It has been the endeavour herein to provide as complete a Directors' and Guide of the Arcade Build- ing as, at this early stage of its history, is possible. The necessity of providing some means, until the publication of the next City Directory, by which the numerous and varied occupations of this large build- ing (or covered street, hs it may more properly be called) may the more readily be distinguished, has suggested the issue, now and from time to time, of the Record . In adding one more to the formidable number of Semi-Centennial Memorials, the proprietors of the Record feel that they can claim for the Arcade, the particular object of their commemoration, an exalted place among the evidences of advancement and pros- perity of the Queen City. It is hoped that by the interspersion of a f'^v pleasantries, with matter of a more solid and useful type, the reading of the Arcade Guide and Record will be made palatable and inter- esting to the thousands into whose hands it will come. / AKCAUK GUlDIi AND KliCORD.

By reference to that most excellent work " Toronto of Old," and from a kind note to the proprietors of this pamphlet from the venerable author —Dr. Scad- ding — we gather the following interesting informa- tion : — Yonge Street, from Queen (Lot Street) to the Bay, was not opened till about 1800. The traffic, up to that time, from the north turned east at Queen Street for the distance of three chains seven links, and then passed south down towards the heart of the Town of York, by what was then called Toronto Street. When Yonge Street was opened through to King, Toronto Street was closed up, Victoria Street (then called Upper George Street) being laid out to take its place. Jesse Ketchum, the great philanthro- pist, who owned from Adelaide Street north to Rich- mond Street, and even to Queen, when Yonge Street was opened, must have bought out a good many ">■ ' J AKCADE GUIDE AND RECORD. previous proprietors. The four lots from which shces must have l)een taken to forui Yon^e Street between Adelaide and f^ichmond, havinj^ been owned (be- fore Ketchum) by Alexander Bell, Augustus White, James Clark, jr., and Frederick Baron de Hoen, an officer in a German force in the pay of England, dis- banded in Canada; and the central passage of the Toronto Arcade crosses the lots of the two last named gentlemen. J(;sse Ketchum owned, also, from Ade- laide almost to King, carrying on somewhere in this neighbourhood his famous tannery business. Dr. Scadding, in the letter above referred to, very graciously adds: "... I have always thought Victoria Street one of the most interestuig thorough- fares in Toronto, as representing the old Toronto Street, down wliich the early traffic from the north and west passed into the town. I am glad to see Victoria Street adorned and dignified by the hand- some eastern front of the new Arcade, and I wish ail success to the new enterprise." Familiar to very, very few, if any, now living can be the times about which we have just been reading, nor shall we dwell upon the sure and steady advance- ment of the Town of York, and then the City of To- ronto, during the first half of the century. Familiar, however, to the mind of every inhabitant of Toronto and the whole travelling public of Ontario, must be that portion of Yonge Street, opposite Temperance, on which stood that comfortable hostelry yclept the Bay Horse Hotel, which for so many years affi^rded accommodation and refreshing comfort to man and ' beast; and we venture the remark that not a few of ► ARCADE GUinE AND RKCORD. our "old inhabitants" and the sturdy farmers and their sons, who had many '\ time experienced the genial hospitahty of mine host, Mr. Thomas Best, sr., viewed with a pang of regret the demohtion of the old house, the scene of so many refreshing meetings and comforting repose after a long drive or hard day's work; but in the irresistible march of improve- ment this was to be expected. This valuable plot of ground on which two years ago stood the J^ay Morse Hotel, together with other buildings, through to Victoria Street, was needed for another purpose, and the young Torontonian and in fact Canadian of to-day will, fifty years hence, re- member, and we trust know, the locality as the site of the "Toronto Arcade."

