Louis rapids above Montreal. There is much uncertainty as to the identity of the white man who first gazed upon the marvelous scene presented by the Thousand Islands. The early discoverers, as a rule, were less interested 'n scenery than in the practical things which pertained to navigation, trade and travel, and the spreading of Christianity. Champlain, in 16 15, beginning at the western end of Lake Ontario, explored that lake and the St. Lawrence to Sorel river, thus passing through this region. How or when or by whom the world's attention was first called to this archipelago is a matter of doubt, but certainly at an early date it had impressed itself upon the lover of the grand and beautiful in nature, and at least a century and a half ago the French christened it " Les Mille Isles" — The Thousand Isles. The later and more completely descriptive English name for it is "The Lake of a Thousand Islands."* The St. Lawrence has marked the line of separation and the DRIED ORASSES FROM THE ISLANDS. *.So called on a map of the Atlantic coast region of North America, in the Boston Public Library, published in Paris in 1768. THE T1I0U8AND ISLANDH. 18 Thousand Islands have been the scene of some of the important campaigns in four great conflicts between nations. The first was the Indian war between the Algontjuins and the Irocjuois, which continued many years, with occasional intermissions. The second struggle was between the French and English, and many of its hostile meetings and victories and defeats took place among the islands and on the neighboring shores. In the American revolutionary war with England, and that between the same forces in 1812, the defense of this locality was of decided importance; therefore it witnessed much activity, and some memorable engagements were tought within sight and sound of this spot, now so happily devoted to the pursuits of pleasure, with no warring or warlike nations to trouble the calm of perpetual peace. Many of the most e.xciting incidents of that disastrous military adventure known as the Patriot war, with its iitermittent outbreaks from 1837 to 1839, took place on this part of the river, notably the capture of the Hritish steamer Sir Robert Peel, near Wells Island, on the night of May 29, 1838, and the battle of the Windmill, near Prescott, Ont., November 13, of the same year. niLL JOHNSON, Prominent in the attack on the steamer and its subsequent destruction by fire, was the famous Bill Johnson, for whose capture a large reward was offered, and who was successful in hiding among these islands many months, his daughter carrying food to him and conveying him from one place of safety to another more secure. An island near Alexandria Bay known as the Devil's Oven, be- cause of its peculiar shape, is said to have been one of his hiding places. Two steamers were employed for many weeks in the search for the outlaw among the islands, but he was only captured after giving himself up to his son in order that the latter could claim the reward. His sub- sequent escape as well as all the interesting facts of the Patriots' struggle, are matters of general history. DEVIL 8 OVKN. 14 TIIK TIIOU8AND IrtLANUS. '^'ii^Z.lSr^^ CHARI.F.S CROSSMON S MEMORAIII.F, EXPERIENCE. The laie (Charles Crossnion, then a young man, was in the ranks of the I'atriot force which invaded Canada, participating in the battle of the Windmill and being cap- tured and taken to Kingston. During the following winter he was confined with others in the old fort at that place. Ten of his comrades were hanged and a much larger number sentenced to penal servitude in Van Dieman's land. Mr, Crossmon's situation was a precarious one for some time, but on account of his youth he was finally released and lived to win fame in a less adventurous and much more profitable pursuit. AS A I'OrUI.AR RKSORT. The past two decades have witnessed the larger and more phenomenal growth of the islands as a summer resort for the multitudes. In 1782 Gen. Cirant visited here as the guest of George M. Pullman, the palace car magnate, on his island near Alexandria Hay. The visit continued eight days, and attracted the attention of thous- ands to the St. Lawrence. In the same year the ed- itorial associations of the north and the south had a joint excursion and dined on Pullman's island, the meal being served from The Cross- mon. The glowing praises bestowed by these visitors were read throughout the land, and since that time there has been a rapid and ever increasing development of this locality as a desirable place for a season's outing or a vacation trip. In 1887 President Cleveland and wife, with a party of friends, made a trip among the islands and added their tributes to the beauty of this spot. In 1890 the New York Press Association held its annual meeting at The Crossmon, and spent several days on the river, the members vieing with each other in their printed descriptions and com- ments on their delightful experiences, fishing exploits, excursions, etc. To-day in magazine articles, newspaper sketches, and in the realm of poetry as well, the Thousand Islands are frequently and prominently mentioned, and no route- book is complete which does not have this resort among the first on its list. The his- tory of home-building here would make a tale of evolution from the rough cabins which in early days served the purpose of sojourners during the hunting and fishing seasons to the elegant establishments occupied by families from all parts of the country during the entire heated term. The best example of this development is the picturesque castle built by Mr. Pullman on the former site of the house in which Gen. Grant was his guest. GHOGRArillCAL. The river St. Lawrence, together with the