, along the height of which is a pleasant promenade and wide street, affording a fine view of the river and its shipping. This was, during last year, surmounted by a dyke or parapet, erected for the purpose of protecting the city from the spring floods. There are numerous inclined planes from the wharves, by which carriages ascend to the street above, and the whole, for appearance, commodiousness and cleanliness, is unsurpassed by any port on the continent. THE VICTORIA BRIDOE Serves the important purpose of giving uninterrupted rail communica- tion between the Eastern States, Canada, and the Great West. It is used for railway transit exclusively. This great work, sometimes classed as the eighth artificial wonder of the world, was completed in 1860 under the superintendence of Robert Stephenson and his associates, and is one mile and a quarter in length, or two miles, including the extensions. It is supported on twenty-four piers, the central span being three hundred and thirty feet in length, the remaining ones two hundred and forty-two feet, with massive abutments ; the bridge tube is of iron, twenty-two feet high by sixteen wide, lessening at the ends. It was erected at a cost of $6,300,000. The height of the centre span above ordinary nver level is sixty fe^t. Three million cubic feet of masonry and ten thousand tons of iron enter into the construction of this gigantic work.

No railroad train is allowed to enter this bridge without a written permit from the proper officer, thus insuring exemption from collision or accident ; the passage is somewhat cheerless, occupying some six minutes, through seeming much longer to the {>asse nger. By obtaining a permit at the Grand Trunk Offices, tourists can inspect a portion of the interior of the bridge. The river beneath the bridge has a swift current, and the piers are are calculated to withstand immense pressure from descending masses of ice. THE LACHINE BRIDGE, which was completed iu 1887, crosses the river seven miles above Montreal. It was constructed by the Atlantic and Northwest Railway Company, and is the communicating link between the North and South Shores of the St. Lawrence. It connects the great Pacific system with the Eastern States, and also with the short line to the seaboard at Halifax and St. John. The masonry of the Lachine Bridge is composed of two abutments and 13 piers, the two abutments and two piers being built on dry land ; there are four land spans of eighty feet in length, 8 watei; spans, 240 feet long, and the deep water portion of the river is crossed by two flanking spans of 270 feet and two cantilever spans each 408 feet in length, and these latter spans have an elevation of sixty feet above ordinary summer water level, and form one continuous truss 1356 feet long. The steel for the superstructure was made in Scotland, and the work of erection done by the Dominion Bridge Company, while the piers, which was the most difficult part of the work, were built by the firm of contractors, Messrs.

The citizens determined to proceed with the erection of a building, and on the 6th day of June, 1821, the foundation stone of the building (which now forms the centre portion) was laid with Masonic honors, by the Eight Worshipful Sir John Johnson, Bart., Past Provincial 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 18th May, 1831, the Hon. John Richardson, the first President of the Institution, died, at the age of 70 years. His friends, desirous of erecting some monument to his memory, at first decided to place a cenotaph in Christ Churh, but when the subscription list was closed, it was found that the amount subscribed far exceeded that required for the work, and as demands for admission to tlie hospital were greater than its capacity, it was resolved to devote the money thus acquired to the enlargement of the building, by erecting a wing, to be called the "Ilichardson Wing.'' In 1848 the widow of the late Chief Justice Iteid added the wing know as the " Reid Wing," as a monument to the memory 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, it is comtemplated to further enlarge the hospital at an early date. During the year 1888 the total number of indoor patients treated in the Hospital was 2553, and there were 16,578 consultations given in the general out-door department during the same time. The annual cost of the maintenance of this excellent Institution is about $50,000.00. Royal Victoria Hospital. With a view ol' comnu'niorating 1887 as the Jubilee year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Sir l),tn,dd Smith and Sir Cleorge Stephen, of Montr«'al. iiave given a million dollars for the construction and cfiuipmcnt of the Kt)yal Victoria Hospital. The city has given m in is tie oil ■s • 44 the site — a beautiful slope on the southern portion of Mount Boytd Park, and building operations have already beeu 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 sub- scribed to build a hospital in the western part of the city, to be called the " Western Hospital," for the benefit of tlie sick poor, irrespective of creed, country or color. A large block of land was purchased upon the corner of Dorchester street and Atwater avenue, and upon one corner of this property the late Major Mills erected a handsome building, costing $13,000 which provides accouitnodation for about fifty beds. The hospital is doing good work. The Hotel-Dieu Was founded in 1644 by Mdme.de Bouillon, for the reception 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 establisliment of the Montreal General Hospital, this was the only place to which the alHicted poor of this city cauli be sent for relief. It furnished for many years a refuge for the miserable, and help for the sick, to whose comfoit the sisters devoted themselves with the most praiseworthy 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 thickly built up that it became necessary to remove the hospital to a more open locality. To meet this the present extensive premises on St. Famille street were erected. This is th^ nmst extensive religious 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 Institution are the Professors of the French School of Medicine.

Previous to the Conquest the Hotel-DieU was supplied with medicines and other necessaries by the French Government ; at present the funds are derived from rents on lands, charitable bequests or dona> tions, 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. Tliej:3/ Ninnery Is a large hospital and nunnery, situated on Guy street, and extending south to Dorchester street. Of the size of the institution we may form an idea from the fact that at present it contains 139 nuns (known as the Sisters of Charity), 37 novices, and 50u inmates, while over 5,000 visits are annually made to the sick and poor of the city, and from the Dispensary 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 intirm. 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 institutions in the city under their care, viz.; St. Joseph's Asylum and Dispensary, St. Patrick's Asylum, 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, 641 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 bouad to report annually on their conduct aud welfare. 47 ->^ EaTABLISHUD i844* •^ fTd m ,, r .-^d 22 9 >r#^ "^-«-^-Jp^5?i^2vi^^*--- <^"*'*' " HATTERS^»X.FURRIERS, Tourists are invited to call and see our Stock ou view during the Summer, embracing: the finest class of Russia,* Hudson* Bay *&* Foreign* Furs AND MANUFACTURED IN THE VERY BEST MANNER.

