The Ci^y of Montreal, the commercial metropolis of the Dominion of Canada, is built on an island of the same name, formed by the River Ottawa debouching into the River St. Lawrence, at its western and eastern extremities, the former near St. Ann's, the latter at Bout de risle. The island is of a triangular shape, and is about 30 miles long and 10 broad, situated in Latitude 45^ 31' North, and Longitude 78° 35' West and 250 miles above salt water. Montreal was founded on the 8th of May, 1642, by Maisonneiive, and called by the name of Ville Marie de Montreal ; the first clearing being made on the spot where the New Custom House now stands. The city proper is about 4^ miles long by 2 broad, and has over 200 miles of streets and lanes. Montreal is 315 miles nearer to Liverpool than the city of New York, and one-third of the whole distance, by way of the St. Lawrence, is in comparatively smooth water. The distance from Montreal to Chicago by the St. Lawrence system is 185 miles less than the distance from New York to the same city. Montreal is 334 miles from Boston, 400 miles from New York, 845 from Chicago, and 2,750 miles from Liverpool. British Troops were stationed in Montreal till 1870. The station of the Canadian Pacific Railway now stands upon the site of the barracks. Montreal surrendered to the English on the 8th of September, ?760. It was taken by the Americans on the 12th of November, 1775, and retaken by the British on the 15th of June, 1776. On 25th of April, 1849, the self-styled Loyalists of Montreal assaulted the Governor-General, Lord Elgin, entered the Parliament House (erected where the St. Ann's Market now stands), drove out the nmKa<atH¥..i -.«- 'Ai-<CkANe CO MONTREAL. I f I 16 MONTREAL I»A«T AND PRESENT. moinWerK un<l Het tiro to the building. For this and othor roasontt, the neat of imrlitiinimt was roniovod from the city. The population of the city of Montreal is 212,0)0, an increase of over 26 per cent in the last decade. Over one-half of the popula- tion are ot French and one-Hfth of Irish, one-seventh of Knglish and one-seventeenth of Scotch oriji^in, but the one-seventeenth of Scotish origin have ns large a share in the enterprise and business ')f Montreal as any of the other nationalities which form one-half, one-tifth, or one-seventh of the populati(m ; and as to religion, about two-thirds are I^omiin Catholics. The general good feeling existing between parties of different shades of opinion rentiers Montreal less subject to party disturbances than othor cities of the same popula- tion. This rule, of course, like every other rule, had one or two exceptions; but the following two instances show that the above rule has been very well followed. In the old times, just after the Conquest, the Protestants used one of the lioman churches after the morning mass. For 20 years after I7(>fi, the Church of England po )ple occupied the Church of the Rocollots every Sunday after- noon. The Presbyterians used the same church before 1792, and when the congregation moved to their first church in St. Gabriel Street, they presented to the priests of the Recollet Church a gift of candles for the high altar, and of wine for the mass, as a token of good-will, and thanks for the gratuitous use of the church. The Bonsecours Church was very nigh being swept away, a few- year.s ago, to make room for a railway station, but some Protes tants, actuated by a love of the picturesque, and out of regard for the memory of the good Sister by whom it was founded, made such a noise about it that the Bishop interfered to prevent the sale Louis Joseph Papineau who, with Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, took the lead in the troubles of 1837-8, had his head-quarters in Montreal. On the 9th of June, 1853, Father Gavazzi, a celebrated lecturer, formerly a famous Roman Catholic priest, lectured against the Church of Rome in Zion Congregational Church, and a riot ensued, in which about 40 persons were either killed or wounded. The Bank of Montreal, the first bank in Canada, was opened in Montreal in 1817. The second steamer built on the continent of America was built at Montreal, by Mr. John Molson, and was called the ''Accommoda- tion." She made her first voyage in 36 hours, between Montreal and Quebec, on the 3rd and 4th November, 1809. From 1685 to 1801 Montreal was surrounded by a wall, extend- ing along the site of Fortification Lane from Victoria Square to Dal boil Vic tori site of the smi of a trii It soeni Mont of the sj account judici'd of these Prote.-ita The a in his fir sent V\n\ Hochela^ A ridt cars may A dri\ Park and torios on <ronera to west, { The ca^ THK li source is of Lake g and the ti a distance short dist fi'om 10 t Quebec it and 9 wid St. Lawre rence Da) and the G name ever At (^ueb the lower great, that "Great Ka HUSINKSS HOUSKS OK MONTRKAl-. ly )k the real, [turor, jt the isued, led in IS built imoda- ^ntreal ixtend- lare to Dalliousio Siiuaro, jit the Cuniuliiin P '*irti' Jtuilvfiiy Depot.

