THE Quebec terminus of this railway is within a block of the Canadian Pacific, Great Northern, and Quebec & Lake St. John railways, and is about ten minutes' walk from the ferries connecting with the Grand Tr ink. Intercolonial, and Quebec Central railways, and pas- sengers arriving by the latter three railways, can reach the St. An.ie Railway by taking the electric car at the ferry, which runs directly past the station. For pilgrimages, special arrangements are generally made, whereby pilgrims arriving by the trains of the first two mentioned railways are conveyed to St. Anne without changing cars, and in the case of the last three mentioned railways trains run alongside of the steamboat landing. The trains are run principally for the accommodation of the pilgrims, and the various time-tables are arranged with this end in view, the hours of arrval and departure being so fixed that the pilgrim has ample time for the performance of the devotions to the good St. Anne, and return to the city in time to catch either train or boat for home. This saves carriage hire and hotel expenses. For the accommodation of tourists and others, large and commodious electric cars run at frequent intervals between Quebec and all points on the railway. It is claimed that these electric cars run at a greater rate of speed than any other electric railway service. It is difficult to describe in words the dainty beauty of the scenery along the route of the St. Anne Railway. It is one of the richest spots in natural picturesqueness in Canada, and has been the cradle of the Canadian people, besides being the scene of many historical events. The route from Quebec to St. Anne may be compared to a splendid panorama. There are shady woodlands and green pastures, undulated hills and sparkling rivers, w'.ose banks are lined with pretty villages, the tinned spires of the parish churches rising above the rest of the houses, spark- ling in the sun. The falls of Montmorency river add a touch of grandeur to the scene. On one side of the river, to the left, we have La Canardiere, Charlesbourg, Beauport, L'Auge Gardien, Chateau Richer, and finally St. Anne de Beaupre ; while on the other are the city and harbor of Quebec, Ldvis, St. Josepl^and the Isle of Orleans. After the train leaves the Quebec station it crosses the St. Charles river over a cj^gnificent swing bridge. The first stop is at the little village of Hedleyville. About a mile up the St. Charles stands the cross erected by the " Cercle catholique de Quebec, " in 1889, on the spot where Jacques Cartier and the crews of his three vessels, w The Quebec Railway, I/ight & Power Co. "La Grande Hermine," "La Petite Hermine" and "L'Eme- rillon," spent the winter in 1539. Tc the right of La Canardi^re is Maizerets, a large farm belonging to the Quebec Seminary, nnd where the students of this institution go to enjoy their weekly holiday. Maize- rets was established over two hundred years ago. To the left is the immense establishment of the Beauport Lunatic Asylum, which can accommodate over a thousand patients. A little further on can be seen the iron temper- ance cross erected by the apostate priest, the Rev. Father Chiniquy, then cur^ of the parish of Beauport. Beauport station is situated in the district called Cote des Peres, in memory of the Jesuit fathers, who formerly owned a large tract of knd called St. Ignatius Farm, and which now belongs to the Quebec Seminary. The large ruin at the side of the station is that of a distillery destroyed by fire many years ago. At Beauport is to be seen the ruins of the old manor house where, in 1759, General Montcalm had his head- quarters. This mt .or seat was granted to Robert GiiTard on December 31st, 1634, who, with Jean Guion and Zacharie Cloustier, came from Mortagne, in France, the year previous. During the siege of Quebec, in 1759, the district between the Beauport river and the Montmorency was covered by a double line of forts and redoubts, and was defended by an army of nearly fourteen thousand men. Some mounds that are still to be seen on the beach mark the position of some of the redoubts. From the tower of the Beauport church, also, Vaudreuil saw, one dark night in June, the abortive attempt of his fire- ships against the English fleet anchored at the entrance of the North Channel, These fireships, which 3st the French over a million, did no damage to the English, as the sailors, swarming out in their boats, recklessly took them in tow and stranded them on the Isle of Orleans, where they quietly burned away. The village of Montmorency is the home of the Quebec Railway, Light & Power Company, the Montmorency Cotton Mill's Company, and the Riverside Manufacturing Company. Here is constructed the power-house of the Quebec Railway, Light & Power Company, who, in addition to supplying power to the mills above mentioned, supply power to their railway system in the city of Quebec and suburbs, as well as light and power to private citizens in the city of Quebec and district. The power is developed from the Montmorency Falls, at one hundred and eighty-five feet of head, and it is claimed that the water-wheels dejjploping this power are the most modern and most efficient wheels on the continent. The Montmorency River sepajsites the parishes of Beau- port and L'Ange-Gardien, and is crossed by the railway within two hundred yards of the great falls, where the river, after fretting itself over a number of small cascades, makes a sheer plunge, a mass of snow foam, in