great lakes, comprise what has been aptly termed the grandest system of inland navigation in the world. I'rom its remotest beginning — the St. Louis river, which flows into Fond du Lac at the head of Lake Superior — to its union with the sea at Cape Ciaspe, it is 2,100 miles. The river St. Louis, the Mississippi and the Red River of the North rise on the same broad level withm a comparatively small range in Minnesota and reach the ocean by widely diverging courses — the first by the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the second by the Gulf of Mexico and the third by Hudson's bay. According to the latest records, the total area of the St. Lawrence basin is about 510,000 scjuare miles, of which the United States owns 187,440 and Canada 322,560. The total length of the river, from Kingston to Cape Gaspe, is 728 miles, and that I IIM'I.KK s LLlluW. division of the stream in which the Thousand Islands are, extending from Kingston to Prescott, where the rapids and canal section begins, is 68 miles in length. The St. Lawrence and the great lakes form a natural boundary between the United States and Canada, and the actual international line runs as nearly as practicable in a middle course between the shores (excepting Lake Michigan, which is entirely in the Ignited States territory) to a point near Cornwall, Ont., about fifty miles below Prescott, where the river becomes exclusively Canadian. The river's greatest width in the section of the Thousand Islands is at its source, where it is about ten miles wide. In the vicinity of Alexandria Bay it is about three miles in width. The exact number of the islands is 1,692. o 31 o Oi o u 00 Ed u a thp: crossmon. ITS HISTORY, LOCATION AND ADVANTAGES. Nowhere in a similar period has the advancement in hotel accommodations and management been marked by such rapid strides as at the Thousand Islands. In the matter of time The Crossmon was the first establishment devoted to the entertainment of guests who visited this region in search of sport and recreation, and it has since continued to be first in every other respect. From small beginnings it has developed to its present magnificent proportions, a five-story structure with the most modern and luxurious appointments and capable of accommodating a multi- tude of guests. The original Crossmon house was a two-story build- ing with ten guest-rooms. In that day its guests en- countered what would now be called serious difficulties in reaching the islands. The general line of travel thither was along he canal by packet boat to Oswego and thence down Lake Ontario to the river, though some preferred the over- land route by stage from THK CROSSMON IN 1S4S. Utlca. But evcH under [these adverse circumstances, this now world-famed region and almost equally noted Ihotel witnessed the holiday e.xploits of some of the nation's greatest men and were jcounted worthy of elaborate description by some of the most entertaining writers. The late Charles Crossmon, father of the present proprietor of the immense estab- lishment which bears that name, began his career as a hotel keeper at Alexandria Bay \n 1848. His clear discernment of the future led him to select the most advantageous site in this most charming portion of the island scenery, and the wisdom of his choice las received the highest endorsement that an unprecedented and unrivalled success can 18 TIIK THOUSAND ISLANDS. furnish. The plainest accommodations were provided for The Crossmon's early guests, but they were such as won the approbation of Martin and John Van Ruren, Governor Seward, Silas Wright, Frank Blair, and others famous in the affairs of state and in professional and business activities, who sought and found in this solitude that freedom from care and rest from labor, that communion with nature, the invigorating atmos- phere, the opportunities for the exercise of the sportsman's prowess and all the THE CROSSMON IN 1863. incentives to enjoyment which are important factors in reviving overtaxed physical and mental powers. And all this their successors find to-day, for the advent of the fashion- able crowd and the erection of modern hotels and elegant homes have not detracted in any appreciable degree from the boundless attractions here offered to the seeker after quiet and rest. THE NEW CROSSMON. As the tide of pleasure travel set in toward the St. Lawrence and its islands. The Crossmon was from time to time enlarged, and finally the present magnificent hotel was built on the site of its earliest predecessor. In the new structure everything that is desirable in a first class summer hotel has been provided for, and in its management every facility is furnished and the fullest attention given to the wishes and requirements of its guests. Its rooms are all pleasantly situated, affording charming views of the neighboring scenery. There are suites for families, with private bath-rooms and all conveniences- THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. 