Afav u, iSij>t,\ Whether it be from a desire to avoid the possible awkward conscc|iiences of the war, or only to escape the war talk, or for other jiersonal reasons, those residents of the I'liited States who are reported in considerable n.nnber to have taken residences for the snnuner in Montreal and vicinity, have fair reason to conj^ratulate thetnselves on their choice of an abiding place (hirinjj the warm season. Montrealers are them- selves somewhat given to the snnimer resort habit, bnt it is safe saving that, save for the rest from work, they wonld be better off at home. The attractions of a summer resort lie in and all about Montreal. It is a city of trees and parks and pleasant drives, set on an island of orchards and gardens, with a great river along its front, a river of a thousand islands at its back. There is no large city in America where a half or a quarter hour's journey, by road or rail, or steamer, will take resident or visitor through more places of varied, natural beauty. In the early snnuner, orch.ard after orchard, lying along mile after mile of well kej)t road, flashes with the white and pink and purple of thoustuids upon thousands of blossoming apple trees ; and field and by-way are bright with Uie flowers of the hawthorn and chestnut ; the traveller is reminded of the scenes that make Ivngland's among the loveliest of the rural land- scapes on earth. These memories are revived too in the later summer and the fall, when the fruit is formed and reddening, when the fields are green or yellow with growing or rijiening harvests, and where from every elevated roadwaj- the eye looks ADVKKTISlCMJiNTS.

Cbe City of montreal. ONTRIvAL 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 English occupation. Here 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 amid its memorials much which speaks to them of their own country, and many a link that binds them in a friendly bond of union. The accompanying little sketch and illustrations will serve to assist in a tour of inspection of the metropolis of Canada. Montreal is situated upon the south .shore of the i.sland bearing the same name, and at the base of a beautiful eminence known as Mount Royal, from which both the city and island derive their name. Its population is, with suburbs, about three hundred thousand. The island is about thirty miles long and ten broad, and is formed by the river Ottawa debouching into the St. lyawrence at its western and ea.,tern extremities — the former near St. Anne's, the latter at Bout-de-l'I.sle. It is famed for the fertility of its soil, and is frequently called the " Garden of Canada." The site of the city was first visited by Jacques Cartier in 1535, and at that time he found a village of Indians situated near the foot of the mountain. He landed a short distance below the city, at a point siill known by the name of the Indian village, Hochelaga. When he reached the top of the mountain, to which he was guided by the Indian chief Donnacona, he was so struck bj^ the magnifi- cent outlook, that he named it, in honour of his ma.ster, the "Royal Mount." Champlain also vi.sited the .site in 161 1, but the village, with its inhabitants, had been swept away, probablj^ by .some hostile tribe. A few years ago, a large quantity of skeletons and pottery was discovv^red under buildings on the site of this village. The fir.st settlement was made by the French in 1642. In its early history, the city was repeatedly attacked by the Indians, and in 1684 a wooden wall was erected for defence. This was replaced in 1722 by a massive .stone wall with redoubts and bastions. In 1759, when Canada was conquered by the British, Montreal had a population of four thou.sand ADXM'.KTISl'MMNTS.

The streets were narrow and the houses low. vSonie of these buildin«j;s are still standing, a walk through the two or three streets still retaining these primitive buildings and narrow paths strongly reminds one of the quaint old towns of Rouen, Caen, and others in Normandy. At the date named, the town was divided into upper and lower town : the upper part then being the level of the present court house. In the lower town the merchants and men of bus- iness chiefly re- sided, and here also were the place of arms, the royal maga- zines and the Nunnery Hos- pital. The prin- cipal buildings were in the up- per town, such as the palace of the Governor, the houses of the chief offi- cers, the Con- vent of the Rc- collets, the Jes- uit Church and Seminary, the Free School and the Parish Church. In 1775, the city was captured by the American forces under Montgomery. The growth of the city has been exceedingly rapid, and the view, as seen on approach by steamboat, with Mount Royal for a background, covered with beautiful villas, interspersed here and there with tall spires, is majestic, and for beauty almost unrivalled. The river frontage is almost three miles in length, extending from the Victoria Bridge to the village of Hochelaga. For upwards of a Custom House. »< H ADVICRTISICMICNTS. John Henderson & Co.