mad, headlong rush, Quebec and the Montmorency Palls Montmorency Falls, The Quebec Railway, I/ight & Power Co. down the precipice of two hundrecl and fifty feet. From the top of the dam, which can be seen, to the foot of the falls, is two hundred and seventy-four feet, or one hundred and fifty feet higher than Niagara. On arriving at the I'alls Station the tourist lias only a step to take to reach the base of the elevator, which is two hundred and seventy-six feet high — a steel structure, and perfectly safe. The trip, which occupies about one and a half minutes in duration, affords, from the observation-car, a fine view of the Montmorency Falls and picturesque scenery, which no one should miss. The cost of the journey from Quebec to Montmorency and return, by the cars, including the elevator ride, is thirty cents. On reaching the top, Kent House comes into full view. This large house, at the head of the falls, was originally built by General Haldimand about 1791, and afterwards be- came the residence, while in Quebec, of the Duke of Kent, father of 'the late Queen Victoria and commander-in-chief of the British forces in Canada. This building has now been converted into a first-class hotel, but, with the exception of modern sanitary arrangements, practically remains in the same condition as when occupied by His Koyal Highness the Duke of Kent. T'le outlook from the grounds surrounding and belong- ing to the hotel is very grand and imposing ; the whole sur- rounding country, in full and commanding sight, appearing in panoramic order. It was on the heights and grounds surrounding this hotel, mo-e especially to the ea&t side of the river, thfxt General Wolfe's in-ading army had their encampment during the siege of Quebec in 1759; General Montcalm and the French army being camped on the west or Kent House side of the rivet. Some of the remains of the various entrenchments thrown up can still be seen, and numerous relics of this memorable siege, in the shape of old guns, cannon balls, chained shot, etc., can be seen by visitors. From the wide veranda that extends about the Kent House on three sides, an extended view, as far as the range of the White Mountains that mark their sharp and uneven outline along the sky, can be obtained. This view is not surpassed, if equalled, by any other in this country, a- 1 it is unequalled by any in Europe, with £he possible exception of Naplef. from the bay, and Constantinople. The historic associations and the charming view, by day and by the light of the full moon at night, make the Kent House and grounds an ideal place, an inspiration for the student and an enchant- ment for the poet and the artist. No wonder thousands of tourists visit this place so famous in history and in beauty of situation. The Kent House grounds, which are situated on the west side, have been greatly improved, and work is still going on to n:ake them one of the finest breathing-spots in all Canada, if not in the world. From them a splendid view may be had Quebec Hnd the Montmorency Palls of the cataract. Here may be seen large moose, male aad female, which are rej^arded as vigorous specimens— the best known to be held in captivity ; they are so tame that they will eat sprnce-boughs from the hands of the visitor. These are the property of the enterprising firm of furriers, Messrs. Holt, Renfrew & Co., of Quebec. The bears, which also form part of the menagerie, are veiy friendly, and will accept offerings of sugar and other dainties from the guests of the hotel. There are also the lynx, the fox and the beaver, and other animals peculiar to Canada, to be seen on these grounds. The Zoo is free to visitois. THE UEAVER FAMILY During the past year many new attractions have been added to the Duke of Kent grounds and the Holt-Renfrew collection of Cana- dian animals. The "NBMi-^fcfcJAJ!*" ' ^? i^r latest addition to the latter is a beaver family, which is given eve- ry opportunity to enjoy its freedom in an enclosed tract of land, with a pretty brook run- ning through it. The latter enables the beavers to per- form their wonder- ful work and pursue the natural evolu- tionsforwhich they are noted. The Pro- vincial Govern- ment has protected the beaver for the past several years, "^"^^ Beaver Family, and will continue to do so until 1905. The result of this protection has been so successful that almost every lake iu the Northern wilds, and especially in the N. lional Park, is now overrun with these animals. The beavers are very interesting to behold in their work of building huts and gathering food, in the form of poplar and cherry branches. A single beaver generally, if not always, cuts the tree, and when it comes down the whole family turn to and have a regular frolic with the bark auv . branches. This work may be seen going on at any time among the beaver family in their snug quarters on the Duke of Kent grounds. He is a very good, clean workman in masonry, but is far easier to trap than a fox or a fisher. They are also very fond of their playground on land, and 6 The Quebec Railway, Wght & Power Co. at times the older ones can be seen taking the young out on it to tefi^h them how to gather wocl and build huts. The beaver and all his ways may be studied for hours with the greatest of interest by visitors. The vistB is magnificent and soul-inspiring. The amuse- ment loving public, being well looked after by the far-seeing management, will find near at hnnd well-kept cricket and polo grounds, as well as attractive playgrounds for