 EASTERN DIVISION. 
 
 Montreal, Aiigust i^th, 1882. 
 
 To Henbers of the Aierican Association for the Almcesie&. of Science 
 
 In Convention at Montreal. 
 
 We extend to you a cordial invitation to participate in a free 
 excursion over the line of our road, from Montreal to Ottawa and 
 return, on Saturday August 26th, 1882, which we will be pleased to 
 have you accept, as we consider your visit to the Dorninion incom- 
 plete without a view of its capital. 
 
 Our line from Montreal to Ottawa runs through an old-settled 
 country, very rich as an agricultural district. We have a perfect road- 
 bed, steel rails, iron bridges, elegant coaches, quick time and a con- 
 stantly changing panorama of lake, river and mountain scenery. Our 
 line is well called " the great scenic route of Canada," for as the train 
 moves swiftly on, we find ourselves skimming along the banks of the 
 Ottawa river, many parts ^f which have been rendered romantic by 
 the residence and songs of the poet Tom Moore. Again we are carried 
 from the river to the fool of dark old mountains which frown down 
 from their lofty heights at the screech of the engine whistle, which 
 echoes a hundred times through their pine forests, ravines and 
 gorges. In a few minutes we are out again in the open country with 
 distant views of the Laurentide range of mountains— often times 
 called the Catskills of Canada — then back again to the Ottawa, 
 studded with its numerous islands, giving it the appearance of an 
 enchanted lake ; over noisy brooks and wild water-falls whose beauty 
 can be seen from the car windows, as the train passes over the bridges 
 that span their streams which rush on to the Ottawa, past the inex- 
 haustible beds of phosphate, in full view of the Gatineau mountains, 
 and before reaching Oitawa we pass in close proximity to tue xxinS 
 of Hull. 
 
From Calumet, midway between Montreal and Ottawa, the 
 celebrated Caledonia Springs— whose waters are noted for their 
 medicinal properties and wonderful curative powers — are easily 
 accessible by ferry and stage from the station. Entering Ottawa we 
 cross on the new and elegant iron bridge spanning the river at that 
 point. The City is full of interest to tourists, pleasure seekers and 
 sight seers. The public buildings here erected by the Government 
 for the use of ;he Dominion Parliament, and the different department 
 offices of the General Government, reflect great credit both upon a 
 Government liberal enough to provide for their erection and the 
 architect capable of designing such models of beauty. The buildings 
 are located upon a bluff overlooking the Ottawa river and its valley, 
 and from this spot may be seen one of the finest views in Canada. 
 The library — one of the largest, most interesting and valuable in the 
 world, — contains over 1 00,000 volumes. It is in a large building of 
 elegant design and finish, which is devoted to its exclusive use. 
 
 Rideau Hall, the residence of His Excellency the Governor- 
 General and H. R. H. the Princess Louise, is interesting to tourists, 
 and all are allowed to visit the beautiful grounds during the summer 
 season. 
 
 The scenery in and around Ottawa will be found grand and 
 impressive. One of the principal attractions is the Chaudiere Falls, 
 which are two hundred feet wide and forty deep, and next to Niagara 
 are not excelled in importance, beauty and grandeur by any in this 
 country. On the northern side the Little Chaudiere Falls afte . .heir 
 leap go into a subterranean passage and are found again at a place 
 called the " Ketdes." half a mile lower down. Below the falls the 
 river is spanned by a suspension bridge, from which an excellent 
 view of them is to be had. 
 
 Ottawa, owing to its great natural water-power, and the unli- 
 mited supply of timber along the Ottawa river, is one of the greatest 
 lumber-markets in the world. Millions of logs are floated down 
 the upper Ottawa river, and here converted into lumber ready for 
 shipment The immense saw-mills at work day and night, and the 
 vast piU"^- of lumber stretching as far as the eye can reach, will give 
 the visitor an idea of the enormous amount of this traffic. 
 
The Rideau Canal, running fronn the St. Lawrence River at 
 Kingston, joins the Ottawa River at Ottawa, the descent being made 
 by a series of eight massive stone locks. The military bridges, 
 constructed of stone and iron, are splendid specimens of engineer- 
 ing skill. 
 
 The population of the City is about 40,000, not including the 
 city of Hull on the opposite aide of the river. Located as it is away 
 from the border, Ottawa retains its national characteristics to a 
 greater extent than the other principal Canadian cities, except 
 Quebec, and bears a marked resemblance to some of the older 
 European towns. French and English are spoken with equal fluency 
 by many of the inhabitants. 
 
 The excursionists will leave Montreal on Saturday (Hochelaga 
 Depot) at 7.30 a. m., (Mile End) 7.40 a. m., reaching Ottawa at 
 mid-day. Returning they will have the option of spending Sunday 
 in the Capital, leaving there Monday at 8 a. m., reaching Mont- 
 real at noon, or by leaving Ottawa Saturday evening about 6.00 
 reach Montreal about 10.30 p. m. 
 
 As it will be necessary for us to know the number that will 
 participate in the excursion, in order to provide the necessary 
 accommodation, members accepting will please inform Prof. Bovey 
 on receipt of this, furnishing him with their names and names of 
 members of their families who will accompany them. 
 
 Prof Bovey will be furnished with tickets for the occasion, and 
 he will deliver them on Thursday August 24th, upon application of 
 those members whose names have been previously furnished him. 
 Very respectfully yours.