It is situa- ted at the corner of Dorchester and Peel streets, Montreal, and in point of luxurious appliances and magnificence in decoration and fittings, equals, if it does not surpass, any hotel on the continent. It is built upon the healthy upper plateau, facing Dominion Square, the largest square in the city, and occupies an eutire block, bounded by Peel, Dorchester, Stanley and Cypress streets. As one draws near the Windsor, its immense proportions are apparent. Its great height and lateral dimensions have pigmied surrotinding buildings ; the Dorchester street Methodist church and the St. George's church appearing to dwindle as a comparison is instituted. The m.iin entrance is on Peel street, which leadi directly up to the famous M juut Royal Park, The ladies' entrance opens on Dorchester street, and is protected from the rain and sun by a broad canopy, which stretches to the street. In close proximity to the entrance are the waiting-rooms for guests, nda the ladies' reception room, which is elaborately furnished and deco- rated in the richest style, and is, undoubtedly, the gem of the house. It is situated beneath the tower, and commands a view up and down Dorchester street and across Dominion Square. The passenger elevator immediately adjoins. The main entrauoe leads diri3ctly into the grand rotunda, wharain are situated the office proper, the ticket and telegraph offices, and the cigar and book stands. Occupying a position in the open space within the square of buildings, the rotunda has the advantage of a dome roof, aud is lit from overhead by large skylights which illuminate the artistij frescoing upon the sides and approaches to the dome. Passages lead from the rotunda to the billiard-room, wash-room, bar, barber's shop, caf^, gents' furnishing, and chemist's shop, so that guests cffti supply themselves with almost any article they require without leaving the hotel. To the left of the main entrance is the gentleman's waiting-room, which is frescoed ami furnished in strictly Egyptian stylo, thus lending to the room a character of its own, and making it one of the much talked of beauties of the '• Windsor." 51 THE "KENSINGTON )f ner ¥ 0032X5 2252 ST.

Above the pillars are a series of beautiful landscape views, which entirely encircle the hall ; they com- prise scenes from Great Britain, the Continent, jind tropical climes, and form subjects for prolonged study. It is beyond the power of descrip- tion to literally portray the magnificent appearance of this princely hall. At the east end is a gallery or band-room, which can be shui off from the hall by sliding doors. The hall is frequently used for public dinners and other entertainments. Passing through a door at the west end of the dining hall, the Ladies' Ordinary or small dining-room is reached, small only by comparison, as it is sixty feet long by forty in width. The delicate nature of the decora- tions are apparent, and on the walls and ceilings will be found some chef-d'ivuvrea. The kitchen, dish-rooms and panliies lie between tie dining-halls, and are simply and ingeniously arranged. On the east siiie of the pronienade and over Dominion Square are the suite of (Erand Parlopz. One hundred foot long by thirty wide, fitted up, regardless of cost, with luxurious cari)ets, velvet ottomans, and imposing marble mantels, while the tinting of the walls and froscoing of the ceiling are in perfect keep- ing.

The marble work was executed in Montreal, and the funiiture of the parlors and first and second floors was purchased from the Pottier & Stymus Manufacturing? Company of New York. The cabinet, art work and decorating are unsurpassed on the continent. All the other furniture of the hotel was supplied by Canadian firms. The remainder of the hotel proper is given up to bed-rooms, en suite with parlors, etc., or single rooms. Each room is supplied with hot and cold water, r^nd all the front rooms have private closets and baths, a great convenience in a large hotel. The ceilings are lofty, and heating and v3ntilatiou are v/ell provided for. The average size of the front room^ is eighteen feet by fourteen ; of those in rear or facing the central square, twelve feit by sixteen. The corridors are uniformly twelve feet iu width, and are bordered with bhck walnut. The division walls are 6,11 of brick, and the floors filled, ensuring quiet. One great featur-. of this hotel is that there are no winding passages ; four roomy flights of stairs, in addition to the elevators, afford ample means of accent and descent Above the sixth story is the observatory ov look-out tower. It has two series of port holes or windows, the upper one being 130 feet from the ground. Access can be had to the dome, where a height of one hundred and fifty feet is attained ; the flag pole, which surmounts the dome, is forty-seven feet high. Such are the ciiief features of interest in this magnificent building, and, before closing this meagre description, it may be interesting to briefly give the history of the " Windsor Hotel Co." In the spring of 1875, the Windsor Hotel Co. became an incorporated body, but, owing to the stringency of the times, no progress was made toward? the com- mencement of the building until late in the fall of the same year. The early winter of 1875 and 1876 greatly retarded the progress of this great enterprise, and it was not until the spring of 1876 that the work was fairly underway. Before Christmas the building was roofed in. The gentlemen who carried through this enterprise, and to whom thg travellijig public generally, and the citizens of Montreal in particular should forever feel indebted, are the Directors of the Company ; Messrs. Andrew Allen, President; H. A. Nelson, Vice ProsiJent; Wm. Cleu- 56 CONTRACTORS TO DOMINION qo/erNmeNt- / It 4 If if * * * * l{STABI«ISni£D X839.