19 besides single and connecting rooms in every part of the house, all handsomely fur- nished. The elevator is in operation constantly and the stairways are broad and easy. There are spacious and elegantly furnished drawing-rooms, wide corridors and broad verandas, and from the latter one of the most delightful pictures to be found in this entire region may be had. THE CROBSUON IN 1873. The main dining-room is on the river side of the house. Its tables are furnished with costly china, silver and cut glass, and the finest linen, and supplied with the rarest fruits and delicacies. Its service is unexcelled, being by gentlemanly young men under the efficient direction of an experienced metropolitan chef serviteur. A pleasant dining-room is provided for children in charge of nurses. The kitchens of The Crossmon are presided over by a first class chef de cuisine with competent assistants, at whose disposal in the preparation of delectable and appe- tizing viands there is an abundance of everything that the best markets offer. The importance of providing special comforts and amusements for the children is recognized in many ways in and about this establishment. There are accommodations for nurses in their care of the little ones, and opportunities for wholesome sports are at hand. Perhaps the most popular attraction in this department is the " Burro Brigade," a troop of patient Rocky Mountain donkeys, brought from New Mexico for the use of The Crossmon's IjttJ? folks. These gentle animals are trained for riding and driving 20 THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. AllTKSIAN WKI.L. and give many an hour's delightful amusement. A goat trained for driving is kept for the use of the smaller children, while on the lawn, in the shade of the trees, are boxes filled with sand for their amusement. An artesian well, sunk to a depth of sixty-five feet in the solid granite on the point near the hotel, furnishes an inexhaustible supply of purest drinking water, clear, cool and refreshing. A superior orchestm gives morning concerts in the drawing-room, plays during the hours for dining antl for the dancing in the evenmg. The in-door social amusements include dancing, games, entertainments, promenading on the extensive verandas and through the long halls, etc. Out-of- doors, tennis and crocjuet interest the young folks on grounds devoted to their use. The Crossmon's sur- roundings are attractive. Every crevice of the immense rock upon which its river side rests is adorned with a bed of flowers or a small shrub. On the street side are graveled walks and drives and a circular plat for out-door games, with easy benches protected by a canopy. Stretching eastward from the hotel \>, Crossmon's Point, with its broad level lawn, bordered by the docks and landings for steamboats and skiffs. At night the Crossmon, in-doors and out, presents a scene of brilliancy. Rows of colored lights illumine the verandas, and shine from its many towers, shed- ding a wealth of color upon the water. The drawing-rooms are filled with guests engaged in social pastimes, and all about the place there is light and life and gaiety. The arrival of the steamers at evening is celebrated by a display of fireworks in front of the hotel and on the neighboring islands, making a picture indescribably beautiful. Lunches for fishing and picnic parties are provided for the guests of the hotel, without extra charge, with all the neces- saries for an enjoyable open-air feast on one of the many unoccupied islands and points. THK THOUSAND ISLANDS. 21 The most experienced oarsmen on the river make their headciuarters at The Grossmen's docks and may be engaged by applying at the office, lioats and fishing tackle are easily obtainable. Mr. Charles \V.

Under his undivided control, The Crossmon will continue to maintain its high standard of excellence, adding to its advantages wherever possible. As the hotel is crowded much of the time during the season, it is advisable for parties desiring accommodations to engage them in advance.

CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES. fN the descriptive article of this book an outline is given of some of the amusements common to this resort. A general idea is all that can be imparted in reference to them. The observant visitor cannot fail to find a variety of attractions to occupy his time and make the days pass like brief moments. Indeed in this paradise of nature there seems to be little need of amusement, as it is a constant and ever increasing delight to sit or recline on piazzas or grassy banks, or in idly drifting boats, dreaming away the hours under the soothing spell of the soft summer air and beautiful surroundings. But those who seek more active pleasures will find them on every hand and in every form. FISH AND FISHING, Perhaps there is no more popular amusement, nor one that gives so much satisfaction, as a day's fishing trip, with a competent oarsman, a comfortable boat, a generous lunch, and all the requisites for successful angling. The Thousand Island oarsman has reduced his occupation to a science, and can give his patrons exceptional opportunities for the rarest sport, with surroundings in every way agreeable. He provides boat, fishing tackle and everything except lunch and bait. The latter he obtains in accordance with his employers' wishes and the former is furnished by the hotel, including linen, dishes, ice, etc. The wise fisherman makes an early start, and is rowed to some one of the many localities where game fish abound. Trolling and still-fishing and all the forms of the sport are indulged in, and the noon-time rarely comes until the fish box has received at least enough for a good dinner. A landing is made on an unoccupied island, and the oarsman is trans- formed into a cook, whose equal, in the preparation of fish at least, cannot be found even in the service of a Delmonico. Packed away beneath the seats and in the bow i;a.sti.k kkst. 24 TJIK THOUSAND ISLANDS. and stern of the boat he finds a table, camp chairs and cooking utensils, besides all the re(|uirements for a dinner. He builds a fire, cleans and cooks the fish and potatoes and makes a pot of most fragrant and delicious coffee. The table is set and there in the open air, with nature's fairest blessings all around, is a feast so appetizing and so complete that none who have ever enjoyed it can find words to express their fullest appreciation, or live so long as to have the pleasant memory dimmed. After the