 NIAGARA FALLS 
 
 HKRI-! is no more beautiful sceuery on the conti- 
 nent of America than that which lies ])et\veen 
 Niagara and the sea. Commencing at the Falls of 
 Niagara on the southern shore, then crossing Lake 
 Ontario to Toronto, the Queen City of the West ; 
 embarking on one of the steamers of the Richelieu 
 and Ontario Navigation Company, following the course of the lake 
 past the romantic waters of the Bay of Quinte to Kingston, thence 
 down the St. Lawrence, threading in and out of the Thousand Islands 
 into the open stretch to Lake St. Francis, shooting the rapids, stop- 
 ping over at Montreal and Quebec, and finally reaching the crowing 
 glory of all, the incomparable grandeur of the Saguenay River. 
 
 Before civilization had changed the aspect of North America, 
 the grandeur of Niagara was known to the inhabitants of the Old 
 World : and to-day, when the facilities of trans- 
 portation have brought the most remote places 
 within easy access, it ns still regarded as Nature's greatest creation. 
 The scene is much changed since the day when it was regarded as 
 an object of superstitious fear by the Indians. Then, perhaps, its 
 environment was more harmonious. Hemmed in by a dense forest, 
 the approach to the Falls in those early days must have inspired a 
 feeling of reverence and awe. The 
 only means of access was a nar- 
 row Indian path, but long before 
 the majesty of the scene burst 
 upon the spectator, the rumbling 
 and crashing of its waters was 
 heard, increasing with every step. 
 No wonder that, to the Indian, 
 Niagara was .sacred, or that at 
 .stated periods pilgrimages were

 a cra.sh that w;is hear*! miles fioiii tlie ^eene. reihaj)S the best 
 description that lla^ c\rr bt-eii written is Irom the pen of Charles 
 nickt-ns, whieli we give herewith: "At length we alighted; 
 :ind then for the fust time I heard the mighty rush of water, and 
 lelt the gviinnd tremble nnderneath my leet. 'I'he bank is ver\- 
 steep, and was slij)per\' with rain and hall' melted ice. 1 hardl\- 
 know how I got down, but I was soon at the bottom, and climbing, 
 with two I",ii,i;li.sh otlicers who were crossing and had joined me, 
 over some broken rocks, dealeiied by the noi.se, half blinded b>' the 
 spra\ , and wet to the skin. We were at the loot of the American 
 hall. I conld see an im- 
 mense torrent of water 
 tearing headlong down 
 Irom some j^reat height, 
 bnt had no idea of shape, 
 or situation, or an\thing 
 but vagne immensity. 
 When we were seated in 
 the little ferry boat, and 
 were crossing the swollen 
 river immediatel\- before 
 the cataracts, 1 be_L;an to 
 feel what it was ; bnt I 
 was in a manner stnn- 
 iitd, and unable to com- 
 prehend the vastness of 
 
 the scene. It was not until I came on Table Rock and looked — gr.^a. 
 Heaven, on what a fall of bright green water I — that it came upon 
 me in its fnll might and majesty. Then, when I felt how near to 
 my Creator I was standing, the first effect, and the endnring one — 
 instant and lasting — of the tremendous spectacle, was Peace. Peace 
 <if mind, trancpiility. calm recollections of the dead, great thonghts 
 of etern.al rest and happiness ; nothing of gloom or terror. Niagara 
 was at once stam]ied npon my heart, an image of beanty ; to remain 
 there changeless and indelible, until its pulses cease to beat forever. 
 < )h, how the strife and trouble of daily life receded from m\- view, 
 and lessened in the distance, during the ten memorable days we 
 ])as.sed on that enchar.ted groinul ! What voices spoke from out the 
 thundering water ; what faces, faded from the earth, looked out

 watching the river as, stirred by no visii)le cause, it heaved and 
 eddied and awoke the echoes, being troubled yet, far down beneath 
 the surface, by its giant leap ; to have Niagara before me, lighted 
 by the sun ami l)y the moon, red in the day's decline, and grey as 
 evening slowly fell upon it ; to look upon it every day, wake up in 
 the night and hear its ceaseless voice ; this was enough. I think in 
 every <iuiel season now, still do these waters roll and leap and roar 
 and tumble, all ila>- long ; still are the rainbows spanning them, a 
 hundred feet below. Still, when the sun is on them, do they shine 
 and glow like molten gold. Still, when the day is gloomy, do they 
 tall like snow, or seem to crumble away like the trout of a great 
 chalk clitr, or roll down the rock like dense white smoke. But 
 always does the mighty stream appear to die as it comes down, and 
 always from its unfathomable grave arises that tremendous ghost of

 Hotels have been erected and bridges span the river. 'iMie region of 
 the I'^alls, above and below, presents a series of delightful pictures 
 that will claim the leisure of the visitor. ( )ne of the most picturesque 
 spots, though seldom explored by tourists, lies between the whirlpool 
 and Queenston. We must now leave Niagara, and proceed on a 
 short journey, either by rail or electric car, to the historic village of 
 (Queenston, wdiere, from the Heights, we can review much of the 
 scenery we have .seen in detail. The country here is particularly 
 interesting. Yonder on the eminence is the monument 
 erected by Canada in honour of Sir Isaac Brock, who 
 fell during an engagement with the American troops 
 on the 13th of October,

 at the top of the column, 
 reached by a spiral stair- 
 way, a fine view is ob- 
 tained. On the opposite 
 .shore is the American 
 village of Lewiston, and 
 from the gorge above we 
 see the river as it comes 
 foaming down, eager to 
 end its struggles in the 
 calm expanse of the Bay 
 into which it spreads

 The cit\- of Toronto, popnlalion iSS,(K)0, the second in import- 
 ance of the business centres of the Dominion, is of conijiaratix'ely 
 recent growth. In the middle of the last ceiitur}' the site w.is a 
 tiackless wilderness, the onlv inhabitants being a

 ])owerlul tribe ()l Indi.ins. In i 749, nn<ler the govern- 
 ment of I'Vance, a trading jiost was established, bearing the name 
 of b"ort Rcnnlle ; not long after, the country passed into the hands of 
 the ISritish, and we do not hear much of what took place at I'ort 
 Ronille until 179,^, and there seems to have been little change during 
 the next hall' centurw In 179J Lieut. -Governor vSimcoe arrived in 
 the colonx- from ICngland, and established his government at Niagara. 
 During the tbllowing year, being dissatisfied with the location of his 
 (juarters, he set 
 forth to select 
 from the vast tlo- 
 main under his 
 rule a site on 
 whiidi to estab- 
 lish a ])ermanent 
 .seal of gox'crn- 
 ment worth\- of 
 the territor\' it 
 was to represent. 
 He had not far 
 to Seek, nor has

 his I hoice since 
 been ([uestioned. 
 Crossing the

 the French to adopt it as a tracUng jiost fifty years before, in oppo- 
 sition to the l-'.nglish post on tlie Oswego. 
 
 On hmding, Simcoe ])itched liis tent near the sliore, and soon a 
 large body of men w-re clearing the forest and cutting roads. 
 Simcoe named the city York, and remained for sexeral months 
 superintending the development of the infant capital. The first 
 road that was cleared was Vonge street, connecting the seat ot 
 
 government with the 
 Holland River, and open- 
 ing up the waterway to 
 the West. The residence 
 of the Governor and 
 Parliament buidings 
 were established near the 
 shore, and from this date. 
 1793, the city of York 
 takes its birth. 
 
 There is little left in 
 Toronto or in the neigh- 
 bourhood suggestive of 
 its early history ; the 
 principal feature that re- 
 calls its memory is a massive granite ])Oulder in the Oueen's Park, 
 bearing this inscription :

 The a(hninistration of Simcoe was of brief duration ; he was 
 recalled to h'ngland in 1790, and little imiirovement was made under 
 his immediate successors. Troublesome times were in store for the 
 young city : its pioneers were early taught that .security and inde- 
 pendence were only to l)c o!)tained after bitter conflict. Jvarly in 
 the year 1S12 a threatened invasion by the adjoining country turned 
 all thoughts into the Jmore .serious channels of defence, and for

 tLiving l)rieny reviewed the principal points in the history of 
 the city, we prepare ourselves for sight-.seeing. We will start from 
 our comfortable, well-ecjuipped hotel, the Rossiu House, at the 
 ^(luth-east c(irner of King and York streets, and drive up to (Jueen's 
 I'ark, stopjMug at the Parliament buildings, a statel>- pile, but 
 recxntl}' completed. Hurriedl\' we walk through its spacious cor- 
 ridors, glance in at the libiarw admire the beaut>- of tlu- .VsscMubly 
 L'hainbtr, and then resume our drive. Hut a few rods r.way, in the 
 western i>art of the park, is Toronto University, the pride ot" the city. 
 
 Xot long ago an enuuent Lnglish traveller observed that ■" the 
 rni\ersit\- of Toronto was, perha])S, the onl\- piece of collegiate 
 architecture on the .\merican continent worth)- ot' standing-room in

 the streets of Oxford." In its architectural features it l)elongs 
 essentially to the OKI World. The buildings are the special glory 
 of the cit> ; the style is Xornian, the proportions being noble and 
 the harmony of the whole ex([uisite. The University was founded 
 under a royal charter in 1S27, and it has an endowment of one 
 million eight hundred thousand dollars. Its faculties include those of 
 Arts, vScience, Law, Theology and Medicine, and it is in federation 
 
 TOKONTO VNIVICRSITY. 
 
 with University College and Victoria University. It has also provision 
 for residence, in this respect differing from most of the Canadian 
 universities. The University proper, as in London and el.sewhere, 
 is a degree-conferring body, teaching being vested in the colleges. 
 
 Leaving the academic shades, we wander through the beautiful 
 drives and walks of the park, which forms part of the endowment of 
 the University, but many ye irs ago was leased to the Corporation, 
 by the authorities, for the benefit of the citizens. Situated near the 
 University is the mc ument erected to the memory of the Canadian 
 volunteers who fell while defending the frontier during the Fenian 
 invasion of iShj. 
 
 Osgoode Hall —the palace of justice — where the highest courts of 
 the Province are held, will claim our attention while in this vicinity. 
 Interesting is the exterior structure of this building, but its beauty 
 is altogether eclipsed by the riclmess and elegance of its interior. 
 
 Another building, on Uueen street, worthy of note is the 
 University of Trinity College, founded in 1852, and having an

 al)ont iheni, and the interior is l)eautiful. 
 
 Still driving through the (Queen's Park, we apjiroach \'ictoria 
 I'liiversity, much smaller than its sister, i)Ut architecturally a gem. 
 As we leave the Park we catch a glimpse of McMaster University, 
 a grand looking structure of cut stone and pressed brick. Driving 
 along Hlror street, westward, we pass up vSi. Oeorge street, one of 
 the lie.sl residential streets in the city. The stately homes tell the 
 tale of prosperity and comlbrt. W.nding arountl eastward, we cross 
 Vonge street and enter the charming suburb of Rosedale. Mere the 
 drive winds in and out in a delightfull\- irregular manner, while on 
 every hand are the magnificent homes of Toronto's wealthy citizens. 
 One of the charms of Toronto, in fact the one that impresses us all, 
 is the beaulN' of the lawns and extensive grounds which surround 
 .so many of the homes. We have not time to drive through the 
 Rosedale ravines, but catch glimpses of the.se sylvan retreats as we 
 cross the many high bridges leading back to Pdoor street. Then we 
 drive down Jarvis street over the smooth asphalt, and, ga/.ing with 
 delight at the charming houses and well-trimmed lawns, gaily 
 bedecked with flowers, we, too, are forced to admit that Jarvis street 
 
 has also provision 
 
 of the Canadian 
 on and el.sewhere, 
 
 in the colleges.

 Here, thouj^h larj;ely shrouded in mystery, were fought the 
 fiercest and most relentless battles for the possession of the Midland 
 region of Canada. The territory was well worth fighting for. It is 
 the fabled " happy hunting-ground " : deer, black bear, lake salmon, 
 sturgeon, bass and lake trout were found in lavish aliundance, and 
 still amply repay the skill of the sportsman : and wild rice and mai/e 
 grew o\-er vast tracts. No wonder, then, that Huron and Algon- 
 quin struggled valiaml>', though unsuccessfully, to retain po.s.^'ession 
 against the attacks of the Irocpiois, that race of athletes who horded 
 it over halt a continent, and who.se alliance was eagerly courted by

 Our thoughts are ({uicklN- turned into other channels as we 
 draw nearer to the prosperous town of Port Hope, which once bore 
 the Indian name of (lanaraske. The town is most 
 picturesquely situated on the north shore of the lake, 
 rising in the background to a noble eminence, rendering it one of 
 the most healthful of residential situations. To the sportsman it is 
 a paradise, as from its jjosition it is the gateway to the sporting 
 territory of the region. 
 