The Directors at this juncture, assisted by some of the share- holders and contractors, obtained such a loan on their personal secu- rity as was deemed sufficient. The management of the Windsor Hotel devolves upon Mr. George W. Swett, manager, Mr. W. G. Ross, asst. manager ; Mr. H. S. Dunning> Room clerk and Messrs. Djwling and Moffitt. The steward's department of the hotel is under the charge of Mr. Isaac Ebbitt. So successful has the Hotel proved, that a new wing of 134 rooms, fronting on Stanley Street, has been added, making the Windsor one of the largest hotels in the world, and enabling the management to accommo- date the constantly-increasing patronage of the house. @ox2ee]*lF Hall and ISall T^pom. A magnificent addition in architectural conformity with the hotil proper has just been completed, and is without doubt one of the gem halls of the country. It is li56 feet long, 60 feet wide and 60 ■e>» feet high, and has accommodation for sixteen hundred seats. It is a pronounced success as a concert Hall. The accoustie properties being considered very fine and having the highest praise of the leading singers of the world.

The wainscotting of chestnut and cherry and the balcony with 150 seats are beautiful specimens of woodwork. Pleasure travel to Montreal during the winter dates from the opening of the Windsor Hotel.

These sports, which form the chief attractions of Carnival Week, can be en- joyed during the entire season by such visitors as wish to avoid the great influx of strangers to the city the week of the Feptival. A Ticket Office, in the rotunda of the hotel, issues tickets over all steamboat, railroad, and palace car lines at the same price as at the Head Offices of the various companies. Steamer staterooms can also be secured here, and the best choice obtained. Travellers' Insurance Tickets are also issued, and information as to routes and connections can be had, also quotations of American stocks and bonds are kept on fyle, and Theatre and Concert tickets may be had without advance in price.

'Mount ^^ogal !Papk. By far the most pleasant drive is to the brow of Mount Royal tli rough the Mountain Park. There are two roads: the shorter returns to the city by McTavish street, the other by lUeury street. The Moun- tain Park, recently laid out, was planned by Mi , OJmstead, the designer of Central Park, New York, whose achievements there have been recognized by a statue adorning one of the entiances. The view from Mount Roj'al is very beautiful ; suddenly, after an easy ascent by a winding road, we are looking forth on the city, with 'tb spires, )lii gardens, and avenues; beyond is the broad-flowing St. Lawrence, with the Victoria Bridge a.-U the Lachine Uapids just visible in the distance j fading away toward the honaon are the hills of Vermont, many miles off. A road from the Pai I connects with the Mount Royal (Protestant) and Roman Catholic Ceuioteries, two beautiful burial-placos with many fine monuments and tombs. The next drive is the one ** around the mountain.'' This was, until lately, the drive, and still remains a pleasant and attractive one ; beau- tifiil bits of scenery may be seen all along the route. Thc: drive to Lachine, nine miles distant, is of great interest ; the Rapids C'.ui be leisurely viewed, and the descent of a steamer observed by properly timing the excursion. tongue f^ointe Another favorite drive is, in an opposite direction to the last, to Lon- gue Pointe. The river scenery in this direction is very fine, and of quite a different character from that west of the city. It takes us through the siiburb of Hochelaga, the site of the original Indian settle- ment in the Island of Montreal. About a mile from the Depot is the beautiful Convent of the sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, where many young ladies from the United States receive their educa- tion. The next noteworthy building is the Lunatic Asylum. This immense house, containing nearly nine hundred maniacs, idiots, and 69 Lake Memphremagog Scenery ROUND IS^I AND.

On our way to Longue Pointe we notice St. Helen's Island, now a free public park, with its disarmetl fortific.itions, and the villages of Longueuil, liouclierville and Varoinies, on the opposite bank of the river. 15el2on'2 lSonumex2lf. This monument, erected in 1810 to the memory of the hero of Tra- falgar, stands in Jacques Cartier Square. The monument is built of limestone, and the ornaments are of a composition invented by Code & Seely of London, Eng., and were executed by them. The base is square, six and a half feet broad on each side, and about ten feet high. From the top of this a circular shaft column rises fifty feet in height and five feet in diameter. It is of the Doric order, and finished with mouldings. On the top of the pillar is a square tablet, the whole surmounted with a statue of Nelson, eight feet in height. The principal ornaments are in panels on the four sides of the base or pedestal, and are emblematic of the battle of the Nile. On the panel -on the upjjcr side are cannon, anchors and other naval trophies, with a laurel wreath, which surrounds the following inscription : IN MEMORY OF THE RIGHT HONORABLE VICE ADMIRAL LORD VISCOUNT NELSON, DUKE OF BRONTE, WHO TERMINATED HIS CAREER OF NAVAL GLOHY IN THE MEMORABLE BATTLE OK THAFALGAB, Ou the 21st October, 1805.

In 1813 it was destroyed by the British, and rebuilt after the termination of the war. At this place the tourist embarks on board the fine steamboat, which plies twice a day between this point and Toronto. Just above the village stands (visible from the deck of the steamer) ©roek'z Wonumzni. This monument was raised in commemoration of the British General, Sir Isaac Brock, who fell in the sanguinary action above mentioned. The present handsome shaft was erected in 1853. Its entire height is 185 feet ; the base is 40 feet square by 30 feet high ; the shaft is of freestone fluted, 75 feet high, and 30 feet in circumference, surmounted by a Corinthian capital, on which stands a statue of the gallant General.

The Royal ^lilitary College is situated here. Opposite Kingston are Wolf and Garden Islands, between which and the city lies the bay, a beautiful sheet of water. On the other side of tiie Islands is Cape Vincent, in the State of New York. Kingston jwssesses two colleges, and has several handsome public buildings, such as the Court House, Custom House, City Hall, Banks, Post Office, etc. The population is about 20,000. Adjacent to the city is Portsmouth, where are located the Provincial Penitentiary and .Eockwood Lunatic Asylum. %hz TEhouzand Islands. The Lake of the Thousand Lslamlw is an expansion of the St. Lawrence, at its enuMgeucj^ from Lake Ontario. It is the most numerous collection of river islands in the world. It connnences a little below Kingston, and stretches down the river between 40 and 50 miles, for wliich distance the St. Lawrence is between t) and 12 Uiiles wide.