Montreal is less suhject to epidemics than many other cities of the same si/e, although the sniall-pox i^ot a hold of it in 1885, on account of the vast majority of the Frencdi-f^anadians being pre- judiced against vaccination. The number of deaths was 3, IU4; of those, 2,887 were French-Canadians, 181 other Catholics and 96 Protestants. The ancient vilhijL^e of llochelat^a, described by Jacques Cartier, in his first visit to Montreal, was situated near the site of the pre- sent English Cathedral. That part of Montreal now known as Ilochelaga is at least 2 miles from the site of the '' Old Original." A ride of 5 miles may be got on the street cars for 5 cents, and cars may bo changed, when necessary, without extra charge. A drive of over <J miles, from the Post Office to Mount Boyal Park and back, may be got for 25 cents. There are two observa- tories on Mount Royal. (renerally speaking, the principal streets of the city run from east to west, almost parallel to the Eivor St. Lawrence. The east end is the French and the west the English quarter. THE RIVER ST. LAVVRKNCE is 2,200 miles long. Its remotest source is tho St. Louis, a small stream falling into the upper end of Luke Superior. It is tho fourteenth longest river in the world, and the fifth longest river in America. From M(mtreal to (Quebec, a distance of 172 miles, its width varies from 1 to 2 miles; from a short distance below Quebec to tho Gulf of St. Lawrence, it varies from 10 to 35 miles in width. Half way between Montreal and Quebec it widens out into Luke St. Peter, which is 20 miles long and 9 wide. Jacques Cartier saileil for the first time on the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the 10th of August. 1535, and that being St. Law- rence Bay, he named that body of water in honor of the saint, and the Gulf and River St. Liiwronce have been known by that name ever since. At Quebec the river rises 14 feet, but it ceases to be observed at the lower end of Lake St. Peter. The depth of the river is so great, that Quebec was one of the few ports in America which the ''Great Eastern" was able to visit. i8 montrf;ai, and vicinity. HOTELS. For first claws hotels Montreal is second to no other city in Ame- rica. The Windsor Hotel, Dominion Square, is the largest and grandest hotel, not only in Montreal, but in the whole Dominion. It is on the finest ^ite in the city, near the new C. P. R. and G. T. R. depots. It is within a stone's throw of the principal churches in ' the city, and close to the famous Mount Royal Park. The Classic Rotunda of the hotel, grandly frescoed, and its beautiful stained glass windows, is well worth a visit from all tourists passing through our beautiful city. In the evenings the Rotunda of the Windsor is always like a stock exchange where business men meet to talk business or hear the news. The Balmoral Hotel, opened in 188(3, is a first class hotel, with all modern conveniences. It is near the C. P. R. and the G. T. R. depots and the wharf of the Upper Canada boats. Under the management of the new proprietoi<, Mr. Smith, the Balmoral is fast making a a reputation as <me of the best hotels in Canada. Tiie St. Lawrence Hall is the oldest established first class hotel at present existing in Montreal. It is in the heart of the business centre of the city, adjoining the General Post Office, and has been so well knowMi to the public for so many ^'ears that it needs no recom- mendation. With such three hotels as the Windsor, the Balmoral and the Hall a traveller will make no mistake in going *^o either. The other principal hotels in Montreal are the Richelieu Hotel, the Albion Hotel, on McGdl street; the Canada Hotel, St. Gabriel street ; the Jacques Cartier