 GUIDE TO MONTREAL. 
 
 « <•> » 
 
 Montreal has always held a very prominent 
 place among the cities of Ameri(;a on account 
 of its commercial importance, its situation at 
 the head of ship navigation, and the enterprise 
 and high character of its merchants. It is the 
 headquarters of nine lines of steamships, includ- 
 ing the Allan line. The chief offices of the 
 G.T.E. are situated here. The city impresses 
 the tourist as he approaches it. The harbour 
 filled with steamers from all parts of the world, 
 the noble quays with over a mile of cut-stone 
 revetment walls, the magnificent warehouses 
 and silver s])ired churches, with the mountain in 
 the back-ground, present a coup d'ceil nowhere 
 else witnessed.

 It was on the 2nd October, 1535, that Jacques 
 Cartier first set his foot on the Island of'3Iontreal 
 at the Indian town of Ilochelaga, of whicli he 
 thus writes : 
 
 *• When they came near the town they were 
 met bv the Lord or Kinc:of the country. Aii'ou- 
 hanna byname, who was borne on the shoulders 
 of several natives. AYlien the party were all 
 seated, the natives brought in diseased men, 
 lame, blind and deaf, and laid them belbre Car- 
 tier that he might touch them, for they thought 
 that he was a j^od who had descended from 
 heaven to heal tliem. He recited the Gospel of 
 St. John, and prayed that God would open tlieir 
 hearts, that they might receive his holy word 
 and be converted." 
 
 '•'We entered the town which is placed near, 
 as it were joined, to a great mountain, very fer- 
 tile on the top, from which you may see very 
 far. The town is round, encompassed about 
 with timber, Avith three ramparts, one within 
 another, framed like a sharp spire, but laid 
 across above. The middlemost of these is made 
 and built in a direct line, but perpendicular. 
 The ramparts are framed and fashioned with 
 pieces of timber, laid along the ground, very

 well and cunningly joined after their fashion; 
 this enclosure is in height about two rods ; it 
 hath but one gate, or entry thereat, which is 
 shut with piles, stakes and bars ; over it, and 
 also in many parts of the wall, there be places 
 to run along, and ladders to get up, all full of 
 stones,, for the defence of it. 
 
 '' There are in the town about fifty houses, 
 each fifty paces long, and fifteen or twenty broad, 
 built all of wood, covered over with the bark of 
 the wood, as broad as any board, and cunningly 
 joined together. Within are many rooms, lodg- 
 ings, and chambers." 
 
 In the early history of Montreal (1640) the 
 records show that many private individuals in 
 France animated with christian zeal sent out to 
 Canada settlers, teachers, priests and nuns. 
 Olier and Dauversi^re were perhaps the most 
 active in establishing Montreal. "VYe have the 
 legend as follows : 
 
 *' Jerome le Eoyer de la Dauversiere, a col- 
 lector of taxes at La Fleche, in Anjou, and a 
 young priest of Paris, Joan Jacques Olier by 
 name, having met each other, formed the idea 
 of establishing at Montreal three religious com- 
 munities, one of priests, to convert the Indians ; 
 
'^If^Si — **^i

 one of nuns, to nurse the sick ; and one of nuns, 
 to teach the children of the Indians and of the 
 colonists." 
 
 Dauversiere was an enthusiastic devotee, and 
 one day while at his devotions he heard a voice 
 commanding him to become the founder of a 
 new order of hospital nuns, and to establish on 
 the island called Montreal, in Canada, an hospi- 
 tal, or '' Hotel Dieu," to be conducted by these 
 nuns. Dauversiere was greatly perplexed. On 
 the one hand, the voice from Heaven must be 
 obeyed; on the other he had a wife, six children 
 and a very moderate income. 
 
 There was at this time, at Paris, a young 
 priest, '-Olier," twenty-eight years of age, who, 
 while he was praying in the ancient church of 
 St. Germain des Pris, thought he heard a voice 
 from heaven telling him that he was to be a 
 light to the Gentiles. He was also told that he 
 was to form a society of priests, and establish 
 them upon the island called Montreal, in Canada, 
 for the propagation of the true foith. 
 