This enter- prise was none other than to erect an "Arcade," a style of building of which theie is no other in Canada and but few in the United States; a style, though, which has become deservedly popular in tiie great cities of the old world, notably Milan, Pans, London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, etc. The enterprise once being determined on, the next thing was to find the site; the many excellent advan- tages of the project to connect Temperance Street with Lombard, across Yonge and Victoria, soon de- cided the Board to select that locality. Some delay, of course, was necessary in order to acquire the required land, and not till the spring of 1883 were active building operations commenced. After a severe and exhaustive competition, the plans of Mr. Chas. A. Walton, a talented and experienced architect of Toronto, were decided on, and tenders immediately called for.

The first step, of course, was the demolition of the old buildings; this being done, in an astonishing sliort time the stone founda- tion was laid; then the massive walls began to rise, and, day by day, grew and grew, until by the end of the winter the entire building was roofed in. Takmg into consideration the vast amount of minute detail work to be done on a l)uilding of such enormous pro- portions, and the fact that the building is in Canada without a precedent on which to base an estimate, it is not surprising that the year is well advanced before the completion of the building; but it is, we think, ' singularly appropriate that the week of Toronto's Scmi-Centennial Exposition should be further cele- brated by the opening of the Arcade. THE BUILDING. The building is 267 feet long, by 90 feet wide, is of Ohio cut stone and l^rick, and in design is of the modern Greek style, treated in a rather bold, free manner, not too much loaded with elaborate detail. The general plan comprises a central and two end buildings, all connected with each other, the latter being four stories in height; the central building is of three stories, covered by a glass roof 35 feet span by 130 feet in length (it is said that the weight of glass on this lO ARCADE GUIUE AND RECORD.

II roof is over twenty-three tons), and we are informe I by the architect that no cement or putty has been used in the glazing; the system adopted, designed by him- self, is entirely unique and well worth inspection by those taking an interest in ^such matters. On the ground floor there are thirty-two stores, four at each end, fronting on Yonge and Victoria Streets respec- tively, and tw^enty-four in the centre building. These latter are most compact little places, measuring 12 feet by 29, and are admirably suited to the light busi- nesses for which they are rented ; each of the ground- floor stores has a cellar of the same size, and all con- veniences. On the first Hoor of the centre building there are twenty stores, somewhat similar to those below, approached from a gallery 6 feet wide ; over this again, on the second floor, there are twenty rooms suitable for offices or private apartments. The first, second and third floors of the two end buildings are designed for general office purposes and, from the excellence of situation and construction, present an attraction in the way of office accommodation ecpialled by no building in the city. The building throughout is steam-heated by the direct radiation plan, and has an efficient system of ventilation and drainage. The question of lighting was one which occupied the earnest attention of the architect and all concerned ^ and many were the prognostications of the wise heads of the street tliat on this score the building must fail, but in the result we have a success far beyond the most sanguine expectations, as there is not in the whole building one store or office with light inferior ] .,,, 12 ARCADE GUIDE AND RECORD.

For the convenience of visitors and the piibhc generally there is, in addition to the two broad, liberal stairways, a first-class hy- draulic passenger elevator at each end; thus, with the greatest possible ease, one can travel from the ground lioor to the very top. The passage-way down the centre of the building — 20 feet in width — is sur- mounted on the street elevations by a fine, bold arch of artistic design, elaborately carved. The pavement is constructed, as also is the sidewalk in front of the building, of veiy heavy oak planking, laid on a pre- paration of pitch ; it is believed that this will prove more durable and satisfactory than stone or tile. The utmost care has been taken to ensure protection against fire, all internal partitions and chimneys being of brick-work, from cellar-floor to roof; in addition to this a hydrant will be placed in position at each end of the building. ', From the first stone laid in the foundation to the spear on the top of the flag-staff, the entire building, - both inside and out, is constructed on the most approved modern constructive principles, and the Directors of the Company have, we consider, every reason to congratulate themselves upon the building result of their enterprise. The owners are not the only people to be congratulated, however. The several contractors who have so faithfully done tlieir work can share in the just pride felt in this magnifi- ■ cent structure — a building to which they can forever point as a monument of their skill.