This is a famous spot for sporting*; myriads of wild fowl of all descriptions may here be found ; and angling is said to be rather fatiguing than other- wise, from the great number and size of the fish. On the American shores opposite the Thousand Islands, is situated Sla^lfon, a village formerly of considerable importance as a lumber station. Opposite Clayton, on the Canadian side of the iiver, is ®ananoque, a ttourishing town of about 3,000 inhabitants. The beauty of the islands and river, as seen from this point, cannot be surpassed. During the last five yeats it has become quite a favorite resort for tourists and pleasure seekers. From its position it has almost unlimited water- power, which has been so far utilized that the town is now one of the most fiourishmg manufacturing towns in the Province. After lea"v ing Gananoque, the next port, on the American side, is the little rock-perched town of ^Tilcijandria ©ag, tlie situation of which is extremely pictui-esque and romantic. Some two or three miles below the village is a point from whence one hun- dred islands can be seen at one view, the beauty of which can scarcely be imagined. This is n fine fishing-ground. At the foot of the lake of the Thousand Islands, on the Canadian shores, liea the town of BPoek;?ille, 80 named in honor of General Brock, wlio fell in the battle at Queen- ston Heights in 1812. This is one of the most pleasant towns on the river. It is a delightful resting-place for travoller.s, a favorite resort for tourists, and u desirable home fur permanent residents. All the steamers stop here. The trip down the river is one full of interest and beauty, including, as it does, the run through the " Galop Uapids " and the " Rapids du Plat," passing " Point lro(iuoi8,"^faniou3 to Indian memory, and *• Pine Tree Point,'' so familiar to Canadian boatmen of 79 J ON THE EUROPEAN PLAN.

The view obtained from several points on this trip is unsurpassed in beauty even on our magnificent St. Lawrence. A steam ferry-boat plies every half-hour between this place and a pretty little village on the opposite side of the river. Twelve miles below Morristown, also on the American side, is situated the beautiful city of ©gdcnzburg, on<" of the most wealthy cities of its size in the State of New- York. Tli' oireets are wide, and lined with beautiful shade trees ; the public bvi i7igs are very fine, and some of the private residences are magni- fieenf.. iiiiXnediately opposite Ogdensburg, and connected with it by a steam- ferr is Tvzzeottj named after General Prescott, a town of about 3,000 inhabitants. About a mile below the town, at a plat called " Windmill Point," is a light- house, recently constructed from the stone of an old windmill, which for many years wa? one of the principal landmarks on the river. Its foundations are still to be seen. About six mile.s bolow Prescott is Chimney Island, on which the remains of an old French fortification are to be seen. At this island the first and smallest rapid on the river is met, viz.: — Galop Kapid. Seven mii«s below, on the American side, is Waddington, and opposite to it is Ogden Islarui, and Rapide du Plat, the second on the St, Lawrence. Passing Morrisburg, Aultsville and FaiTan's Point on the Canadian shore, we arrive at Dickinson's Landing, the head of the Cornwall 'anal. Tliis car ;1, twelve mikv^ .1 length, was built to avoid thf" next lecture of the river, the %OTig 5aullf !^apidz, the first of a remarkable series which are almost continuous for a dis- tance of nine miles.

Formerly, the American or East Channel was mostly run by steamers, but of late the Lost Channel is mostly used. The Channel presents a grand appearance, the water being lashed into a white foam for several miles. The pas- sage on the southern channel is very narrow, and such is the velocity of the current that a raft, it is said, will drift the nine miles in forty minutes. When a steamer enters within its influence the steam is partly shut off, and the engine slowed down to enable the pilot to keep her in the proper course, which is hero very narrow. Great nerve, strength and skill are necessary to pilot the vessel, and several men are required at the wheels. " One of the most singular sensations we experienced," says a distin- guished traveller, "was that of sailing many miles peiceptibly down hill.'' Tliis going down hill by water produces a highly novel sensation, and is, in fact, a passage of some danger, the imminence of which is en- hanced to the inmgination by the tremendous roar of the headlong, boil- ing current. ©opnwall, at the foot of Long Sault, on the Canada side, a neat little town of about 5,000 inhabitants, contains some of the largest cotton, woollen and paper mills in Canada. The fishing in the vicinity is good. Cornwall Islaiul li iS in the river o[)i)i).site the L )\vn, and belongs to the Indians of Sn. f{cgia. This is an old Indian village a little below Cornwall, on the south side of tlie river. The tourist will observe fj'oin the deck of the steamer th« old church, lifting its tin roof al)ove the neighboring houses. The bell hanging in this church is associated with a deed of {genuine Indian revenge. On its way from France it was captured by an English cruiser, and taken into Saleiu. Mass;ieliiiM'tts. where it was sold to the church at Deeitield, in the Sfuue 6tate. The Indians hearing of the destination of their hell set out for heertiehl. attacked the town, killed forty-seven of the inhal)itants, and took one hundred and twelve captives, "among whom were the jxistor and his family."