 We are told that while he and Dauversiere 
 were totally ignorant of Canadian geography, 
 they suddenly found themselves in possession, 
 they knew not how, of the most exact details

 coiic'cniiuo- Monti'ciil, its size, shape, situation, 
 soil, climate and productions. 
 
 Dauversiore pondered tlio revelation he liad 
 received, and the moi-e he ])ondei'ed tlie more lie 
 became convinced that the call came from God. 
 lie therefore went to Paris, where he was 
 strcng'thened in his conviction by another 
 vision. 
 
 From Paris he went to the Chateau of 
 Mcnden, not far from St. Cloud. Entering the 
 gallery of an old castle, lie saw a priest 
 approaching him. It was Olier. Althouo-h 
 these men had neitlier seen nor heard of each 
 other, yet, impelled by a kind of inspiration, 
 they knew each other, even to the depths of 
 their hearts, and saluted each other by name 
 lik'o two friends who had met after a lonjr 
 separation. ^ 
 
 Dauversiere received communion at the hands 
 of Olier, after which they proceeded to discuss 
 the plans revealed to them. It was an easy 
 matter to talk over those plans; but in order to 
 carry tham out, they must first raise some 
 money. For this purpose, Olier laid the matter 
 before some of his wealthy penitents, while 
 ^ Dauversiere buccceded in securing the Jiaron de ^^

 man, who, considcrini^* the enlerj)rise as one 
 calculated to further his spiritual interestn, was 
 eager to talce part in it. Shortly afterwards, 
 three others were secured, and the six together 
 formed the f»:erm of the " So<.'iete de JSIotre 
 Dame do Montreal." Among tliem they raised 
 seventy-iive thousand llvies. 
 
 In February, 1C41, the Associates, with Olier 
 at their head, assembled in the Church of Xotrc 
 Dame at Paris, and before tl\e Altar of the 
 Vii'gin, solemnly consecrated Montreal to the 
 IIolj^ Family, and to be called ''■ Ville- Marie de

 Jacques Cartier, on beholding the beautiful 
 scenery from the summit of the mountain, the 
 woods, hills, streams, islands, gave the name 
 Mont Eo^^al which it still retains with a slight 
 modification. 
 
 On the 9th Sept., 1760, Montreal, then con- 
 taining 3,000 inhabitants, capitulated to General 
 Lord Amherst, commtiuding the British Troops, 
 and since that period Canada has been under 
 the British Crown. 
 
 Montreal was, on the I2tli i^ov., 1715, taken ,^^

 command of the American forces. He made 
 the square in front of the old French Church 
 his parade ground, and gave it the name Place 
 d'Armes, which it has retained to this day. 
 Montgomery fitted out an expedition to attack 
 Quebec, and met his death under the walls of 
 that city by a discharge from a masked Battery.

 DRIVES. 
 
 After having taken up their residence at the 
 Hotel, the first desire of tourists is to see the 
 city. It is best to take the first pleasant weather 
 for driving. Having secured a good carriage 
 and settled terms either per hour or distance, 
 the driver will take you around the mountain. 
 Passing through St. Lawrence Main street, a 
 contra.st is presented between the old French 
 one storey houses with their coupe feu (fire cut 
 oif) walls on each end and the modern brick 
 and cutstone structures. Reaching Shorbrooke 
 street, vou will turn to the left and then to the 
 right. You enter Upper St. Urbain street, on 
 the right corner of which is the residence of 
 Mr. Brydges, of the G.T.K. At the termination

 of this street is the 
 
 HOTEL DIEU, 
 
 the largest building in the Dominion. It is a 
 cloister convent, a hospital, and asylum for poor 
 children. The hospital contains accommodation 
 for 250 beds. The sisters are released tempora- 
 rily from the cloister for the purpose of acting 
 as nurses. The surgeons are selected from the 
 city practitioners, and are of high reputation. 
 Including the sisters and permanent inmates, 
 there are 490 persons. 
 
 The chapel has a dome of 150 feet in height, 
 the ceiling of which is frescoed, representing 
 the Ste. Famille, from which the name is 
 derived. 
 