the chil- «lren, whose interests and enjoyment are never neglected. Good trout-fishing in 5?ason may be had, and daily trips for six miles are accessible to all visitors. In addition to the above the Kent House proprietors have recently acquired from the local Government one of the most valuable hunting and fishing tracts in the centre of ihe National Park and adjoining both sides of the famous Snow Lake. It ia the intention of the Company to form a fishing and hunting club to further protect these valuable limits, measuring over seventy-five square miles. An excellent roadway will be built from the Kent House, going north, through the magnificent Laurentian mountains and along the banks of the Mont- morency river, passing on the way many excellent fish- ing spots in the rivers and lakes. The distance between th Kent House and the limits vill be about fifty miles, along which will be a num- ber of camp-houses v/ell equipped for the accommo- dation of sportsmen. Fishing guides will always be on hand to take parties for a trip through the northern country. The limits obtained from the Governtrent have been protected for the past five years and abound with caribou, deer and moose. The hunting season for this district opens in September and closes in February. The Kent House being open all the year round, affords sportsmen exceptional opportunities for fishing and hunting in summer or winter. The woods are well supplied with partridge, woodcock, and other such game. \bout half a mile from Kent House are the famous Natural Steps and Fairy 5 er, without seeing which the visit to this delightful spot must loose much of its romantic charm. Here picnics in summer are often held, and arrange- ments can easily be made for camping parties in and about the Natural Steps, and in such close proximity to the hotel that meals may be taken there at any hour in the day. The steps themselves must be seen to be fully appreciated. They are a succession of rocky ledges — almost a geological wonder — which seem to have been cut out of the solid rock ages and ages ago, between which the river sweeps along. Qncbec and the Montmi.. j cy ?all» " frint,ed," as Miss Agnes Maule Machar, of Kingston, says, "by a fragrant wood of low spruce and h'^'^ilock, soon to btawi and iwm ovr the b»-own-gray rocks in tiny cascades, before its final nlunje." It is an Au Sable Chasr-, a Wat- kin's Glen a mountain gorge or cafion, all in one. No traveller to Qiieboc should fail to visit iiiis attractive place and take a canoe r'de through this remarkable geological formation. The Falls of Montmorency, which have so often inspired the pen of the poet and historian, as well as the pencil of the artist, are rs grand in summer as they are in winter. In the latter season they attract visitors to Quebec, who make sliding and tobogganing parties a matter of frequent occur- rence. A cone is gradually formed by the freezing sprAy, until it attains a considerable heigh* 'id though the sport is often dan- gerous, very few accidents have happened. In the summer the falls achieve their grand- est character, flowing' as they do with a loud roar over two hundred and fiity feet of solid rock, foaming ar "" fretiing their way to the river beneath. The sight is an awe-inspiring one, and once seen can never be forgot- ten. Two massive stoi'e pillars stand like sentinels on either bank at the head of the cataract, sad meniorials of a dreadful tragedy which occurred over half a century and more ago. A suspension bridge, too lightly con- structed, fell away from .3 mfxjrings while a habifant and his wife were cross- ing it in their market-cart on the way to town. They were dashed over the falls, never to be seen again. The bridge was never rebuilt, but the piers were allowed to remain as silent monuments of the sad accident. On the east side is situated the expansive Montmorencj- Park, rich in natural scenery and gorgeous in color at the different seasons of the year. In summer and in the fall the foliage is particularly fine, and one gets a clear and uninter- rupted view of the surrounding parishes, which brings to the eye all that is picturesque and beautiful in rugged nature. In this spacious park the visitor will rind endless resources of amusement. A commodious dancing pavilion has been erected and prepared especially for the accommodation of sooieties and large or small parties of persons desiring a pleasant outinp- on a fine afternoon and evening. Play- grounds, swings and other means of recreation for picnickers and the general public have been put up. The grove of spruce find pine is one of the loveliest spots on earth — a delightful strolling-ground, a place of resort, the beauties of which cannot be over^praised or over-estimated. The walks, 8 The Quebec Railway, I/ight & Power Co. Kent House, Montmorency Fails. which are well laid out, add act a little to the attractiveness of the park. The Kent House, Montmorency Falls, is a first-class hotel and with its spacious grounds and cottage accom- modation adjoining, is run in connection with, and owned by, the railway company.

The names of the five parishes of the Cote de Beaupr^ — L'Ange Gardien, Chateau Richer, St. Anne de Beaupr^, St. Joachim and St. Fer^ol— tell you at once you are in a land with a religion, a history and a romance. L'Ange Gardien lies just below the falls of Mortmorency. The placid beauty of the place makes the "Guardian Angel" a most appropriate name. This spot has not always had such peaceful associations.