 The next stoppage is six miles further along the coast, at 
 Cobourg (5,000), a town of considerable business activity, it being 
 the distributing centre of an exceedingly fertile portion 
 of the Province. It is a place of no mean pretensions to 
 beauty, its streets being Inroad and neatly laid out, as well as fre- 
 quetly adorned by elegant public and private buildings. The drives

 the morning, we shall leave her with all her slumbering passengers, 
 to trace a very pleasant detour through the Murray 
 Canal and Bay of Quinte, available to tourists by 
 means of the Richelieu Company's new iron steamer " Hamilton," 
 which alone takes this route down, whereas all the steamers take 
 this course on their return trip. 
 
 The steamer takes a circuitous course from Cobourg to its next 
 stopping place, Brighton, passing in the distance on the right the 
 Sandbanks, the Scotch Bonnet light and Weller's Bay. After 
 rounding the Presque Isle light into the bay of the same name, it 
 has to trace a devious way among the difficult and intricate chan- 
 nels, buoyed up by a system of range lights to facilitate navigation 
 among its shoals, until finally the port of Brighton is reached. 
 This has a well-sheltered harbour, and is a district of considerable 
 industrial activity, its manufactures covering flouring and plaster 
 Hiills, a tannery, and canning works. 
 
 From Brighton we cross the end of Presque Isle Bay to the 
 Murray Canal, which has recently been constructed across the nar- 
 row isthmus that joins the Prince Edward peninsula to the main 
 land. The construction has been the means of opening up for a

 to drift back lo the heroic I'cnelon, l)rother of the famous Archbishop 
 of Cambray, who, in i66S, directed his steps into the heart of these 
 solitudes. Reared amid the refined luxury of his ancestral home at 
 Perigord, with the prospect of the alliance of his house with one of 
 the most powerful families of b'rance. there is a tinge of romance 
 mingled with his deeds. But as we peruse the narrative which his- 
 tory has preserved of the struggles, ])rivati()ns and dangers to which 
 he was exposed in extending the cause of religion, terminating with 
 his life at the early age of thirty-eight, the romantit: spell is broken, 
 and there gathers around his memory the aureole of mart}rdom. 
 
 Lea\ ing the Murray Canal, the steamer courses along 
 the south shore, i)ast Indian Island, over to Trenton 
 (5,000), at the mouth of the Ri\-LM Trent. This is at once the centre

 the steamboat lines. The town has a beautiful and commanding site 
 at the head of the Bay of (^uinte, of which it has the sweep clear up 
 to Belleville. (Jn the west it is flanked by the sister mounts, Pelion 
 and O.ssa, from who.se elevated summits the lowlands and the bay, 
 with its beautiful indentations of coast line, stretch before the eye 
 in splendid panorama. Northward, the eye can catch, amid the 
 undulating hills of Sidney and ot Murray, the gleaming waters of 
 Trent's meandering stream, while southward, beyond the bay and 
 the peninsula as far as the sight can reach, lies Lake Ontario's 
 boundless blue, the waters of an inland sea. 
 
 Leaving Trenton, the steamer passes Baker's and Nigger's 
 Lslands on the left up the bay towards Belleville. On our riglt is 
 Rednerville, the principal shipping port of the townships of Amelias- 
 burg and Hillier, well known for their fruit industries. Their apple 
 and grape production is exceedingly progressive, both in quantity 
 and quality. 
 
 In the distance over our bows looms up by this time the long 
 and graceful span of Quinte Bridge, which is said to be the longest 
 highway bridge in America. To the left, before we reach the bridge, 
 is seen the Provincial Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. As we

 near the massive bridge, its ])oiulerous draw is opened at a signal 
 from llie steamer's whistle, and we glide swiftly throngh the chasm 
 of the gracefnl strncture, which, from the distance, seemed to present 
 an impass d)le barrier to onr progress. 
 
 ICntering the harbour, the eyes rest upon the city of Belleville 
 (population 11,000!, the county town of Hastings, at the mouth of 
 the Moira River. A brief glance at the situation and 
 surroundings of the city is sufficient to convince the 
 tourist or sportsman that nature has singled out this spot as an ideal 
 summer resort. I'ar out in the open waters, or winding in and out 
 along the shore, hidden among its coves, are a series of camping and 
 fishing grounds, the discovery of which will fill the sportsman with 
 
 BELLEVILLE.

 delight. Here, amidst an infinite variety of scenery, and the enjoy- 
 ment of rare and pure atmosphere, for which the district is famous, 
 the pleasures of boating and yachting may be indulged in to the 
 heart's content. Bass fishing is the main sport of the bay ; this 
 gamey fish is very numerous in its waters, giving place in season to 
 the mere exciting sport of maskinonge fishing, while a few miles 
 inland are famous trouting grounds. Not only ■. the bummer, but 
 at all seasons, Belleville holds out special inducements to those 
 devoted to pleasure or sport. In the fall duck shooting attracts 
 numerous sportsmen to the bay, and blue bills and black ducks, 
 mallards, red heads and widgeon are found in alnindance along its 
 marshes, and fair partridge shooting is to be had. In autumn

 us before we set ft)ot on the shores of the city commonly known as 
 the " Beautiful." From any elevated site its claim to this title will 
 be found justified. In the centre of the valley, through which the 
 River Moira Hows to the bay, is the business part of the city, with 
 its substantial V)uildings and well-ordered streets, picturesque even 
 in its thoroughfares. On the hills which rise gradually from the 
 vale are scattered the modern and beautiful homes of its citizens, 
 amid shrouded nooks and retreats, combining the pleasures of rural 
 life with the advantages of a thriving city.

 In hotel accommodation the city stands pre-eminent, for nothing 
 finer is to be found in the Province than the Hotel Ouinte. It is 
 liandsome in appearance, constructed on a good plan, furnished with 
 all the improvements that art and wealth could suggest, and capable 
 of meeting the requirements of the most fastidious. The situation 
 of the hot^-1 is ta\ourable, as it commands an e.vtensive view of the 
 bay and the surrounding country. 
 
 Belleville boasts of a number of fine public buildings, the most 
 ncjteworthy <>! which are the Court Mou.^e, the Armour}- and Drill 
 Hall, the Post (Jthce, City Hall and other Government buildings, 
 and the Carman (>])era House. The principal seat of learning is

 Albert College, a group of buildings comprising chapel and class 
 rooms, dormitory and professors' residence, gymnasium and museuiu 
 of natural history. The other leading institutions are the Higli 
 School, the Ontario Business College, I'elleville Business College 
 and the Ontario Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. 
 
 In a tour through the city many of the churches representing.; 
 various denominations will meet the eye. .Some of them are lieauti 
 ful in design, while others, less pretentious, are interesting, as beini; 
 as.sociated with the earliest development of Belleville, and are all 
 worthy of a city whose churches have sent out men of distinction to 
 all parts of Canada. 
 
 vSuburban Belleville is not less beautiful than the immediate limits 
 of the city. There are a number of charming drives, and quiet, 
 secluded retreats that appeal to every lover of the beautiful, and 
 either l)y land or water the scenery presented is enchanting. The 
 cemetery, on the bay shore, occupies an ideal situation and i> 
 tastefully laid out. 
 
 There are three famous fishing grounds in the Bay of Quinte, 
 besides the sport which ma>- be found in almo.st every part of these 
 waters. Abotit twenty miles east of Belleville is Hay Bay, in which 
 there is as good fishing and duck shooting as any found in the 
 district. Fine maskinongc fishing is to be obtained in Mosquito 
 Bay, between Croose and Indian islands, also at Glen Island. Mas- 
 sassaga Hotel is about two miles from the shore of Mo.squito Bay. 
 
 At the west end of the Bay of Ouinte, near the Murray Canal, 
 there is excellent maskinongc and ba.ss fishing, and as the spot 
 may be reached by the daily steamers from Belleville, it is a most 
 desirable ground. 
 
 Guides to conduct sportsmen to the best sjiots are always on 
 hand, and every requisite for the tourist or sportsman may be 
 obtained in the city. 
 
 P'our rivers flow uito the Bay of Quirte, and facilitate commu- 
 nication with the interior of the Province. The natural advantages 
 of its situation early attracted settlers to its shores. 
 
 Our steamer now crosses over the bay to Belleville's charmin;; 
 summer resort, Massassaga Point. It contains a first-cla.ss hotel 
 and several cottages, and is set in the midst of a .scene of une{iualle(i 
 beauty. Besides being in the centre of the haunts of the maskinongc 
 it provides for every kind of amusement. The park, of 200 acres 
 is well laid out with lawn tennis courts, archery and croquet grounds.

 years ago, and the water is furnished to hot and cold baths, which 
 liave been found highly beneficial. 
 
 Leaving Massassaga Point, the steamer enters an expansion of 
 the bay, across which she traverses past Ox Point and Point Ann, 
 with their inexhaustible limestone quarries, and P>ig Lsland. To the 
 right IS the village of North Port, the shipping place of the township 
 
 (.t.ENOKA, ONT. 
 
 of Sophiasburg, a district which produces large quantities of apples, 
 cheese and hops. 
 
 Moving on westward, Telegraph Island is pas.sed, with its light- 
 house, Peterson's P'erry on the right, and on the left the Mohawk 
 Indian Re.ser\e of Tyendenaga, a block of territory which the white 
 intruder left to the ancestral owners of the whole land. It is popu- 
 lated by the six Nation Indians — Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, 
 Senecas, Cayugas and Tuscaroras — remnants of the intrepid Iroquois, 
 who left the main stock of their people in New York, in 1784, and 
 came to Canada. Here they have settled down in peace, while the 
 while man, with his rushing railways and his noisy manufactories, 
 is rapidly obliterating the traces of his old hunting grounds, in the

 lakes. 'riR\ are a Christian cointmniity, as is attested by the gre\ 
 spire of tile church, that can be seen from the bay, Hfting its hea'l 
 above the rhisterin^^ trees. A j^ift to which the Inchans point witli 
 pride is a silver conininnion service, presented to them by Queen 
 Amie, carefully preserved anil loyally cherished. In many ways 
 they show exce])tional gifts, especially in the line of practical arts 
 such as needle work, for which the Mt)havvk mothers are famous 
 Kven the children show a natural skill in drawing, in which the\ 
 evince a decided superiority over white boys of the same age. The 
 men occupy themselves either al agricultural pursuits or in the 
 employment of some of De.seronto's manufactories. 
 
 As we draw near the docks 
 of Deseronto our steamer 
 pas.sse Forester's Island Park 
 owned by Dr. Oronytechka, a 
 pleasant summer resort com 
 manding an extensive view. 
 This island was a part of 
 the domain of the powerful 
 Mf)havvk chief, whose name is 
 perpetuated in the busy port 
 we are now entering. 
 Deseronto is conspicuous from the distance by the massive lum 
 ber piles, the tall smoking chimneys from the numerous large 
 factories, some brick-coloured and some of /ne colour 
 of zinc ; by the dock-yards, with the steamers and ves 
 sels in process of construction or repair, all giving a prepossession 
 to the syectator that this is surely a place of great industrial activiity. 
 The town is built on a hill which rises gradually from the 
 water's edge northwards. vSiluated on an elbow of the bay where 
 the lielleville Reach abruptly turns from the north-east to south 
 int(j the Picton Reach, it has a survey of the beautiful scenery o! 
 both, as well as, towards the east, of the tortuous channels of the 
 Napanee River Tovvard the west the Telegraph Island Light 
 looms up in the misty distance like a fairy tower floating on the 
 water's surface : towards the south, the long stretch of elevatetl 
 coast, clothed in forage green, .seems to approach so close to the 
 opposite shore, away ahead, as to leave apparently only a narrow 
 gorge between l)et\veen, through which, now and then, appear the 
 sails of yachts and .sc.:iooners working up the Reach.

 a marvellous stretch of lake and woodland grandeur is obtainable. 
 From the slieltered position of its harbour, Picton is highly favoured 
 as the shipping centre of Prince I{dward county. PVuit and grain are 
 grown in abundance in this region and distributed from Picton. 
 It is a manufacturing town of importance, having large canning 
 factories, foundries, and a ship-\prd for the building and repairing 
 of vessels. It is also the terminus of the Central Ontario Railroad. 
 
 The town is provided with all modern improvements in the way 
 of water works, electric light, fire alarm, telephone and telegraph 
 systems. The drives on either side of the town are very fine, the 
 roads being excellent and tracing a way among rich farm-lands, 
 splendid orchards, rural homes, and beautiful inland lakes, as the\- 
 near the shores of Lake Ontario. 
 