Hotel, Jacques Cartier Square ; the New York House, on Lagauchetie/o street; and the St. James Hotel, opposite the Grand Trunk depot. CHURCHES. After the stranger has fixed on an hotel to stop in, the first point of attraction in Montreal is the churches. Montreal is noted for the number of churches it contains, as well as for the number of its charitable institutions. There are at present 76 churches in Montreal, or one church for every 2,800 people. Of these 20 are Roman Catholic, 18 Presbyterian, 14 l^]piscopal, 1 Reformed Epis- copal, 12 Methodist, 8 Congregational, 4 Baptist, 1 Swedenborgian, or New Jerusalem Church, 1 United Free Churc , 1 Lutheran or German Protestant Church, 1 Unitarian, and 3 Jewish Synagogues. There are seven Protestant churches in which the services are con- ducted in the French language. MONTREAL AND VICINITY. 19 me- and lion. C.E. es in assic lined ough iOT is talk thall lepots 3ment dng a Mark Twain remarked at the Windsor once, that he never saw so many churches within a stone's throw of each other betbre. St. Peter's (Cathedral, properly speaking the Cathedral of St. James, being its patron saint, now in course of construction on Dominion Spuare, demands first attention. It is being built after the model of St. Peter's at Rome, of which, generally speaking, it is about half the dimensions. The foundation of it was laid in 18G8. The dimensions of St. Peter's at Rome are : length, 615 feet ; breadth, 286 feet, and height, 435 to the top of the dome. The following are the dimensions of St. Peter's of Montreal, copied from the figures on the plan of the cathedral, very kindly given for that purpose to the compiler of this little book, by gentle- men in actual charge of the construction. The exact height to the top of the cross is 258 i'eet, that is, 240 feet to the top of the dome, and the cross being 18 feet high, makes the entire height 258 feet. The breadth of the cross is 12 f^et. It weighs 1,500 lbs. The stone work is 132 feet high. Above this is the dome, 108 feet of wood work, with the jjross, 18 feet high, fixed on the top. The extreme length of the building is 333 feet exterior and 295 feet interior. The The greatest breadth is 222 feet exterior, and 21() interior general breath is 150 feet. The general thickness of the wall is between three and four feet. The foundation wall is eight feet thick and eight feet deep below the surface. The circumference of the outside of the dome is 240 feet. The view of the city from the dome excels by far every other view in the city. The parish church of Notre Dame, erroneously called the French Cathedral, stands upon Place d'Armes. Notre Dame Street (the coldest spot in Montreal at all seasons of the .year). It is built after the model of Notre Dame (Our Lady) in Paris. It holds 10,000 people comfortably, and when crowded, as it often is, it has been known to hold 15,000 people. The length of the church is 255 feet, and the breadth 134 feet. The two principal towers are 227 feet high. The Bourdon bell, the largest in America, weighs 24,780 lbs. and cost $25,000. It is 8 feet 7 inches in diameter, and 6 feet 9 inches high. It is 1 foot thick. The clapper weighs 860 lbs. Be- sides this enormous bell there are ten other bells, which, when rung, as on great occasions, make very agreeable chimes. It requires eighteen men to ring them all at once. It is stated that the entire church cost over $6,000,000. It is the largest ecclesiastical edifice in America, except the cathedral of Mexico. The church of Notre Dame de Lourdes, built in 1874, for the purpose of illustrating the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, I ti I'll m r 1 20 MONTREAL AND VICINITY. is the most beautiful church in the city. The aclorution of the Virgin under this name dates from the 11th February, 1858, when it is stated that the Blessed Yirgin appeared to a young shepherdess fourteen years of age, named Bernadette Soubirous, at the Grotto of Massabielle, on the banks of the river Gave, near the town of Lourdes (Loord), in the diocese of Tarbes, on the Upper Pyrenees, in the south-west of France, 580 miles from Paris. It is stated that the Blessed Virgin appeared to this girl eighteen times, and told her that "she was the Immaculate Conception," and sent a message by her to the clerg}", to tell them to build a chapel for her on that