 Capital of the Dominion, and in 
 Ontahio, whore the railway now renuiins until Manitoba 
 
 is reached. Ottawa is pictun'H(|nely situated at the 
 
 junction of tlie Kideau river witli the Ottawa. Naviga- 
 tion is interrupted hero by tlu* falls of the Chaudiere, 
 whoso remarkable cataracts are seen in crossing the 
 rivers. This gigantic waterpower is utilized, and some 
 f)f the largest kunber manufactories in the Dominion, 
 are hero visible from \\m bridge; and also the timbi^r- 
 slides, by which the hnnber from the upper river pa.sscs 
 down without damage into the navigable water below. 
 Close to the city, are the pretty Kideau falls. The city 
 if.self stands upon high ground overlooking the falls 
 and the Inmber-yards. — The i)rincipal places of interest 
 within it aro the public buildings, some of which, most 
 
 Erominently the octagonal and Inittressed Library, can 
 e j)lainly seen from the railway. These are of magni- 
 ficent proportions, and ornate architecture. Kideau Ilall, 
 the residence of the governor-general, is two miles 
 
 distant. Ottawa is becoming not only the residence 
 
 of many public men, and attracting a brilliant social 
 circle, but factories of various kinds are accumulating.

 and many rapids and romantic 
 lirooks, suggesting good fishing, please 
 the eye. As Muttawa is approached 
 tlie land becomes ro)igh and strewn 
 with ledges and boulders, which (con- 
 tinues for some distance further : the 
 valleys and borders ofthe many hikes 
 are tillable and fertile, but farmers 
 are few. MatUiwa has 1,OOU jiop. and

 extensive and new settlements in- ' 
 creasing. The railway then strikes ! 
 westward, through pretty scenery, to- 
 ward the ridge separating the basin 
 of L. Suixjrior from Hudson's bay, ! 
 along the old fur-trading canoe-and- | 
 stage route to the Northwest. This is 
 a wild and difficult region, rocky and 
 uninviting to the farmer, but with 
 large resources for ties, firewood and j 
 certain kinds of timber. Minerals i 
 abound and near Savanne are pro- 
 litable gold mines. The rivers are 
 rich in romantic scenery, and invite 
 conoeists, who can find Indian guides 
 and heli)ers, and can buy provisions 
 from traders. Deer and other large 
 game range the woods, and ducks 
 throng about the lakes. Ignace is a 
 railway divisional point and Eagle 
 River a good centre for fishing.

 point'of the Canadian Northwest, a fertile region extond- 
 ]n<; from the. Ked river for a thousand miles west and 
 lifteen hun<lred miles northwest, to the mountains of 
 British Cohimhia, — a region already producing grain and 
 cattle to an enormous extent, and having possibilities 
 beyond the grasp of the most sanguine mind. Interest 
 must give place to amaz(Mneiil on seeing the change that 
 has been wrought in five short years. The massive grain 
 elevators and ilouring mills, the well-tilled farms and the 
 numberless lu^rds of cattle, would elsewhere indicate a 
 growth of decades. The many railway lines radiating 
 from Winnipeg,and the twenty miles of well-lilled sidings 
 at that point, give evidence of the immensity of the 
 traflic of the country beyond." Two branch lines con- 
 nect Winnipeg with the United States. The oHices antl 
 plant of the Western Division of the Can. I'ac. R'y C'c,

 built, wherein an elegant dining-room will l)e found.

 yet a few miiuitoa later wo find the ji;iant lias been

 {K^rpendicnlar massive precipice-front, streaked with a 
 thousand colors which glow in the sunshine, we half 
 shrink from what seems an inevitable crash. From 
 tliis precipice falls a narrow cascade, making a leap of 
 about 1,800 feet. Surely it will presently burst over us ! 
 But no; a few minutes later Afount Cascade has mys-