The view from the steamer can scarce- ly be surpassed, as we sail under the centre tube of the \'ictoria Bridge, and first view the long array of glit- tering spires, the lofty towers of the parish church of Notre-Dame, the well - proport ioned tower of the Cus- toms buildings, and the long unbroken line of cut stone flanking the wharf. At the begiiuiing of the present cen- tury, vessels of more than three hundred tons could not ascend to Mont- real ; its foreign trade was carried on by small brigs and barques, and the freight and passengers were landed upon a low, Bonsecours Church. nuuldy beach.

It is easy to trace the two main divisions of the population of Montreal. Taking St. Lawrence Main street as a dividing line, all that is ea.st of it is French, and nearly all that is west of it is ICnglish-speaking. The two nationalities but slightly overlap this conventional bar- rier, except in a few isolated cases. The extreme eastern por- tion is designated the Quebec suburbs, and there the native people can be studied as easily as in the rural villages. They are an honest, hard-working race. Their thrift is remarkable, and they manage to .subsist on much le.ss than would satisfy the needs of people of some other nationalities. The old folks speak little rr no Rngli.sh, but the rising generation use the two languages fluently, and herein possesses a marked advantage over the h'nglish, Scotch and Irish. Their poor are cared for by the St. Vincent de Paul Association, and the Union St. Jo.seph is devoted to the relief of artisans during life, and of their families after death. There is a great deal of hoarded wealth among the French inhabitants, but, as a rule, they do not invest it freely. The western part of the city is English-speaking. Numerically, the English portion is not so great as the Scotch. In perhaps no section of the colonies, have Englishmen and Scotchmen made more of their opportunities than in Montreal. On Sherbrooke street, and the streets running north- ward therefrom to the mountain, are the chief streets on which are the residences of the merchant princes and railway and .steamship n'agnates. In winter, the equi- pages present a most attractive spectacle. In this respect, only St. Petersburg can claim precedence over Montreal. The southwestern portion of the city is occupied almost exclusively by the Iri.sh. It is called Griffintown. Grif- A Canadian Habitant. l8 Ai>\'i;kTisi:.'\p:\Ts.

Its duties are to watch over the harhor. ".nd ^enerall>' to sujiervise all matters connected with the commerce of the city, other than the collection of custom duties. The Hoard has also care of the channel of the river as far as Quel)ec. The Commission occupies a larj^^e cut stone huildin^ west of vSt. Peter street and next to the examining warehouse. Adjoining the Harbor Commissioners' Huilding is a sub.stantial two- story stone l)uilding owned and occui)ie(l l)y Messrs. H. M: A.

The Inland Revenue Office, on Custom House vSijuare, recently christened Place Royale, was, in old times, the market-i)lace of the town. The Bonsecours Market occu])ies a .s(iuare on the river front, five hundred feet long. It is crowded on the forenoons of market days when the customs of the habitant can be studied to advantage. He has come to the city with his produce, and quiet, patient atul courteous he waits for customers. From the market, go up the lane leading to the old-fa.shioned Bonsecours Church. The relievos on the wall, the altar, the antique pulpit remind one of a seventeenth century parish church in Brittany. We are taken back to the days of Marguerite Bourgeois, who laid the foundation-stone more than two centuries ago. The next street of importance, running parallel with the river, is St. Paul street, which is lined on both sides with sub.stantial, ma.ssive buildings. This .street is the principal .seat of the wholesale trade of the city. A .short distance from thi.s street up St. Nicholas street is the magnificent new Board of Trade Building, in which the Corn Exchange holds its meetings. This fine block fronts on three streets. Notre-Dame street is reached next in order, and, besides being the oldest and longest thoroughfare in the place, contains a number of buildings both hand.some and interesting. At the ea.st end .stands the jail, a solid .stone .structure on the old-fashioned style.

All the municipal offices are in this building. The Recorder's Court and Police Office are in the basement.

