GODERICH, ONT.

SHE American tourist arriving at the border
has usually proceeded up into the Highlands
of Ontario or down the St. Lawrence River,
while others have rushed through Canada without
even thinking of the vast limitless tracks of navig-
able waters and scenerj' of endless variety that many
of the island water courses hold out to the lover of
nature. But we would now direct his attention to
a few • ' the points on the Canadian shores of that
larg . s-ater, Lake Huron, and among which

we '.'ose Goderich.

The ^..pi.larity of this resort has become so
marked that during the past year mammoth hotels
have been erected at a cost of thousands of dollars
to accommodate the ever-increasing travel which
is finding its way into the.se parts. As a grand
tour this northern country offers a fresh and varied
trip through the landscape beauties of Ontario,
and has but to be better known to tempt from the
well-known ways of travel the wayfarer in .search
of new scenes, fresh air and health.

Harbor Park, Goderich.

GODKRICII ON THK

The great attractions in this district appeal to
families and those desiring rest and recreation in
the qnietude of a lakeside town or village.

The bathing lieach is perfect, sandy nnd quiet
safe for children, the air is pure and full of ozone,
the lx)ating is capital, and in most of the places
good fishing may be had. Beautiful countr>- drives
are a diversion that can be indulged in, and perfect
rest and quietne.ss can be secure' .

If the tourist prefers seclusion, comfortable
furnished summer cottage;; are to be had at reason-
able rates.

To those who do not wish to incur the expense of
a visit to the more fashionable resorts, no place

Harbor and River, Goderich, Ont.

offers a more attractive claim for summer rest and
healthful sojourn than on the shores of Lake Huron.
Canada's summer climate is the admiration of the
world ; and the summer breezes that come over the
breast of the blue Lake Huron are the mes.sengers
of health, and refreshing to all who are fanned by
them.

Nature has done much to render Goderich a most
attractive spot, and so has the hand of man. It
stands 120 feet above the level of the lake, with two
sides falling abruptly toward the lake and the river.
Perfect drainage is thus afforded, and the municipal
authorities are taking advantage of it, the result
being a perfect system of sewerage, which carries off

the watei in an hour or two after the rain has ceased
to fall. It has lieen known to rain all ni^ht in
Goderich, and a few hours after sunrise not a vestiRc
of the night's downpour aiuld \ye seen by the
suninter visitor who, perhaps, with slipperetl feet
lounged easily around the grounds of his hotel, «>r
along the broad streets of the smiling town. Wcxxlen
sidewalks are not needed in Goderich. Mud is
an unknown quantity, owing to natural and applie<l
drainage, and a system of pavement prevails.

The .site of the town was carefully cho.sen and
laid out on a plan peculiar and admirable. Occupy-
ing a plateau overlooking the lake, and gently
.sloping toward the latter, the situation is one

that has long commanded admiration. The county
court house, a hand.some stone structure, .stands in
the centre of the town and is encircletl with a
lieautiful park, in which flowers of every hue.
shrubs of various kinds and handsome shade trees
abound, faced with many of the principal places of
business, which encompass the park on all sides.
A park surrounded by business blocks is a sight not
often seen. The places of business around this
square, or octagon, have a frontage of al)out a third
of a mile. The roadway between Court House Park
and the stores is wide and level, and is a most
popular carriage drive, and equally jxjpular with
riders of the wheel. Springing from tli's common

center — the eml)o\vere<l Court House — run eight
streets, crossed at inter\als in a fashion to suggest
a spider -'eb. All the streets are much wider than
the ordinary, and long avenues of the choicest
shade trees, of which the umbrageous majile and
the shajx-'ly horse ch-v.-tnut are the most plentiful,
line their sides. The vista looking up or down
North vStreet, through the dense foliage, is one
calculated to ravish the gaze of the lover of sylvan
beauty.

What is kno'.\n is the Harlx)r Park is several
acres planteci »vith sliade and fruit trees, conmiandin^'
a grand view of the harbor and of the great lake
stretching Ijeyond. Here are seats for those who
frequent its inviting quarters, and on the slojx; of
the hill is many a coy nook, emlxnvered by cedars,
where picnickers can enjoy a quiet time ' ' Far from
the madding crowd's ignoble strife" while yet on
the town side of the comnuKlious harlwr. The park
is the favorite resort of the excursion parties that
throng Goderich, and the music of bands is often
heard during the summer months.