rock. It is also further stated that she revealed a secret to her, which she told her not to make known, it U also further stated that water, with healing qualities, gushed out of the rock at that time, and continued to flow ever since. In the basement of Notre Dame de Lourdes, at Montreal, is a fac-simile of the Grotto at Lourdes, which strangers interested in such things should not fail to visit. Lourdes at present is a well-known place of pilgrimage. Lourdes is noted for it^ excellent chocolate and is in the neighbor- hood of the best mineral springs of the Pyrenees, (5Vnna T. Sadliers, Wonders of Lourdes). The church of Notre Dame de Bonsecours (Our Lady of Good Help) is the oldest church in the city, being erected in 1771. Of the other Eoman Catholic churches, the most interesting to tourists and others are : the Jesuits' Church, on Bleury Street ; St. Patrick's Church, on St. Alexander Street; Notre Dame de Naza- reth ; and the Church of St. James. PEOTESTANT CHURCHES. Christ Church Cathedral (Episcopal), on St. Catherine Street, is said to be the flnest specimen of gothic architecture in North Ame- aica. St. George's Church, and the Church of St. James the Apostle are the next in importance of the P]piscopal Churches in point of architecture. St. George's (Low Church) is the largest Protestant Congregation in Montreal, The Methodists can now boast of having one of the grandest churches in Montreal in St. James Church, on St. Catherine Street. Of the Presbyterian churches. Crescent Street Church, St. Paul's Church, and the American Presbyterian Church receive the most attention for architecture. St. Gabriel Street Presbyterian Church is the oldest existing Protestant Church in Canada. It was erected in 1792. e ^ Stan corner Itighla service service real fr( with th The^ the kin Square.

Victoria Bridge, the longest bridge in the world, at the time of its erection w^as consiilered the eighth wonder of the world. Jt is If miles long between stone work and 2 miles long including ^toue work approaches. It is made of twenty-tive tubes, suppoi'ted by twenty-four piers, and the two end abutments. The lower side of the centre tube is sixty feet al)Ove the summer level otl the River St. Lawrence. It was erected in 1859 by James Hodges, from the designs of Robert Stephenson and Alexander M. Ross. It was formally opened by the Prince of Wales in 1860. The height from the bed of the river to the top of the centre tube is 108 feet. The greatest depth of water during the summer season is about 22 feet, but in the spring the water sometimes rises over 20 feet above the summer level of the river. In the spring of 1880 the water rose 25 feet above the average summer level. The centre has an elevation of about 20 feet above the ends, The current at the bridge runs at the rate of seven miles an hour. The bridge cost over $0,000,000. It belongs to the Grand Trunk Railway Company. Trains generally take from tour and halftotive minutes to cross the bridge. It took five and one-half years to build it. THE LACHINE CANAL is 8f miles long, and overcomes a total rise of 45 feet. It has five locks, 270 feet long and 45 feet wide. Vessels drawing twelve feet of water can |)ass through it. The i !•;■ (.1 i n width of the canal varies from 163 to 208 feet. The first ground was broken at Lachine on the 17th of July, 1821. WATER WORKS.— The water of the city is taken from, the River St. LaAvrence, about a mile above the Lachine Rapids, at a point 37 feet above the summer level of the harbor of Montreal. One branch of the aqueduct ntartn at that point, and another branch starts from a point a little over half a mile above. Both unite and form a canal about five miles long to the wheel house, at the west end of the city, From the wheel house the water is pumped to the large reservoir, on the side of the mountain, a distance of about three miles. The large reservoir, dug out of the solid rock, is 200 feet above the level of the St. Lawrence. It is 810 feet long by 377 wide, and 24 feet deep. It has a capacity of 36J millions of gallons. From the large reservoir the water that supplies the city above Sherbrooke Street is pumped to a smaller reservoir 70 yards further up, on the side of the mountain. The Water Works of the city cost $6,000,000, THE LACHINE RAPIDS are about seven miles above Montreal, and about two