The front is dividtd into five com- partments, the wings advancing somewhat less than the centre, so as to give the facade an artistic promi- nence, and to free the building from that monotony which marked the earlier public buildings of the city. These build- ings flank Jacques Cartier Square, which extends to the steamboat landing, and is orna- mented with a statue of Nelson. On the east side of the .square, facing the City Hall, are the old buildings known as the Chateau de Rameza^' (now a historical mu- seum and library), venerable for their historical assc ■ation, erected in 1722, and which in early days .served as a Ooveniment House.

Going westward from this a short distance, the church of Xotre- Danie, facing Place d' Amies Square, whose towers are seen in such bold relief as we approached the city from the water, is reached. This is the largest completed edifice of the kind in America, except the Cathedral of Mexico ; the foundations of it were laid in 1672, and a church, on the present site, completed in 167S. In 1829, it was opened for public worship. The pile was intended to be representative of its namesake, Notre- Dame de Paris. Its towers are two h: !) dred and twenty-sev- en feet in height, and contain a peal of elev- en bells, unrivalled on this continent. The "Gros Bourdon" of the western tower is Old Seminary Buildings. numbered aUlOUg the five heaviest bells in the world. It weighs twent^'-four thousand seven hundred and eighty pounds, is six feet high, and at its mouth measures eight feet seven inches in diameter. The nave of the church, including the .sanctuary, is two hundred and twenty feet in length, nearly eighty feet in height, sixty-nine in width, exclusive of the side ai.sles, which mea.sure twenty-five and a half feet each, and the walls are five feet thick. The church will hold twelve thou.sand, and on extraordinary occa.sions, when chairs are u.sed, fifteen thou.sand persons. In Place d' Amies, immediately opposite the cathedral, stands the monument of Mai.sonneuve, the founder of Montreal, erected by the citizens in 1.S95. On the eastern comer of the stjuare is a tablet reading thus : "In 1675, here lived Daniel de Gre.solon, Sieur Duluth, one of the explorers of the Upper Mi.ssissippi, after whom the cit>' of Duluth was named."

A little further on, McGill .street, a broad thoroughfare extend- ing from the landing place of the upper river steamers to Victoria Square, is reached. A .short di.stance up McGill street, bordering the square, is St. James street, which .starts at the Court House, where it joins Notre-Dame street, and runs westerly parallel with it.

Returning to St. James street, we pass the Place d' Amies framed in, as it were, by the Corinthian portico of the Montreal Bank, the Ionic colonnade of the Imperial Buildings, and the towers of Notre-Dame. On the left hand of the square are lofty sandstone buildings. This row is a pretty piece of street architecture. On the right hand side the Jacques Cartier Bank, and at the corner the peculiar architecture of the New York Life towers up in its handsome dress of brown sandstone.

The arms of the bank, with the motto " Concordia Sains," forms the centre of the group. The .sculpture is in Binny .stone, executed by Mr. John vSteel, R. S. A., Her Majesty's sculptor in Scotland. Montrealers may well be proud of the Bank of Montreal, which is the third largest banking insti- tution in the world, being only exceeded by the Bank of Eng- land and the Bank of France.

The Dominion Square Methodist, at the corner opposite the Windsor Hotel, on Dorchester street, and the American Presbyterian, near Drum- mond street, with Crescent Presbyterian Church, west of Drummond street, are large handsome edifices. The Windsor Hotel, situated at the corner of Dorchester and Peel streets, in point of location, equals any hotel on the continent. It is built upon the healthy upper plateau, facing Dominion Square, the largest square in the city, and occupies an entire block, bounded by Peel, Dorchester, Stanley and Cypress streets. As one draws near the Windsor, its immense proportions are apparent. Its great height and lateral dimensions have pigmied surrounding build- ings ; the Dominion Square Methodist Church and the St. George's Church appearing to dwindle as a compari.son is instituted. The main entrance is on Peel street, which leads directly up to the famous Mount Royal Park. The ladies' entrance opens on Dorchester street, and is protected from the rain and sun by a broad canopy, which stretches to the street. In close proximity to the entrance are the waiting-rooms for guests and the ladies' reception room. It is situated beneath the tower, and commands a view up and down Dorchester street and across Dominion Square. The passenger elevator immediately adjoins. The main entrance leads directly into the grand rotunda, wherein are situated the office proper, the ticket and telegraph offices, and the cigar and book stands. Occupying a position in the open space within the square of buildings, the rotunda has the advantage of a dome roof, and is lit from overhead by large skylights which illuminate the arti.stic frescoing upon the sides and approaches to the dome. Pas- sages lead from the rotunda to the billiard-room, wash-room, boot-room, bar, barber's shop, cafe, tailoring establishment, bicycle livery, and chemist shop. To the left of the main entrance is the gentlemen's waiting room, which is frescoed and furnished in strictly Egyptian style, thus lending to the room a character of its own. The main staircase ascends from the junction of the ladies' entrance hall with the rotunda to the grand promenade, on the second flat, which is one hundred and eighty feet long by thirty wide, passing in front of the drawing-rooms to the dining-room, which is as unique and gorgeous in its decorations and architecture as it is commanding in height and size. It is one hundred and twelve feet long by fiftj'-two feet wide ; the ceiling twenty-seven feet high ; the floor is of marl)le ; the walls are surrounded by fifty-two columns and pilasters — the bases of m I' ) i' 54 ADX'I'.KTISlCAIlvXTS.