There is little trace of the devastation now, except in the stories that old habitants have heard their elders tell. Chateau Richer, which in natural beauty equals L'Ange Gardien, is the next parish to the eastward. It gets its name ■I Winter Sliding in the Grounds of Kent House, from an old Indian trader whose chateau near the river is now but a small heap of ruins almost hid in the undergrowth. Next, and most important to the pious pilgrim, comes the pretty village of St. Anne de Beaupr^, containing the shrine of the mother of the Blessed Virgin, which is situated twenty-one miles below the ancient city of Quebec, on the banks of the noble St. Lawrence. The shrine of St. Anne has been a point of pious pilgrim- age ever since the first establishment of Canada, and the means of access at last proving insufficient for the number of pilgrims yearly making the journey, the railway was built expiessiy lot the purpose of providing less tiresome, less ex- pensive and more rapid means of visiting this sacred place. The railway was built in 1889, with the approbation of His Eminence the late Cardinal Tascnereau and the Bishops lo The Quebec Railway, I/ight & Power Co. of the Province of Quebec, and at its inauguration, August 15, 1889, was solemnly blessed by the prince of the Church, in the presence of attending clergy and a large concourse of people.

The Shrine of St. Anne de Bcauprc ST. ANNE Christian tradition has handed down to us but few details with regard to St. Anne. Both Nazareth and the little town of Sephoris, at the foot of Mount Carmel, claim the honor of having been her blessed dwelling-place. St. Anne's sisters were the mothers of several amongst the Apostles and of St. Elizabeth, the mother of St. John the Baptist. Anne espoused Jo-Achim or Eli-Achim. In the Gospel according to St. Luke, Joachim is mentioned, under the abbreviated name of Eli, as father-in-law of St. Joseph. The only but glorious offspring of this marriage was the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Christ. St. Anne, after her holy death, was buried near Jerusalem ; but later on her sacred remains were deposited in the church of the Sepulchre of Our Lady, in the valley of Jehosaphat. During the reign of the Roman Emperor Trajan, in the first century of Christendom, the venerable body of St. Anne, or rather the greater portion of it, was brought over to the town of Apt, in the diocese of Avignon, France, where it is still held in deep veneration. Concerning the removal of Ihest: piccious remains it is reported that one day a mysterious bark was seen to ap- proach the shores of France. It had neither sail nor rudder, but God was its pilot. Never had the ocean borne a greater wh vio ace of ma I St. Anne de Beaupre II Montmorency Falls in Winter. treasure, for in this bark was St. Lazarus, with his two pious sisters, St. Mary Magdalene and St. Martha, together with several other saintly women. They were fleeing from Pales- tine, their country, carrying with them a number of precious relics, the most precious among them being the hallowed body rf St. Anne. This treasure was placed in the hands of St. Auspicius, the first bishop of Apt, BEAUPRE A popular tradition relates that some Breton mariners, whilst navigating the St. Lawrence, were overtaken by a violent storm. In their youth and manhood they had been accustomed to have recourse to the well-beloved patroness of their own beloved Brittany, and never had St. Anne re- mained deaf to their prayers. They solemnly vowed that if Old Chapel of St. Anne de Beaupr6. 12 The Quebec Railway, I/igbt & Power Co. the saint would save them from shipwreck and death they would build her a sanctuary on the very spot where they should happen to land. Their prayers were heard. Whsn the morning dawned those brave men touched the shore on the north bank of the river, at a place seven leagues north- I^a Scala Sauta, St. Anue de Beaupr^, east of Quebec, at that time known as Petit Cap. True to their vow, they raised a little wooden chapel which was to become famous throughout America. Even though the existence of this first chapel should not be an historical fact beyond dispute, as some contend, there are, nevertheless, documents, reliable and certain, that go to Ml ■I St. inne de Beaupre 13 ley ley i3n on th- M( i to 3 to not lere a to prove that the origin of Beaupre dates back almost to the earliest times of the colonization of Canada. In 1645 we meet with the first missionary priest in Petit Cap, M. de Saint-Sauveur, of Quebec. After him came the Jesuits; Father Vimont in 1646, and Father de Quen in 1647 and 1648. In 1650 were given by the Government the first grants of land to the colonists of Beaupr^. Father Andrew Richard, a Jesuit, came on mission to the place in 1657, and on the 2»th day of July there baptized Claude Pelletier, who afterwards became a Franciscan lay-brother under the name of Brother Didsce. This holy friar, whose cause has been introduced at Rome, is the first Canadian who died in the odor of sanctity. Up to this time the missionaries who visited Petit Cap had exercised the holy ministry either in the little chapel of the Breton sailors, if it existed, or else in private houses. But in March, 1658, M. de Queylus, a Sulpician, parish priest of Quebec, deputed M. Vignal to go and bless the foundation of a new church. He was accompanied by M. d'Ailleboust, the governor of New France, who had consented