I5 THE CONTRACTORS. The several contractors who have so successfully assisted in the erection of the Arcade are as follows: — For the mason-work, Mr. John Herbert, one of our oldest and l)cst known builders, who justly points with pride to the thorouj^h and solid manner in which his work has been done. The stone-work, which occupies so ornate a part in the front elevations, was trusted to Mr. Lionel Yorke, who has in the Arcade, in addition to many other fine buildings (notably the new Standard Bank), a standing monument to his success. Messrs. McCraken, Gall & Co. in the wood- work and general carpentering luive fully sustained the high standard which they have attained among the building community. Mi. M. O'Connor, of Church Street, undertook the painting and glazing, and with that gentlenum, who boasts that he has painted anda domed almost all the great buildings in the city, to undertake is to succeed. Of the other con- tractors — viz., Messrs. Bennett & Wright, plumbers, gas-fitters, and steam-heaters; Douglas l^ros., gal- vanized iron-workers; Joseph Murphy, plasterer; Estate of D. Forbes, felt-roofers ; Robt. Prosser, stair- builder — it can only be said, as has already been said of the others, that they have all done their work in the most thorough and efficient manner. The stone carving and decorating is the handiwork of Messrs. Holbrook & Mollington. The vault doors, which are' of improved style, with combmation locks, are from the firm of J. & J. Taylor, and the elevators are from the well-known factory of Mr. John Fensom. In ..^'^ «m, 1 6 ARCADE r,(!inF, AND RFXORD.

A. Walton, who in his double capacity ot arciiitect and superintendent has always proved him- self careful, attentive and courteous, and it must be particularly {^ratifying to this «(entleman to see his efforts crowned with so much success. One very pleasing feature in connection with the work is that there was no wrangling or unpleasantness between any of the parties interested, and we are glad to liml that the building has been completed without extras. It may be observeil that the principle "Canada for the Canadians" has been carried out all through, everyone employed on the building, from the ,'irchit(^ct to the smallest contractor, having Toronto for his business place. A FEW OF THE OCCUPANCIES. Before the walls had reached the top storej', the enterprising managers of the British American Busi- ness College determined that this was the very place for their ever increasing business; consequently they rented and caused to be specially laid out for their use the entire third flat in the Vonge l:treet building, and a visit to their rooms will prove that the accom- modation for the hundreds who constantly attend their classes is most complete. About the same time as the above arrangement was made with the Business College, Mr. Turnbull Smith conceived the idea of renting the entire second l8 ARCADE GUIDE AND RECORD. Thos. McCraken.

Fitted throughout in the most tasteful and complete manner, these rooms, with their fourteen new and handsome tables, present an appearance unequalled in Canada. Mr. Smith assures us that evt^ry atten- tion will be paid to his guests, and everything done to make the hall worthy of its appearance and the fine building in which it is situated. To the suite of rooms on the first floor (Yonge Street) Mr. C. P. Lennox has removed his popular and well-known dentist establishment. At the store on the north corner of the Arcade path-way and Yonge Street, Messrs. W. T. Chambers & Bro. open out with a splendid assortment of gents' furnishings, etc. The store opposite the Messrs. Chambers, on the south corner of the path-way and Yonge Street, has been taken by Mr. J. h. Meacham, and will be occu- pied as a drug-store. The south store on Yonge Street is occupied by the proprietors of the "Oakland's Jersey Dairy." Here the Messrs. Fuller, the well-known dealers in Jersey cattle, owners of the celebrated Mary Anne, of S.. Lambert, have opened an agency for the pro- ducts of their dairy. The store has been most ele- gantly fitted up in the latest artistic style, the arrange- ments being as complete as they are tasteful. Mr. P. H. Dufresne, the well-known King Street photographer, was also an early applicant for accom- modation, and has opened his studio on the third floor of the Victoria Street buihling, where he hopes to sec all his old friends and many new ones. 20 AkCADE GUIDE AND RECORD.