 About ten miles from Picton, on the lake-side of Prince Edward 
 county, are the vSandbanks, mounds of shifting sand on the margin 
 of the great lake. 
 
 On leaving Picton the steamer courses along the shore in the 
 direction of Odenora, where the land rises abruptly to an elevation

 extensive llouring mills, foundr>' ami machine shops, deriving their 
 power by water carried through a narrow pipe from the lake on the 
 summit of the cliff, the celebrated Lake on the Mountain. It is a 
 little circular sheet of blue water, nestling like an alpine lake among 
 its trees in cosy solitude. There is a romantic beauty about this 
 lake, as well as a tinge of mystery. Being on a level with Lake 
 Krie, and with no apparent inlet, it is supposed to be cotuiected with 
 it by means of su))terranean chaimels. Clear atul crystal are its 
 depths, which remain unfathomed, an ideal spot around which to 
 weave dainty stories that may vie with the beauty of cla.ssic legend. 
 
 The view from the summit of the mountain is enchanting. 
 Across the stretch of water lie the pleasant camping grounds and 
 cottages of Dingman's Island. To the right is the cataract that over- 
 leaps the edge of the mountain into a romantic chasm, near the base 
 of which is a well-known cave. Leaving this delightful spot, we 
 arrive at the historic Adolphustown, with its beautiful memorial 
 chapel which perpetuates the memory of the United Umpire Loyalists, 
 a body of sturdy men so named from their devotion to the British 
 Crown during the Revolutionar}' War. It was through their efforts 
 that this district was settled after the close of hostilities in 1812. 
 
 Intere.sting and varied scenery meets the eye as we take in the 
 surrounding prospect. To the left is hVedericksburg, and just

 by the washiiiK^s of the waves coming in from the I'pper Gap. A 
 
 dense grove of cedars covers part

 camping ground. 
 
 The steamer now issues out 
 upon the waters of the

 we catch sight of end

 board. Hehind us lie 
 the jutting headlands ol

 is the coast of Amherst 
 / Island, which we are rapidly ap- 
 proaching, as we point our bow 
 for the North Channel, which sepa- 
 rates the island from the mainland 
 on the north. Around us roll the slow swells of the lake, l)arely 
 making themselves felt in the slight undnlatory motion of the ves- 
 sel. Here and there, upon the water, can be seen the graceful 
 forms of white gulls careening on the waves. As we approach they 
 lift successively on their narrow crescent winj,.-,, perform a mazy 
 tracery of motion in mid- air, crossing and recrossing one another, 
 circling and intercircling in mystic figures, until they again alight 
 in the distance upon the rolling water. 
 
 On the right, as we pass into the North Channel, is Kmerald, 
 the upi)er landing of Amherst Island. It is the port of a prosperous 
 agricultural district, and is the home of an old artist, Daniel Fowler, 
 whose achievements in landscapes and still-life representations have 
 W'On him considerable praise. 
 
 On the mainland shore, a little further on. is the town of Bath, 
 formerly known as Krnesttown.

 by reason of its neighi)ouring supply stores, cal)le communi- 
 cation with the maiidand, daily mail and steamboat service. The 
 diives about the island are beautiful. 
 
 The steamer now steers a clear course for Kingston, past the 
 Three Brothers Islands, at the foot of Amherst, and Salmon Lsland, 
 across the broad waters of the Lower Gap, leaving the picture,s(|ue

 Proceeding along the north shore, we see the village of Cata-

 repose, among its silent tombs, the remains of the celebrated vSir 
 John Macdonald, Premier of Canada, and vSir Alexander Campbell. 
 Farther on we behold the village of Portsmouth, distinguished for its 
 ship building industry and 
 trans-shipping facilities.

 These commence near Kingston with Wolfe, the largest of their

 with their shifting kaleidoscope of scenes which throng the vision 
 as the steamer traces its way among the labyrinthian channels. 
 Here and there the course seems completely closed and we think 
 the boat must back out, when nearer approach to the moss-grown 
 shores discloses a hidden outlet by a sudden turn, perhaps into a 
 sheer-sided rock-bound strait, whoi;e shores we can almost touch 
 from the decks, or into a beautiful amphitheatre of lake, bounded 
 by myriad isles. Their scenery has, indeed, more of the element of 
 the beautiful and pretty which wins the spectator by its delicate and 
 varied loveliness, than of the sublime which holds our minds in 
 awe and reverence before the majesty of power or of size. Their 
 unique'^ :ss is not in their grandeur, but ia their daintiness of tints, 
 of shifting scenes, of growing and dissolving views, of land-locked 
 bays and lakelets and sinuous transparent streams that wind and

 About opposite Alexandria Bay, on W'elle.sley Island, is the 
 Presbyterian resort, Westmin.s ^ Park. This covers an area of five 
 hundred acres of irregular uplands, reaching .sometimes to an alti- 
 tude of one hundred and nUy feet. From these heights, easily

 come in view of the spires and roofs of the town of lirockville. This 
 town, named after General P»rock, the hero of yueenstown Heights, 
 1812, is built on an elevation which ascends by suc- 
 cessive ridges from the vSt. Lawrence. It is on the main 
 line of the Grand Trunk Railway, and a branch of the Canadian 
 Pacific Railway runs from it to Ottawa. It has connection by ferry 
 with the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railway. Its popula- 
 tion is about y,e)(i(), and it is a progressive business centre. 
 
 The steamer next comes to I'rescott, named after Cfeneral 
 Prescott, a town of some 4,000 inhabitants, ju.st about opposite the 
 American city of Ogdensburg. Among its note-worthy 
 places of interest are h'ort Wellington, named after the 
 Iron Duke, the Tomb of Barbara Heck, one of the founders of 
 Methodism in America, at the little blue church on the river bank, 
 and the famous Windmill, with its narrow loop-holes peeping from 
 its side. This is the windmill that figured in the insurrection of 
 1837 as the stronghold of the " Patriots" under the unhappy \'an 
 Schult/.e. These desperate men were forced to surrender, after 
 several days' defence, and Van vSchultze and nine others were 
 executed at Fort Henry. The Government have since converted 
 the Windmill into a splendid lighthouse. Prescott has .several large 
 commercial houses, amongst others, the J. P. Wiser Manufacturing 
 Company's extensive distillery. Daniels' Hotel is the favourite

 further drawn into the Charybdis jaws of the mighty current, among 
 its angry darkling eddies, past jutting headlands, close to insiduous 
 rocks, while the roar of the surges, the foaming spray that dashes 
 over the vessel, intensifies the excitement caused by her swift 
 downward and uiululating movement. With her steam almo.st 
 Comi)letel>- shut off, she dashes in among the waves that seem to 
 advance to meet her up the hill, and is carried along, by sheer force 
 of the current, at a speed of twenty miles an hour, guided alone by 
 the extra-manned helm, past the dangerous places amid the ocean 
 roar and tumult of the lashing surf. Navigation of the Long vSault 
 requires exceptional nerve and precision in piloting as well as extra 
 power to control the helm ; hence, in "shooting the rapids," the 
 rudder is provided with a tiller (besides the regular apparatus), and 
 this is manned, while four men are kept at the wheel to ensure safe 
 steering ; and, as a result of such precautions, fatal accidents never 
 occur. 
 
 The first jnissage of the Long Sault by r.teamer was made, about 
 i84(.>, under the pilotage of the celebrated Indian Terorhiahere. The 
 channel followed was that which has until recently been considered 
 •the only safe one, namely the southern, on the American side of the 
 dividing islands. But examinations have been made in these later 
 davs and the northern channel proven quite navigable, so that it has 
 become as much the highway of steamboat traffic as the southern. 
 
 To our right is the picturesque Indian village of St. Regis, 
 with its little cluster of houses and the glittering roof of its church 
 standing conspicu- 
 ously among them. 
 The church, or 
 rather its l)ell, is 
 connected with an 
 historical incident 
 of savage Indian

 its passage from

 to small craft on the eastern journey, and is the only course po.ssil^le 
 for all craft bound westward. We are now near the line which 
 divides Canada from the United States, as well as the line .separating 
 JCastern Ontario from Ouebec. The bed of the vSt. Lawrence expands 
 near Cornwall, forming the ])eautiful Lake St. I'rancis. The shores 
 on either .side present a pleasing prospect diversified with woods and 
 farms. " Hut." says a well-known writer, " the chief glory of a sail 
 down Lake St. Francis, is the distant mountain range, blue against 
 the horizon, filling up the lack which the eye has vaguely felt in 
 the flat unbroken horizon which bounds the greater part of Ontario. 
 It is the Chateauguay range— a spur of the Adirondacks — .some- 
 times drawing nearer, .sometimes receding into cloud-like indistinct 
 ness. At the lower end of the lake we draw up l)y the long wooden 
 pier of Coteau du Lac, whose straggling row of littk- 
 French houses, looking still smaller in contra.st with the 
 great stone church and gleaming spire, gives evidence that we are 
 now in French Canada. A charming .scene does this old Coteau 
 make as .seen at sun.set on the return trip, when Lake St. F'rancis. 
 still as a mirror, reflects the rich crimsons and jjurples of the 
 descending sun ; while the old brown timbers of the pier, and the 
 equally old and brown hVench Canadian hou.sus, with the rather 
 Dutch looking boats moored by the pier, compose a picture to which 
 
 only a Turner could do justice."

 vessel lurch and toss as though at sea. This group of four rapids 
 following one another in close succession, have a descent of eighty 
 two and one half feet, and extend in all, about eleven miles. 
 
 Below the Cascades, the river expands into Lake vSt. Louis 
 Almost at its head, where the Ca.scades' seething waters soften iiiti 
 calm, the Ottawa River discharges one of its branches into th'. 
 broad St. Lawrence, and the ilark waters of the northern streaii 
 glide into the calm deep bottom of the great river, to find a pun- 
 home and greater glory in the res])lendent beauty of the lake. ( i:

 and St. Lawrence, the shore, on our left as we go down, is the 
 Island t>f Montreal. Along its margin can be seen the cottages of 
 campers from .Montreal who I'ome here in large numl)ers to spend 
 the summer months. It is a most j)le;isant place of resort both on 
 account ol its convenient proximity to the city and on account of its 
 engaging scenery and wholesome surroundings. There are several 
 yacht and boating clul) houses here and there, such as the Royal 
 St. Lawrence N'aclit CKib, a little above the head of Dorval Island, 
 also the h'orest and vStream Club. 
 
 After issuing from the lake, we come to the town of Lachine, 
 nine miles t'rom Montreal. This place is associated with the name 
 of La vSalle, wlio. about the year i^iyt), obtained a grant 
 of land from the vSeminary of Montreal, and here formed a 
 settlement, giving to it the name of Lachine. It was La vSalle who, 
 during his wanderings in the land of the Illinois, first pitched upon 
 Chicago as a trading post. 
 
 .\t this village, the famous Lach'ue Canal commences, having 
 been built to overcome the descent of the river in the Lachine 
 Rapids. Ivven as we pass along, we can .see the enclosed waters of 
 the canal bearing upon their bosom the huge form of some up-goi\ig 
 steamer. It is to this little village of Lachine that people come from 
 Montreal by train to shoot the rapids. A most exciting method is 
 to shoot the rapids in a skiff, under the skilful guidance of the 
 Indians as is .shown in cut on page 56. It is apparently, at first 
 sight, impossible for so small a boat to live in .so wild a current of

 and dangerous phices, as well as with the frantic humours of tia 
 fierce current, that the feat is .sometimes risked by those seeking 
 excitement. 
 