"^ 84 The boundary line between the United States and Canada passes near this village, and the course of the St. Lawrence is hereafter within Her Majesty's dominions. The expansion of the St. Lawrence which begins just below Cornwall and St. Regis, and extends to Coteau du Lac, is called %akc Zt. franeiz. Many little islands are scattered here and there over its surface. Coteau du Lac is a small village at the foot of the lake ; and on the north side, over against this place, is Grand Island. In this line of eleven miles there are four rapids : Coteau, Cedar, Split Eock and Cas- cades. Passing these rapids, you glide into Lake St. Louis, from which you catch a view of Montreal Mountain in the distance. !Beauhai»noiz IS at the foot of another canal, the Beauharnois, necessitated by the natural obstructions to navigation upward. Here vessels, when as- cending the river, enter and pass around the rapids into Lake St. Francis, a distance of 11^ m'los. Ijachinc, at the foot of Lake St. Louis, is a village of some 3,000 inhabitants. It is a favorite resort during the summer months for Montrealers, The Lachine Eapids begin just below the town. Opposite is Caugbnau^aga, an Indian village. Its name is said to have been given by the Jesuits, Caughnawaga signifying " praying Indian." The name was aptly be- stowed, for the Indians are ardently attached to the Eoman Catholic faith, and every June, in their native paint and adornments, join in celebrating the procession of Fete-Dieu. In this village the famous Indian game of Lacrosse is played to perfection, and here were selected the red men who formed the aboriginal part of the " team, " which in 1876 played most acceptably before Her Majesty Queen Victoria.

Not only in the practical arts of life, but even in the pastimes peculiarly their own, the red men are dis- tanced by the pale faces. At Caughnawaga a canoe leaves the shores, and brings an Indian on boaixi the steamer to pilot it over the Lachine rapids, the last and most dangerous of the river. When the water happens to be low, there is really more risk than when, at other times, there is more noise and demonstration as the waves curl and dash with the impetu- osity of the sea breaking upon the beach. The sense of sheer descent gives one a pleasing fear, as the channel of shallow slippery rocks is safely thread- ed. He must have been a bold man who first ventured to find a path for his craft through these troubled waters. In about half an hour after leav- ing this last rapid the boat passes nnder the Victoria Bridge, the longest tubular bridge in the world, and then the traveller comes in full view of the City of Montreal.

The upper half of its course is a series of falls and rapids, navigable only by canoes, and flowing though a dense and almost unknown wilderness. The navigable ascent terminates at Chicoutimi. Lake St. John, in which the river has its source, receives the waters of eleven large rivers and an innumerable number of smaller streams from the vast water-shed surrounding it, but discharges all its waters through this one wonderful stream. The traveller can now reach the delightful district of Lake St. John by rail from Quebec — the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway having been completed in 1888— the distance is 170 miles.

It is the peer of all picturesque routes, for it traverses the unrivalled Canadian wilds — the picture gallery of the world. Montreal — where connections are made by through trains from Bos- ton and New York— may be regarded as the initial point for a tour across the continent. Thence the main line of the Canadian Pacific Eailway runs westward to Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion ; theuce by the Ottawa Valley, and across to Luke Nipissing in Ontario, so well known to sportsmen. From Lake Nipissing the railway passes directly westward thorugh rock and forest, until it reaches the north shore of Lake Superior at Heron Bay. For nearly two hundred miles the line is laid along the shore of the lake and this part of the road is carried through and along numerous cliffs of granite, where son e single miles cost three-quarters of a million dollars. Port Arthur (pop. 5,500), on the northern shore of the lake, is the ter- minus of the eastern division of the road, and a landing place for the lake steamships of the Canadian Pacific line. This has become a very important port for the delivery and receipt of coal, grain, lumber and general supplies ; its water-front is furnished with massive elevators, warehouses and coal bins. Beyond Port Arthur the road crosses four hundred miles through a forested and lake covered region to Winnipeg, which is the metropolis of the Canadian West. This city — the junction point for traffic from the United States, via Chicago and St. Paul— has now a population of 35,000, and is the focal point for a territory almost as large as the Mississippi valley ; seven lines of railway radiate from it and it has facilities for doing an enormous business. From Winnipeg westward, the railway ascends the valleys of the Aasiniboine and Qu'- Appelle rivers, which are well settled by farmers and stock-raisers, and then crosses over into the valley of the Saskatchewan, in which aio farms large grazing areas, and extensive coal deposits. A more north- westerly course is then taken to Calgary, 1,200 miles west of Lake Superior, and at the foot of the Bocky Mountains. After leaving CaU gary, the railway enters the mountains, surmounts the main range of the Rockies through the Kicking-Horse I'ass, crosses the Upper Columbia, the Selkirk climbs range, recrosses the Columbia (which bends in a great loop to tho northward), makes its way through the Gold Range, and descend! into the valley of Thompson river in the interior of British 101 D 6-ei.