to lay the corner-stone. Canada on that day began her first sanctuary in honor of St. Anne. At this period there were but ten churches in all Canada. Tadousac, the first settlement of the country, possessed a pretty little stone church, which the Jesuits had built for their Montagnais neophytes, who on returning from their hunting expeditions resorted thither in large numbers during the summer season, to receive the sacraments and listen to the word of God. There was no church at all on the Isle of Orleans, nor anywhere on the south shore of the St. Lawrence ; but at Chateau Richer there was a church built of stone, at the edge of the river. At Montreal they had but a poor wooden chapel belonging to the H6tel-Dieu. Three Rivers had its parish church, built of wood, which the Jesuits had just built and dedicated to the Immaculate Con- ception. In Quebec there was a church at Silleiy, a church built by the Jesuits near their residence, and on the site now occupied by the parish of St. John the Baptist, on the St. Genevieve hill, there was a little wooden chapel whijh was for a very long time served by M. de Saint-Sauveur. In Quebec itself there were four churches, built of stone— the parish church and those of the Jesuits, the Ursulines and the H6tel-Dieu. The chapel then commenced at "the good St. Anne " by M. de Queylus was the eleventh throughout the whole colony of Canada ; but the village of Beaupr^ was the sixth establishment which had been founded since the dis- covery of the country. These establishments come in the following order : Tadousac, Quebec, Montreal, Three Rivers, Chateau Richer, St. Anne de Beaupr^. FIRST MIRACLES " As God has ever selected for his wondrous works some churches among others, so He seems, in our day, to have A S a) U a •o V e a Jl o n St. Anne de Beaupre 15 p CO V •o c < to o 8 chosen the church of St. Anne, as is clearly shown by the many miracles which have taken place there for the past years. ' ' Thus it is said that M. Thomas Morel, missionary priest, begins his account of what occurred at Beaupr^ from 1661 to 1667 ; and he continues : " I do this " {i.e., to relate to the first miracles) "all the more willingly that, having been an eye-witness, or else well informed, I can speak of them with certainty." Mgr. de Laval, the then bishop, in approving of this account, was pleased to add : "All this is sincerely true, and we have made of these facts so careful an examination, that they may be made known to the whole world. 25th Tune, 1680. Francis, first bishop of Quebec." (See Relations des Jhuites.) , It was Louis Guimont, a farmer of Petit Cap, who first had the happiness to experience the merciful effects of the goodness and the powers of St. Anne. Afflicted with rheu- matism, he went, through devotion, to place some stones in the foundation of the new church, the construction of which was just commencing, and he found himself suddenly cured. In 1662 another and more striking cure took place. Marie Esther Ramage, wife of Elie Godin, also of Petit Cap, was stricken with an infirmity which for eighti^en months kept the poor invalid so bent and doubled up as to render her unable to straighten herself in the least. She had given up all hope of being cured by human means, but remember- ing what her husband had related about the instantaneous cure of Louis Guimont, of which he had been an eye-witness, she began to invoke St. Anne in order to obtain the same favor. At this very moment she was able to stand erect and to walk as well as before her infirmity. Again, in 1662, Nicholas Drouin, of Chateau Richer, was cured of epilepsy. On account of the frequent attacks of this dreadful malady, he was often in danger of death. He made a novena in honor of St. Anne, and was completely restored to health. In 1667, cure of Jean Prad^s, a French soldier of the gar- rison of Quebec. For six months one of his legs had been completely paralyzed. He repaired to St. Anne's, there to make a novena. On the fifth day he felt that he could walk as easily as if he had never had the least trouble, to the great admiration, says the account, of those who, knowing his condition, believed that it would be as easy to raise the dead to life as to effect this cure. Mr. Morel concludes his pious manuscript with these beautiful words; "Still of more moment than all these cures, are the graces which God has given, and continues to give every day, through the intercession of good St. Anne, performed the pastoral functions in this church for five or six years, I have known many who have received this happiness. These favors however take place between God i6 The Quebec Railway, I^'ight & Power Co. and the soul, and can only be known in eternity. From such happy beginnings we foster the well-founded hope that the Almighty, through the intercession of St. Anne, will from this place bestow manifold blessings upon our country. May God grant that our sins never cause this heavenly source to stop." Interior of tLe Church, St. Anne de Beaupr6. EARLY CELEBRITY We have already cited the weighty testimony of M. Morel and Monseigneur de Laval, in support of the wonders that took place at Beaupr^ ; let us further hear.that of the Vener- able Mary of the Incarnation, foundress of the Ursulines of Quebec. In 1665, in a letter to her son, she writes these words: "Seven leagues from here (Quebec), there is a church dedicated to St. Antie, in which Our