OTTAWAJiOTEL. 
 
 MONTREAL, CANADA. 
 
 |ECENTLY the owners of this Hotel closed it for 
 the purpose of making extensive alterations in 
 the building. They have, at the enormous ex- 
 pense of nearly one hundred thousand dollars, 'sue 
 ceoded in placing the " Ottawa" on a par with the 
 leading hotels of America. The rooms, halls, offices 
 and parlors have been altered, enlarged and improved. 
 The light, ventilation and sanitary qualities are now 
 perfect, and are not excelled by any Hotel on the Con- 
 tinent. The house has been entirely flirnished 
 throughout with new and elegant furniture of the 
 Queen Anne and Eastlake patterns. There has also 
 been placed in the Hotel a magnificent passenger 
 elevator, steam heating apparatus, heating the whole 
 house, electric bells, elegant apartments with bath- 
 room en suite, and all other modern improvements 
 necessary to the comfort and convenience of its 
 patrons. Especial attention has been given to the 
 sanitary arrangements; every soil pipe is carried 
 through the roof of the building, so that not a particle 
 of noxious gas can escape through traps or otherwise 
 into the Hotel. Its location, either for tourists or

 a public entrance on each, and private entrance for 
 ladies. A saving of caiTiage hire is effected by being 
 in the centre of attractions. It is surrounded by our 
 finest buildings, next door to the office of the Consul- 
 General of the United States, and opposite the beau- 
 tiful Victoria Square. The charges for room, (board 
 included,) are $2.00 and $2.50 per diem. Eooms with 
 bath, etc., etc., extra. The cuisine is of unexceptional 
 excellence, and the management will endeavor to keep 
 it up to the standard in all respects of first class hotels 
 in the United States. Coaches will be found at the 
 railway depots and steamboat landings on the arrival 
 of all trains and steamers.

 LEWISTON. 
 
 fHIS village is situated at the head of navigation, 
 on the Ijower Niagara, and is a place of con- 
 siderable importance. It I three miles 
 below the Devil's Sole, and seven liwles below the 
 Falls. Lewiston is a plea^^ant, well-built village, but 
 its commercial prospects have bee., very much in- 
 jured by the construction of the Erie and Welland 
 Canals. 
 
 ftUEENSTON. 
 
 is a small village, situated nearly opposite to Lewis- 
 ton, and contains about 350 inhabitants. It is asso- 
 ciated in history with the gallant defence made by the 
 British on the adjacent heights in the war of 1812. 
 The village is pleasantly situated, but has suffered 
 from the same causes that have retarded the growth 
 of Lewiston. The river here becomes more tranquil, 
 the shores less broken and wild, and the chango in the 
 scenery affords a pleasing transition from the sablimo 
 to the beautiful. 
 
 BROOKES MONUMENT. 
 
 The monument stands on the Heights of Queenston, 
 from whence the village derives iis name. The 
 present structure occupies the site of the former one, 
 which was blown up by some miscreant, on the 17th 
 of April, 1840, The whole edifice is 485 feet high ; on

 KINGSTON. 
 
 This place was called by the Indians '' Cataracqui " 
 A settlement was begun by the French under De 
 Courcc les, as early as 1612. The Fort, which was 
 hnished the next year, was called Fort Fi-ontenac, in 
 honor of the French Count of that name. This Fort 
 was alternately in the possession of the French and 
 Indians, until it was destroyed by the expedition 
 under Col. Bradstreet in 1^58. In 1762 the place fell 
 into the hands of the English, from whom it received 
 Its present name. Kingston was one of the most im-

 the steamer for the purpose of piloting her down the 
 Lachine Eapids. Baptist, the old Indian Pilot, is as 
 anxiously looked for by passengers on board of steam- 
 ers d< vvn the Rapids as the Rapid itself; he is now an 
 old man, being about sixty-nine years of age, and has 
 made it his business for over forty years to pilot steam- 
 ers down the Rapids, and has not missed a day in 
 twenty years; during the summer season he is em- 
 ployed exclusively by the Richelieu and Ontario Navi- 
 gation Company. The village of Lapraiie is some 
 seven miles below Caughnawaga. 
 