Mountains rise on each hand more than a mile above the level of the track ; and these mountains, exceedingly picturesque in form, are crowned with perpetual snow, and bear upon their shoulders glaciers far surpassing any of those in Switzer- land. These vast bodies of ice, and all the other splendid features of the scenery, are plainly visible from the cars, and at several points within the mountains the Company have erected elegant hotels for the accommodation of tourists. The first of these is at Ban£f Hot Springs, in the Canadian National Park, elevated 4,500 feet above sea level. The second is situated at the base of Mount Stephen (alt. 8,000 feet) ; the third is close to the forefoot of the wonderful Great Glacier of the Selkirks, and the fourth is in the midst of the savage canyon of the Fraser. All of these are luxurious centres from which an endless variety of shooting, fishing, and mountaineering excursions may be taken. The valley of the Thompson is a ranching and farming country. This river empties into the great Fraser at Lytton ; and thence to the coast, a distance of a hundred and fifty miles, the railway traverses the depths of the canyons of the Eraser, following all the windings of that mighty stream, between walls of stupendous height. The scenery of this part of the road, by which the Okinagan and Cascade ranges of moun- tains are passed, is quite as remarkable in its way as that of the llocky Mountain division. The Pacific terminus of the road is the busy new city of Vancouver (pop. 15,000), situated on Burrard Inlet, which forms one of the finest harbors of the entire western sea board. A daily line of stcHuners affords direct connection with the City of Victoria (pop. 15,000), the capital of British Columbia, and situated at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island. From either Victoria or Vancouver daily steamers ply to Port Townsend, Seattle, Taconia, and Puget Sound ports ; every five days to San Francisco, and fortnightly to Alaska. Regular steam- ers depart from Vancouver every four weeks for Japan and China. In building the Canadian Pacific it was necessaiy not only to prepare for an enormous traffic, but to construct a road fit to meet all demands of the British Government in case of war in the East. Its construction, therefore, was upon a scale of solidity and permanendb far in advance of 103 MISS BYRNE, ihUy Four Minutes* Walk from Windsor Hotel, O O O ii^-O ^ ^ y ^--Q..^ Q » <► <^-o— o o— o— o O O »» o O-^ <► Qi ■ .^.-Q. ft o ■■<►— o visitors would do well to call and examine tJ}e 'Goods in tffis establisJ^ment before going elsewhere, afllways on f^and all tj}e Xalest J^ovelties from Paris, Xondon and ^ew York, viz. : ■AMD- <3L\Sf ¥lou}aiPg^ Feat^epg, &c., &c. 4- O •K"'OH— O 'I — O -I— O 'f^~0 -I— "O"-!— O O -¥0 -4- H^^ H' O H* b~^F"5 ^- O -4- =792 a-Qd 794: WEST OF BEAVEB HALL HILL. 104 that of any of the Ameiican transcontinental lines, and its equipment is incomparable. In all the appliances of the passenger-train service every improvement of assured value has been adopted toward increased safety and comfort. Sleeping cars run through without change between Montreal and the Pacific coast : and these cars exceed in luxury the best used elsewhere. Dining cars accompany all transcontinental trains as far as the Eocky Mountains, where the hotels, previously spoken of, make them unnecessary. For second-class passengers, and colonists going to their new homes in tlie West, a form of sleeping car is provided without additional charge, which runs through without change upon the express trains, and reduces the fatigue of the journey to a minimum. A liberal schedule of rates has been arranged, so that tourists may avail themselves of this new and beautiful road in a round trip to the Pacific Coast. In Eastern Canada the Canadian Pacific line runs from Montreal to Quebec, and from Montreal across the State of Maine to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It is now the longest continuous line of rails in the world, reaching no less than 3,600 miles in continuous length, — spanning the American continent from the surf of the Atlantic to that of the Pacific. From Ottawa, branches extend to Prescott and to Brockville on the St. Lawrence river, where connections are made with railways in north- ern New York. A direct line runs from Montreal to Toronto, London and Detroit, forming in connection with the Wabash system a most desirable through route to Chicago. From Toronto a system of branches diverges to Owen Sound on Georgian Bay (whence the Clyde-built steel steamships of the Company depart twice a week for Port Arthur), to Orange ville, Teeswater and Flora. From Sudbury station north of Lake Huron, on the transcontinental line, a branch road extends westward to Sault Ste. Marie, connecting there with American systems, and forming a short line route by way of Montreal and Ottawa to St. Paul and Minneapolis and the North- West. 105 HELEN DRAKE, liATE OF 2310 ST.

The construction of the Intercolonial, and the connection of the Upper and Lower Provinces by a direct line of railway, has of late years opened up a new route for the tourist as well as the man of business. Each year its advantages are bacouiing better known, and each season sees an increase in the tide of travel upon it. Leaving Quebec this road takes its course along the south shore of the Lower St. Lawrence. Here the picturesque French villages, the lordly river dotted with sails, and the bold and often beautiful scenery of the shore combine to make the beginning of an ever-varying panorama of which the eye never wearies. Beyond lies the Metapediac Valley, the Switzerland of this country, with its mountains of green, and its " m''iical waters, " where the salmon have their home. Entering New Bi nswick, skirting the shores of that vast and tranquil natural harbor, the Bale des Chaleurs^ the traveller is borne rapidly onwar«l, through the famed valley of the Miramichi, thence to Moncton, the " Heart or the Intercolonial. " From this place one may either go direct to St. John, through a settled and beau- tiful country, cross the Strait to Prince Edward Island, " the Garden of the Gulf," or continue on to Halifax, tlie capital of Nova Scotia. The scenery en route to the latter places is varied by hill and dale, lake and stream, with towns and villages in which the evidences of prosperity and plenty meet the eye at every point. At Halifax, with its breezes from the Atlantic, its seashore, and inland drives, its bathing i«i pure sea water on smooth and sunny baaches, and yachting or boating in the peaceful waters of spacious harbors, one may spend day after day of genuine pleasure, and return to his home, invigorated, refreshed and fitted anew for the routine of daily life. Pictou, with its views of land and sea, its ship^^ and its mines; Cape Breton, with its famous Bras d'Or winding and enchanting scenes ; historic Louisburg, or Syduiy, with its coal mines reaching far into the earth, may all be visited with pleasure and profit. Within a few hours of Halifax auj also such watering-places as Chester and Mahone Bay, while in another direction lies the luxuriant Annapolis Valley, the scene of the never-dying story of Evangeline. To the sportsman the Intercolonial opens up a land in which he need never lack for occupation. In all the numt.'rous rivers which the railway intersects are trout to be had, often of extraordinary size and quality* 107 •ESTABLISHED 1856.- THB r ?i?fw •^3^^ l^^lSr'U'FjLC}TTJTfE}:RS <5tf^ Oakl- T^anned ng,F card ©othing, l\eeds ar|d TJarness, — ^*^AND GENERAL -e*^— 292,294^ 296^ «1# va '•9f) Mcrm Sm(ife> MONTREAL 108 In all the northern rivera are salmon of magnificent size, forty pounds not being an unusual weight for one of them. Cariboo range the forests of each province, while in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick the moose, the king of the forest, still roams as of old ; ducks, geese, partridge and other wild fowl in the season may be had almost anywhere along the line in abundance. All their pleasures of the woods may be enjoyed, and yet one need at no time be beyond the reach of communication with the world, by mail, express or telegraph. In short, those who desire speed in travel, combined with safety and comfort, who are urged by business, or are in search of pleasure or health, will find this road the one adapted for their wants — a road over which they may travel with ease, live cheaply at any place they may visit, and behold a country which is but to be seen to be admired and visited again and again. ^m 109 ST.