 Banff— Station for the National Park, and the Hot Springs 
 of Banff"— a medicinal watering-place and pleasure- resort. 
 This park is a tract of many s(]uare miles embracing 
 every variety of scenery, cliarming and wonderful, which 
 the government has already made accvssible by many 
 (^arriage-roads and bridle-paths. In the rivers and lakes 
 trout are iilentiful and of a size unheard of elsewlier(\ 
 and in the hills and forests roam deer, mountain sheep, 
 and goats. The general altitude of the valley is about 
 4,500 feet, lloads have been built northward to Devil's ^ 
 lake, an extremely deep sheet of water, walled in by 
 tremendous cliffs, and overlooked by that remarkable^ I 
 peak, the Devil's Head, whi<^h forms a well-known land- 
 mark, since it is visible far out upon the plains. Tim 
 fishing here is unrivalled, and the scenery grand. In 
 the Bow river, near Banff station, are some beautiful 
 falls and rapids, dropping 60 feet in the course of ii 
 few rods. Cottages and small hotels now exist; but the 
 railway is building a very large and elegant hotel, with | 
 jierfect arrangements for bathing in the spring water, J 
 and for all sorts of recreation. I

 tion." {Lad 11 Macdonald.) Another writer has this t( 
 
 say of tlie scenery : — "The Bow river at this point is ; 
 swift, deep stream of pea-greoa water. We follow it 
 through low forest for several miles, and then at Castl\

 stated to be 8,240 feet above the track. Tlie castellateil 
 mass this side of it, which comes into good view on the 
 left, as soon as the summit is passed, is Cathedral moun- 
 tain. A magnificent picture of snowy peaks, one behimt 
 the other, l)ursts upon the vision across the valley 
 toward the north and west; and the difficulties of the 
 descent begin. "We saw the little stream gradually 
 diminishing as we ascended towards the lake, and now 
 on the other side we see another little rill running out 
 of a swamp and led into an artificial channel. Tliis is 
 the first stream encountered that goes towards the 
 Pacific, and it is one of the heads of the Kicking Horse 
 river. We follow it along, and the little brooklet expands 
 into a creek, and leads us past the Cathedral mountain, 
 broad and snow-covered, its towers and pinnacles resem- 
 bling some great Duomo. We have pierced the range, 
 and now start downward on the Pacific slope by a steepj

 train, and all brakes put on, so that these, with the! 
 reversed engines, retard the descent. Rounding a curve,!

 a long glacier. Tlio little stream expands into a lake, 
 where wild duci<s disport, l)iit the forest tires have 
 blackened all tlie surronndinj? surfaces. Wintliny tlirotigii 
 the valley is tiie 'tote road' of the railway Imilders, a 
 necessary jtreliniinary of the work, but now abandoned. 
 We pnss the little station of Hrrlor (nanieil from Dr. 
 Hector, the hero of the 'kickinj; horse' incident after 
 which the pass was christened by Palliser's exploring 
 exfXKlition, about 184.")), wlii<'h is nestling? under the 
 shadow of Mount Stephen. Our little creek has become 
 a mountain torrent, and falls into (|uite. a hu%'e lakif, 
 frt)m which Hows on the ri^jht hand the Kicking Horse 
 river. Here begins the great carKni which tliis stream, 
 with imjnilsive suddenness, soon carves deep into the 
 mountain side. The river l)ecomes a wild and roaring 
 torrent, leaping over cataracts and dashing down rapids 
 far below ns, making a vast Hssure in the mountain 
 which the railway has to get down by dillicult work 
 
 and skilful engineering The route is cut out of the 
 
 great clitl's high up on the sloping side of the canon, 
 turning and twisting about in the roughest country 
 imaginable to put a railway through. Mountain jieaks 
 are seen everywhere, with subsidiary valleys between 
 them, each sending out its rushing stream to feed the 
 swelling river that roars over the boulders far below. 
 The views along these are indescribably grand, while 
 their sides are composed of great and small rocks appa- 
 rently strewn about by some terrific convulsion. Pass- 
 ing under the edge of the Tiinnei mountain the railway 
 tinally gets dcjwn to the bottom of this portion of the 
 canon, where the river flows with comparative ijeaceful- 
 ness into a valley of some breadth. Here, under the 
 edge of the Tunnel mountain, with the river in front 
 and an array of other peaks opposite, the Railway is 
 building a pretty Swiss chalet, as a mountain halting 
 place for tourists. This is Field, 2,395 miles west of Mon- 
 treal, named from Cyrus W. Field, of New York, who 
 has always been a great advocate of this route." 
 (London TimeK) 
 
 The most striking view along this stretch is where the 
 line crosses for the second time the Kicking Horse, where 
 the river rushes underneath the railway through a deep 
 and narrow gulch. The traveller here sees a valley com- 
 ing doAvn from the right, out of a marvelous array of 
 snow-laden and glacier-studded peaks, the most promi- 
 nent of which (on the opposite side, ahead) is Mt. Field. 
 After passing the tunnel this huge peak comes into 
 plainer view. The hotel at Field (which is the first 
 station in British Columbia) is an excellent point for 
 stoppage. It is managed by the Company, and well 
 provided in every way.