Above the jiillars are a serie.« of beautiful landscape views, which entirely encircle the hall ; they comprise .scenes from (ireat Britain, the Continent and tropical climes, and form subject for prolonged study. At the ea.st end is a gallery or band-room, which can be shut off from the hall by .sliding doors. The liall is frequently used for pulilic dinners and other entertainments. Pa.ssing through a door at the west end of the dining hall, the ladies' ordinary or small dining room is reached, small only by comparison, as it is sixty feet long by forty in width. The kitchen, dish-rooms and pantries lie between the dining halls, and are simply and ingeniou.sly arranged. On the east side of the promenade and over Dominion Square are the suite of Grand parlors. Adjoining the main parlors are the bridal chambers and parlors, which have recently been redeco- rated and refurni.shed. The remainder of the hotel proper is given up to bedrooms, en suite with parlors, "^^e Muslc-Hall. Windsor Hotel. etc. , or single rooms. Each room is supplied with hot and cold water, and all the front rooms have modern .sanitary plumbing. The ceilings are lofty, and the heating and ventilation are well provided for. The average size of the front rooms is eighteen feet by fourteen ; of those in rear or facing the central .square, twelve feet by sixteen. The corridors are uniformly twelve feet in width, and are bordered with black walnut. The division walls are all of brick, and the floors are filled, en- suring quiet. One great feature of this hotel is that there are no winding pa.s.sages ; four roomy flights of .stairs, in addition to the elevators, afford ample means of a.scent and descent.

Access can be had to the dome, where a height of one hundred and fifty feet is attained ; the flag-pole which surmounts the dome is forty-seven feet high. The hotel is under the management of Mr. W. S. Weldon, and so successful has it proved, that a new wing of one hundred and thirty-four rooms, fronting on Stanley street, has been added, making the Windsor one of the largest hotels on this continent, and enaliling the management to acconnnodate the con.stantly increasing patronage of the liou.se. A magnificent addition in architectural conformity with the hotel proper has recently been completed, and is without doubt one of the gem halls of the country. It is one hundred and thirty-six feet long, sixty feet wide and sixty feet high, and has accommodation for sixteen hundred .seats. It is a pronounced success as a concert hall, the acoustic properties being con.sidered very fine, and having the highest praise of the leading singers of the world. As a ball-room, it is si. jdy grand, the highly polished floor which reflects back the .soft and plea.sant lights makes it irresi.stible for dancing.

The national game is lacrosse, which is carried to greater perfec- tion here than el.sewhere. The Shamrock Lacrosse Club have recently opened up their beautiful grounds in the north of the city. The athletic club house, behind th-.. mountain, is the winter resort of the snowshoers, who tramp over the snow clad fields and mountain roads by night, to the astonishment of those unaccustomed to the severity of a Canadian winter.