CHATEAU ST. LOUIS HOTEL CO., J^roprietorB» 110 MONTREAL TO OTTAWA. Ottawa can be leached by the Canadian Pacific Railway or the Canada Atlantic Hallway, in four hours. For the pleasure- seeking tourist the best route to the Capital of the Dominion is to take the train to Lachine, which leaves the Bonaventure Street Depot every morning (Sundays excepted) at 7.45 a.m., and there stepping on board the steamer Sovereign (Capt. H. W. Shepherd), sail up the river. By this last route we have a better opportunity of seeing the beautiful scenery of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers, as they first meet. It is a bright morning, and the sun glances slantingly along the majestic waters, tinging with golden light the tips of the wavelets, as they rise one after the other, to greet his rays. A faint mist, like a delicate veil, spreads over the bosom of the river, on which one or two islets repose, as childhood sleeps on its mother's bosom, yet it does not conceal the enchanting beauty of the scene, but adds grace and loveliness to the charms which it vainly strives to hide. It is soon dissolved, and the light breeze which has sprung up carries it all away. Away we go stemming the current, until in due time we reach Ste. Anne, where is a succession of rapids which we avoid by going through a lock. More islets are here, round which the Ottawa bubbles and struggles in its course, while the pretty village of Ste. Anne reposes in quiet beauty upon the banks. This village is considered the starting- point for the Ottawa river by all orthodox voyageura, as the last church on the Island of Montreal is situated here, and is moreover dedicated to their tutelary saint, from which also the village takes its name. Emer- ging from the canal again we enter the Ottawa, having left the St. Law- rence far astern, and, after sailing about two miles, we find the shores recede on either hand to about eight miles wide, and this recession continues for a distance of ten miles, for we are in the Lake of the Two 145 ST.

The river divides here into four branches, that which we have just come up, another which diverges towards the north-east and forms the western boundaiy of the Island of Montreal, the third called the Dutchman's Cheval, and the fourtb passing Vaudreuil around the Isle Perrot. There is the Isle Jesus and beside it Pigeon's Island, on which are the ruins of an Indian village. A few miles further on we arrive a a fine new wharf named Oka, sit- uated at the Indian Village of the Two Mountains. This village is in- habited by the remnants of two tribes, the Iroquois and the Algonquins^ as the village of Caughnawaga, opposite to Lacliine, is by a remnant of the lioquois. ' A Koman Catholic Church divides the settlements. Three or four chapels stand on the mountain side. The highest peak of the mountain is called Calvary, and on certain religious f^tes of the Church it is frequented by both white and Indian. Xow we stop at the villages of Como and Hudson. Both of these places are the resort of some of our Montreal friends, who pass the summer months there with their families. On the southern batik is Rigaud Mountain, where there is also a settlement of the same name. The river again contracts to the breadth of half a mile, and continues, sometimes broader, sometimes as uan'ow, until we reach Carillon. Yonder is a raft of wood coming floating down, manned by hardy voyageura who have built their wooden hut upon the timber islaud they have made. Far, far back, in the thick and dark woods, have they toiled through the inclemency of winter, gathering together the huge monarchs of the forest; far, far back, where the beais prowl, and the gaunt and hungry wolves " make night hideous" with their bowlings, while the hardened snow has covered the ground many feet deep, and the frost spirit has " Bound the waters in icy chains By a spell unseen yet strong." Five miles from Grenville we stop at L'Orignal, where a stage awaits passengers going to the celebrated Caledonia Springs, a distance of some nine miles, through a very interesting country. Tiie springs are much frequented by invalids during the summer months, for the sake of the mineral waters. 113 ^illtlini ^@M W®tl^9« MANCFAOTURERS AND FURNISHERS OF Cast Iron, Steam, Water and Soil Pipe Fitting, Iron and Brass Steam Stop Cocks, Valves, &c..