 ft is the SeUirk riwtje of mountains, lofty, rock-ribbed 
 and glacial. Their base is liidden behind massive folds 
 of foot-hills looking almost black beneath a mantle of 
 spruce, which sweeps far up the sides of even the central 
 I'ones, intercepted here and there by jutting crags, cut 
 from top to bottom in long lanes mowed year after year 
 by the avalanche.s, and capped by a chain of summits 
 from whose turrets winter never retreats. And when 
 the afternoon sun is dropping slowly towards it, and the 
 mists of the great valley have risen into light clouds 
 that tleecily veil the cold i)eaks, they swim in a radiant 
 warmth and glory of color that suggests Asgard, the 
 celestial city of Scandinavian story, whose founda- 
 tions were laid on the icy pillars of those far northern 
 mountains where the Vikings worshiped. 
 
 0.03 Gtolden— A small village on the bank of the Columbia 
 river. Much gold mining has been done in the vicinity, 
 and the place is steadily growing in importance. From 
 here the steamer Duchess makes weekly trips (Thursday) 
 to the head-lakes of the Columbia, where there are placer 
 mines. This trip is a novel one, profitable to both sports- 
 man and lover of scenery. From the head of naviga- 
 tion, roads and trails lead over to Findlav creek and 
 mining village; and to the agricultural and grazing dis- 
 tricts in the Kootbnay valley.

 Tlie f'olunilua is cmssed 
 and its wcsttirn hank fol- 
 lowed down to the (iate of 
 the Beaver, into which the 
 line turns sharply tu the 
 left toward Ko«;er's pass tliroufjjh Selkirks. CrussiuK the 
 roluinhiaon a line truss bri<lge, the railway runs down 
 Its marj^'in elose under hi^di wooded bluffs, which here 
 rise into the foot IiIIIb of the Selkirks. The banks of the 
 river opposite are also lofty blufls. Seventeen miles be- 
 low Donald the Beaver river conies down from the 
 mountains, tindinf; exit throujj;h a narrow oi»ening be- 
 tween high rocks, after the manner of all the streams in 
 this re^'iou. Up through this ^'atewav the railwav turns 
 and follows the jjorj^'o of the Bc^avor for several' miles, 
 by means of admirable engineerint,' and through enchant- 
 itig scenery. It occupies a bed cut into the mountain 
 side, higher and higher above the stream, which is pre- 
 sently abandoned for the side-gorge at the right, down 
 which Mountain ctreek leaps and dashes, and is crossed 
 upon a bridge nearly 1200 feet in length. Beyond, Cedar 
 creek is crossed by a bridge 125 feet in height, and not 
 far west of it is a bridge spanning a rivulet which 
 descends in a succession of foaming cascades, whence 
 one of the most beautiful i)ro8pects of the whole journey 
 IS to be had. So impressed were the builders with the 
 charm of this magnificent picture of mountains, that 
 they named the spot The Sur]>nsi'. The principal diffi- 
 culty in construction along this part of the line was 
 occasioned by the torrents, many of them in splendid 
 cascades, which come down the very steep slopes along 
 which the road creeps. To span tliese fierce torrents 
 with bridges or culverts which would not be torn away 
 required great skill and a liberal expenditure. Several 
 of the more notable bridges have been mentioned, but 
 the greatest of all crosses Stony creek— a noisy rill flow- 
 ing in the bottom of a V-shaped channel, cut deeply into 
 the soft rock. To so high a level upon the hillside was 
 the line compelled to attain, that this bridge spans the 
 ravine 295 feet above the torrent— one of the loftiest 
 railway bridges in the world. It is about 750 feet long 
 and cost $250,000. After crossing this bridge the lino 
 follows up the gorge of the insignific^ant Bear creek, at 
 whose source is the narrow portal, between Mt. Carroll 
 on the south and Hermit mountain northward, whitih