The facilities for in-door bathing in Montreal are probably not excelled in any other city in the world. The Laurentian Baths, situated Cbc Caurcntian Baths. at the corner of Craig and Beaudry streets, is a vast establishment exclusively devoted to bathing in all its forms. There, the largest .swimming bath on this continent is at your disposal. The liig Swim is eight\-five feet long, thirty- five feet wide, and from five and a half to eiglit feet in depth. What makes it unequalled by other baths of the kind is the constant .stream of beautiful pure crystal water flowing continuous- ly through it, direct from the famous Laurentian Spring. The bath is over- hung with gymnas- tic appliances, and the wnter is kept at a uniform tempera- ture of 78° both win- ter and summer. Comfortable dress- i ng- rooms, wi t h shower-baths, hot and cold ( which ev- ery bather must u.se before entering the swimming l)atli), are also provided. The price of admission, inciuding bathing costume, towels and .soap, is twenty-five cents. Children under fifteen, fifteen cents. The baths are reserved f(jr ladies Monday mornings and Wednesday afternoons. The Turki.sh and Ru.ssian Bath Department at the Laurentian will be found thoroughly up-to-date in ever> detail. Large, airy rooms, ecpiipped with every modern appliance calculated to add to the pleasure and com- fort of bathers, and a competent staff of trained attendants in charge.

At the corner of vSt. Peter and vSt. Paul streets, a tablet is afiixed to a buildinj?, the in.scription of which reads as follows : " Here lived Robert Cavalier, Sieur de La Salle, 1668." The name of La Salle stands out boldly in history ; to Americans and Canadians his deeds appeal with equal force. Of him the late Francis Park- man, of Bo.ston, wrote : " Beset by a throng of enemies, he stands, like the King of Lsrael, head and shoulders over all. He was a tower of adamant, against whose impregnable front hard- .ship and danger, the rage of man and the elements, the southern sun, the northern blast, fatigue, famine and di.sease, delays, disappointments and deferred hopes, emptied their quivers in vain. The very pride, which, Co- riolanus-like, declared itself n'o.sL .sternly in the thickest pre.ss of foes, has in it something to challenge admi- ration.

Ameri a owes him an endurinj^ memory, for, in his ma •culine 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 16S7. Another hou.se that will interest visitors from the si.ster countr}-, is situated on the .southeast corner of St. Peter and Xotre-Dame .streets. It is an old-fa.shioned building, l)ut it was once the most magnificent dwelling in the city, with grounds extending across Notre-Dame and St. 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 Ar- my. The interior dec- oration appears to have been very elab- orate, for we find this description : " The principal rooms were wain.scotted 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 : R"*"^ of Ua Salle Mansion. "Forrester Hou.se. Here General Montgomery nsided during t'l s, in- ter of 1775-76." Another site that appeals to touri.sts, is located on St. Paul : ireet, between Place Royale and St. Sulpice .street, as being the 1>irthpla-.c of Pierre LeMoine, in 1661. It was he who conquered the Hiv'son's Bay for I'Vance, in 1697, and who discovered the mouth of the Missis sippi, 1699. In 1700, he was elected fir.st governor of Louisiana. His brother, who founded New Orleans, in 17 17, and was afterwards governor of Louisiana for forty years, was born in this house. De Catalogue Hou.se, on vSt. \'incent street, is memorable as the home of one of tlie earliest engineers of Montreal. An inscription on the building reads : " 1693. House of Gedeon de Catalogue, engineer, officer and chronicler. Projector of the earliest Lachine Canal." ,1 .11 "Beside llic dark rttawa's slieain, two linndred years aKo, A wondrous fe.'it of arms was wi()ii>i;lit wliit-h all U c world should know " 84 ai)V1';ktisi..mi;\ts.

In an old French street, off vSt. James street, between vSt. Peter and McCiill streets, known as Dollard Lane, is a tablet readinj^ : "To Adam Dollard des Ormeaux, who, with sixteen colonists, fonr Alj^()n(iuins, and one Huron, sacrificed their lives at the hou^ Sault of the Ottawa, 21st May, 1660, and saved the colony." These young men conceived the purpose of ascending the Ottawa to an advantageous post and surprising the marauding Mokawks, determining, if possible, to exterminate them and thus inflict a fearful punishment, while relieving the garrison of the terror that was parali/.ing it. The party encountered the Iroquois, .some accounts .say at the Long Sault, others at the Chaudiere, on the Ottawa. A terrible conflict took place. None of the seventeen ever returned to tell the tale. The news was brought by a Huron to Montreal, who declared all the French were killed, but cau.sed such .slaughter that the Iro(juois were enabled to ascend over the bodies of their dead into the old palisade fort which the French were defending. The "Romance of Dollard" is related by Mary Hart well Cather- wood in the Century Magazine of the year 1888-89, who, at the conclusion of her charming narrative, writes: — "Dollard has been the darling of his people for more than two and a quarter centuries If young children or strangers ask who was Dollard, any Frenchman is ready to answer : ' He was a man of courageous heart ; he .saved Canada from the Iroquois.'