miles below the town of Lachine. The Rapids ex- tend about half a mile in length between Heron Island on the north and Devil's Island on the south. During the summer season trains leave Bonaventure Depot 7.55 a.m. and 5 p.m., to connect with the boats shooting the Rapids in the morning and evening. The round trip may be made in about two hours. Opposite Lachine is the Indian village of Caughnawaga, where a remnant of the Mohawk tribe of Iroquois are settled upon a reserve. These Indians are famous for their skill in boating, so that when the British Govern- ment, v^ 1884, seiiX ^ boat expedition up the cataracts of the Nile, for the relief of Khartoum, a gang of fifty Caughnawagas were sent to lead the expedition, and how satisfactorily they performed their task is known to all who took an interest in the history of these times. r BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS, &c., TEMPLE CHAMBERS, 23 TORONTO STREET, TORONTO, ONT- MONTREAL AND VICINITY. 23 city overn- Nile, e Bent their these ET, PAEKS AND SQUAEES. Mount Eoyal, so called by Jacques Cartier, on his tirst visit to Canada, 1535, in honor of the King of France, rises" over 700 feet above the level of the Eiver St. Lawrence, The mountain park covers 430 acres of ground. A tine view of the city and surround- ing country may be got from the summit. Looking southward across the river, the tirst mountain to the left is Montarville; seven pretty lakes {'^3 concealed in the recesses of this mountain. Next is Belceil mountain (or St. Hilaire), with the ruins of a chapel on the summit. A depression in the midst of this mountain is occupied by a lake of singular clearness and depth. Next is Eougemont, almost concealing the Yamaska mountain behind it ; and to the right the conical shape of Mount Johnson, or Monoir, sharply breaks above the level surface. In the far distance are to be seen the green mountains of Vermont to the left and the Adirondacks, in New York, to the right. The cemeteries may be mentioned in connection with Mount Eoyal Park, of which they now form a part. The tirst Catholic Cemetery was situated at Place d'Armes, and the Protestant Cemetery was located were St. James and St. Peter Streets meet. As the city ex- tended, the Eoman Catholic Cemetery was removed to Dominion Square, and the Protestant Cemetery to Dutferin Square, on Dor- chester Street east. There was also a Civil and Military Cemetery on Papineau road; and linally they were all removed to their pre- sent location. In the Eoman Catholic Cemetery the ascent to Mount Calvary by the 14 stations ot the cross appeals to the devotion of Eoman Catholics, and interests Protestants as being a feature not met with in the cemeteries usually visited. St. Helen's Island, now used as a public park, is the most popular place for picnics in the city. The island is named after H^l^ne Boull^, Champlain's wife, the tirst European lady that came to Canada. It was used for many years by the British Grovernment as a depot for mihtary stores and a station for troops. The fort and barracks still remain. Viger Square, or as it is popularly called, Viger Garden, in St. Denis Street. The Champ-de-Mars, upon Craig Street, is a tine exercise ground for troops. Jacques-Cartier Square, near the City Hall and Court House, has a fine outlook upon the river, A column, surmounted by a statue of Lord Nelson, is placed at the head of the square. It was erected I. r 1 24 MONTRKAL AND VKINITY. % in 1808 liy the merolu.nts of Montreal, Hhortly after the death of the Admiral at Trafaluar. Victoria S(|uare at the junction of St. Jarhes and McGill Streets', is on the ^ite of the old hay market. The name \vaH changed in 18tl0, in honour of the Queen, on the occasion of the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada. Upon it is a colossal statute of the Queen, in bronze, by Marshal Wood, an Knglish artist. Dominion S([uare is the tinest square in the city as to site. Till late years it was known as the Catholic Cemetery. The Windsor Hotel, St. Peter's Catheilral, and several other churches, give it im- ]X)rtance architecturally*. (See list of streets, etc.) Place d'Armes (so called on account of a battle that was once fought here with the Indians), the site of the tirst Eoman Catholic Cemetery in Monti'cal, is opposite Notre Dame Church ; it is sur- rounded on all sides by