 Across from Machine is the Indian village, Caughnawaga. on 
 the south banl. of the river. Its name, meaning "praying Indian 
 is very appropriately attached to the inhabitants who are devoted 
 adherents of the Roman Catholic faith, and annually, in June, jon.

 cascade, of the earthquake and foam-fire of the cataract," combined 
 with the howling multitude of waters and the vast sweep and 
 surging of the ocean wave. In we plunge among the breakers, and 
 the headlong current bears us towards the shelving and insiduous 
 rocks, sometimes hidilen, sometimes di.sclosed to view with the dark 
 suggestion of others couched unseen beneath the water. Deftly we 
 pass tliem by within a few yards of their treacherous edges, through 
 foam, through mountain billows, with our bows sometimes ap- 
 parently submerged, through burring eddy and swirling whirlpool, 
 through clouds of spray ascending from the churning aby.ss crowned 
 with the iridescence of a hundred rainbows, and amid the thunderous 
 voices of the surging deeps. A moment more, we have completed 
 the descent and ride in tranquility the placid bosom of the river 
 beneath, with a sense of relief l)orn of the contemplated danger past. 
 Had we but deviated to right or left by so much as a f'-'w yards, or 
 cast our length athwart the stream, we had been hurled, by the 
 angry current, upon the rocks to utter wreck, or instantly capsized, 
 submerged and rolled amid a raging wilderness of waves. But the 
 cool hand and clear eye of the 
 pilot is equal to the perilous 
 work, and it is a notable fact 
 that no accident of any conse- 
 quence has ever happened, nor 
 has a single life been lost in 
 the covirse of many years of 
 steamboat navigation on these 
 wonderful rapids.

 and one of the j^reatesl engineering achievements of the age. t 
 connects Montreal with the sonth shore of the vSt. Lawrence by tic 
 ('.rand Trnnk Railway, and thns, with the Canadian Pacific Rail-

 some two miles. The tube, through which the trains pass, is some 
 twenty-two feet high l)y sixteen feet wide. The structure cost 
 $6,300,000. It is the product of the same minds that s]ianned the 
 Menai vStraits Robert Stephenson and A. M. Ro.ss, and it stands a 
 lasting monument to their genius, the embodiment in iron and 
 stone of the glorious ideas which gave it birth. It is a striking; 
 contrast to the more modern Canadian Pacific Railway Bridge with 
 its lighter, more aerial structure. The latter gives the impression 
 of neatness, even of iVailty, while the former has stam])ed upon its 
 face the mark of massiveness and enduring power, like the great 
 primeval works of nature nuule to stand forever. It is a grand sight 
 to stand upon this bridge, looking forth troin one of the openings in 
 the central piers, and watch the shipping passing underneath upon 
 the bosom of the curling waters, to see the luirr\ing streams gather 
 in mounds belbre each pier, then glide awa\- on either side in angrv 
 eddy and in wave ; to look along the row of massive piers con- 
 verging in the di.stance, with the great iron tube upon their should- 
 ers, reaching into Montreal.

 vSweeping beneath the great bridge, we come in full view of the 
 city of Montreal, with its teeming harbour, with its beautiful inil)lic 
 buildings of massive stone ; its churches, its cathedrals with gleam- 
 ing pinn.icles, and domes and cupolas ; its famous parks ; its learning, 
 its colleges : and. most of all, with its royal mountain, lifting its 
 im])erial head above the rush and dm of commerce like an altar 
 open 'o great and small, to rich and poor, to come to, offering up 
 their sacrifice of adoration for so much beauty and grandeur freely 
 given them, both from the hand of man and from the hand of nature. 
 As we move through the crowded harbour, we pass here and there 
 the huge forms of ocean vessels at their moorings. Away ahead W'e 
 catch a glimpse of the towers of Notre-Dame and the massive dome 
 of vSt. Peter's rising above the other structures, giving us a distant 
 foretaste, in their sun.set glory, of the myriad beauties which lie 
 •wra])t in the hidden bosom of the splendid city. We come to port 
 near vSt. Helen's Island, once a mililaiy stronghold, but now trans- 
 formed into a magnificent park ; the steamer first stopping at Com- 
 tni^sioners' Wharf to transfer its passengers to the Quebec steamer, 
 and then continuing to canal basin. 
 
 As tourists generally preier to visit Montreal on their way 
 home, we will reserve for the return trip a description of the interest- 
 ing points of the city, and sail on down the St. Lawrence towards

 Opposite Three Rivers is Doucct's Landing, the ternnnu'-' of the

 thus keeping this .section easy of access from the south, as the rail- 
 way on the north sliore does on the other side. Here we may 
 be said to lie at the head of tide water, the home of the Tommy cod 
 fishery. Continuing our journey, we pass Batiscan, called after a 
 famous Indian chief known to the first .settlers ; then Ste. Anne 
 and the Jacfiues-Cartier River, after which the land on the river 
 banks begins to ri.se, presenting a more bold and pictures([ue appear-

 pretty villages, are sof)n passed, and the mouth of the Chaudiere is 
 the next object of interest. Here, some twelve or more miles from 
 Quebec, in the .seclusion of the woods, are the falls of the Chaudiere,

 the Old World first touched the barl)aric wilderness of 
 the New. Here is the ciadle of Canada. Uuebec seems to havt 
 been specially formed by Nature for the important part as.signed to

 In reviewing the history of Que-

 Jaccpies Cartier. In 1835, Jac-

 under a commission from l<'rancis I., in hope of discovering a new- 
 highway to th*^ Indies, and also of adding to the possessions of his 
 native land, v'^ailing up the magnificenf river, he gave to it the

 their :hief Jfonnacona, paddled out in their birch bark canoes to 
 meet the strangers, having been attracted l)y the novelty of their 
 wondrous vessels. 
 
 The meeting of Jacques Cartier and the chief appears to have 
 been friendly, 'or he v.illingly conducted the explorers to the summit 
 of the rock, and to the little village which nestled beneath, Wh.it 
 a wondrous picture was spread out before him from this nobk- 
 height. Clothed in the i^rimeval grandeur of Nature, enriched 
 with the glory of autumnal tints, no pro.spect could be more 
 '.nchanting, no wealth more unbounded, than that which was 
 enfolded in the bosom of these mighty .solitudes. Jacques Cartier 
 had yet to learn that there was another .side to this rosy pictuir, 
 for, wiih the fading of the leaves, the firNt signs of v/inter approachol.

 pared for tiiem — Cartier was 
 not. Untold were the sufferings 
 of tliese explorers during the 
 I) five months that they were 
 bound in the grip of ice and 
 snow. With the return of 
 sjjring, Jacques Cartier sailed 
 again for France, but nothing 
 came of his voyage. The time 
 had not yet come, and nearly a 
 century was to elapse V)efore the 
 founder of New I^'rance a])peared. In 1608, Samuel de Champlain 
 planted the white fiag of I'rance upon the heights of Oue1)ec.

 France and Kngland fought for the empire of this land, in il;i 
 memorable battle of the Tlains of Abrahatn. No pen is needed ti

 delightful views of the St. Lawrence as far as the eye can reach, — 
 down past the Isle of Orle.uis, across to Levis and beyond up stream 
 to Sillery, and, to tht- lett, the country along the beautiful valley of 
 the St Charles River. It has been planned with that strong sen.se 
 of the fitness of things. In exterior it blends with its surroundings ; 
 it is jxirt of tlur wondrous pictures(|ueness, while the interior is a 
 monuinenl to the skill of the architect, who has retained the maxi- 
 mum of comfort and l)eaut3 without sacrificing the outlook, which 
 has been otUained l)y constructing the liotel in the shape of a 
 hor.se hoe. 
 
 The fciuulatioiis of the original castle, dating 1620, can l)e 
 seen still under Dufferin Terrace. 
 
 While we are mentioning hotels, we cannot omit the Hotel 
 Victoria, a mote motlest and iKiinelike hotel, situated on vSt. John 
 street, outside of the cii\ walls, and commanding a view of the 
 valle>' of the St.. Charles River. 
 
 Dufferin Terrace was lirst laid out by the Ivarl of Durham, 
 Governor- Crciieral of Canada in iS-;S. During the administration 
 of the Marcjuis of Dufferin and A\a, however, it was improved and 
 enlarged into the present promenade, and 
 has since been known as Dufferin Terrace.

 efforts of T.ord IH '\'rin, a .scheme of re;loration was carried -i; 
 which preserves the ancient character of the city, and facilitates tr. 
 requirements of modern progres.s. 
 
 A stroll around the ramparts, and an inspection of the pict;; 
 re-sipie and sub.stantial archways, gives the visitor a good idea of ih 
 military strength of the city. In the midst of these staniliii. 
 evidences of defiance or defence, we may trace the dominant int1i:

 Anotlier tnie edifice that chiims onr attention is the Dasilica, 
 near the ohl Market Scjuare It is hnill on the site of the ancient 
 Church of Xotre-l)anie-de la-Reconvrance, erected m i'".,;,, hy 
 Samuel de Chani])hiin, to commemorate the restoration of the colony 
 by Britain. Within this ancient church were interred tlie remains 
 of I, aval -perhaps the mo.st historic t'lgnre in the annals of New 
 h'rance i-'rontenac. and many other of her worthies. The liasilica 
 contains, amongst other valuable p.iintings, the Clu'ist of the Cathe- 
 dral, l>y \'an Dyke, and the hlcstacy of St. Paul, by Carlo Maratti. 
 vSome of the pictures were brought to Canada tVoin I'rance during 
 the Revolution. The scpiare o]>posite, wherv.- the new Citv Ilall has 
 been erected, is the site of the old Jesuit College, the last trace of 
 which was removed a tew years ago. There is interest even in the 
 site of this old building, t'or it was the oldest college in America, 
 dating from the year iS;i5- Within its wall:, the niart\rs Lalemaut, 
 Hrebeut, and \'i}>ond, taught, ,uid I'ere .MariiUelie drew his plans 
 that led to the estal)lishment o\ Christiaiiit\- on the banks of the 
 Mississippi. Adjoining the Basilica is the Cavdinal Archbishop's 
 Palace, the residence of liis luninciice Cardinal Tascher^an. 
 
 The next building that claims onr attention i- tlie rrsuliue 
 Coiuent, on (lardcn street. The '■( iinent is biMutilulb situated in 
 a garden ol .seven acres extent, and owes it.-> origin to the ifligimis 
 zeal of Madame de la Peltrie aiui .\Kre Marie (ie 1' Incirnation, two 
 remarkable women, who.se devotion has IoiiiumI ilicines !or poets atul

 The Hotel- Dieu, or Hospital of the Trecious lilood, was founded 
 in 1639, by a niece of Cardinal Richelieu. During the seventeet:th 
 century it played i.u i:Mi)ortant jiart in the religious life ot the French 
 colony. Attached to the convent is the chnpnl "I'.i'Mi contains the 
 l)ones of I^'alher Laletnant and the skull of I-'alher Jean de Hreheuf. 
 An interesting episode in the history of Catuida, during the last 
 century, attaches to a relic in the pos.session of the I.adies of the 
 H6tel-I)ieu. In 1742, a soldier of the Montreal (garrison profe.> '.ed 
 to be a sorcerer, and, in turtherance of his pretensions, had profaned 
 sacred objects. He had taken a crucifix and covering it with an 
 intlaniahle substance, expo.sed it to the llaines, at the same time 
 
 reciting certain 
 p a s s a g e s o f 
 Scripture. Pub 
 lie indignation 
 was so great 
 that he was ar- 
 rested and .sent- 
 enced to make 
 a {iuhlic repar- 
 ation in front 
 ot the parish 
 church ol" Mont- 
 real. The Bishop 
 of (Quebec ob- 
 tained the cru- 
 cifix and pres- 
 ented it to the

 The (juaint old Church of Xotre-Dame-des-Victoires, erected 
 in 1 688, must also be visited, as it is associated with several warlike 
 events : the mt.noral)le re- 
 ])ulseof SirWilliam IMiipps' 
 attack on Quebec, on the 
 1 6th October, 1690, and 
 the providential escape of 
 the town from surrender 
 to vSir Hovenden Walker's 
 formidable fleet, wrecked 
 <m the 2211(1 August, 1711. 
 During the siege of Ouebec. 
 in 1759, a portion of the 
 church was destroyed by 
 the batteries from Levis. 
 
 Kver\' turn that we 
 take in Quebec brings us 
 face to face with some 
 memorial of the pa.st, and 
 most of its streets perpetu- 
 ate the names of its worth- 
 ies. Among the curious 
 streets that every visitor i.s 
 
 sure to see may be mentioned .Sous-le-Cap and the site of the once 
 famous Breakneck Stairs. Ivven that modern looking building, the 
 Post Office, has its history, for it is buiU on the site of an old legen- 
 dary-haunted house, known as /.>■ Chicn (f (h-. There, in the wall, 
 we can see the curious old stone, with its inscription, and its golden 
 dog gnawing its bone as of old, and in Mr. Kirhy's novel, " The 
 Oroldeii Dog," we can learn still further of its histor>-.

 Before saying; adieu to these scenes of liennsm. to the cnnuhlitij; 
 relics of ancient Ouehec. the tourist should join tlie pilgrim proces- 
 sion to that spot lial lowed by tlie mystery of numerous miraculous 
 cures, visited by hundreds ol thousands of pil.i,Miins annually the 
 Canadian Mecca -Ste. Anne-de-Heaupie. I,et us leave yuehec. by 
 the Ouebec, Montmorency and Charlevoix Railway, and. as we fly 
 al<)nj4, take a };lance at the beauties of the surrounding country. 
 