Lord vouch- safes to work great prodigies at the intercession of the holy mother of the Blessed Virgin. There may be seen the para- lytic made to walk, the blind receiving their sight, and St. Anne de Beaupre 17 lat ■ill ■y- ily Orel :hat ler- ines lese is a ich- loly ara- and the sick, no matter what their malady may be, regaining their health." It is not then astounding that Petit Cap should have soon become celebrated. The Journal des Ji: suites relates that on the 30th of March, 1666, the viceroy of the colony, the Marquis de Tracy, went on a pilgrimage to Beaupre, in company with the Governor, where together they made their devotions. During the mass, a col- lection was taken up for the benefit of the church, and realized sixty-eight pounds. On the 17th of August in the same year, the Marquis de Tracy again came thither with the bishop, to enrich the church with a pious ex- voto. Being in danger of perishing by shipwreck, this pious man made a vow, that if Ste. Anne would deliver him, he would make her some valuable offering. In ful- filment of his vow, he came 'that day to offer a painting by the cele- brated artist Lebrun, re- presenting St. Anne with the Blessed Virgin and two pilgrims in prayer. The picture still exists, and can be seen behind the main altar in the church. The first Sunday in Advent, in 1667, Monsei- gneur de Laval ordered a pastoral letter to be read, by which he established the feast of St. Anne as a holiday of obligation throughout the extent of New France, because : " Christian- ity," he says, "has in these countries a particular need of powerful protectors in heaven, and because we witness a general recourse of the faithful to St. Anne in all their needs ; and that it has pleased God for some years past to manifest, by a number of wondrous favors, that this devotion is pleating to Him." About the same time, the Queen of France, Anne of Austria, mother of Louis XIV., was pleased to give the church at Ste. Auue de Beaupre a souvenir of her piety and munificence. She sent thither a superb chasuble, embroid- ered by her own royal hands. Preserved with great care, this distinguished vestment is to this day brought forth for Fragment of a bone of the arm of St. Anne. Entered, according to Act of Parliament oi Canada, in the year 1892. by J. E. LiVERNOls, at the Department of Agriculture. i8 The Quebec Railway, I/ight & Power Co. high ecclesiastical dignitaries who celebrate mass at St. Anne. This chasuble is worked in red, trimmed with gold and silver lace. Besides two paintings by Brother Luc Lefran- 9ois, a Franciscan, and a reliquary of silver given by Mon- seigneur de Laval, we may also mention a crucifix of soiid silver offered in 1706 by the gallant hero d' Iberville. This pious warrior wished thus to manifest his gratitude to St. Anne for the favors which he had received. THE PRESENT CHURCH In 1878, in spite of the great desire to preserve it, the old church which threatened to fall into ruin, was taken down and converted into a chapel on the same spot ; constructed from the same material ; ornamented with the same furni- ture, and surmounted with the old steeple and bell of 1694. This chapel contains, besides the main and side altars of the original church, the old pulpit curiously carved, and many ancient and curious paintings. There a'-e also deposited in the main altar some relics of the martyrs of the first century. By a collective letter of the 12th of May, 1872, His Grace the Archbishop and the bishops of the province of Quebec invited the faithful of all the diocese to contribute by their offerings to the erection of the new sanctuary. The sums received from one end of the country to the other were con- siderable. The church was solemnly blessed, and opened for public worship on the 17th of October, 1876. It was con- secrated with imposing ceremonies on the i6th of May, 1889, by His Eminence Cardinal Taschereau, in the presence of ten bishops and a large number of the clergy. It has been in charge of the Redemptorist Fathers since 1878. The edifice is of Corinthian architecture, and measure.^ two hundred feet in length, with a height of fifty-six feet internally, by one hundred and five feet in breadth. The towers are one hundred and sixty-eight feet in height. In the facade there are three entrance doors flanked by fluted columns with pediments. Over each door is a slab on which are carved the three theological virtues : Faith, Hope and Charity. The whole is surmounted by a colossal statue of St. Anne, carved in wood and copper gilt. This statue is fourteen feet in height, and is of great beauty. The pilgrim who enters for the first time into the church of St. Anne de Beaupre, is immediately impressed with the richness and grandeui of the edifice. To the majestic pro- portions and elegance of the Corinthian architecture, is added the striking effect of the most appropriate decora- tions. The ensemble of the decoration is grand and religious in its character. The most striking objtct on entering the church, is the main altar, a magnificent piece of work in white marble, covered by a canopy also in ni. lud brass, supported by columns. The face of the altar 1 \o exquisite carvings,, one in particular, that of the " Th ^ast Supper," being a master-piece. St. Anne de Beaupre 19 pyramid of Crutches in Die Church of St. Anne de Beaupr6. 