"A few arpents of snow." How inappropriate the term sounds U) one who knows Quebec — for Quebec meant Canada to the French vSover- eign who treated it so cavalierly — in these days when laughing cascades, and bursting buds, and a thousand odors of "green things growing" remind us that sunnner time, our Province's peculiar season, is at hand. The fact that Quebec is a summerland is becoming known year by year to an ever-increasing crowd of visitors from more sultry climes, but it is a fact our own citizens should not be allowed to forget. On the contrary, they should have it so thoroughly impressed on them that the>' will recognize what such a character really means to the Province. If the advantages of Quebec as a summer resort is fully ajjpreciated by its citizens, and the proper measures taken to adverti.se these advantages to the world ; if suitable provision, in railroad and hotel accommodation, be provided for the visitors from other lands ; if, in a word, the people of Quebec are alive to the vantage ground they occupy in the struggle of northern regions for the .summer overflow from .southern lands, this province will soon be the Mecca of thousands where now Init hundreds turn to it. The time when many citizens of Montreal are considering the problem of whether lake, .sea or mountain shall claim them for the summer, is perhaps a not inappropriate .sea.son in which to point out that Montreal al.so po.sses.ses very strong claim.-, to be considered a sunnner resort. The impulse which spreads our people along the banks oi Lake St. Louis, of Lake of Two Mountains, of the Ottawa River and of the Lower St. Law- rence ; which sends them to the hills of the northland, and to the vallej's, lakes and mountains of the Eastern Townships, is the desire for change of scene and of surroundings, the craving for the rest and recreation that come with the sound of the running waters, the murmur of the breeze through the pines, the swishing of the wave on the beach. For the.se mid-summer experiences, in .setting of incomparable natural .scenery, the Province of Quebec is without a peer, and it is no reflexion on Montreal' s reputation as a summer home that many of its citizens seek these expe- riences and the.se scenes. In fact, Montreal is a siniimer re.sort, in some degree, by reason of it being the centre of a region which is in reality another name for opportunity to all who seek communion with nature. No large city on the eastern side of the North American co?'.'anent lies as far north as Montreal, and while this fact may have its disagree- able features to those who do not appreciate our keen and invigorating i M 88 A1)\I;k riSI-MKNTS.

Sc; winters, it j^ivcs Montreal a snnnnttr temperature tliat makes it one of tlie few cities of the larj^^er si/.e in which jK-ople may reside with comfort throughout the summer months. The heated term is very short, and the opportunities for escaping its rigors lie on every hand. The lordly vSt. Lawrence, sweejjing the front of the city, .spreads coolness with its every breath, and the steamboats that ply its waters carry the tired dweller in the city in a few minutes into regions where waters and winds and woods, talk nought of ledgers, or work-benches, or sun-reflecting streets. Against the northern sky ri.ses Mount Royal — the great rock in a weary land, within whcse shadow there are always cool retreats for wearied bodies, and a thousand charms for beauty-loving eyes. Mount Royal Park un- aided can place Montreal high in the list of sunnner cities. No city on the Continent pos.ses.ses, within its very gates, so incomparable and indestructible :i natural ])ark. Throughout the city tree-laden .squares afford opportunities for re.st, and shade to heated pedestrians, while rail and electric roads, radiating from the city, carry their tens of thousands to the .scores of plea.sant waterside resorts which dot the island. To its treasures of wood- lands, mountain-side and water-course that attract the wandering tourist, the Province adds an interest that is pecu- liarly its own, and that appeals with potent force to the lovers of the antique and the students of the old. No other portion of the Continent — not even Florida or Mexico — is so pregnant with memories of the past that must interest every traveller who cares to recall the dawn of civilization on this continent. No city in North America holds greater attraction for the antiquarian and the historian than the city of Quebec, and our own Montreal is also the repository of many a story told in the days of the French regime. When to the.se historical attractions are added the manifold attractions that lavi.sh nature has showered from her cornucopia, we have a province that must ever more and more be the summer home of the heat-burned people of the southlands. —Montreal Herald, May 17th, 1S9S. t n IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) k A /^A^ A 4&0 f/.