 The sun llin>;s a sheet of j^lory over the broad St. Lawrence, the 
 j>;reen Island of Orleans, the whit;- curtain of Montmorency. OIT to 
 the north, the rays of morninj; dance upon the steeples of Charle- 
 bourg and I.orelte, pierce the white clouds upon llie sunnnils of the 
 Laurentians. and fuially disappear m the gloom of the pine forest 
 that marks the limit of cultivation and the beginning of primeval 
 wildness. W'c glide pasi the long ser])entine form of Heauport, as it 
 lays ba.sking upon shore ; the little villages on Orleans, the Isle of 
 Bacchus, as Champlain called it, disjilay their white cottages and 
 tapering spires, they whirl awa\' into distance and give place on the 
 scene to fertile vales and cultivated farms. On our left, the moun- 
 tains grow larger and bolder, ;Mid the huge proi)ortions of Cape 
 Tourmente break the unifOiinity of i>lue hills and green roads. The 
 last steeple on the island has just \ auished, and the St. Lawrence 
 l)roadens out before us. From out a wilderness ot trees, high over 
 a long stretch of regular fields, behind several mounds, one peak 
 appears to cleave the sky. .\bove it, birds of ]iU'\- hover in security, 
 at its foot the hamlet of Beanpre repo.ses -it i.^ the mountain of vSte. 
 .\inie. Our train suddenly draws u]) at the little depot on the skirts 
 of the \ illage. We descnd, and immeiliately find ourselves in the 
 midst of another Ian 1, in t'le centre of an age long past. The rude 
 habitant carts, the bare-footed urchins, and wooden-shod women, the 
 simple primitive Norman co.stumes, the pleasant manners of the 
 natives, the (juaint .sign-boards on the hotels, tlu- hurrviiig pilgrims 
 and silent devotees, the grotto with it.i statue and fountain, the 
 convent of the Hospital Xnns on the .slope ol' The hill, tlie inspiring 
 edifice of the new temple nf worship, the long wharf stretching out, 
 as it were to catch and hold eacii pa.ssing steamer, the banners, 
 crosses, i)roce.ssions. and above all, the religious .seriousne.ss of 
 every person, all tell emphatically that we are at last in presence of 
 the world-famed .shrine of Sle. Anne-dc Beanpre. 
 
 To tell the .story of Sle. Anne, we must draw upon the Book of

 vSt. Lawrence, where, in 1.S17-H. thousands of iiniKrants perislied 
 during a friKhtfnl rage of fever, l-'rom lierc the livtr begins to 
 expand, and we are soon in the luoad oinn waters that seem to have 
 
 the prop. >r. ions of a .sea. Soon we come m view of Haie St. Paul 
 and Isle-aux-Condres. In 1(163, liaie St. Tan! was the scene of a 
 fierce elemental var. h'or six months ami a half shocks were felt 
 throughout Canada. Along the St I.awrcnce meteors filled the air 
 which was dark with smoke and cinders, the ^lass withered and 
 crops would not grow. New lakes were formed and tlie apjiearance 
 of the shore was altered, ami a hill de.scended into the waters, and 
 emerged i'^ form an island. Isle unx-Coudres lias its legend gather- 
 ing round the memory of Pcre La Iho.sse. tlie faitht'iil priest of the 
 Hudson's Hay ]K)st at Tadousac. The legemi runs that the jiriest, 
 one evening, while conversing witli liis little llock, told them that at 
 midnight he would be a corjise. ami at that hour the bell of the 
 chapel wouhi toll for the I'assing .soul. He told them not to touch 
 his body, but to hasten, whatever the weather, on the following day 
 to I.sle-aux-Coudies t ) fetch Me.ssieur Coinpain, who would be 
 waiting for them to wrap his body in its shroud. At the first stroke

 of jiiidni^Hn, the little band was slartltd by the tollitiK^ of the bell, 
 and on rushin^r to the church they found the priest dead before the 
 altar. With dawn came a violent storm, but faithful to their 
 promise, they set out for Isle auxCoudrts, where, as foretoKl. 
 h^atlur Compain was waitinj;, breviary in hand, having been warned 
 in a vi.sion, and by the lolling of the bell of his own chapel. I'or 
 years after, the IndiaTis, going up ami down the vSagu-.-nay, never 
 passed Tadousac without i)ra>ing in tlic church where reposed the 
 body of him who had been to th; in the image of their Heavenly 
 h'ather. Prostrating tiiemselves on his tomb, and placing then- 
 mouths at a little orifice tnade in the floor of the choir, tliey talked 
 to liim, as in lite, in perfect confidence. The ingenuousness and 
 simplicity of the faith of these swarlh.y Montagnais, is a touching 
 monument to Tcre La liros.se. 'I'he relics of I'ere La Hros.se, whose 
 memory is revered to this day, were removed many years ago to the 
 church at Chicoutimi.

 their heij>ht, are visible at a great distance, the " mirage'' seenjing 
 constantly to dwell about them, <lue to refraction of the sun's rays,

 Sleatning across the river, it i.s evening when we reach that 
 beautiful sunnner resort. Rivii rt du l.oup, five miles from the famed

 As the fur l)t.arin^r animals, however, disaiipeared, so did the 
 commercial and political <;l«>ry of Tadimsac, and now, a (piiet 
 hamlet, still glorious in its snrr()nndin>;s, is what is left of the 
 former active life of this historic spot. 
 
 There is a very comfortahle hotel here, owtied and kept hy the 
 Richelieu and Ontario Xavi^ation Company, which is well patron- 
 ized. The atmosphere, ai this locality, is especially bracing; ; the 
 salt air from the ^nlf of .Si. Lawrence and the hrce/es from the

 which pen has never yet described. Xo one can realize this picture 
 all at once ; everything is deceptive, and it takes time to grasp the 
 inaj;nitude of the surroundings. Hut by degrees the immensity and 
 appalling graudiur .assert tluniselves. and the beholder feels and

 knows that he is in ch)SL' i-onnnuiiiou with thf awful majesty of 
 Nature. Here, al.ove ail other places the Kri'«i<l«-'!^^ works of man 
 sink into insiKuilicnice, and the very silence seeius to do hoinav;c as 
 to a god. Calm and unbroken is the solitude of Nature in this her 
 temple. Miith and lau.^Oiter ma> ripple over the water.s. hut she 
 heeds them not. Storms and tempests may rage around, and the 
 sun's fierre rays descend upon her hrow seeking to disturb her 
 .serenity , l>ut in vain, \ictorious in .some elemental conllicl she 
 cea.ses from her labours. Peace, inviolate is the guerdon of her 
 warfare, and the loneliness of her grandeur the highest monument 
 of her triumph. 
 
 Thus are we made to feel as we enter the .seclusion of these 
 waters. As our ves.sel moves onward, at every turn .some new and 
 unexpected beauty meets the eye, distinct, bearing the stamp of indi- 
 \ iduality, and yet, in some mysterious manner, inseparable from the 
 whole. There are, however, no rivals .unong tho.se gorgeous scenes. 
 Projecting rock and sheltered cove, fircrowned cliff and open bay, 
 each to the other lends a charm, and each reiterates the same grand 
 theme. Mven the silent bosom of the waters contributes its meed ol 
 jirai.se. lor in their infathomable de])tlis are mirrored the heightN 
 which .soar into the infinite. 
 
 Who can picture this scene b\ moonlight ■' X'ision is replaced 
 by feeling. \'onder in the di.slance a sil\ir\- beam of light .seems to 
 have lost its way among the.se frowning sentinels ami to tremble in 
 their keeping. On we glide through its fairy like shadows into 
 darkriess again, and the rocks api)ear to bar our progress. Hut no ; 
 still we nun'e, and wonder only siKveeds wonder. 
 
 Hut let us change the .scene to (iaylight, in the golden glory of 
 a summer's day. As the ve.ssel moves onward, the multiform rocks, 
 the bays and projections, the i)erpeniii(,ular walls, slanting sides and 
 overhanging cliffs, all <iiange with :he rapidity of a kaleidoscopic 
 view. I'lUt there is no monolonv, only unceasing U)veliness. h'rom

 But our journey is r^ot yet ended. On we pass, surrounded b}' 
 
 Nature in her wildest moods, until we reach once more the scenes of 
 
 civilization. The 
 sight of the beau- 
 tiful open water 
 known as Ha! Ha! 
 P)ay comes as a 
 relief after the ma- 
 jesty we have left 
 l>ehind us. The bay 
 was named, so the 
 story runs, from the 
 surprised laugh of 
 the earliest French 
 iHK KisK explorers, who, sail- 
 
 ing as they thought 
 
 straight up the river, found themselves in this huge cul-de-sac. A 
 
 scattered, picturesque village decks the shore, and the tourist will 
 
 meet with an interesting type of Canadian character in the villagers. 
 
 A short drive through a romantic country, enjoying the breeze of 
 
 the pine-clad hills, or a sail ni the steamer round the bend of the 
 
 river will 1)ring us to Chicoulimi. 
 
 Beautifully situated on a hill, Chicoutimi seems to form a little 
 
 world of its own. Its name appears to be singularly appropriate, 
 
 meaning in Cree, "Up to here it is deep." 
 
 Chicoutimi was one of the earliest Jesuit missions, and a great 
 
 fur-trading centre, 
 
 becoming after- 
 wards one of the 
 
 principal posts of 
 
 the Hudson's Bay 
 
 Co., and it could 
 
 boast of a church 
 
 as early as 1670. 
 
 But other thoughts 
 
 claim our attention,

 to reach the paradise of wild-wood sport in the vicinity of Lake 
 vSt. John, may take their passage at Chicoulimi via the (Quebec 
 and Lake St. John Railway, as the Richelieu steamers connect 
 
 with the trains on 
 this line. 
 
 The l)eautiful 
 and fertile region 
 of the Lake con- 
 tinues to attract 
 sportsmen to its 
 shores. Here are 
 the hojues and 
 haunts of the land- 
 locked salmon, 
 rejoicing in the 
 riir, sTKr(;(.LK. euphouious Indian 
 
 name of Ouan-an- 
 ische, and may well be described as a mailed warrior of surpassing 
 courage and determination when he takes the hook. Dear to the 
 true hunter, he is n^'t only a good fighter in the water, but a 
 delicatel}' delicious guest at the table. 
 
 Good fi.shing is to be had anywhere on the rivers and lakes 
 of the gloriously diver.sified region around Lake St. John. And 
 there large game— deer, bear, nioo.se and the wapiti — are to be found 
 in sea.son with capable and companionable guides to lead the hunter 
 to their native fastnesses. Nowhere in the world will the sportsman 
 and the lover of the grand and beautiful in nature find better 
 rewards for his 
 toil. Many Am- 
 erican, as well as 
 Canadian fishing 
 clubs have leases, 
 or own lakes 
 among these hills. 
 But there is room 
 for thousands 
 more; the country

 simply inexhaustible. There are .<;ood hotels and every acconi- 
 tnodation to be had in the villages around Lake vSt. John. (Uiides 
 and canoes are available there for sportsmen, and an elej^ant steel 
 steamer, the ' Mi.stassini," havin<^ a capacity for 400 pa.ssengers, 
 runs daily between Hoberval and the fishing grounds on the other 
 side of Lake St. John. 
 
 It is time, however, to return to our steamer. Leaving Cliicou- 
 timi behind, we pa.ss again through the magnificent scenery which 
 is still further impressed on our memory. Rapidly we glide by the 
 long procession of headland, rock and hill, the scattered hamlets, 
 the silver threads of cascades here and there trickling down dark 
 precipices, until towards evening we approach the rocky nooks 
 of Tadousac. We can just distinguish in the starlight the massive 
 wooden pier and the lofty pines above us. In a short time we 
 are fairly out of the vSaguenay and enter the wide expanse of the 
 St. Lawrence, which we crossed to Rivicre-du-Loup. 
 
 Riviere-du-Loup is the .stopping place for p i.s.sengers for Cacouna, 
 one of the most fashionable sunnner resorts on the St. Lawrence. Here 
 the St. Lawrence Hall is beautifully situated and offers many at- 
 tractions to visitors, the salt water bathing is good and the hotel is 
 surrounded by magnificent shade trees and groves, lawns, play grounds 
 and promenades. It has accommodation for five hundred guesls. 
 
 The steamers recro,ss again to Murray Piay and in the morning 
 we find ourselves again in Que))ec, with a whole day before us, 
 which will afford ample time to visit the pictures((ue suburbs of 
 (Quebec. A point of particular interest within pleasant driving 
 distance is the site of the old hunting lodge of the Intendant Bigot, 
 beyond the village of Charle.sbonrg. All that now remain of the 
 building known as Chateau Bigot are its weather-beaten walls, in 
 an open glade beside a stream, with a few bushes which indicate 
 the presence of a garden. Here the wicked intendant was wont to 
 hold his carousals with his boon companions of the hunt, after the 
 fashion pictured in Lc Chien il' Or. The building has its legend of 
 a buried hoard of silver, and of a beautiful Huron girl, who loved 
 Bigot, and died a violent death. 
 