meal there is time for a short nap or a ramble over the island, while the boatman con- cludes his services as waiter and kitchen maid. The remain- der 01 the afternoon is devoted to angling for rare game, and if, perchance, a muscallonge takes the bait and is successfully land- ed the white flag waves proudly from the bow as the skiff speeds homeward at the setting of the sun. So attractive has this pursuit of sport been made at the Thousand Islands, that ladies enjoy it quite as much as thosa of the sterner sex, and a visit to the river is not complete without such an experience. Fine specimens of the muscallonge, king of fresh water fish, black bass, Oswego bass, wall-eyed pike and pickerel of unusual size are captured in these waters, in astonishingly large numbers, every season. DUCK HUNTING. In the fall many clever marksmen gather here for the duck hunting season, and are usually successful in obtaining some fine specimens. STEAMBOAT LINES. The transportation facilities between Alexandria Bay and all points on the river and Lake Ontario are all that can be desired. The swift and handsome steamers of the Thousand Island Steamboat Company connect with every train at Clayton and Cape Vincent, and with steamers for all points, while other boats of this fleet make excursions among the THE IIIFT. THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. 25 islands, and to the several interesting river towns on either shore. The Alexandria Bay Steamboat Company has a route between the Bay and Ogdensburg, and its new Island Wanderer makes a fifty mile trip among the islands, which is one of the most delightful features of this resort. The Richelieu and Ontario Ime of .steamers carry thousands of passengers down the river and through the rapids. The Rochester and Thousand Island Navigation Company and others have speedy and well ecjuipped steamers running between the lake and river ports during the entire season. RAILROAD FACIMTIES. The N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. (Company, operating the Rome, Watertown & Ogdens- burg railroad, the shortest and best route to the Thousand Islands, provides luxurious vestibuled day and night trains, run on fast schedules and making but few stops be- tween connecting points on the Central and the River. By the co-operation of the rail- road and steamboat lines a system of transportation is secured which is unexcelled in safety, convenience, promptness and comfort. THE PARKS. Thousand Island, West- minster, Central, Round Island, Edgewood and Grand View Parks are among the noted places on the river, because of their exceptionally fine locations and the attractions they offer to those desiring quiet summer homes. They have grown to the proportions of towns, with handsome cot- tages and broad, well shad- ed avenues. The largest and oldest of these parks, the Thousand Island, is controlled by Methodists, and, though subject to the restrictions of a religious organization, is the summer home of thousands from all parts of the country. THE LAKE OF THE ISLES. Perhaps the most beautiful spot in all this collection of nature's gems is the Lake of the Isles, so secluded as to be free from the swarm of river travel and the intrusion of the cottager, and yet within a half-hour's row from Alexandria Bay. It is about four miles long, and is prettily set into the lower end of Wells Island, Its inlet is through the rift, along which a skiff is swiftly carried by the current, needing only the oarsman's INLET TO THE RIKT. THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. guidance to make the passage safely. Its outlet, which is generally used in going in or oat of the lake, is a narrow channel guarded by high rocks, and giving a very striking and truthful suggestion of the scenery to which it leads. ILLUMINATIONS AND SALUTES. The traveler who arrives at the Thousand Islands in the evening and makes the passage down the river from Clayton to Alexandria Hay, or the excursionist who patronizes a "searchlight" trip among the islands, beholds a scene of splendor rivaling the most brilliant crea- tions of the Venetians. All along the American channel, between the points mentioned, the passing of the steamer at evening is the signal for a grand, continuous dis- play of fireworks, rockets, Roman candles, and vari- colored lights arranged in elaborate designs. Every hotel and private residence has its towers, windows and verandas illuminated, many evi- dencing lavish expendi- ture and admirable artis- tic skill. The heavens are lighted up by the momentary flight of arti- ficial stars through space, and the waters are ablaze with the reflection of the brilliancy on shore. It is a sight that cannot be fully depicted, but once seen it will never be forgotten. No passenger steamer passes up or down the river at any time during the summer visitors' stay at the islands without receiving a hearty greeting from the sojourners along the shore. Cannons, firearms, horns and flags are employed to emphasize the welcome and the good wishes, while happy parties are grouped on shore or dock, waving TlIK THOUSAND ISLANDS. 