 The Lachine Rapids, a few miles above Montreal, 
 the last rapids of importance that occur on the St. 
 Lawrence, are now considered the most difficult of 
 navigation. They are obviated by the Lachine Canal 
 8J miles in length, overcoming a descent of 44| feet. 
 
 And now the traveller comes to the last wonder of 
 the present age, namely, the Victoria Bridge, spanning 
 the noble St. Lawrence River, two miles long, the long- 
 est and largest bridge in the world, after Vhich the 
 delighted traveller comes in full view of the city of 
 Montreal, the most prominent object being the two 
 towers of the Church of Notre Dame. 
 
 CITY or MONTREAL. 
 
 The city of Montreal is the largest and most popu- 
 lous city in British North America. It was founded 
 by M. de Maissonneuve in 1042, on the site of an In- 
 dian village named Hochelaga, and dedicated to the 
 Virgin Mary as its patroness and its protectress, and 
 for a long time bore the name of Ville- Marie. It is 
 laid out in the form of a parallelogram, and contains 
 some two hundred streets, with a population of over 
 150,000.

 The traveller, in approaching the city from the 
 river is struck with the peculiar beauty of the laro-o 
 cut-stone btiidings which front the majestic Eiver St. 
 Lawrence, on whoso banks they are reared, resembling 
 iri their solid masonry and elegance the buildings of 
 European cities. 
 
 The Island of Montreal is, in fact, most properly 
 regarded as the garden of Canada. The city being at 
 the head of ship navigation, her local advantages are 
 unsurpassed. 
 
 In a commercial point, Montreal is the second city 
 on the continent, New York being first. Ten magni- 
 ficent steamship companies leave here weekly for 
 Eumpe, foremost of which are the Allan Lines, one 
 to Liverpool, the other to Glasgow. The docks 
 piers and wharfage of Montreal are the finest on the 
 Continent.

 PLACES OP INTEREST. 
 
 Among the many substantial and elegant edifices in 
 the city, of recent completion, may be mentioned : — 
 
 The Statue of Her Majesty— This admirable work of art, from 
 the Rtiidio of Mr. Marshall Wood, was erected at the south end 
 of Victoria Sciuare, en the 21st of November, 1873, and presented 
 to the city by H. E. the Governor General. The cost of the 
 Statu(!, including that of the pedestal— the gift of the Corpora- 
 tion— was $13,000. 
 
 The Court House on Notre Dame street, and directly opposite 
 Nelson's Monument, is of K'<>Q:ant cut-stone in the Greco-Ionic 
 style. The ground plan is JOO by 125 feet ; height 76 feet. 
 
 The New Post Office, on St. James street, is a beautiful cut- 
 stone building. 
 
 " The Gazette" Offices, corner Craig and St. Francois Xavier 
 streets. "The Gazette" was established in 1778, and is the 
 oldest newspaper in Canada. As both a commercial and family 
 newspiiper it is unrivalled, and its great influence in both 
 spheres is acknowledged. Tourists will find in its columns 
 every information. 
 
 The Merchant's Exchange, situated on St. Sacrament street. 
 
 The Mechanics' Institute, on St. Jam^ s street, a very fine 
 building of cut-stone, three stories high, built m the Italian

 in this city. 
 
 Albert Buildings, Victoria Square, a magnificent pile of grey

 The Bonsecours Market, on St. Paul and Water streets, is a 
 magnificent edifice in the Grecian and Doric style, and cost about 
 $300,000 ; has a front of three stories on water street, and two 
 stories on St Paul. 
 
 The McGill College.— This is an institution of very high re- 
 pute. It was founded by the Hon. Jam' ; McGill, who bequathed 
 a valuable estate and £10,000 lor its endowment. The buildings 
 for the Faculty of Arts are delightfully situated at the base of ^the 
 mountain, and command an extensive view. ^-«=16 ^« * 
 
 The wharves of the city are unsurpassed by any on the Ameri- 
 can (Continent. They are built of wood, and meeting with the 
 loc'is and cut-stone wharves of the Lachine Canal, they present 
 for several miles a display of continuous wharfage which has 
 few parallels. Unlike the levees of the Ohio am" Mississippi, no 
 unsightly warehouses disfi.guie the riv^er side, a broad terrace, 
 faced with grev limestone, the parapets of which are surmourited 
 wiili a substantial iron ruiung, divides the city frt 
 throughout its whole extent.