 Another very enjoyable trip, through open and fertile country, 
 may be made 10 the Indian village of Lorette, inhabited by a rem- 
 nant of the Huron tribe, and v/here the last traces of this primitive 
 race are to be found. In the hou.se of one of the chiefs is preserved 
 a portrait bestowed by royal hands on a fi)nner chief.

 A charmiii' drive, nine miles below Quebec, leads to the Falls 
 of Montmorency. 
 
 The old, long, ([uainl village of Heauport, where may still be 
 seen the remnants of Montcalm's forts— and in the centre of which 
 is the famous asylum— stretches nearly the whole distance. Like a 
 large pre-historic mon.ster, it lies along the shore of the river, its 
 
 head resting upon 
 the bridge over the 
 vSt. Charles and its 
 tail lashing into 
 foam the wonderful 
 Falls of Montmo- 
 rency. It would be 
 impossible to give 
 an accurate descrip- 
 tion of the beauty, 
 the majesty, the 
 thundering might 
 of those falls, either 
 in winter or in 
 summer. Down a 
 precipice of over 
 two hundred feet, 
 the Montmorency 
 River plunges into 
 the vSt. Lawrence, 
 and, as if recoiling 
 after its terrible 
 fall, it bends back 
 in spray, that when frozen, leaves a cone fifty feet high, in winter, 
 between the torrent behind and the sheet of ice in front. We must 
 not forget to visit the Island of Orleans, the summer residence of 
 .so many Quebeckers. It is a charming sail down stream during 
 which we get a panoramic view of Quebec, Beauport and the Mont- 
 morency Falls, on one side, and Levis on the other. 
 
 An enjoyable day may be spent visiting either of the places 
 mentioned, while those who prefer to remain in the city will find 
 many new and interesting features. 
 
 In the evening the steamer leaves for Montreal, and as the last 
 trace of Quebec fades from view, we begin to prepare ourselves for

 the interestini,^ scenes we are to visit on tlie morrow. A glance over 
 the following pages will ennhle the tourist to become familiar with 
 the city of the Royal Moiint. 
 
 Montreal is happily typical of Canada, for, besides being the 
 commercial metropolis of the Dominion, from its position at 
 the head of ocean navigation, it still retains in its 
 streets and in its inhabitants, many traces of French 
 and iMiglish occupation. Mere the Old World mingles with 
 the New, and the rapid strides of progress seem only to make 
 the contrast more apparent. It is not only to the Canadian tourist 
 that Montreal appeals with special interest ; visitors from the sister 
 country will find anutl its memorials much which speaks to them

 The little sketch we propose to j^ive, and the illustrations 
 accompanyiui; it, will serve lo assist in a lour of inspection, and be 
 worthy of i)reservati()n as a souvenir of a visit to the metropolis 
 of Canada. The first place we will visit is the Custom House, a 
 short distance to the west o( the Richelieu and Ontario Xavijj:ation 
 Company's wharves. Our mission is not to decide any ([uestion ol 
 tariff, but to view the cradle of Montreal. .Mlixed to this buildinj; 
 are two tablets which read as follows : " This site was selected and 
 named, in 1611, 'La Place Royale,' by Samuel de Champlain, the 
 founder of Canada." and " Near this spot, on the iSth day of 
 May, 1 64 J, landed the founders of Montreal, commanded by Paul 
 
 de Chomedey, 
 sieur de Maison- 
 neuve : their first

 The city, it is 
 seen, was found- 
 ed in 1642, by 
 Paul de Chome- 
 de}', a knight of 
 the media-val 
 school, who was 
 accompanied by 
 a Jesuit, Father 
 X'imont. While 
 we are in the 
 vicinity, it may be interesting to learn something of the ceremony 
 attending the foundation. As eve approached, Maisonneuve and 
 his followers assembled at the place indicated by yonder obelisk, 
 where the first mass was sung. History has preserved for us part of 
 that early scene in these words: "Tents were pitched, camp-fires 
 were lighted, evening fell and mass was held. iMreflies caught and 
 imprisoned in a phial upon the altar served as lights, and the little 
 band was solemnly addressed l)y Vimont in words which included 
 these : ' Von are a grain of mustard seed that shall rise and grow 
 till its br.inches over;5liadow the e nth. Vou are few, but your work

 is the work of God. His smile is ui)on you, and your 
 children shall fill the land.' " Such, then, were the begin- 
 nings of the city, and the foundation of the educational and 
 connnercial .system which in the space of two hundred and 
 fifty years has changed the aspect of this 
 vast country. 
 i. There is. however, an earlier period, which 
 
 takes us hack into the age of discovery, 
 gathering around the name of Jacques Cartier, 
 without which no description of Montreal 
 would be complete. In 1535, Jacques Cartier, 
 shortly after his discovery of Quebec, .sailed 
 up the St, Lawrence in search of the kingdom 
 of Hochelaga, of which he had received glow- 
 ing accounts from the Indians of vStadacona. 
 On the 2ad of October, the exploring party, 
 consisting of about fifty sailors and their 
 officers, in a small galleon and two long 
 boats, approached the .shores of the myster- 
 ious kingdom. An Indian path led through 
 the forest to the fortified town or kingdom of Hochelaga, situated 
 at the base of the mountain. All trace of this village, however, had 
 disappeared at the time of Champlain's vi.sit, and its inhabitants 
 had either been massacred or carried away into captivity during the 
 war after Jacques Cartier' s visit. 
 
 The history of the war between the Iroquois and Hurons has 
 been preserved by a descendant of the latter tribe, from whom we 
 learn that the Hurons and Seuecas lived in peace and friendship for 
 many a generation at the town of Hochelaga. They intermarried 
 and had no cause for quarrel, till, for .some reason, a Seneca chief 
 refused his .son permission to marry a Seneca maiden. 
 Enraged at the action of the stern parent, the lady 
 refused all offers of marriage, declaring that she would 
 only wed the warrior who .should slay the chief who 
 had interfered with her happiness. A 
 young Wyandote, smitten by her charms, 
 attacked and slew the old chief, and re- 
 ceived the coveted reward. The vSenecas, 
 however, adopted the cause of their chief, . 
 and a terril)le fratricidal war spread '

 While in this vicinity, Honsecours Church and Bonsecours 
 Market claim our attention. The Church of Notre-I)ame-de-Bonse- 
 cours; from which the adjoining market derives its name, is, to the 
 anti(iuarian, of the deepest interest. Its foundation dates from 1657, 
 only fifteen years after the foundation of the city, when de Maison- 
 neuve donated a pirce of land oti wliicii to build a chapel. The 
 
 VUTdKIA SnU.VRK, .MONTKKAI.. 
 
 first building measiu'ed tliir'ty by forty feet, but it was soon found to 
 be too small, and in 1675 a larger churclrwas commenced which 
 stood until its destruction by fire in 1754. The present church was 
 commenced soon after, but not completed until 1771. There are 
 many old paintings in the church to which great value is attached, 
 but the principal oi)ject is the time-honoured statue of the Blessed 
 Virgin. This was acquired by Sister Mary Bourgeoys, from a noble 
 of Britany, where it was reputed for miracles. She, in consequence, 
 brought it over, built the chapel for it, and .set it up where it now 
 stands, and where it has remained the patron of the French sailors 
 for nearly two centuries and a half Bonsecours Market is specially 
 
I02 
 
 From Niagara to the Sfa, 
 
 worthy of a visit on one of its tnarkot days. Here an illustration 
 of tia- provincial lifi- of the habitant may he obtained. To the 
 observer of human nature, the habitant and his methods of doin^^ 
 business will furnish an interestinji; study. 
 
 In the midst of the St. Lawrence, nearly opposite 
 the market, is a favorite re.sort in summer, kuovN'u as 
 St. Helen's Island, named by Champlain after his 
 wife. The island is laid out as a park and. bcin^ 
 •»-\ thickly wooded, has many shady walks. Within 
 an enclosure containing a fort is a space reserved 
 for military purposes. The island is reached by 
 the boats of the Richelieu and Ontario Navi- 
 gation Company. 
 
 'i'o enable the tourist to take in at a glance 
 the uiagnificence of the city's situation, we pro- 
 ' . po.se to ilrivc to the Mountain I'ark. A.scending 
 the mountain by a .series of winding roads, a 
 glimp.se is obtained here and there through the 
 foliage of the panorama spread out below ; but it is not till the 
 summit is reached tliat an idea of the vastuess of the scene is 
 realized. It was from this point that Jaccpies Cartier viewed the 
 fertile country he had come to claim for I'Vance, when, uplifting the 
 cro.ss, he gave to it the name of Mount Royal. 
 
 "Therefrom one sees very far," he wrote, and his words are 
 re-echoed to-day. On one side stretches out the city with its spires 
 and ilomes, glittering in the sun, the palatial homes of the wealthy, 
 the meaner dwellings of the jioor ; broad avenues and parks and 
 tokens of indtistry, and beyond Nature's watery highway lined with 
 docks and shipping, the prosper(jus towns and villages which rise 
 from its .southern shore. And turning, through the x"a 
 shadow of the trees, may ])e seen th«.' beautiful and \t^ 
 silent city of the dead. r,^^ 0^'^/\ 
 
 It may be observed that with the ris<-' ^^^^^ (^v\ //; 
 of commerce the citv has crept nearer and ^ 
 
 nearer to the foot of the mountain. For fifty ytars ^1. 
 after its foundation, the limits of the town were 
 strictly confined within fortified walls, on account 
 of the frequent attacks of the Indians, but as they ^ 
 were .subdued or civilized, suburbs sprang up out- \ 
 side of these boundaries.

 (piarters in Montreal, brini;s the commerce of India and China acro.ss 
 the Continent. In the year 167-, the population of Montreal was 
 1520, and an idea of the progress made in fifty years may be gleaned 
 from the fact that about this time the village of Laprairie, on the 
 southern shore, was foundetl by a band of Christian Iroquois. A 
 hundred years later, in 1770, we find the following description: 
 " Montreal is situated on an island of that name, the second place in 
 Canada for extent, buildings, and strength. The streets are regular, 
 forming an oblong square, and the houses are well built. The city

 has six or seven gates, large and small, but its fortifications are 
 mean and inconsiderable. The inhabitants, about five thousand, 
 are gay and live- 
 1 y , and more 
 attached to dress 
 and finery than 
 those of Ouebec, 
 and, from the 
 luimber of silk 
 sacks, laced 
 coats, and pow- 
 dered heads that 
 are constantly 
 
 seen in the streets, a stranger would imagine that Montreal was 
 wholly inhabited by people of independent fortunes." As the 
 present population is about three hundred thousand, considerable 
 progress is manifest since 1770. For a long time Commissioners 
 street, on the water front, was the great business thoroughfare ; then 
 vSt. Paul street doffed its private character and assumed a commer- 
 cial aspect. Later on business found its way into Notre-Dame street 
 and thence into vSt. James street, but here its limitations were 
 marked for many years. At this time Craig street was an open 
 ditch, that surrounded the old fortifications of the cit}-. This, in 
 time, was filled up and transformed into a broad avenue, and then 
 
 trade crept still further north. 
 Within the past few years, St. 
 Catherine street, so long devoted 
 to private residences, has become 
 the centre of great activity, and 
 dwellings are constantly being con- 
 verted into stores. Important im- 
 provements have been completed 
 by the municipal authorities within 
 the past ten years that contribute 
 to the beauty and facilities of the 
 city. Nearly all the streets have 
 been paved, and .several of the 
 leading thoroughfares have been 
 widened. There has also been a 
 notable increa.se of buildings erected

 has been noticeable in the erection of private dwellings, and many

 large stone building facing us, with its prominent dome, is the 
 Hotel-Dieu, St-Joseph-de-Ville-Marie. It was first founded over 
 two hundred and fifty years ago, by the Duchess de Buillion, and 
 much of the early history of Montreal is bound up with it. Turning 
 into I'ine avenue, we have a good view of the buildings of the Royal 
 Victoria Hospital, the joint gift of vSir Donald A. vSmith and Lord 
 Mount-Stephen. It is constructed on the most approved plans, 
 equipped with all modern appliances, and recognized 
 as one of the leading ho.spitals on the Continent.

 of Hochelaga, visited by Jacques Cartier, 
 .-' " 1535- 1'he University owes its origin to the 
 
 Hon. James McGill. who. by his will, dated 8th January, i8ii. 
 devised the estate of Burnside. consisting of forty-seven acres of 
 land with the manor house and buildings thereon erected, and also 
 bequeathed the sum of/,"io,ooo to the Royal Institution of Learning 
 to establish a university to be distinguished by the appellation of 
 McGill. With the proceeds of this estate the present institution 
 was commenced, and a Royal charter obtained in 1821, and re- 
 organized by an amended charter in 1S52. The William Molson 
 Hall, being the west wing of the College building, was erected in 186 1 , 
 by the donation of Mr. William Molson. The Peter Redpath Mu.seum 
 was donated to the Lniver.sity, in 1880, by Mr. Redpath. In 1890, Mr. 
 W. C. McDonald gave the McDonald Phy.sics Building and its equip- 
 ment to the University , which is one of the most valuable additions to 
 McGill, and in the same year the Redpath Library was added as the 
 gift of Mr. Peter Redpath. The Donalda Building is the gift of Sir 
 Donald A. Smith, ns a college for the higher education of women.