About two miles below Ottawa on the north side the Gatineau empties itself into the Grand Ottawa Eiver. Gently, gracefully, the water pours over, and mingles with that of the Ottawa beneath, with just as much noise as is necessary to add to the effect. Looking ahead, we now get a splendid view of the Parliament and Departmental Buildings, standing out so prominently on the bluff, called Major's Hill. These buildings only require to be visited to be appreciated. And now we reach Ottawa City, pictur- esquely built upon three separate bluffs or ledges, forming the river bank of the south side. Right before us is an imposing scene, second only to Niagara in grandeur and magnificence. The Chaudi^re Falls are immediately above the city, and there, with thundering cadence, the waters precipitate themselves down the precipice of forty feet in height, and, gathering into a basin, boil, and seethe, and hiss, and whirl around in mad excitement, while the spray arises, and the sunbeams gleaming upon it form an almost perpetual rainbow. A fine bridge spans the river just below the Falls, from which a magnificent view of them is obtained. Beside the Grand Fall there is also a little Chaudi^reon the northern side, and here a curious phemonenon presents itself. The great portion of the waters which are precipitated down the latter find their way underground, where none can trace their course. The fol- lowing description, quoted from Bouchette, will give us some idea of the singular scene. He says : " The Little Chaudi^re may, without nmch difficulty, be approached from the Lov^r Canada shore, and the spectator, standing on a level with the top of the fall and on the brink of the yawning gap into which the floods are headlong plunged, surveys the whole length of chute and the depths of the cavern. A consider- able portion of the waters of the falls necessarily escape subterraneous- ly after their precipitation, as a much greater volume is impelled over the rock than finds a visible issue, Indeed this fact is not pecu- liar to Little Chaudiere, but is one of those curious characteristics of this part of the Ottawa of whi;^h other singular instances are observed, the water in various places Ijeing swallowed by deep but narrow rents and fissures, leaving their natural bed almost dry, to dash on through some subterraneous passage that defies the search of the explorer. 115 adant both 3elow Jrand ingles issaiy of the lently to be Dictur- river second ills are ce, the height, ftroiind aaniing ins the them is on the The ter find he fol- idea of without ind the e brink jurveys )n8ider- aneous- mpelled t pccu- stics of )seTved, w rents through xplorer.

CNARLE8 8URD A CO., 48,45 A 47 JURORS STREET, MONTREAL 116 Inhere are in the Falls of the Chaudi^ra materials for much geological speculation, and the mere admirer of nature's scenic wonders and mag- nificence will derive much gratification and delight by the survey and contemplation of their manifold beauties," On the northern bank, a slide has beQn made so that the timber can be sent from above to below the foaming waters without endangering it being broken by abrupt and rude collision with kindred logs below, or shattered upon the rock. These slides are frequent in the Upper Ottawa, the rocky state of the river necessitating their construction, and they are admirably adapted for carrying down the logs of timber safely and without any damage ±0 prevent a sale in the market. The railroad from Montreal to Ottawa is part of the line of the Canadian Pacific Eailvvay Company which extends through the Western Canadian Provinces to British Columbia on the Pacific Coast. It furnishes every comfort of modern travel — perfect road- bed, steel rails, iron bridges and the finest equipped passenger trains in America. It is well called " the great scenic route of Canada," and will take you through a diversified country of open plains, mountain gorges and forests. Kepeated views of the Ottawa, classic in Tom Moore's songs, pouring its mighty volume of water down from an immense territory that stretches into the almost undiscovered North, the distant shores and mountains, the fresh, well kept fields, and the abundant forests fill all the way with beauty. The works erected there by man simply serve to enhance the work of nature in this favored spot. The city stands on a plateau of horizontally stratified rock, which rises 100 feet precipitously from the river. On the brow stand the government buildings already men- tioned. The scenery in every direction from the city is gi*and and impres- sive. The Chaudi6re Falls on the Ottawa, two hundred feet wide and forty deep, are only excelled by the Niagara Falls. Utawas' Tide!

This canal connects the Ottawa with Kingston and Lake Ontario through a series of lakes and streams. It is 135 miles long, and forms a triangle with the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa rivers. The upper terminus is about 180 miles from Mon- treal \*hile the lower is 120 miles. THE CANADA ATLANTIC RAILWAY, running from Ottawa, Ont., to Rouse's Point, N. Y., a distance of 150 miles, although a com- paratively new line, has obtained an enviable reputation for the manner in which its passenger trains are handled. During the summer season of 1883 a fast train was run between Montreal and Ottawa in two hours and thirty minutes, a distance of one hundred and seventeen miles, making five stops. This was ihen the fastest train in America. Their passenger trains now make this run in three hours and a half, stopping at all stations, and trains are invariably on time. They were the first road in Canada introducing the electric light on their trains, and a short time afterwards put in service a train with cars entiiely heated by steam from the engine. This last proved so successful that all their passenger trains are being fitted up in the same manner. A series of daily excursions have been arranged by this line for the travel season of 1890 as follows : — Montreal to Ottawa and return (via the ' )ttawa River) — Leave Mont- real — Bonaventure Station, returning from Ottawa by the Ottawa River Navigation Co.'s steamers. Fare for the round trip So. 15, Montreal to Ottawa (via Ottawa River) and return to Montreal via Canada Atlantic. Fare for round trip 85.15.

Montreal to Ottawa via Grand Trunk and Canada Atlantic Railways and return to Coteau lauding via Canada Atlantic, thence via Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co.'s steamers, running the St. Lawrence Rapids. Parties desirous of making this trip can leave Montreal in the morning, visit Ottawa, and be at home the same evening. Fare for round trip $5.85. / 119 indsoT TICKET AGENCY IN THE ROTUNDA.

Parties desiring to spend the summer can make ar- rangements to board at private houses or at the hotels in Valleyfield, at very reasonable rates. The boating and fishing in this vicinity are unsurpassed. From Ottawa many very pleasant excursions can be made into the country both by stages and steamboats running to different parts, so that every facility is afforded for enjoying to the utmost extent the romantic scenes which abound on every side. On the bank of the Gatineau Eiver are also situated the mills of the same name. 'J hese mills are very complete, with all the necessary apparatus for sawing the timber into deals and boards, and preparing it for the market, taking it in its rough state from the river, squaring it off, and then discharging it back again, to be made up into cribs, and floated down to the Ottawa and thence to Montreal or Quebec. The great phosphate mines of Canada are also situated in the immediate vicinity of Ottawa. Looking at the Ottawa altogether it is perhaps one of the finest and most picturesque of all the rivers of Canada ; and when we consider that it drains a country of about 80,000 superficial miles, we cannot but think that many more years will not pass over without a vast change for the better in the land. 121 J.