 Boger's Pass— Summit of the Selkirks, 4,;5()() ft. in altitude 
 at the station. The pa.ss was named after Maj. Roj^ers, 
 hy whose adventurous encw-^'y and skill it was discov(M-ed 
 in 1883, previous to which no hninan foot had penetrated 
 these fastnesses of this jzreat central ran^e. The pass 
 lies between two lines of huy;o snow-clad peaks. That 
 on the right forms a i)rodigious ampitheutre, whose 
 parai)et, eight or nine thousand feet al)(»ve the valley, 
 encircles vast sjiaces of snow and shi'lters wide fields (»f 
 |)erp)etual ice, glaciers h(>si<le which tlio.s(* of Switzerland 
 would be insignilicant, and so lu^ar them that the 
 shining green fissures jXMietrating their mass (^aii be dis- 
 tinctly seen. The changing ett'ects of light and shadow 
 on this brotherhood of j)eaks, of which The Hermit is 
 chief, are Ijeyond statement, and never to be forgotten 
 by the fortunate man who has seen the sunset or sunrise 
 tinting their battlenients, or has looked up from the 
 valley about him at some snow-shower trailing its 
 curtain along their crests, with perchance a white peak 
 or two standing serene above the harndess storm. 
 
 Glacier House — Two miles west of the summit the train 
 turns to the left and takes one into view of the greatest 
 of all the Selkirk glaciers, overlooked l>y the stately 
 monolith named Sir Donald }X3ak, after Sir Donald 
 Smith of Montreal. Facing this enormous field of ice 
 and that crowning summit of the range, whoso head is 
 reared a mile ami a (jnarter in vertical height above the 
 track, stands the pretty Swiss ch.llet which forms a meal- 
 station for passing trains, and a most comfortable 
 stopping place for tourists who wish to hunt or fish or 
 explore the surrounding mountains and glaciers. The 
 great glacier is hardly a mile away, and its forefoot is 
 only a few hundred feet above the level of the hotel. A 
 goo<l path has l)een made to it, and its exploration is 
 entirely practicable, adding sensations of novelty and 
 superiority of size to all those features that attract 
 Alpine climbers in Switzerland. Many other pleasant 
 paths and " improvements " have been made in the 
 jieighborhood of this hotel, which oflfers a luxurious

 HH (tviiicinj^ daring cn;rin(H'rin'_' skill, than this pass, 
 wluTf the road-hed curves in /oopn over trestU^dlrid^eM 
 of inunense hei^rht, at the same tiino rapidly descend- 
 ing.'. In six niili^s of actual travellin<i tlu^ train only 
 advances two antl a half inik^s, so ninnenai.s are the 
 \\indin<;.s necessary to j^et thronjih this ca'lon. As I sit 
 looking: forward (lV»wn the pass I can see lony Irestle- 
 brid^'CH below, and yet on n linr witli the one we are 
 crossinji at the nlonl(^nt ! '^h(^y eliow above the forest, 
 sharply distinct, so far below, that for a inonieiit my 
 lieart beats (|uickly a^ I feel tlio brakes tighten, and the 
 en>:ine l)e.ar on with a (piiet, steady, slower rush round 
 and down and over, while I look throutrh the trestle- 
 beams into the burryinjj; foam of waters bW feet below." 
 The outlet of this n'lK'it^r is the Illecillewaet ("swift 
 current") river, and it is by its gorjre that the desceait 
 is made The best views are now backwarfl, toward Sir 
 Ponald and adjacent peaks, which many judjieto be the 
 grandest of all se(!n. The Illecillewaet is a stream of no 
 great si/e but of courr-e turbulent, whose water is at first 
 pea-green with glacial mud, but rapidly clarifies. The 
 gorge is sometimes of (Considerable width, filled with 
 that remarkable forest of gigantic trees for which Bri- 
 tish Columbia is famous, and there are exceedingly 
 grand outlooks all along, especially backward. Half- 
 way down the train skirts the very brink of several 
 rcMuarkably deep canons, cut like enormous trenches 
 througb the solitl rock, wbose sheer walls rise bnndreds 
 of feet on- the opposite side, too steeply to let any soil 
 or vegetation cling, and buttress the wooded crags 
 beyond which ranks of glacial mountains are heaped 
 against the sky. The most striking of these canons is 
 the Albert, where a deep fissure opens in the rocks and 
 the river suddenly drops down a cataract some 200 ft., 
 Howing nearly 800 ft. below the railway, a raging mass 
 of waters comi)res3ed into a stream scarcely 20 ft. wide. 
 "This strange chasm twists about, and from the train 
 you have momentary glimpses of the foaming waters 
 far below. When it stops, the pa'^sengers rush out to get 
 a better view of the abyss. At another place, nearer the 
 Columbia, there is a second gorge, broader but much 
 similar." After the linge mountam known as the Twin 
 Butte (which has a notch cut in the i)eak, dividing it 
 into two summits) has been passed, there looms up