 Within a few min- 
 utes' drive from McGill on Sherbrooke street, we reach the substan- 
 tial buildings and ample grounds of Montreal College, under the 
 direction of the Sulpicians. This is one of the best classical colleges 
 in America. In connection with it is the Grand Seminary, and 
 recently a new school of philosophy has been erected on the hill, 
 near the botanical gardens, to accomodate the increasing number 
 of students. From this college priests have gone forth into almost 
 every diocese of the United States. Close to the entrance of the 
 new building may be .seen the ruins of capitulation house, which is 
 as.serted by tradition to have been the headquarters of General

 Canada was signed here, 1760." 
 
 From the mountain, and during our drive, we have been able 
 to form an idea of the extent as well as the aspect of the city. It 
 now remains for us to direct attention to the numerous buildings 
 and institutions that are calculated to prove of interest. 
 
 The Laval University is to the French, what McGill is to the 
 English — their principal seat of learning. The chief seat of Laval, 
 
 however, is at Quebec. It rose out of the 
 Seminary of Quebec, founded by Mgr. Laval, 
 a princely prelate, who endowed the institution with his vast wealth. 
 The university charter is dated 1852, and therein is given the 
 name of its founder. The lectures of the faculties in Montreal 
 have hitherto been delivered in various buildings scattered over 
 the city, but recently a new and handsome building has 
 been erected on St. Denis street. 
 
 Amongst Montreal's most interesting buildings is the 
 Chateau de Ramezay — one of the oldest historical land- 
 marks —associated with events of the great- 
 est importance in Canadian history. It 
 was built in 1705 by Claude de Ramezay, 
 governor of Montreal. Within its venerable walls, after 
 the fall of Quebec, in 1760, arrangements were completed 
 for the withdrawal of the last french garrison from Mont- 
 real, by which act the finest colony of France ' ^ 
 and for which the French , s.'v'^'-'r' ^ 
 
 had done so nuich, be- 
 came the po.ssession of - .- - -.r^^J^^r^ 
 Britain. -'3'^% 
 
 In 1775 the Chateau ..^-^Mi^J^ - 
 was again made memor- . 
 able as the headciuarters ', 
 of the American Briga- 
 dier-General Wooster, 
 and in the following 
 year, under General 
 Benedict Arnold, the 
 Commissioners of Con- 
 
 Montreal's 
 Public Buildings.

 gress, Henjainin I'Vanklin, Samuel Chase, and Charles Carroll, of 
 Carrolton, here held council. To Benjamin Franklin Montreal was 
 indebted for its first printer 
 — Fleury Mesplet, who 
 established the Ga':ctti\ 
 which is still in existence, 
 as one of the leading papers 
 of the city. 
 
 For years after the 
 British conquest the Cha- 
 teau was recognized as the 
 official residence of F^nglish 
 governors while here, h'or 
 a time a portion of the 
 building was used as the 
 Circuit Court, but it is now 
 converted into a museum, 
 
 in which repose many interesting souvenirs associated with the 
 history of the Province. 
 
 A visit to the spacious vaults will give an idea of the stability 
 of the structure, which could not be obtained from an exterior view. 
 To the west of the Chateau is situated the Court Hou.se, recently 
 enlarged to meet the legal requirements of Montreal and the District. 
 Affixed to this building is a tablet bearing this in.scription : " Here 
 stood the church, chapel, and residence of the Jesuit Fathers. Built 
 1692, occupied as military headquarters 1800. Burnt 1803. Charle- 
 voix and Lafitau, among others, sojourned here. On the square, in 
 front, four Iroquois suffered death by fire, in reprisal, by order 
 
 of Frontenac, 
 1696."

 north side of the Court House overlooks a large open space, known as 
 Champ-deMars, .still uscil as a military parade ground. The soldiers 
 of France and the British troops have both trod this historic ground. 
 
 Ka.st of the Court House is the City Hall, a handsome structure 
 of grey cut stone. From the tower a fine view is to be obtained. 
 
 The Natural Society Museum, .situated on University street, is 
 a .small, unpretentious l)uilding, Init it will undoubtedly prove 
 intert.sting to many of our visitors. The library is rich in scientific 
 lore, while many pricele.ss colections are to be found in the mu.seum. 
 The Ferrier collection of Ivgyptian antiquities is probably the most 
 perfect in America. The Natural History Society, which publishes 
 the Canadian 
 Record of 
 Science, has 
 its headquar- 
 ters in this 
 building. 
 
 The Art 
 Gallery, lo- 
 cated on Phil- 
 lips Square, 
 contains a fine 
 collection, in 
 which Can- 
 adian art is 
 well repre- 
 sented, but

 loan exhibitions are held here, when works are on view from the 
 private galleries of wealthy citizens. vSome of the most valuable

 The only public library in Montreal is the Fraser Institute, on 
 Dorchester street. The number of volumes is somewhat small, 
 though the selection is good. In the French section there are mr.ny 
 exceedingly valuable works. 
 
 The Board of Trade, on St. Sacrament street, is probably the 
 largest public building in the city. It is a fine solid structure of red 
 .stone, .six stories in height and well laid out. Many of the large manu- 
 facturers and corporations have offices in the building. The Board's

 sance style, and has recently been altered to meet the requirements 
 of the city, but it is still considered too small for the vast amount of 
 business transacted. 
 
 Place d'Armes. In this square, past and present interests are united. 
 On the north side is the Bank of Montreal, one of the wealthiest 
 
 institutions on 
 the Continent, 
 having a capital 
 of $12,000,000, 
 and a reserve 
 fund of $6,000, 
 000. The style 
 of its architec- 
 ture, of the Co- 
 rinthian order, 
 forms a pleasing 
 contrast to the 
 buildings which 
 surround it. The 
 sculpture of the 
 pediment, repre- 
 senting Can- 
 adian scenes, is 
 
 the work of Mr. Steel, R.S.A. vSome of the frescoes of the interior 
 are considered very fine and should be seen. The northern boundary 
 of the city, in 1721, extended as far as this building, the stone forti- 
 fications running through its site. 
 
 Facing the Bank, on the south side, is the parish church of 
 Notre-Dame, with its two impressive towers, which rise lo a height 
 of 227 feet. The length of the church is 255 feet, with a breadth of 
 i;-;5 feet, and a seating capacity of 14,000. To see this vast edifice 
 crowded, as it is on important festivals of the Church, such as 
 midnight mass at Chri.stmas and similar occasions, is a most impos- 
 ing spectacle. 
 
 A new chapel at the southeast of the church has been recently 
 consecrated, and is a beautiful specimen of ecclesiastical architecture.

 in which the signature of de Maisonneuve, the founder of Montreal. 
 lVe(iiiently occurs. 
 
 On the eastern corner of the scjuare is a tablet reading thus : 
 " In 1675, here lived Daniel de (Ucsolon, vSieur Dulhut, one of the 
 explorers of the Upper Mississippi, after whom the city of Dulutli 
 was named." 
 
 A little further east, is the site of the hou.se of the founder of 
 another American city, distingui.shed by a tablet reading: "In 
 
 1694, here stood 
 
 the house of La 
 
 Mothe Cadillac, 
 
 the founder of 
 
 Detroit." 
 
 The whole of 
 the ground in 
 this vicinity pos- 
 .sesses a charm 
 for the antiqua- 
 rian and histo- 
 rian. The centre 
 of the .square, 
 now adorned by 
 a monument to 
 the founder, was 
 once the scene of a battle. The event is recalled by an inscription on 
 a building to the east of the Hank of Montreal : " Near this square, 
 afterwards named La Place d'Armes, the founders of Ville Marie first 
 encountered the Iroquois, whom they defeated ; Chomedey de Mai- 
 sonneuve killing the chief with his own hands. 30th March, 1644." 
 The monument, unveiled recently, illustrates some of the principal 
 events in the founder's career, and also perpetuates the memory of 
 .several of his contemporaries. 
 
 On this square, picturescjueh' situated, are man\- 
 of the important buildings of Montreal. The 
 Windsor, one of the best hotels in Canada, occupies a commanding 
 site at the corner of Dorchester street. The hotel is thoroughly 
 equipped and provides accommodation for .seven hundred guests. A 
 large hall adjoining, with a .seating capacity of 1600, is utilized as 
 a l)all-room and as a liall for private or public receptions. Both in

 years, when the winter carnival was held on the square, a splendid 
 
 view of the ice palace 
 and other bnilflings could 
 be obtained from the 
 windows of the hotel. 
 Facing the southeast 
 corner of the hotel is the 
 Macdonald memorial, 
 erected to the memory of 
 the late Hon. vSir John 
 A. Macdonald. Prime 
 Minister of Canada and 
 one of the ' ' Fathers of 
 Confederation." The 
 monument was unveiled on the (^K\\ of June, i<S95, by Lord A])erdeen, 
 the present (rovernor-Creneral. The bronze figure, under the canopy, 
 repre.sents the Premier in the robes of a Grand Commander of the 
 Bath, of which order he was a member. The canopy is crowned 
 with a figure of Canada, encircled by the nine provinces of the 
 Dominion. The has relief panels are illu.strative of .scenes of Cana- 
 dian industry. The figures were designed and modelled by Mr. 
 Wade, an l{ngli.sh .sculptor. 
 
 At the .southeast of the square, facing Dorchester avenue, is St. 
 James' Cathedral, claimed to be the largest church on the Continent. 
 The foundations 
 were commenced 
 in 1870, and 
 ni u c h of t h e 
 work IS still in- 
 complete. The 
 ground plan of 
 the cathedral is 
 designed in the 
 form of a cro.ss, 
 330 feet long and 
 222 feet wide, 
 after the model 
 of St. Peter's at 
 Rome.

 and rises to a hei^^ht of 210 feet inside, while the exttenie lieij;ht to 
 the top of the cross is 2,S() fet-t. Adjoining the cath«.-dral on tlie sonlli 
 is the palace of the Roman Calliolic Archbishop of Montreal. 
 
 I'acing the west end of the cathedral, on Dorchester street, is the 
 new stone antl brick, slrnctnre of the V.M.C.A. The appointments 
 of this building are very complete, and it has a large niend)ership. 
 
 Locatetl at the southwest of the scpiare is the massive grey stone 
 building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The exterior appearance 
 would scarcely indicate that it was the terminus of a modern rail- 
 road ; its .substantial tower and turrets, with their ancient loop-holes, 
 suggesting rather the days of feudal might. However, any .such 
 
 illusion is imme- 
 diately dispelled on 
 ^oing into the in- 
 terior, where the 
 luxurious waiting 
 rooms and admira- 
 bly arranged offices 
 point to the highest 
 civilization of the 
 nineteenth century. 
 At the foot of the 
 hill is the handsome 
 red brick building, 
 the principal sta- 
 tion of the Grand Trunk Railway. The spacious offices of this 
 company are, however, located at Point St. Charles. 
 
 Within a few minutes' drive of the square, on Dorchester street, 
 is a building always attractive to visitors — the Grey Nuns' Hospital. 
 ii was founded in 1747, by Madame de Youville, the widow of an 
 officer. Many objects of interest are to be seen here, such as the per- 
 sonal belongings of the foundress. There is also a legendary interest 
 attached to portions of the grounds. The story of the red cro.ss, which 
 is to be seen at the corner of Dorchester street, takes us back to the 
 days of the rack, for it is said'to mark the grave of one who, after 
 conviction of murder and robbery, was condemned to be broken alive. 
 In "Montreal" after 250 years by Mr. Liglithall, we find that the 
 puni.shment inflicted on this unfortunate individual was as follows : 
 "He was condemned to torture ordinary and extraordinary, and

 The daughter of the founder of the State of Vermont, Ethan 
 Allen, was a member of the order of the Grey Nuns, and there is a 
 pretty legend connected with her and a picture of St. Joseph which 
 led her to finally adopt the vows of the sisterhood. 
 