97 '**'>.i,. hands and handkerchiefs and awaiting the steamer's answer to their salute, which is invariably given by three blows from the whistle, accompanied by the pleased acknowl- edgements of the passengers. THK wanderer's TRIP. The New Island Wanderer makes a fifty-mile trip among the islands twice a day during the season. Its route is through the most attractive of the island scenery including its wildest features, as well as many of the points where art has been employed to add to nature's charms. ARCnrrECTURAL FEATURES. Within the past few years there has been a remarkable evolution in the style of the structure erected by the wealthy for summer homes at the islands. From tents and rude shelters made from rough boards and bark, it passed to the comfortable cottage, and then on to the form and size of per- manent and luxurious city establish, ments. Some of the most noted archi- tects in the country have been em- jployed in the planning of buildings erected here in recent years, and the most skillful artisans have executed their plans, while money has not been spared in supplying the best material with which to construct and decorate. The furnishings are as elegant, and in some respects as costly, as in the winter homes of the families for whom they are provided. In many cases the residences have outbuildings, in which laundrying and other work is done and power furnished for illuminating the house and grounds by electricity and supplying a miniature system of water works extending to all parts of the owner's domain. The beauty of design of many of the private steam yachts and the richness of their finishing and furnishings are in keeping with the general character of the establishments with which they tr^' are connected. VIKW IN TBB LAKB. SEARCH-LIGHT EXCURSIONS. A novel experience which may be enjoyed here is a search-light excursion among the islands. The steamers St. Lawrence and New Island Wanderer make these trips 28 TIIK rilOlNANI) ISLANDS. every evening when the season is at its height. They have powerful electric search- lights so arranged above their pilot houses that the operators can turn them in any direction in an instant, Hashing a flood of radiance over objects as far away as the eye can reach. Ludicrous incidents sometimes occur in the course of these excursions, such as the sudden llashing of the light's piercing rays on some lover's nook where two souls indulging in but (jne th(night are ruthlessly awakened Irom sweet seclusion to the most glarhig publicity. Some exceedingly beautifid effects are produ( ed by the rays of the search-light as they are cast upon the trees and rocks of the shores, or upon small yachts and skiffs gliding along the river. The sides of the pretty craft glisten like stars set in the dark water, and their occupants seem more fairy-like than human. As the light sweeps across land and water, from point to point it reveals many scenes worthy of the gifted artist's brush and imparts to them a peculiar appearance as of a glorious painting framed in boundless gloom. But, perhaps, the most charming sight is that which is observed on rare occasions when a large white-vanned bird is caught within the circle of the light and persistently followed until its strong wings carry it beyond the range of its pursuer. The contrast presented by the deep blue waters, the surrounding darkness and the bird in its flight, with its form silvered by the intense radiance, makes a picture that is fanciful and fascinating in the extreme. ISLAND DINNER. VIEWS OF DttWBY's ISLAND. THE RAPIDS. ULTITUDES who pass through the Thousand Island region inchulc in their journey the exciting experience of running the rapids of the St. Lawrence. From the islands the entire trip is made by dayUght on the steamers of the Riclielieu and Ontario Company's line, and tiiere is a constant succession of pleasing views and thri'.ling passages until the staunch craft is finally tossed from the foaming waters of the Lachine rapids into the harbor of Montreal. The Indians first learned to run these rapids, under the stimulus of a liberal reward offered by white mariners, and for many years they were generally employed as pilots, though recently while men have taken their places to a large extent. m:,".

Nature seems to have graduated the development of this wontler as the playwright or novelist carries his story along with ever increasing interest to a thrill- ing climax. T!.e Long Sault rapids are the third in the series, being nine miles in length and having two navigable channels divided by islands. The scenery commands admirat jn from every point, i'he boat passes from the turmoil of these rapids into the placid waters of Lake St. Francis, which has a length of forty miles and an average width of five miles. This part of the trip seems strangely ([uiet by contrast with that which preceded it, and re- stores the pulse-beats to their normal measure before the next wild plunge which inckules the Coteau, Cedars and Cascade rapids, a descent of eleven miles. Again comes the contrast of foam and fury with tranquility, as Lake St. Louis succeeds the Cascades. This lake is twelve miles long and half as many in width, and here the well informed tourist indulges in excited anticipation of the grand Ji/ia/g in the descent of the Lachine, the last and most dangerous of the rapids. Neither language nor painter's brush, nor both, can adequately portray the beauty and magnificence of this scene. The tempestuous sea, the world's greatest cataract, THE ISniA.N PILOT. 