 The remaining public buildings worthy of notice are : the Old 
 Government House, Notre Dame t'treet, now occupied as the Nor- 
 mal School ; the Custom House, Common street; the Bon Paa- 
 teur Nunnery; Hotel Dieu Hospital, Sherkrooke street ; Church 
 of the Gesu, Bleury st.ett. 
 
 Mount Royal Cemetery is situated on the east side of the 
 mountain, about two miles from the city. Judgment and taste 
 have been displa) ed in the selection and management of the 
 grounds : it is much visited by strangers. 
 
 A point of interest to visitors is Notman k Sandham's Photo- 
 graphic Studio, on Bleury street, within three minutes walk 
 from the Hotel. Mr. Notman has gained a reputation for work- 
 manship, and for the superiority of his pictures, second to none 
 in America. The magnificent collection of Photographs shown 
 by him at the C(!ntennial, and for which he was awarded a Gold 
 Medal, was pronounced by all who saw them to be perfection in 
 photography. Messrs. Notman & Sandham will always be 
 pleased to welcome those who desire to visit their Art Gallery 
 and inspect the choice specimens on exhibition. 
 
 Viger Square, near the Champ de Mars, is beautifully laid out 
 into a garden, with conservatory, fountains, &c. 
 
 Place il'Armes is a handsome Square, betwe Notre Dame and 
 St. James streets, opposite the French Cai ledral. It is sur- 
 rounded by a neat iron railing, and tastefully laid out and 
 planted with shade trees ; in the centre is a fountain. 
 
 After visiting all the places of interest on foot, previous to 
 taking your drive, call upon Professor Harris, 722 Craig street, 
 the celel rated Surgecn Chiiopodist, who as a manipulator of 
 the pedal ex fiemities has no equal on this continent; a sure 
 eradicator of corns, bunions, in-growing nails, etc. 
 
 Victoria Bridge.— The cost of this gigantic structure was ori- 
 ginally estimated dt £1,450,000, but this sum has since been re- 
 duced, and the present calculation of its cost is about £1,250,- 
 000. In it 250,000 tons of stone and 7,500 tons of iron have 
 been used. The iron superstructure is supported by 24 purs

 and 2 abutments. The centre span is 330 feet; there are 12 
 spans each side of the centre of 245^ feet each. The extreme 
 length, including abutments, is TOOO feet. The height above 
 summer water level in the centre opening is 60 feet, descending 
 to either end at the rate of 1 in 130. The extent of the mason- 
 ry is 3,000,000 cubic feet. The weight of iron in the tubes is 
 8,000 tons. The dimensions of the tubes through which the 
 trains pass in the middle span, 22 feet hiph, 16 wide; at the ex- 
 treme ends, 19 feet high and 16 wide. Total length from the 
 river bank 10,284 feet, or about 50 yards less than two English 
 miles. 
 
 The Lachine Canal is among the public works particularly 
 worthy of note, and of which the city may well feel proud. The 
 head of water on this canal has been rendered available for the 
 creation of water power, applied most successfully to the move- 
 ments of very extensive machinery over a large extent of ground. 
 Among the works here are foundries, engine and boiler shops, 
 ship yards and marine works, saw mills, sash, blind and door 
 factories, flour mills, cotton mills, edge tool factories, etc., etc. 
 
 As a place of beauty and pleasur'j, the ride from the city 
 around Mount Royal will attract the traveller at all times. The 
 distance is 9 miles, commanding one of the finest views of beau- 
 tiful landscape to be found in North America, and in returning 
 to the city, a view of the St. Lawrence and of Montreal, compre- 
 hensive and extended, that well repays time and expense. 
 
 Next to the drive around the mountain is that on the Lachine 
 road, leading to a village of that name, nine miles from the city. 
 The road is directly along the banks of the river, presenting sce- 
 nery of unsurpassed beauty and grandeur. It is a lovely drive. 
 If the proper hour is selected, a view may be had of the descent 
 of the steamer over the rapids. 
 
 Another favorite drive in the immediate vicinity is to Longue 
 Pointe, being in an opposite direction from the last, and down 
 along the banks of the river. 
 