important buildings. This is said to be the coolest spot in Montreal at all seasons of the year. PxiBLIC BUILDINGS. The principal public buildings are: — the Court House, Bonsecours Market (should be visited on a Tuesday or Friday), the Custom House, the Examining Warehouse, the new City Hall, the Harbor Commissioners' Building, Inland Revenue Office, the office of the Board of Arts and Agriculture, and the Exhibition Buildings and Grounds, Mile End. RAILWAY STATIONS. Montreal hae three of the best railway stations on the continent, all new. The Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railway have Bonaventure and Windsor stations in the west end of the city, and the Canadian Pacific Railway has also Dalhousie Station in the east end for the Quebec line. The Grand Trunk Railway depot at Bona- venture, or St. James Street, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Sta- tion, on Windsor Street, should be visited by any one who has time. The order and discipline around Bonaventure Depot is very credit- able to Mr. O'llara who spares no pains to have everything right and leave every body satisfied. BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS, Montreal is as remarkable for the number and variety of its phi- lanthropic institutions as it is for the number of its churches. Every national society has its "home" for those of its own nationality. MONTRKAL AND VICINITY. 25 hi- The St. George'M Society for English, St. Andrew's for Scotch, St. Patrick's for the Catholic Irish, the Irish Benevolent Society for Protestant Irish, the German Society for Germans and St. John the Baptist's for French-Canadians, The social organization of Montreal is so composite, that in orderto work well, many institutions require to be triplicate at best. Race and language divide the French from the English and Irish, and religion divides the English from the French and Irish ; and the Irish are subdivided by religion, so that they require two separate national benevolent societies. The following are the principal institutians : — Montreal General Hospital, founded in 1822. The Protestant House of Industry and Eefuge. The Mackay Institute for Protestant deaf mutes. The Montreal Dispensary. The Ladies' Benevolent Institution. The Protestant Infants' Home. Protestant Orpan Asylum. Thellervey Institute. Women's Protective Immigration Society. The Uni- versity Maternity Hospital. The Western Hospital. Another institution, the want of which has been felt for a long time, and would be a credit to the City and Province if free from debt, the Protestant Hospital for the Insane at Verdun, 3 miles west of Montreal, is now completed. Grey Nunnery, corner of Guy and Dorchester Streets. This is not a convent, as some erroneously suppose, it is simply a general hos- pital, under the management of the Grey Nuns. The name "Grey Nuns" was tirst given them in derision. The malicious reports circulated against the ladies, especially that of their " furnishing the Indians with alcohol, and making too free a use of it themselves," gave rise to the epithet "Soeurs Grises" (Grey Nun^^), the word grise (grey) bearing a double meaning in French, viz., a grey color, or tipsy. The peculiar dress worn by the sisterhood of that order was adopted by them for the tirst time in August, 1755, seventeen years after the foundation of the order. The order was founded in I'TSS, the tirst list of members being Mme. d'Youville, with three pious companions and four or tive infirm poor. In the year 1*747, the management of the old General Hospital of Ville-Marie, founded in 1694, was given to the sisters of this order. During <he year of tLe ship fever in 1847-8, these sisters took a leading part in their attendance on suffering humanity at that time. This institution has about 800 inmates, between nuns and patients. Although visitors are always welcome, twelve o'clock noon is the time that is best for visitors to call, as special prepations for the reception of visitors are made then. I /"I 26 MONTRKAL AND VICINITY. On a little spot of ground (neatly fenced in) at Point St. Charles, near the end of the Victoria Bridge, is an enormous stone, called the Immigrant's Memorial Stone, taken from the bed of the Eiver St. Lawrence, and erected on a column of ntone work by the working men employed in the construction of the Victoria