"The Wheelmen's Paradise" is the name now
tmiversally 1)estowed ujxjn Goderich by the cycling
pres.s. In the town, and for miles around it, are
what are acknowledged to be the finest runs for
wheelmen in the world. The roads are well graveled,
thoro- hly drained, and present a surface that
del .n the man who sits on the saddle of a fleet,
well- conditioned bicycle.

HHORR 'IF LA KB II IP. ON

At the f«M)t of the hill, within wnlkitiK c1ist;iticf
of the harlxir docks, are t\v<» mineral springs nushiiv,
from the earth at a vjreat clti>th. and flowing freel*
winter and summer, defying alike the heat and cold.
These waters contain iron and sulphnr in a mild
form, and me<lical nun sjK-ak hijjhh "f their value.
The waters are free, ami cot '-nieil lysiK-ptics have
lieen cured by their use. '1 1.e w cr is jileasant t«»

SPORT FOR ANGLERS.

The hotel accoinnuKlation at (Wnlcrich is very
K<kk1 and rates most rea.sonable. A lar^e new
summer hotel was c«>niplete<l last year, and is
known as the Hotel (f(Hlerich. with accomnnKiation
for 200 quests. This resort has been erected at an
outlay of thousands of dollars, and is situated on
the shore of the lake at an elevation of alnn fv,
feet, and has a ko<x1 road down ti> the niagnif.oem
l)each, which is to Ik; found all alouj? the shore .u
this ]K)int. Hathers can wade out t .t.'y deptli
and bath hou.ses -'•e provide<l for d. 'jiuR and
dres-siuK. The hotei is within ten minutes' walk of
the Grand Trunk Railway Station.

Another very pleasant and comfortable hostelry
is The MencsetuuK, a re.sort situated on the opposite

The MencMluiiK. Goderich, Ont.

GODBRICH ON THE

side of the harbor, at a distance of one mile. This
resort is situated in the heart of a well-wooded
district, and has all the attributes of a well-run
establishment, and offers quietude to those looking
for rest and health. The Menesetung has acconi
niodation for loo guests, and the surroundings are
really beautiful.

Goderich is situated at such a high altitude, and
the climauc conditions are of such a nature that the
atmosphere is a sure panacea for hay-fever.

The amusements are various and the hotel is
supplied with modem conveniences.

The Point Farm, Goderich, Ont.

Another ver\- popular summer resort at Goderich
is "The Point Farm," situated about four miles
north of the town, with accommodation for 200
guests. This hotel is delightfully located on a high
bluff over- looking Lake Huron, with extensive views
of the surrounding country. As far as possible,
the hand of man has not disturbed the natural
beauties in the vicinity, and seated in one of the
quaint summer houses, within sound of the music
of the surf, it does not require a vivid imagination
to think one's self out of the bounds of civilization.

An Artesian Well giving pure mineral water, has
been sunk to a depth of 200 feet ; there are modern
sanitarj' arrangements, long-di.stance telephone, etc.

Carriage meets all trains and boats.

SHORB OF LAKE BUROM

Porter's has become a centre for tourists — light
reading of a hight order, art novelties, stationery of
an immensely varied order, souvenirs, etc. Mr.
Porter has met with appreciation of an effort to
meet the requirements of the summer visitors.

Another point of interest is Hotlgens Bros, display
of Furs ; one does not expect to see such goods in
Goderich, and the visitor evidently enjoys the
surprise.

Still another, is Kelly's Jewellery Store ; it has
recently been re-motlelled and presents a very fine
appearance, outside of the larger cities, you will
find few of its class in Canada. A very choice
as.sortment of goods is a.- ■ 'ed including a large and
varied a.ssortment of souvenirs, there is a special
department for watch repairing, in which line
Mr. Kelly has attained an excellent reputation.

J. B. Hawkins, Hardware Store, where the fisher-
man or the hunter can have his wants supplied — is
also a fine establishment.

Gundrj- Bros. Livery, of which we show a cut
elsewhere, is equipped with every sort of rig and
excellent horses ; they meet all boats and trains,
transfer baggage, etc.

The Confectionery and Ice Cream Parlors of
J. J. Edward, is another point of interest, and is
thronged with lovers of good things.