 Leaving the Hotel Dieu you have a sight of 
 the village of St. Jean Baptiste, and in a few 
 moments reach 
 
 MILE END. 
 
 The road to the right leads to the quarries from 
 whence comes the limestone of which Montreal 
 is built. 
 
 The road to the left leads around the 
 ^ mountains. After passing the toUgato the r

 straight roiid takes you to the 
 
 MOUNT ROYAL CEMETERY. 
 
 which is well worth a visit. It forms a cool, 
 pleasant retreat in the shady walks and drives, 
 and many of the monuments are works of art. 
 lleturning from the Cemetery the drive is con- 
 tinued round the mountain and soon reaching 
 a higher elevation, a beautiful panoramic view 
 is obtained of the northern side of the Ishmd. 
 On a clear day thirteen village spires may be 
 seen. In the distance the spire of the College 
 ofSte. Therese glistens in the sun, the waters 
 of the Lake of the Two 3Iountains and the Lak3 
 St. Louis of the St. Lawrence are visible. 3"he 
 village of 
 
 COTE DES NEIGES, 
 
 with its quaint okl chapel next attracts the 
 attention of the tourist, as it is a fair specimen 
 of a Canadian villaire. 
 
 Many imagine it derives its name from the 
 snow-drifts, the true name is The Village of 
 Our Lady of Snow. It is derived from a viHage 
 of the same name in France, the legend of 
 which is as follow^s : Centuries ao-o there lived 
 
 M>'^ ^ 
 
GUIDE TO 3I0NTREAL. 15 7^ 
 
 in France a good pious man named Lonis Yadc- 
 boncoeiir, who by industry acquired (for those 
 times) a fortune. lie had lived happily with 
 his wife for 52 years. Heaven had not blessed 
 them with children, and their only relatives 
 were distant. As the infirmities .of age were 
 creef)ing on, Louis said to himself, " what shall 
 
 r 
 
 I do with my money ? I will not leave it for 
 my relatives to quarrel over and waste in law- 
 suits or dissipation. I will build a church for 
 the good Lord who has blessed me all my life." 
 The trouble was where he should build. After 
 piously thinking over the matter for many days, 
 one night an angel appeared to him in a dream, 
 and said, *' The good Lord is well pleased that 
 you have resolved to build a temple for his 
 glory." Louis answered, ''I am troubled to 
 know where to build." The angel replied, 
 " You and your wife go forth on a journey and 
 the Lord will direct you." So they, went forth 
 on their journey, looking earnestly for a sign. 
 After many days travel, one bright sunny morn- 
 ing on the 18th of August, they came to a 
 slope or hillside, (cote) and found on the green 
 irrass the snow laid in the form of a cross. 
 ^ Louis cried, " Here is the sign of the good T

 Lord's will," and there he built a church and 
 called it L'Eglise de Notre Dame des Neiges. 
 Soon came many people to dwell there. In the 
 17th century, among the French emigrants who 
 came to settle in Canada were several families 
 from this village. When looking for land they 
 went over the mountain, and as they beheld the 
 beautiful view they exclaimed, " this is like our 
 native village in France." Well pleased, they 
 settled there and built a small church and 
 named it L'Eglise de Notre Dame des Neiges. 
 From that church the name of the hamlet is 
 derived. 
 
 The intermountain road leads direct to the 
 town. On the left is the Roman Catholic Cem- 
 etery, which contains many fine monuments. 
 The view from the Tollgate is very extended. 
 For the convenience of strangers a platform has 
 been erected on the wall surrounding the Priests' 
 Farm, which affords a view of part of the town, 
 the manufactories and mills at the Canal,Griffin- 
 town, and the St. Lawrence. The road around 
 the two mountains turns off at Cote des Neiges 
 to the right, and for nearly 2 miles the eye is 
 delighted with a panoramic view of the culti- 
 vated farms of the Canadians. Turning to the

 education of Canadian youth, of whom altout 
 2G0 are in attendance. Although no degrees ai'e 
 granted, the course of training is excellent and 
 thorough, and the general conduct of t]]e stu- 
 dents most exemplary. The towers which 
 stand in front of the college, and appear so 
 incongruous with the architecture of the build- 
 ing, are remains of the old college, and werefor- 
 m(ti*ly loophooled and served dui'ing the early 
 settlement of jiontreal as a defence a<^ain8t tlie 
 attacks of the Indians. The latter often came

 eai'liest converts to Christianitv was an Indian 
 maid of extreme beauty and loveliness. Such 
 was her devotion that sbe became a nun, and 
 taught the Indian children in the convent