Bridge, bearing the following inscription : — "To preserve from desecration there- mains of 6,000 immigrants, who died of ship fever, A.D. 1847-8, this stone is erected by the workmen of Messrs. Peto, Brassoy and Betts, employed in the c<mstruction of the Victoria Bridge, A.D. 1859. The Hotel iJieu Hospital is the oldest institution of the kind in Montreal, being founded in 1G44, two years after the foundation of the city. It is under the management of the Black Nuns. It con- tains a hospital, a convent, and a church. Eighty of the sisters are cloistered, and do not go outside of the buildings and grounds. In the Notre Dame Hospital the manaj^ement is decidedly lioman Catholic, but it is opened for the relief of the sick and suffering of all creeds; and the patients have the privilege of sending for a clergyman ♦)f the denoniination they belong to. The sisters of the order of Asile de la Providence have eight ins- titutions under their charge at Montreal. They have also charge of the Insane Asylum at L n gue Point. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 198 St. James Street. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. The school laws for Montreal are in some respects peculiar. An assessment of one-iifth of one per cent, is levied annually upon all the real estate in the city, collected by the City Treasurer with the other taxes, and handed over to the two city boards of Protestant and Catholic School Commissioners. The tax on the property of Protestants goes to the Protestant Board, and that on the property of Catholics to the Catholic Board. One-third of the tax on Com- panies, etc., goes to the Protestant Schools, and two-thirds to the Catholic Schools. McGILL UNIVERSITY was founded by James McGill, a native of Grlasgow, Scotland, v/ho died in 1818, leaving $150,000 for the foundation of a College, to be called by his name. It is Protestant in its general character, but undenominational, all the leading Pro- testant denominations having like privileges in it. It has' over 500 students and 40 professors. It has four faculties, of Arts, Applied Science, Medicine, and Law. Being non-denominational, it has no MONTREAL AND VICINITY. «7 An all the tant of ',rty pom- the Itive the Itant *ro- 500 )lied no Theological Faculty, but it oflFers advantageous terms of affiliation to other Theological Colleges. It is affiliated with the Presbyterian, "Wesleyan, Congregational, and Anglican Diocesan Theological Col- leges at Montreal. It has also two affiliated colleges in Arts; Morrin College, Quebec, and St. Francis College, Eichmond. It is also affiliated with the McGill Normal School. The Presbyterian College of Montreal is entirely devoted to the training of missionaries and ministers speaking English, French, and Gtelic, in connection with the Presbyterian Church in Canada. The Montreal College and Grand Seminary, or the Seminary of St. Sulpice, on Sherbrooke Street West, has a large number of students and professors. There are two courses of study, one for the church and the other for a business course. Laval University. — What the McGill Univers«ity is to the English and Protestants of the Province, the University Laval is to the French Catholics. The chief seat of this institution is at Quebec. The establishment of Laval University at Montreal profoundly agitated the French community, and the matter does not seem to have been finally settled as yet. St. Mary's College, otherwise called the Jesuits' College, on Bleury Street, is under the management of the Jesuit fathers. Villa Maria Convent is the mother house of the order of Grey Nuns. It has accommodation for 1,000 nuns. The nuns of this order make an annual retreat here from all parts of the country. The building is better kno^^n to some under the name of Monklands. It was at one time the residence of the Governor-General of Canada. A fine view of this building is got sailing down the river on a clear day. The sisters of this order at present number about 800 professed sisters, 90 novices, 50 postulants, and about 20,000 pupils. The nuns of the order of the Sacred Heart have three establish- ments in Montreal. The home of the order is at Amiens, France. The Ilochelaga Convent is the mother house of the sisters of the order of the holy names of Jesus and Mary. The Veterinary College. — Montreal possesses a very