30 The Qttebec Railway, I^ight & Power Co. k The three carvings in the panels below the table are representations of the "Three Sacrifices.' The chancel s'alls are handsomely carved, as is also the bishop's throne. The communion rail is in marble, magnificently catv^d, and is said to be more handsome and elaborate than anything of the kind even among the great churches in Europe. The beautiful carved and decorated statue of St. Anne with the Virgin, that stands in the centre of the middle aisle, a few feet from the communion rail, on an elegant polished column of Mexican onyx, comes from Ghent, in Belgium. According to an ancient custom of the Roman pontiffb, in the case of celebrated shrines, this statue was solemnly blessed by His Eminence Cardinal Taschereau, on the 14th of September, 1^87. The floor of tht church is of polished stones of different colors, laid in geometrical design. The large organ, in the rear of the church, is a splendid instru- ment, with sweet and powerful tone. On each side of the entrance door, are large pyramids of crutches and various surgical appliances that have been left by those who have found relief from their sufferings and infirmities through the powerful intercession of good St. Anne. On the 28th of January, 1887, His Hohness Pope Leo XIII. conferred on the church the title of basilica, with all the privileges appertaining thereto. THE RELICS As we have already seen, wonderful curves have been wrought in the sanctuary of Beaupr^ as early as 1662. Pilgrims of all classes went thither in great numbers ; but as yet there was no souvenir of St. Anne to be offered to the veneration ' the faithful. The zeal of Monseigneur de Laval supplied Ibe want. Through bis efforts, a precious relic was obtained from Carcassonne. It 7s a notable frag- ment of a finger bone of St. Anne. It was exposed for the first time on the 5th of March, 1670, and has not ceased since the" L. h-- an object of fervent devotion. The letters attesting rt'i r tlbenticity cat b' seen, hanging in frames, upon th(. AaDs of loe sp.nsty. A second relic has been presented to the church, in 1880, by Rev. Father Charmetant, procurator of the African mis- sions. It is a fragment of rock, extracted from tb com of St. Anne, in Jerusalem. This room, wherein took ^lace the mysteries of the Immaculate Conception and the birth of the Blessed Virgin, is at present the crypt of the basilica of St. Anne, at Jerusalem. A third elic has been given in January iSgr, by the bishop of Ca'-cassonne, France. Finally, a fourth relic was s^tit on the 2fst}i of Tulv 18*^2 the ff^RSt of 5^t. Aims, bv His Holiness Leo XIII., to the famous sanctuary. This relic, a part of the wrist bones of St. Anne, has been exposed in New York. ( 8t. A&ne de Beanpri 91 THE FOUNTAIN OF ST. ANNE We cannot close this sketch without saying a word about the fountain and water of St. Anne. This water conies from I* spring at the foot of the hill, a few steps to the right of the old chapel. Although this spring has always been ktjown to be there, it is only within the last thirty or thirty-five years that the pilgrims begen to make a pious use of the water, ( statue of St. Anne and the Virgin, and Onyx Column, in the Church of St. ALstensorium remained buried for years ; in 1802, it was iploughed up, and is now in the possession of the Catholic .Bishop of Green Bay. No. 7. — 1670. — St. Anne's first Reliquary. The object is both a religious and historical relic. It was in it that was brought in Canada by Venerable Bishop Laval, .isists of a fragment of her bones. But, as this reliquary is rather unhandy for performing ■ the ceremony of private veneration, the relic has been removed and sealed in an- -other one. 28 The Quebec Railway, I/ight & Power Co. No, 8. — 1670. — Silver Chalice. This chalice and the ciborium No. 5 have been daily used at the altar for over two hundred years. Now, if we take into consideration the fact that the priest has to wipe off carefully every drop of wine or water that may be left after using it, we must admit that the silverware of the seven- teenth century was fully equal, in quality and durability, to that of our age. No. 9. — 1700. — Sick-calls Ciborium. Each dying individual in St. Anne's parish, for several generations, has seen this ciborium with the Holy Viaticum carried into his house for his consolation and help, whenever the nature of his sickness allowed sufficient time to do so. In St. Anne's, this ceremony is always performed in a very solemn manner. The priest, vested with the surplice and stole, and preceded by a torch light, hastens to the sick per- son's home, while the tolling of a bell warns people that one of theirs is dying. All the inmates of the >ouse in front of which the priest passes, come out; they kneei on the veranda, and say a short prayer for the spiritual welfare of the patient. No. 10. — 1706. — Massive Silver Altar Crucifix. Given by the illustrious Pierre Le Moyne d' Iberville, the conqueror of Hudson's Bay (1697), the discoverer of the I Miraculous Fainting in the Basilica of St. Anne de Beaupr^.

This instrument is now used only when a Bishop assists at High Mass on his throne ; but until late years, when the parishoners were still in the habit of presenting some bread to be blessed and distributed among those present at the church, it was used on every Sunday and festival day. After the blessing of the bread, it was presented to the giver, with the words : " Peace be unto you." Whence its name.