82 THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. and the immovable mountains seem to have lent to it a measure of their grandeur in form and sound, and to be engaged with each other in a mighty and never ending struggle for overmastering power. Waves dash high in air as they meet steadfast opposition from rock-bound shores or treacherous reefs, or are hurled back to meet the irresistible force of the on-rushing flood. The swirl of the eddies and the plunge down the aljrujit declines over the jagged rocks, lash the waters into whitest foam. HI'NNINO THE RAPIDS. The sensation experienced on board the steamer is the most thrilling that can be imagined. The immense vessel suddenly shoots forward at such a rate of speed that steam power is useless. Then there is a sudden sinking. Those experienced in sea and lake voyages naturally expect that the boat will rise again, but it does not. Again it rushes forward and again the sinking is felt, as if the vessel had ceased the terrific struggle and were seeking rest on the rocky bottom. And so it goes on and on, through a channel narrow and tortuous, seemingly courting destruction and yet surely escaping it by the skill of experienced pilots, until the river broadens and calms itself as it sweeps under the Victoria bridge to the wharVes of Montreal. m o w H CO D H Mi} iiisiiiiiiijiliiljilll NOTED ISLANDS AND POINTS. ON succeeding pages of this booic is a list of the inhabited islands and points, all of which will be found to have some measure of attraction to the sight-seer. lUit some of them, by reason of their exceptional location, or the beauty and costliness of the dwellings built upon them, or from the fame of their owners, receive special attention from the visitor on a tour of the river THE LARGEST ISLAND. Wolfe Island is the largest of the entire group, and is wholly in Canadian terri- ory. It stands like a sentinel, near the border line, at the foot of Lake Ontario. It s twenty-one miles long and fibout seven miles in width. Its principal settlement is 36 THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. Marysville, a village of several hundred inliabitants. Its soil is very fertile, as is evidenced by its many dairy farms, its verdant meadows and flourishing grain fields and gardens. A canal has been dug through the island to shorten the route between Cape Vincent and Kingston, WELI.S ISLAND. Wells Island is one of the most interesting. Its length is about eight miles and its width ranges from a few yards to four miles. The Thousand Island I'ark is at its head and Westminster Park is at its foot, opposite Alexandria I5ay. It is densely wooded in some parts and others have long been used for profitable farming. BONNIE CASTLE. Directly a'^ross the bay from The Crossmon, on one of the most sightly points on the river, is the stately home of the family of the late Dr. J. G. Holland, built during the lifetime of the famous literateur, according to his own ideas of elegance and comfort, and named from one of his most popular stories, " Bonnie Castle." Dr. Holland was an earnest admirer of the St. Lawrence and its islands, and during the last few years of his life he spent the larger part of every summer here. Pullman's "castle rest." Among the first of the wealthy and famous men who came to the islands to establish their summer homes was George M. Pullman, the well-known palace car magnate. He purchased one of the handsomest islands, just above Alexandria Bay, TJIK THOUSAND ISLANDS. 37 and built an unpretentious frame dwelling, which was made famous by the visit of Gen. Cirant, as the guest of its owner in 1872. A magnificent castle, built of rough stone, after the (lernian fortress style, and rising to the height of five stories, has taken the place of the first strut ire, but the historic room occupied by the great hero is preserved as a relic within its walls. After the new struc- ture was com- pleted, in 1888, Mr. I'ullman pre- sented it to his aged mother and it was named "Castle Rest." It has been the scene of many happy family re- unions,and is oc- cupied through- out every season. CARLETON ISLAND. Historic Carle- ton Island is a most interesting place, aside from its ruins and traditions, because of its situation near the source of the St. Lawrence. A considerable number of sojourners have visit'^d it in the past, and its future is very bright. IMPERIAL. Directly across the channel from The Crossmon, a few years ago, a large rock protruded above the river's cATCHiNo MuscALLONOE. surface, and a clump of scraggy bushes found a meagre growth in some soil that had lodged there. Its location, however, was so desirable that it found a purchaser, who made a very pretty island 88 THK THOUSAND ISLANDS. by filling in with rocks and dirt, and erecting walls to keep it intact. Its handsom- cottage and grounds, adorned by shade trees and lawn, furnish an illustration of how even a barren rock may be beautified in this region. Its name is Isle Imperial, and its owner is (lilberi S. Rafferty, of Pittsburg, Pa. INOLRSIUE COTTAOK. " Ingleside Cottage," one of the most beautifully located island residences oc the magnificent river, is owned by Mrs. G. R. Marsh, of Chicago. It occupies tlie eastern and southern portion of Cherry Island, comprising about four acres of rocky heights and mossy dells, and from its lovely piazza and high points of observatior commands an unrivaled view of the vast expanse miles down the river. Being siti; ated on the island nearest Alexandria Bay and the New York shore, it is renders more charming by its near proximity to this village of justly renowned summer hotel and most hospitable attentions. The residence occupies the site of the first cottag erected on any of the river islands in that vicinity for river tourists and was occupies) the first season by Mrs. E. C. Pullman, the revered mother of George M. Pullman TIIK THOUSAND ISLANPS. 30 and her family more than a (juartcr of a century ago. Indeed, the tiny cottage now forms the rear part of the present Ingleside, Mr. and Mrs. Marsh having refused a large price for it to be removed from its original site. Since its erection Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, with their son and family, have ever found pleasure in giving to many friends the earnest welcome to their sweet, sweet home, and contributing to the various interests of river enjoyment. A TRIPLET GK(}UP. Sport, Little Lehigh and Idlewild islands form a pretty group a short distance down the river from the Bay. Sport is owned by E. P. Wilbur, Little i,ehigh by W. A. and R. H. Wilbur, of Bethlehem, Pa., and Idlewild by Mrs. R. H. Kggleston, of New York. Large parties gather here yearly, as guests of the owners. 