 The last new, and already very fashionable drive, is to the top 
 of Mount Royal, to our new and beautiful Mountain Park ; the 
 
36 
 
 OTTAWA HOTEJ. 
 
 road leadB from Upper Bleury street, and by a succession of easy 
 grades, winding through beautiful groves of trees, leads to the 
 very top of the Mountain, where one of the most magnificent 
 views on the continent may be had, taking in, as it does, the 
 whole city of Montreal and its environs, the Great Victoria 
 Bridge, St. Helen's Island, and the surrounding country for many 
 miles. The Mountain and the land adjoining was bought by 
 the city about five years ago at very large expense ; and 
 under the able direction of Mr. Olmstead, the gentleman who 
 gained so high a reputation by his beautiful plans for Central 
 Park, N.Y., a large number of men were employed laying out the 
 grounds, grading the roads and walks, &c. As now finished, it 
 is in many respects the finest Park on the continent ; its natural 
 facilities and the grand views to be had afford great advantages 
 over anv other Park in the world. 
 
 « 
 
 It would be useless to undertake an enumeration of all the 
 places of interest in and about Montreal, for we believe that 
 there are but few places on the American Continent where 
 can be found so much of interest to the traveller, whether m 
 pursuit of health or pleasure, as in this city.

 flicts of military heroes, who bled and died in the as- 
 sault and defence of its walls, are here re-read with 
 tenfold interest. Then the lover of nature in her 
 grandest and most rugged, as in her gentler and most 
 smiling forms, will find in and around it an affluence 
 of sublime and beautiful objects. The man of science 
 too, may be equally gratified, for here the great forces 
 ot nature and secret alchemy may be studied with ad- 
 vantage Quebec can never be a tame or insipid place 
 and with moderate opportunities for advancement, it 
 must become one of the greatest cities of the l^ew 
 World, in respect of learning, arts, commerce and 
 manufactures.

 reduced to fifty souls.

 A ride to the Plains of Abraham is one of the most 
 interesting visits about the celebrated city; a rock is 
 there pointed out as the spot where General Wolfe 
 expii-ed There are four martello towers, forty feet 
 in height, standing upon the plain, about half a mile 
 m advance of the other fortifications. 
 
 Seven miles below Quebec is the Pall of Montmo- 
 rency. The road is very pleasant, passing through 
 the French village of Beauport. Those who expect 
 to see a second Niagara will be very much disappoint- 
 ^. The stream descends in silvery threads over a 
 precipice two hundred and forty feet in height, and, in 
 <Jonnection with the surrounding scenery, is extremely 
 picturesque and beautiful, but inspires none of the awe

 out doubt, well v/orth seeing, and there is no trouble 
 m reaching it. Travellers when at Montreal can 
 select either the Grand Trunk or Q. M. O & O Rail 
 roads, or take the Ottawa River l^avigation Companv's 
 beautiful boats, (which on return run the Lachine 
 Kapids,) each route being extremely interesting. 
 
 Ottawa has risen very rapidly, is well laid o it, and 
 contains many exceedingly handsome buildings, so 
 many, indeed, that we cannot particularize all of them 
 Its two principal lions are the Houses of Parliament and 
 two Departmental blocks, colossal piles of masonry 
 standing out in bold relief against the sky, and sur- 
 rounded with exquisitely beautiful scenery and well 
 kept large grounds, and the Chaudiere Falls, second 
 only in grandeur to Niagara itself Any description 
 ofthese two sights would entirely fail to give any 
 adequate idea of their beauty, so we refrain from en- 
 deavouring to paint alii In addition, Ottawa bein« 
 the headquarters of lae great Canadian lumber 
 industry, there are numbers of saw-mills, hutre nilino- 
 grounds and timber slides. The Parliamentarf 
 Library, magnificent Post Office, Geological Museum, 
 lown Hall, many remarkably fine bank buildings and 
 private residences, Suspension Bridge over the Ottawa 
 Kiver, J^_;ddys immense wooden ware and match 
 lactory, the charming Lover's Walk, several handsome 
 churches of all denominations, and other objects of 
 attraction. The tourist will never regret making a 
 pilgrimage to Ottawa. Of course there is excellent 
 Hotel accommodation.