Those beautiful and rich crowns were specially ordered for the coronation of St. Anne and Child, in the name of His Holiness Pope Pius IX. They are made with the metal and precious stones obtained from all kinds of jewelry pre- sented by the pilgrims, such as bracelets, ear-rings, finger- rings, brooches, badges, chains, lockets, etc., etc. As a rule, when there is a sufficient quantity of these objects to make any liturgical vessel, they are melted together and modeled into a fine ostensorium, chalice, or ciborium, such as are Nos. 22, 23 and 25. No. 21. — 1890. — Ex-voto of the Comte de Paris. This chiselled and embossed silver portrait has been pre- sented to the church by the Comte de Paris as an ex-voto of his pilgrimage to St. Anne de Beaupr^. He is represented under the igure of St. Louis, king of France, putting him- self under the protection of St. Anne. This picture, with its silver-gilt frame, is of a great intrinsic and artistic value.

This painting, from the brush of the famous Lebrun, was given to the church in 1666, by the Viceroy, in fulfilment of a solemn promise made by him when in peril on the sea during his voyage to Canada. The subject is mostly copied from Ruben's " PMucation of the Virgin," which is to be seen in the Antwerp museum. According to the custom of the time, the Marquis and Marquise de Tracy are repre- sented on the same canvas, dressed as pilgrims, paying their homage to the saint. 2. St. Anne and the Blessed Virgin, towards 1677. This picture, as also the following one, was painted by Francois Luc, a Franciscan deacon, and given to the church by MK' de Laval to serve as companions to Lebrun's painting. 3. St. Joachim and the Blessed Virgin, 1677. 4. Votive offering from M"<^ de Becancour, 1689. Some days before her entry into the Ursuline Convent in Quebec, M"^' de Becancour, daughter of the Baron de Port- ueuf, came on a pilgrimage to St. Anne's to implore the assistance of her holy patron in the accomplishment of her pious resolve. It was then that she offered this picture, which represents herself kneeling before St. Anne and the Blessed Virgin. 5. Votive offering from Jean Jung, 1696. Jean Jung, a Quebec merchant, who with his father, Guillaume Jung, a merchant of Bordeaux, France, did a large exchange business, was pursued by three Dutch war- ships. His vessel was on the point of being captured, when a thick fog settled on the river, hiding him from the enemy, so that he was enabled to escape by running his ship into the mouth of the Saguenay. This painting was retouched, in 1826, by Ant. Plamondon, of Quebec. 6. Votive offering from M""^ Riverin, 1703. Denis Riverin wished to establish on the banks of the Magdalen River, at the foot of Mount Notre-Dame, a mixed colony ; that is, one whose inhabitants might spend part of their time in lilling the soil and the rest of the time in fishing. The aitempt failed, however, and M'"« Riverin, taking her husband's troubles to heart, placed herself a„d her children under the protection of St. Anne, offering at the same time this picti.re, in which she is represented with her little family. 7. Votive offering from Louis Prat, 1706. Louis Prat, merchant, shipowner and port-warden, was in QviSijec as earlj" as ijoj. i-roni the year 1706 to 1721 he was the trader who had the most frequent relations with the Fabrique. His brigantine was the "Joybert." The inscrip- tion on the painting teads : "Exvoto. LuDOvic Prat, 1706." St. Anne de Beaupre it 8. Votive offering, ship "Saitite-Anne," 1609. Three persons are seen on this dismasted slip. On the bow, a layman, very probably the commander Edouin. He is kneeling with joined hands and praying fervently. Amid- ships is seen a Franciscan with his hands raised towards heaven. Near the stern a priest is seated, saying the bre- viary. This last must be Father Gaulin himself, who was sent by de Swbercase to carry the information relative to the invasion of Canada by the British from Boston and New York, and who realizes the peril surrounding the bark. The painting bears the inscription in French: "Vow made by the crew of the ' Sainte-Anne,' commanded by M. Kdouin, 1709." 9, The " King's Hero," 17 11.

Votive offering uoni Gabriel Roger, 1717. Gabriel Roger, a Quebec Merchant, with whom the Fa- brique of St. Anne had business relations, had promised this painting on the 6th of February the previous year. 1 1. Votive offering from three survivors of a shipwreck, 1754. On the :7tli of June, 1754, at two o'clock in the morning, a small boat was upset by a wave between Point Levis and Beauport. The five occupants were thrown out and thought that their end was near. Three escaped, however ; they were j. B Auclair, Louis Boursicr and Martha Feuilicteau. Seeing that their escape from death was due to the interces- sion of St, Anne, to whom they offered fervent prayers in their danger, they wished to hand down the history of their accident and safe delivery by this offering. 32 The l^uebec Railway, Wght 8c Power Co. 12.