'J"he illuminations on Sport and Little Lehigh islands are especially elaborate. WEST POINT. Just across a narrow side channel from Pullman's island is West Point, owned by Mr. W. C. Browning, of New York. Upon a high bluff, which is a miniature like- ness of the noted place for which the spot is named, Mr. Browning has a summer home unsurpassed by any on the river. FRIENDLY. E. W. Dewey, of New York, is the owner of Friendly Island, which attracts attention, both because of its natural beauty and the grand residence which adorns it. Some views of it appear on another page. 40 TIIK THOUSAND ISLANDS. NOBBY. Another place where wealth has been lavished and artistic skill has been employed is Nobby Island, owned by H. K. Heath, of Brooklyn. Mr. Heath is also owner of the Devil's Oven. ST. KI.MO. In the same vicinity with Friendly and Nobby islands is St Klmo, the property of Nathaniel W. Hunt, of Brooklyn. Its grounds and cottage attract the tourist's attention. ST. JOHN. Judge Charles Donohue, of New York, owns what was formerly Plantagenet Island, and which he has renamed St. John. It commands a fine view of the river and Alexandria Bay. FAIRYLAND. Charles H. and William B. Hayden, of Columbus, O., with their families, are among the first arrivals at the river every year. Their large island, in the improve- ment of which they have been unmindful of expense, is worthy of the name they have given it — "Fairyland." These are but a few of the more costly and commodious summer residences at the river, and there are very many desirable islands and points still unoccupied. GEMS I'ROM TRAVELERS' WRITINGS. (*)Y0U("H has been written in description of the Thousand Islands by travelers who J ♦ have had such a wide range of observation that their testimony is of the highest value. Brief quotations from these writings are presented herewith, arranged accord- ing to their chronological order: Ihaac Wkli). Jr.— 1709. The scenery presented to view, in uiuiinK between tiicse Isltinds, i.s beautiful in tlie hl^he.st defj^rce. SomctimeH in pii8,sinir tlirougli ii niirrow straight, you And yourself in a biiNin, land locked on every side, that happens to have no eonununieation witli tiio lake, e.xeept by the passage through which you have entered. You are looking about, perhap.s, for an outlet, tliinklng at last to 8<'e some little channel widch will just admit your bateau— when suddenly an expanded slieet of water opens upon you, whose boundary is the horizon alone. Again in a few minutes you tlnd yourself land locked, and again a spacious passage as suddenly presents itself; at other times, when in the ndddle of one of tliese basins. iK'lween a cluster of islands, a dozen dillerent channels, like so ininy noble rivers, meet tlie eye, perhajjs eciually unexpectedly, and on each side the islands appear gularly retiritig until they sink from the sight iu the distance. Wm. Darby, Boundabv Surveyor- 1818. The world can present but few, if any, regions of equal extent where all that can allure the eye and gratify the mind can be found more condensed into one view. J. IlowisoN— 1820. The .scene reminded mo of the beautiful descriptions of the Happy Tslands in the Visions of Mlrzah, and I thought that if the Thousand Islands lay in tlic Bast, some cliaste imaglnaiion would propose that tliey should be made an a.sylum for sulTering humanity, and distributed according to the respective virtues and merits of those who deserved tliem. Henhv Tuoor— 1831. Nothing, however, can exceed, if equal, the Thou.sand Islands of the St. Lawrence. Here Nature has wrapped herself in all the witchery of her silent charms, and liere her lonely and sootlnng beauty speaks a language to the heart, unfelt by the proudest works of man. Charles Dickens— 1842. The beauty of this noble stream at almost any point, but especially in the commencement of this journey, wliere it winds its way among the Thousand Islands, can hardly be imagined. The number and constant succession of these islands, all green and richly wooded ; their fluctuating sizes, some so large that for half an hour together one among them will appear as the opposite bank of the river, and some so small that they are mere dimples on its bosom — their infinite variety of shapes— and th(! numl)erless combinations of beautiful forms which the trees growing on them present — all form a picture fraught with an uncommon interest and pleasure. Xavier Marmier— 1850. There is probably no river on earth that has heard so many vows of love as the St. Lawrence; for there is not a Canadian boatman that has ever passed up or down the river without repeating, as the blade of his oar dipped into the stream, and as it arose, the national refrain : "II y a longtemps que je t'aime, Jamais je ne t'oublierail " " Long time have I loved thee, Ne'er will I forget thee." John Sheridan Hogan — 1855. It is impossible, even for those whose habits and occupations naturally wean them from the pleasures derivable from such scenery, to avoid feelings akin to poetry while winding through the Thousand Islands. You feel, indeed, long after they have l)een passed, as if you had been awakened out of a blissful dream. Your memory brings up again and again the pictures of tlie clusters of the little islands rising out of the clear cold water. You think of the little bays and winding passages, embowered in trees; and recurring to the din and dust and heat and strife of the city you have left or the city you are going to, you wish in your heart you had seen more of nature, and less of business. 43 THK THOUSAND I8LAN0H.