important School of Veterinary Science, under the care of Principal McEach- ran. Students from a great distance come to attend this College. It has six professors besides the principal. Board of Art Schools. — These are free evening classes for draw- ing. The Montreal School has 300 pupils. i' I'" 28 MONrKKAI. AND Vl( IMI Y. SCIKXCM^:, LITKRATURE AND ARTS. Libraries. — The principal librurioH in Montreal are : The McGill College Library of 25,000 vols. The Aclvoeates' Library in the Court ll()ii(«e, 15,000 vols. Presbyterian Colle«j:c Library, 10,000 vols. The Meeanics' Institute has a very large library. There is a free publie library in the Fraser Institute, Dorchester Street. The Y. M. C. A. has a very good library, and a well suj)plied free read- ing room. TIII^: FINK ARTS. Music. — There are several musical societies in the city, but only two, the Mendelssohn Choir and Philarmonic Society are regularly organized. The Art Association. — This institution owes its existence to the late Bishop Fulford and the late Benaiah'iiibb. The Art Gallery is at the corner of St. Catherine Street and Phillips Square. The Natural History Sodety. — The Museum of this Society is on Univerttity Street near the English Cathedral. It is well worth a visit. Among the interesting articles to be seen there is the tirist hi' breech loading gun ever invented. It was sent out to this coun^ry by the French Government. It was used by the French in one cf their expeditions against the Indians of Lake Oka. The Indians attacked the canoe in which the cannon was placed and upset it. The cannon lay for a while in the bottom of the lake and one part of it was lost there and never found. The finest specimens of mummies to be seen in any museum may be seen there, some of them 8,500 years old without a hair of the head removed. It con- tains several valuable relics relating to Canadian history, and several articles of general interest too numerous to be mentioned, such as the scarf of Mary Queen of Scots, Egyptian sun dried brick, manufactured it is supposed at the time the children of Israel were in bondage there. The best collection extant of Canadian birds is to be seen there. AMUSEMENTS. Lacrosse. — This is the national game of Canada, practised by the Indians long previous to the arrival of Europeans. The two prin- cipal clubs are the Shamrock and Montreal Clubs. Matches are frequently played on Saturday afternoon on the grounds of these two club.-!.

Gymnasium. — The (fymnasium ot I he Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (M. A. A. A.), Metcalfe Street, is a very good and useful institution. The foUovvini^ kinds of amusements are also well represented in Montreal: — Cricket, Base Ball, Foot Ball, Curlin<^, Chess, Boating, Bicycling, Golf, Rucket, L:iwn Tennis. (Racing — Blue Bonnets about 5 miles west of Montreal and Lopine Park about 3 miles east •of Montreal are the principal places for this amusement, where vast crowds of pe')ple gather on a racing day.) Militia. — Volunteering is a favorite occupation of the young men of the city. There are six regiments of Infantry, one troop of Cavalry, one company of Engineers, one battery of Horse Artillery, and six batteries of Garrison Artillery. NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS. The newspapers and periodicals of Montreal, in English and French, are about fifty in number. There are five French and four English daily and ten French and eight English weekly news- papers. There are eight French and eleven English monthly and two English quarterly periodicals. The Gazette (Conservative) and Herald (Liberal) are the English morning papers. The Gazette is the oldest existing paper in the Dominion, being established in 1778. It was originally written in French, afterwards half French half English, and finally it was wholly issued in English. The Quebec Gazette, published in 1764, was the first paper priated in Canada. The Star is a general newspaper with a large circulation. It upholds British connection and advocates the building up of a Canadian Nationality. It was established in 1860. The Witness is a religious, political, temperance and comic paper. It advocates prohibition but opposes high license. It always op- poses Sir John McDonald, and at the last general election it took sides with anti-British party! 30 MONTRKAI, AND VICINITY.
