PRKFACE
'IIIC KKCKNT phenonunal j,'rowlh ami tin.' marvellous dcVLlopiiKiU of the trade and industry of
Toronto, together witli the increasing attraetions of the eity both as a place of residence and as the
metropolis of the Province, have led the Proprietors of Tin-; Mail to prepare a work of a somewhat
amhitious character which shall deal with the chief features of its local history and civic life. 'I'he
work which now a|)|iears. it is hoi)ed, will prove in some measure worthy of the occasion which it is
designed to commemorate, namely, the completion of the first century in the synchronous annals of
the Province and its Capital,
hough the scope of the volume, as its title indicates, is limited to Toronto, Old and New, the work
eriy lays claim to more than local support. It does so for two valid reasons; hirst, because the annals
' citv. as we all know, begin, run parallel with. and. to a large eMent. are really those of Ontario ; and.
llv, because Toronto, from its metropolitan character, has now become the focus of the Province, and
people in all parts of il take a live interest in its affairs, look to it in the main for their intellectual
■nance, and feel a just pride in the status to which it has attaine<l and the promise of greatness which
still before it. How large a space Toronto tills in the records of our young ( 'ommonweahh. few even of
ti-^ens stop to think. Take its history out of >he chroniile of the n.itional life of Pritish Canada iTid
much of political, induslri.d. and so< ial interest udu'u be gone. What is true of the national is true also of the civic annals
of the Provincial Capital. Let any old resident recall the successive aspect of things in the local ernironnient of his life, and
how much will he have t<> tell in the city's praise. lUit Toronto is not only endeared to us by the history of the past, and by
the associations which cluster round its social ai.d civic life. It has a real and practical |>resent day mtercst. which grows with
every year of its corporate growth as well as with every stride in its industrial and commercial ilevelopment. Nor is the story,
important as it is in its material aspects, without its human interest ; for behind the money are the toilers who have made it, and
within the institutions, factories, and' warehouses are ihe forces of brain and muscle that make for its acli\ities. .\or ha\e
these forces alone found development in the fields of industry and trade. Other and higher lields have enlisted their service,
and to their beneficent operation the city owes much of its intellectual and moral advancement.
Of these various matters. Toronto, Old niiJ Nfit: endeavours succinctly but graphically to treat, .\iming at being a
thoroughly representative volimie, it deals with most of the various forces and activities that have made Toronto a vast com-
nierci.d emporium, a great railway centre, the literar) "hub" of the Dominion, the Mecca of tourists, an l-^piscopal and .\rchie-
piscopal See, and the ecclesiastical headcpiarlers of many denomiii.itions, the seat of the l.iw courts, the ProviiK ial l.egislatnri',
the imiversilies. colleges, and great schools of learning. \\ hile it has given prominence to trade and commerce, and dealt
with the banks and other monetary institutions, the loan and insurance companies, and the mamifactories and larger importing
and tr.uling houses, it has devoted no little of its space to the v.nious professions, setting forth their rise and growth in the
community and given some account of the men who have risen to eminence iii' them. Interest in this, as in the other
biographical departments of the work, it is hoped, has been enhanced by the gallery of portraits; while the historical and
descriptive sections have, it is believed, been enriched by the many views of the streets, churches, villas, residences and public
buildings which the volume contains.
The ilesign has been to make the book an important .uul pleasing exposition of the principal phases of Toronto's com-
mercial and industrial as well as social and iiUellectn;d life, and, if possible, ;i worthy tribute to the genius ;md nation-building
iiualities ol her toiling sons. In carrying out this purpose the present writer gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to the
Proprietors of Tin- M mi., to whose enter'iri .e ;nul public spirit any success the volume may meet with will be entirely due. 'To
the Rev. Henry Scadding, I). I)., the vener, ble chronicler of Karly Toronto, he is particularly beholden for the introduction,
tthi( h, coming from so interesting a source, will doubtless be specially valued by the reader.

INIkODUCl'ION
IIV TFIK Ki;V. IIKNKV SCAIIIUM;, D.D.
THIC \ OI.UMIC here presented siiiijilies the reader with a lively picture of the devclopiiient of a city from its first germ
to lull eflloresceiice, a consiimiiiatioii reached in the comparatively brief space of less than ten decades, destined it
is hoped to he maintained perennially by theconlimied "Iiuhistry, Intelligence and Integrity" of its inhabitants in all
time to come. There is im,i a city, town or village of the Province of Ontario which might not, had the proper
precautions been taken years ago, have a like record of itself.
The fault has been the non-establishment at in early period, of a i)ioneer and historical society for every county of
the Province, associations of intelligent |,crsons taking a real interest in the first foundations of settlements, zealous to collect
and put on record minute particulars relative thereto. In the absence of such societies important document.s, plans and diagrams
of much local interest arc continually lost, and characteristii' narratives and anccilotes of enterprising men p.i.ss wholly into
oblivion. Something has been done in the direction of forming such societies In the Counties of V'ork, Peel, Wentworth,
Welland, and Lincoln, but it is important that the practice should become general throughout the Province. ICvery city, town,
and village would then have it in its power, from lime to time, to report progress in regard to itself in as (ileasing and satisfaitory
a manner as the Capital of the Province is enabled to do in the present volume. It is singular to observe in the works which
some years .ago were much in vogue, descriptive of ideal commonwealths and cities, that amidst all their arrangements, a
provision for the maintenance of a standing record of the kind suggested is lacking. In a land like this, where in the future
new communities are likely continually to be coming into existence, on more or less ideal principles, care should be taken to
supply the omission.
The .New World has been a field for making many expei.ments, having in view the material and moral advan<'emcnt of
mankind, from the days of the Jesuits in Paraguay down to those of loseph .Smith, at Nauvoo, and Brigham N'oung, at .Salt
Lake City. Unfortunately, extravagances characterize many of these efforts; fanatii ism, superstition and a subtle though
unconscious selfishness have led to failures which it might be supposed every reasonable man would have foreseen. On the
other hand, where the more moderate priniiples that usually guide ordinary mortals have been followed, as amongst ourselves
and other off-shoots of the ISritish stock on this continent, many examples of a very fair degree of success arc to be met with.
Ill this category, loronto may be cla.s.sed.