Mr. Gibb is not without experience in this hue, having for some time run the Bay Horse Hotel on Yonge Street, where he made many friends. Both these gentlemen guarantee to the public a restaurant and saloon first-class in every particular. In conclusion, we are requested by the owners to invite everyone in Toronto and throughout the country, old or young, to call and inspect the build- ing. It is earnestly hoped and believed that the very fact of so many attractive places filled with the neces- saries and luxuries of life being all grouped together under one cover, sheltered alike from storm and sun, will insure for the occupants of the " Toronto Arcade " a large share of the patronage of our citizens. The many advantages possessed by the Arcade, such as the concentration of every variety of business within a convenient and enclosed space, ought to make the stand a favourite one among purchasers. The privilege of being able to obtain all one wants on a rainy day, without the risk of a soaking, or on a hot day, without the risk of a sun-stroke, will, we think, be appreciated. The passage-way will, more- over, form a pleasant promenade through which to reach the Post-office from Yonge Street. *^'^^r^* 22 ARCADE GUIDE AND RECORD. J. § J.

" Value received " is usually written in a note, and should be, hut is not necessary. An oral agreement must be proved by evidence. A written agreement proves itself. The law prefers written to oral evi- dence because of its precision. No consideration is sufficient in law if it be illegal in its nature. If the time of payment of a n«)te is not inserted, it is held payable on demand. The time of payment of a note must not depend upon a con- tingency. The promise must be absolute. A bill may be written upon any paper, or substitute for it, either with ink or pencil. .\n endorsee has a right of action against all whose names were on the bill when he received it. If the letter containing a protest of non-payment be put into the post-office any mi.scarriage does not affect the party giving notice. Notice of protest may be sent either to the place of business or of residence of the party notified. If two or more persons as partners are jointly liable on a note or bill, due notice to one of them is sufficient. An endorsement may be written on the face or back. An endorser may prevent his fn\n liability to be sued by writing " without recourse," or similar words. 32 AKCADK GUIDK AND RF.COKD. -H Places of Interest and Public BulldlngsH^ IN TORONTO.

When the late Mr. Solomon s remarkable picture, " Waiting for the Verdict, " was exhibited at the Hoyal Academy, it took the world by surprise. Amonj^st the .ijxjctators was Thomas Landseer the engraver, brother to Sir ICdwin, and a few con- genial spirits. " Waiting for the Verdict " was hung above the line, but the Royal Academicians had their own pictures exhibited cm the approved level. Thomas Landseer was in ecstasies with the young, and up to this time undistinguished, artist's work, and waving his hand towards it, exclaimed " There is Solomon in all his glory, but he was not H. A. 'd (arrayed) like one of these, " pointing to the paintings one of favoured Academicians. Witty Rei'Lv : Lord Chesterfield happened 10 be ata rout in I'rancf, where Voltaire was one of the guests. Chesterfield seemed to be gazing about the brilliant circles of ladies, when Voltaire thus accosted him . • My Lord I know you are a judge; which are n rebeautiful - the Knglishor I'rench ladies ' " " Upon my word,' replied his lordship, with his usual presence of mind, " I am no connoisseur in paintings. " Some tim(> after this, Voltaire being in London, happened to be at a nobleman's rout with Lord ("hesterfield. A lady in company, prodigiously painted, directed her whoU; discourse to Voltaire, and entirely engrossed his conversation. Lord Clu'sterfield came up, and lapped him on the shoulder, .saying, " Sir, take care that you are not captivated." " My hjrd " replied the French wit, " I scorn to betaken by an English frigate under J-rench colours." Mr. Ruskin is quoted as saying : — " You fancy you are sorry for the pain of others. Now, I tell you ju.st this, that if the usual course of war, instead of unroofing peasants' houses and ravaging peasants' fields, merely broke the china upon your own drawing-room tables, no war in civilized countries would last a week." An English clergyman, b(;moaning the state of affairs in his parish, when addressing his congregation recently, said : ' Yes, my brethren, and these things are hapjiening every day in this so-called nineteenth century " The following appropriate epitaph may be seen on the grave of an infant in an English churchyard : — " Since I am so early done for, I wonder what I was begun for.