Before leaving Ottawa, a visit should be paid to one of the timber slides, which are tolerably frecpient in the upper river. These water-shoots are erected for the purpo.se of gettinjj^ the fallen trees from the hi<;her level down to the river at the smallest possible cost. The descent on one of the rafts down the timber .slide is a thinj; only to be attemi)ted by those who possess strong^ and steady nerves. The population of Ottawa is considerably over fifty thou.sand.

While possessing every modern convenience, and the latest and most scientific improvements, the Queen's has always been famous for the solid, cosy, homelil- the stronghold of Ca- nada, and is called the ' ' Key of the Pro- vince." The Citadel, from its great elevation, affords a fine view of the river and surrounding country. The line of fortification enclosing the Citadel and upper town is nearly three miles in length. There are now three gates, all comparatively new, but replacing works of masonry that in by-gone days, many and many a time proved them.selves a formidable barrier to the foe. Dufferin Terrace in upper town is a well-constructed promenade, occupying the site of the old castle of St. Louis. It is the fashionable and favorite place of resort of the people of Quebec. Its elevation (two hundred and forty-five feet above the river), affords a splendid view of the lower town, the fertile Lsland of Orleans, and the shipping at anchor. From the ramparts between St. Louis and St. John g-ates, and also from the balconies of the University, the prospect is ai'most without a rival. The streets are very irregular. The busy scene of Notre- Dame-des-Victoires reminds one that Quebec ranks amongst the busiest marts in Canada. The principal communication with the upper town is by the Champlain steps and the winding Cote de la Montague. New St. Louis Gate. n io6 ai)VJ';ktisi';mknts.

A jileasant way, however, to make this beautiful round trip is to ,;o fror Quebec to Chicoutimi by the Quebec and Lake St. John Rail- way, and return from Chicoutimi to Quebec by steamer, .so as to see the beautiful scenery of the rail line and the vSaguenay River by da>light. Roberval, on Lake St. Johii, is distant from Chicoutimi by rail sixty miles, and from Quebec by rail one hundred and ninety miles. While en route, the tourist passes Lake lulward, Lake .St. Joseph, and St. Ray- mond on the river Ste. Anne, all remarkably situated, and noted as being favorite resorts of sportsmen. ROBERVAL.

This hotel has been, of late, so ex- tended and improved that it is now one of the most commodious in Canada, arA will accommodate three hundred gue.sts. The hotel has been built on a commanding site, affording a magnifi- cent view of tiie whole expanse of Lake St. John. Almost in front of the hotel is the steamboat wharf, where tourists may embark on the passenger steamer " Mista.ssina," making daily trips and excursions to all points on Lake St. John during the sea.son of navigation, and es])e- cially to the Grand Discharge, where a new and commodious hotel, tlie Island Hou.se, has been built on an island in the centre of the fishing grounds. The Montagnais Indians, who.se village is a short di.stance from the hotel, will be available as canoe-men and guides ; and their bark canoes and intimate knowledge of all the best sporting localities around the lake will always be available to the gue.sts of the hotel. For many years the only practical way of reaching this grand region from Chicoutimi was by driving some sixty miles. The enterprising Quebec & Lake St. Johr Railway have, however, constructed a branch to this point, and now the tou'-ist will be able to come up the Saguenay by boat and return to Quel)ec l)y rail, or vice-ver.sa. From Chicoutimi, we continue our journey down the vSaguenay over the route already fully described, to Tadousac, at the mouth of the river. In either direction, the tourist will be amply repaid by laying out his trip to cover the triangle formed by Quebec, Tadou.sac and Lake St. John. ,;l'i f ! ADVKKTISKMKNTS. Ill Quebec Central Railway.