 Then the ascent of the Gold range begins by moderate 
 gradients and through earlh-cuttinus to the Summit 
 lake, at the top of Eaglo pass, 1,800 feet al»ovo the sea. 
 "The railway is laid along a succession of lakes and 
 conno(;ting streams that conduct it through tho moun- 
 taitis, and by comparatively easy gradients it getn both 
 up to and down from the pass. Tlie region traversed is 
 a gold-producing se(!tion, and prospectors and placer 
 miners are numerous, though there are scarcely any 
 other settlements anywhere in the mountains. The 
 Gold range has some snow-capped r)eak8, but generally 
 they are much lower than the Rockies or the Selkirks, 
 and liave more rounded tops, being composed of loose 
 materials, reguiring very little difficult rock-cutting in 
 building the line. The region is a universal forest in the 
 valleys and ujmdu the mountain slopes. . . . The 
 principal lakes in succession are Summit, Victor, Three 
 Valley and (jriffin. We go through these forests to the 
 summit of the pass, which is the dividing ridge between 
 the waters seeking the Pacific ocean by tlie Columbia 
 river and these flowing westward through the Fraser 
 river. At the actual summit there is a long and narrow 
 lake of- beautiful clear water surrounded by high moun- 
 tains. This is the beginning of the Eagle river, and the 
 raihvay route is cut out of the rocky border of the lake. 
 Its winding shores ^nd overhanging cliffs are very pretty.

 yards to two or thr(Hi miles in breadth, and their high, 
 bold shores, fringed by tlu* little narrow l>each of sand 
 and pebbles, with alternating bays andcaixis, give beau-

 long distance along the Houthern shores of the lake, run- 
 ning entirely around the end of the Salmon arm. For 
 fifty miles the line v.intls in and out the bending shores, 
 while geese and ducks fly over tho waters and light and 
 shadow i)lay upon the opposite banks. This lake with 
 its bordering sIoihss gives a tine reminder of Scottish

 too steep to i)erinit of much habitation. A light bridge 
 deep down in the canon, thrown across the Thonjjwon 
 river where scneral roads come together out of the 
 mountains, gives a name to the station of >Spcnce'8

 ther into the mountains the gorge becomes deeper and 
 narrower and the scenery oven more grand. Itie hills 
 are denuded of trees, but some shrub-timber grows in 
 sheltered parts of the valleys. Tlio river becomes a wild 
 torrent. The railway has a diffictilt route, is laid high

 9.n0piii i at the southern extremity of Vancouver island. It has 
 a lovely site, and its mild climate is healthful. English 
 people and manners predominate, in contrast with 
 " Western " abruptness, Chinese picturesqueness and 
 Indian sgualor. At Esquimault harbor (2 m.), an Im- 
 perial naval station, a fleet rendezvous. This station, 
 Beacon Hill park, overlooking the straits of Fuca and 
 the Olympic mts., and many fine drives make the place 
 
 one of the most interesting in C'anada. Victoria does 
 
 a large business in naval supplies, general merchandise, 
 fish, coal and timber. A railway extends thence to 
 the coal and farming districts near Nanaimo on tht» 
 western coast of the island.

 Steamships on the Pacific Ocean 
 
 St(Hmis1iip.s of llio Cunadian I'lu-ifK! lino, depart every three weeks for 
 laiian and China, according to the apixuided tahlo. Tlieso are fast 
 steamers heretofore in the service of the Cunard Hne. Their route is 
 shorter hy SOO miles than the steamers from San Francisco. The 
 trip will require only 12 to 1") days to Yokohama, and 17 to 20 days to 
 Hong Kong. At Yoktihania, connection is made for all other ports in 
 .lapan, eastern China and Corea; and at Hong Kong for Sydney, Mel- 
 l)ourne, Auckland, Levuka, Batavia, Caloitta and the East Indies, and 
 
 Australasia generally. In addition to the Japan line an extensive 
 
 coast-service has been provided. At Victoria, where daily connection is 
 made hy prompt steamboats and railroads for all the sea}X)rt8, towns and 
 farming districts in Washington Terr, and Oregon, U. S. A. Once a week, 
 or oftener, steamers depart from Vancouver or Victoria to San Francisco, 
 where connection is made for the Sandwich Island and Australia, 
 southern California, Mexico and South America. Once a fortnight, a 
 steamer leaves Vancouver for Alaska, traversing a region of magnificent 
 scenery. Tiie course is wholly witliin narrow and intricate, but deep and 
 safe, channels, atibrding a constant succopsiou of magnificent scenery.