 Montreal is known far and wide as the city of churches and 
 there are many others besides those we have already mentioned that 
 
 are worthy of inspection. 
 Christ Church Cathedral, 
 on St. Catherine street, is a 
 fine specimen of Gothic 
 architecture, and its pro- 
 portions are very beautiful. 
 On Bleury street is the 
 Church of the Gesu, built 
 after the plan of the Gesu 
 at Rome, from a design by 
 Mr. Keeley, of Brooklyn. 
 N.V. It vv'as consecrated 
 on December 3rd, 1865. 
 The edifice is one hundred 
 and ninety-two feet in 
 length, and one hundred 
 and forty -four feet wide at 
 the transept ; the height in 
 the centre is seventy-five 
 feet. The towers, which 
 will be the principal external attraction, [have not yet been l)uilt. 
 There is a profusion of altars on both sides of the church, and in the 
 niches and corners. The paintings of the Gesu are, however, the 
 great attraction for all visitors. 
 
 St. Patrick's Church is one of the finest structures in the city. 
 It is/>«;' excellence the shrine where the Irish Catholics worship. It 
 is surrounded by extensive grounds. The church is under the 
 direction of the members of St. Sulpice. and its aisles have witnessed 
 some of the mo.st imposing ceremonies ever beheld in Montreal. 
 
 On St. Catherine street, immediately east of St. Denis, is the 
 giiu-like Church of Notre- Dame-de-Lourdes. This was built in

 Ancient Buildings, wc are iudebt- 
 "**=• ed for the nu- 
 
 merous tablets, which, with 
 their inscriptions, indicate 
 places of historic interest that 
 would otherwise be lost sight of. 
 At the corner of St. Peter 
 and vSt. Paul streets a tablet is 
 affixed to a building, the in- 
 scription of which reads as fol- 
 lows : "Here lived Robert Cavalier, Sieur de La Salle, 1668." 
 The name of La Salle stands out boldly in history, and reference 
 has been made to him pre\iously in connection with the village 
 of Lachine. To Americans and Canadians his deeds appeal with 
 equal force. ()f him the late h'rancis Parkman, of Poston, wrote: 
 " Beset by a throng of enemies, he stands, like the King of Israel, 
 hei.d and shoulders over all. He was a tower of adamant, again.st 
 who.se impregnable front hardship and danger, the rage of man and 
 the elements, tlie M)nth- 
 ern sun, the tiorlliern 
 blast, fatigue. Inniine nnd 
 disea.se, dela>>, disajv 
 pointments and deferred 
 hopes, emptied their 
 quivers in \ain. The 
 very pride, which, Cari- 
 olanus like, declared its- 
 self most sternly in the 
 thickest press of foes, 
 has in it something to 
 challenge admiration.

 Never under the impenetrable mail of paladin or crusader, beat a 
 heart of more intrepid mettle, than within stoic panoply that armed 
 the breast of La Salle. America owes him an enduring memory, 
 for, in his masculine figure, she .sees the pioneer who guided her to 
 her richest heritage." La Salle met with a tragic fate, being 
 assassinated by two of his followers in Louisiana, in 1687. 
 
 Another house that will interest visitors from the sister country, 
 is situated on the southeast corner of St. Peter and Notre-Dame 
 streets. It is an old-fashioned building, but it was once the most 
 magnificent dwelling in the city, with grounds extending across 
 
 HOTF-I.-niKUX MONTRKAI,. 
 
 Notre-Dame and vSt. James streets, and terminating at Craig street. 
 It was here that the gallant American, General Montgomery, took 
 up his headquarters in 1755, and it was afterwards occupied by 
 generals Wooster and Arnold, of the United States Army. The 
 interior decoration appears to have been very elaborate, for we find 
 this description : "The principal rooms were wainscotted up to a 
 certain height, and, above that, tapestried richly with scenes from 
 the life of Louis XIV." A tablet fixed to the building reads: 
 " Forrester House. Here General Montgomery resided during the 
 winter of 1775-6." 
 
 Another site that appeals to tourists, is located on St. Paul 
 street, l^etween Place Royale and St. Sulpice street, as being the 
 birthplace of Pierre LeMoine in 1661. It was he who conquered 
 the Hudson's Bay for France, in 1697, and who discovered the 
 mouth of the Mississippi, i6gg. In 1700 he was elected first 
 governor of Louisiana. His brother, who founded New Orleans, in 
 17 1 7, and was afterwards governor of Louisiana for forty years, was 
 born in this house.

 Adam Dollard. 
 
 In an old French street, off St. James street, between St. Peter 
 and McGill streets, known as Dollard Lane, is a tablet reading : 
 "To Adam Dollard des Ormeaux, who with sixteen 
 colonists, four Algonquins, and one Huron, sacrificed 
 their lives at the the Long Sault of the Ottawa, 21st May, 1660 and 
 saved the colony. 
 
 The story of the heroism of Dollard has been told over and over 
 again in prose and ver.se, and is familiar to a large number of 
 Americans thereby. A few remarks, however, at this period may 
 prove interesting. At the time that Dollard appears upon the scene, 
 the Garrison of Montreal, or Ville Marie, was held in a state of 
 terror by the threatened invasion of the Iroquois, who had vowed to 
 exterminate the French from the face of the earth and carry off the

 nuns to their villages. Adam Dollard. a young man lately arrived 
 from France, had conceived the purpose of ascending the Ottawa to 
 an advantageous post and surprising the Irocjuois, and then inflicting 
 
 such punishment upon 
 them as would relieve 
 the garrison of the 
 strain which was para- 
 lyzing it. Dollard and 
 his followers, in all 
 about sixty-three, 
 after having attended 
 mass at the parish 
 church, set forth on 
 their encounter, 
 marching by night 
 until they reached the 
 foot of the Long Sault 
 of the Ottawa. Scar- 
 cely had they taken up 
 a position when a band 
 of the enemy, number- 
 ing two hundred, was 
 seen descending the 
 rapids in canoes. Dol- 
 lard and his men then 
 fortified themselves in 
 an old Algoncjuin fort 
 and successfully repulsed the enemy. The next day the forces of the 
 Iroquois were strengthened by five hundred Mohawks, and fighting 
 was kept up under these conditions day and night for a space of ten 
 days. The French were now suffering the pangs of thirst, and thirty 
 of them, on the promise of life, leaped over the palisade and joined the 
 enemy. Dollard was now left with onl\- twenty-two followers, and, 
 seeing the weakness of his position, the Iroquois sent denia. 'ing 
 the surrender of the fort, but their message was answered by fire. 
 This increased the ferocity of the Indians, and with a determined 
 savage onslaught, they rushed over the bodies of their .slain and 
 scaled the palisade. Amid.st a .scene of the vvildest confusion, the in- 
 furiated Iroquois engaged in a hand to hand encounter, and of the 
 twenty-two who remained faithful to Dollard, only one, a Huron,

 With a brief sketch of the sports of Montreal we must close our 
 sketch of the city. 
 
 Montreal is famous for its athletic clubs. The largest body of 
 athletes is the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, whose 
 magnificent grounds are situated on St. Catherine street west, on 
 the direct line of the cars. The national game is lacrosse, which is 
 carried to greater perfection here than elsewhere. The Shamrock 
 Lacrosse Club have recently opened up their beautiful grounds in 
 the north of the city. The athletic club house, behind the moun- 
 tain, is the winter resort of the snowshoers, who tramp over the 
 snow-clad fields and mountain roads by night, to the astonishment 
 of Jiose unaccustomed to the severity of a Canadian winter. The 
 Montreal Hunt Club have a fine pack of hounds, which may be 
 seen at the ken- 
 nels. As the win- j^ ~ ""^~ ^'^'''|^ 
 ter is the season 
 for sports, when 
 the skating rinks 
 and curling clubs 
 are in full swing, 
 very little idea 
 can be obtained 
 at the present of 
 the extent or of 
 the enthusiasm 
 with which the 
 various sports 
 are indulgect in. monkiands, villa maria convent.

 From Niagara to the Sea. 
 
 OTTAWA. 
 
 The trip that we proposed is now an accomplished fact, and 
 wherever our home, it may be conveniently reached from Montreal. 
 The beauty of the scenes through which we have 
 passed may tempt visitors to penetrate further into the 
 interior. To those who have leisure at their disposal, we would 
 sugge.st a visit to the capital of the Dominion, the city of Ottawa. 
 The capital is beautifully situated on the banks of the Ottawa River, 
 
 RiDEAU CANAL, OTTAWA (from au old eugraviug). 
 
 and may be reached from Montreal by the Canada Atlantic and 
 Canadian Pacific railways, both modern and well-equipped lines, 
 or if preferable by the boats of the Ottawa River Navigation Com- 
 pany. By rail or water the scenery obtainable during the journey 
 is pleasing. Ottawa is the centre of the great lumbering interests 
 of the Dominion, where one may watch the huge logs as they are 
 deftly drawn out of the water and converted in a few minutes into 
 saleable lumber, ready for the markets of America and Europe. 
 
 Visitors may also experience the novelty of the descending the 
 slides, whereby the hardships of the lumbermen's life, for a few 
 exciting moments becomes the attractive .sport of venturesome 
 seekers of strange thrills. 
 
 The descent of the slides is a feature so peculiar to the city, 
 that all her illustrious visitors have l)een introduced to its charms, as 
 a matter of course, and have thereby been initiated into the craft of 
 the raftsmen. A part of the various scenes connected with the lum-

 ver, 
 
 bering industry, the principal feature of the city is the Parliament 
 and Departmental buildings. The first stone of these handsome 
 buildings, which cover an at«. ■. of over four acres, was laid by the 
 Prince of Wales in i860. 
 
 The buildings form three sides of a huge square, which is laid 
 down in grass, Ijeautifully kept, whose fresh green surface, crossed 
 by broad paths, stands above the level of Wellington street, from 
 which it is separated by a handsome railing. 
 
 Rising above this square, on a stone terrace, the central block, 
 with a massive tower 220 feet high in the centre, faces the square. 
 This building contains the two Chambers : one for the Senate and 
 the other for the Commons. Behind the Chambers is situated the 
 Parliamentary Library, a building of exceptional architectural grace. 
 It is fitted with every convenience, and is admirably arranged for 
 reading purposes. The collection of the Library is exceedingly 
 valuable. Running entirely round the three blocks of the Parlia- 
 ment buildings is a broad drive, and at the sides and in the rear of 
 the Library the grounds are laid out in well-planted beds, with great 
 stretches of green lawn overlooking the cliffs. From here a com- 
 manding view is obtained of the Ottawa River. The drives in the 
 vicinity of Ottawa are charming. About two miles from the city is 
 Rideau Hall, the re.sidence of the Governor- General. 
 
 The city is up to date in every way. it has an excellent electric 
 railway system and .several fir.st-class hotels. 
 
 Before saying an revoir to the tourist we wish to draw his atten- 
 tion to the hotels, railways and supply houses who are advertisers 
 
126

 iu this book. None but first-class houses have been accepted for 
 these pages, and travellers can depend on the reliability of the firms 
 whom we recommend. An index of these hou.ses will be found on 
 pages 133 and 134, and will serve as a guide to tourists wishing to 
 select a hotel or to make purchases.

 Where it is Manufactured, ft 
 
 f^"- 
 
 PRESCOTT, Ontario, Canada, where " WIscr's Canada 
 
 Whiskey" is made, is situated on the north bank of tlie vSt. Law- 
 rence River, at the foot of the Thousand Islands, opposite the city 
 of OgdensDurg, N. V. 
 
 The River ,St. I^awrence is not only noted for its l^eauty, but 
 also for the ])urit}' of its water, and is one of the very best for the 
 manufacture of whiskey. 
 
 The pnrit>- of this water, toj^ether with the great facilities for 
 shipping, led to tlic establishment, in 1850, of this distillery. 
 
 The whiskey made here soon became famed for its purity and 
 excellence, which has never been surpas.sed, necessitating constantly 
 increased manufacturing facilities, until the busine.ss, under the 
 management of J. P. Wiser, has grown to its present vast proportions 
 and obtained the enviable reputation it now enjoys. 
 
 With each succeeding year came large inimbers of travellers to 
 Canada who were not .slow to realize and apprecirte the superior 
 {|ualities of " Wiser's Canada Whiskey." 
 
 This (act created such a demand for it, that now it is to be 
 found in all the principal cities of the country, and holds its high 
 place in the estimation of the public because of the great care and 
 attenticu: given to every detail of manufacture.