 From the church a short walk to St. Denis 
 street brings you to 
 
 VIGER SQUARE 
 
 which, though not very tastefully laid out, forms 
 a pleasant place for promenade. 
 IJeturning via Craig street, the 
 
 CHAMP DE MARS 
 
 is passe<l. This was the former parade ground for 
 the troops when Monti-eal was a garrison town, 
 On the south side is the , 
 
 COURTHOUSE, 
 
 a large building in which the various courts are 
 held. Entering Notre Dame street, 
 
 NELSON'S MONUMENT 
 
 appears at the head of Jacques Cartier Square. 
 Passing up the street the French Parish 
 Church of Xotre Dame is seen with its towers 
 220 feet high. One of the towers is open to the 
 public on paying a fee of 25 cents. From the 
 lop a view of the whole city may be obtained ;

 know tliat this square derives its name from its 
 having been the pfirade ground of Montgomery's 
 troops while he held possession of Montreal on 
 his way to Quebec where he met his death. 
 The next walk we would suggest is in 
 
 BLEURY STREET. 
 
 The first place of interest is . Totman's photo- 
 graphic studio. 
 
 Ascending Bleury street we come to the

 on the left. Externally the architecture is by no 
 means attractive, but the frescos and paintings 
 render the church interesting to strangers, a 
 full description is therefore given. 
 
 The church forms a perfect Cross. The head 
 of the cross is formed by the Altar. 
 
 Over the High Altar is a beautiful fresco 
 representing the Crucifixion of Our Lord. High- 
 er up, the centre-piece is a scene from the Apo- 
 calypse, the four {ind twenty Elders are prostrate 
 beibre the Lamb that was slain, — the Lamb is

 out it will form the finest park in the world. 
 WINTER AMUSEMENTS. 
 
 As attractive as Montreal is to a stranger in 
 summer by its beautiful drives, its varied scen- 
 ery, its magnificent harbor, it is in winter that 
 the novelty of costumes and of winter vehicdes 
 the beauty of snow scenery, the variety of out- 
 door amusements, games and the life within 
 doors, renders a winter sojourn most enjoyable 
 and interesting. First may be named 
 
 VICTORIA SKATING RINK, 
 Drummond Street. This building, 200 feet by 
 80 feet, furnishes a large field of ice free from 
 interruption. Carnivals and masquerades take 
 place frequently. 
 
 CURLING RINKS. 
 
 There are several excellent and convenient 
 rinks for the playing of the ancient Scot(di 
 game of curling. The Thistle Rink, near the 
 Turkish Bath, is one of the most comi^lete rinks 
 in town. There are besides the Montreal Kink

 experience in guiding the toboggan down a 
 steop decline. 
 
 DRIVING IN SLEIGHS 
 
 Upon the ice or in the country is very attractive. 
 A good turnout may be procured from the Liv- 
 ery stables, and excellent sleighs may be obtain- 
 at the sleigh stand. A drive to any of the Cana- 
 dian villages in winter will give an insight into 
 the degree of comfort and happiness so charac- 
 teristic of the well to do '' Habitant." 
 
 CUSTOMS. 
 
 Travellers have a right to take in their trunks 
 all personal effects and all goods or clothing 
 required for their comfort or health free of duty. 
 The customs examiner opens trunks and does 
 his disagreeable duty as considerately as 
 possible. The little trifles which travellers buy

 are laid upon the rocky bed of the river whoso 
 current at these points varies from 10 to 12 
 miles per hour. Provision is made for the con- 
 traction and expansion of the iron tubes by the