 This is the place where the Rice-lake canoe was invented,

 StatioiiH for tl»p quieter landscajxi and

 richly cultivated grain and fruit pro- 
 ducing region. At jtf?/r</t', L. Scugog 
 is reaclie<l, and the Whitby and Pt. 
 Perry Ry., is crossed. Glimpses of 
 Lake Ontario are caught southward. 
 Scotch is the predominating nation- 
 ality in this section. 
 
 Convergence of Canadian Pacific lines 
 from Ottawa and from St. Tiiomas, with Toronto Urev iS: 
 Bruce brunch to Owen Sound, llefrenhments. 
 
 Parkdale— Suburb of Toronto. Here tlie Canadian Pacific, 
 Urand Trunk, and Nortliern & Northwestern raihvay.s 
 enter the -ity, crossing upon the bridge, at Queen st., 
 the great east and west artery of Toronto and suburbs. 
 
 Toronto— Union Station. 
 
 Toronto— Pop. (with sul>urbs) 110,000. This point was one 
 of the earliest FnMHih fortifications against the Indians, 
 and afterwards a trading post and naval station of im- 
 portanccao the English. It is tlie capital of Ontario, 
 Its p(!Oi)le arc almost wholly English-speaking, and it is 
 mai n ly devoted to manufacturi ng and me rcanti le pu rsu i ts. 
 Many railways centre here, and its lake commerce is 
 considerable. A line of boats makes two trips a day to 
 Niagara Falls, and other linos daily trips east and west, 
 down thi! St. Lawrence and to the up{)er lakes. In addi- 
 tion to fornnng the central jxtint for the various Ontario 
 lines of the Canadian Pacific, Toronto is reached l)y the 
 Grand Trunk Ry.,an(l is connected by the Northern and 
 Northwestern Railway with the agricultural and luke 
 regions of northern Ontario, reaching the Caiuidian Paci- 
 fic at North Bay. The city is laid out in streets crossing 
 at right angles; is excellently built; and jjossesses many 
 mteresting features to the tourist. It considers itself the 
 most enterprising community in eastern Canada, but is 
 not wholly given over to commercial ambition. The

 Owen Sound— The course of tbe departing steamer is laid 
 down Georgian bay, witb tbe wo(xled shores of Indian 
 
 g^ninsula on tbe left, and many pretty islands in view . 
 uring the night tbe steamer passes out into L- Huron, 
 and by morning approaches Garden JRmr, an Indian 
 reservation and small settlement at one of the debouches 
 of St Mary's river, whicb drains tbe overflow of lakes 
 Michigan and Superior into L. Huron. Up this 
 narrow, forest-bordered and charming water-defile, tbi; 
 steamer pursues a devious way for several hours until 
 debarred by the rapids of St. Mary, where it makes its 
 only stop between Owen Sound and Port Artbur.

 i'lvery appliance of proven value, «'alcnlated to secure safety, has 
 II adopted on this line without re<,'anl to cost. These are too nunier- 
 is to mention, but they include an elaltorute guard system at all bridges, 
 M)k(>'s patent safety switch at all turn-outs from the main track — the 
 ily safety switch in use in Canada, and the only one known that will 
 ith certainty |)revent derailment from a iiii8{tlaced switch. Kspecial 
 lie has been taken to make the heating apparatus on trains entirely safe, 
 id the oil used in lighting the cars is manufactured expressly for the 
 impany, and is safer even than candles, while it affords a most brilliant 
 -dit.

 T\w line is P(|uipped with the lines t Passenger, Sleeping and Parlor 
 IS in the world. The wheels used under all the passenger rolling stock 
 re of Krupp steel, 40 inches in diameter, not one of which has ever failed; 
 e axles are of steel, and of the full size of the iron axles used on other 
 lies. The car boxes are strongly framed to meet any contingency, and 
 e wider and higher than those of any other railway- Both first and 
 Bcond (;lass cars are designed to secure nniforni warmth, combined with 
 prfect ventilation, in winter, and an abundance of cool air, with freedom 
 urn dust, in summer; and the cars of no other line can compare with