All wa-s simple, primeval-- Nature (lothi'd in her own attire of leafy loveliness. Not a building, not a cottage was seen. No ascentling smoke, no signs of human life, no bleating animals, no (ilouglnnan's note, no stroke of the woodman's a.KC. no lalMir of the spade or hoe, wer«( anywhere visible; silence and rci)oHfl reigned in theHe islands, which in ancient times would have been peopled, in the imagination of poets, with nymphs and goddesses, without Interrupting sound, except the whispers of the wind. Nature lay undisturbed In her own soft lied; cradled in the waters; rocked in the elements, and soothed by the rippdng .stream as It pa.s.sed along. This simple, primitive slate of things has always be«'n. from the time when (lod spoke Creation into existence; or <'ertalaly from the period when, some convulsion breaking oil these; fragments from the mainland, He stretched out Ills hand to place them in their present position, to show His love of l)eauty, any which tlie^ gain at last the level of the oeeun, and the liiHtory of their triumphant course seems, um it were, wrillen on their face. "Pen and Sunlight Bkktciikh" — 1891. Not so wide as the Amazon, nor ho long as the Misissippi; not so famous for historic traditions as the Hudson, nor for ruined (lastles as the lUiine, yet the St. Lawrence is more attractive to the tourist than either, and sulfers by comparison w ith neither or all of them. As the channel through which all of the waters of the great lakes find tlu^ir way to the ocean, it could not be otherwise than miijestic, and being nuvigaiile its entire lengtli, it presents unusual attractions and delightful con- trasts to tlie voyager who takes a daylight trip among its charming scenery. As the lake begins to contract to a river, it would seem as though the land disputed its onward progress, and in the struggle for supremacy the restless current has broken the firm earth into a thousand fragments, some larger, some smaller, which vainly endeavor to entangle the waters in their downward course to the sea. KiNdBTON (Ont.) WlIKl— 1891. There are two famous groups of islands on this route, known as "Tlic Fairy Isles" and "Summer Land." which slioiild be very proud of their ideal beauty and stalely shapes, as no doubt tliey are. So rich are they in leafy verdure and freshnes-s of limb and branch that the words "Beauty — l)eauty still," are ever rising to the beholder's lips as thev did to those of Warburton. many years ago, when he passed through "the mazes of the Thousand Islands," and admired "tlieir beautiful rellections in the mirror of tlic calm, blue water," exclaiming, "Beauty — beauty still ! " All the islands hereabouts are of this character, and there are many, spreading their fairy loveliness to the sun and winds that give them life and motion, dreamy grace and poetic l)eauty, with the liberal hand of nature arranging and rearranging their lovely forms at will continually. THE RIVER OF DREAMS. [ From Obbaldine : A Souvenir of the St. Lawrence.] 'Tis the river of dreams. You may float in your boat on the i)looni-t»ordered streams. Where its islands like emeralds matchless are set, And forget that you live, and as quickly forget That they die in that world you have left; for the calm Of content is within you, the blessing of balm Is upon you forever. Mortality sleeps While you dream, an Immortal : some mistiness creeps Like a veil of forgetfulness over your past. And it is not. Your day is eternal, to last Without darkness, or change, or the shadow of dread. Blessed isles, where today and tomorrow are wed In such fullness of bliss. Blessed river that smiles In such beauty and peace by the beautiful isles. NAMES OF ISLANDS AND POINTS.

We wish to emphoMlxe the fact that the Hteand)oatH running in .'onnectlon with the Rome, Watertown & OKdensbiirK lOiilroad are staunch, safe boatH, built expresHly for, and adapted to, the waters they navijfttte ; tlmt they ure not old boats remodeled, nor boats brought fi'om <;alm and smooth river waters, and therefore unlit for navigation on such a lar^e body of water ua Lake Ontario, liable to sudden and violent storms. By taking the Rome, Watertown & OKdensburi; Railroad to Clayton, the traveler avoids the unpleasant ami monotonous trip over Lake Ontario, with its Inevitable "inal de iner" when the lake is rouRh, and also the llaltllity to delays and detentions when the loko steamers haul off from tlu ir re>?ular trips and refuse tn leave their moorinxs at Charlotte or Oswego, on account of scpialls on the lake or tempestuous wt^ather. The fast trains of the Rome, Watertown & OgdensburK Railroad run every day, tmhindercd by mjuuIIs or stormy weather, and paswnKcrs are always certam of makinK connections. These trains run to Clayton expressly to avoid the lake trip, and to enable tourists and pleasure-seekers to enjoy amonjr the Thousand Islands, the loveliest river resort In the world, the time thus K^ined, and which otherwise would be consumed in an luicertaiii and nninterestinK lake passage. The track has been relald with steel rails, the road-bed newly ballasted with gravel and stone, and the train service has been augmented and improved by the introduction of new. heavy and powerful locomotives, especially designed to haul heavy passenger trains at a high rate of speed. In former years, before the construction of through rail lines to the River St. Lawrence, this business was compellid to go via lake ports; but the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad, reolizing the great dissatisfaction occasioned by people being obliged to take the lake route, extended its rail line to Clayton, and established there the central point of the St. Lawrence River Steamboat System. Clayton at once became the great objective point for all travel destined to the St. Lawrence River, and the perfect train service, with its steamboat connections, maintained by the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad, meets the exacting reT>^~^ c^ V ^ ff ■ -a: •f 1 t- ■J ^oO^« -^.. >"..v--. emaoM J. .' , 1 A R 1, E T (n -■•?^-^-:-v R O jemptvl^l' Kj^ltoxrUIe 'Oxford '\ ^.