now the fair City of 'roroiito, tlie startled onlookers were a floek of wild fowl and a
(■nii|ile of families of ilie Cliildren of the Wood. At the time we speak of, in tli ■
lieaiiliful basin of Toronto Harbour, if we except thi' noiseless movements durinj; the
hours of day of one or two Mississ;iga Indians, solitude reigned supreme. When the
sun went down even Nature became still. .\s night fell upon the siene, the pines
ceased their n.oaning, and nought was heard save the occasional splash of beaver or
mus(|uash in the waters of the forest-screened harbour, or the cry of the wood-duck as it
took (light for its evening haunt In the recesses of the wood.s. Hut the year 1793,
whi( h we are aicustomed to speak of as that of the founding of the capital of Ontario,
was what may be called the nie>!ia;val era in 'Toronto's annals, for the place had an
earlier history. 'This history is spread over the fateful period of the dominion of f'rance
in Canada, in connection with her commene with the Indians and with the thrilling
story of the Jesuit Missions.
Ilie early years of the seventeenth century were big with enterpriM' and M,;:'hil of results lor the American Continent.
Maritime adventure then sought on the .\tlantic the field which had hitherto been monopolized by the .Meiliterranean ; the
New World for the first time saw a fringe of colonies fa.sten upon its coasts. In 1(107, X'irginia was coloni/ed by Sir
Walter Raleigh; in irio.S, Champl.iin foundeil (,)uebec. and in the following year New \'ork was settled by the Dutch. 'I'o
these settlements, in i6jo, was added that
of .Massachusetts, after the historic landing
of the I'ilgrim I''alhers. from the I'reiich
col<iny al (,)uebec came the first attempt to
penetrate the Conlriunt, though the Dulih
soon made their wa\ up the Hudson, and
established a trading post at Orange (.Mbam ).
New N'ork State at this period was the lair
o!' the Iioi|uois, while Canada, in the m.iiii,
was the lumling ground of the .\lgou(|uins
and Unrolls. The .\lgon(|uins were scat-
tered along llie banks of the St. Lawrence
and the ( Itlaw.i, while the home of the
Hurons or W yandols was the country King
immediately to the north of Toronto and
skirting the waters of the lake that bears
their name. Iletweeii the Hurons and their
ileadlv enemy, the IriKpiois, lay the Neutrals,
a nation that with the Huron tribe the coii-
f .'deracy of the Irixiuois was ere long to wipe
out of existence. In 1615, Champlain, with
his Jesuit fi.llowuig, made his eventful voyage IIoKrieci.rcKAi. Gaiu.kns.

which led to the partial opening u;> ol ic later province of
L'pper ( '.iiiada. though it was ever and anon retardeil by the
rivalry of the ICnglish of the seaboard. In pursuit of the fur trade, that great source of wealth to the people of both
nations, these trails to the West became avenues of commerce which it was important for the French to hold and for the
Knglish to obstruct or strive t ) obtain. 'I'o conserve the trade for the I-'rench crown, a number of forts were early established
in the West, which hail 1-roiiteiiac (Kingston) as their base of supply. .\s trade expanded and rivalry grew keener, l-'orl Rouillc
(Toronto) was erected in 17411 to guard the jiassage by the River Unniber. This stockade received its name from the I'rench
Colonial Minister of the period, .\ntoine I.ouis RouiUe, Count de Jouy. It stood on the lake shore, about midway between
the (iarrlson Creek, at tlie western entrance of tiie li.irbour, 'id the Humber, and m.ay practically be spoken of as the first
germ of the City of Toronto. Through the iiistriimeiualily of the Rev. I )r. Scadding, the venerable historiographer of the
city, a memorial column has been erected to mark the original site of the l-'ort. It stands at tlie south-west angle of the
Kxhibition (irounds. near the
exit to the wharf.
On the south side of
Lake Ontario the Trench had
already a fort at Niagar.i. while

Of the iniportanee of the tradnig post which guarded " the pass by Toronto," and which now historically disappears,
there is on record the statement of Sir William Jolinstm, enil)odie(l in a despatch on Indian afl'airs to the ICarl of Shelhnrne,
that for the monoply of a season's traile with ine Indians at I'ort Roiiille, could the post be restored, traders would be willing
to give as much as a thousand pounds I
Such was the value attached in 1767 to the trade of "the pass by ToroiU.o. ' a value which its location and other
advantages were increasingly to heighten, anil a quarter of a century afterw.irds was to be turned to fresh account.

\'I'A rs were now about to bring into greater prominence, not only the historic "pass by
Toronto," but the region through which the Indian trail led northwards to the waters of Lake
Huron, the virgin .site of 'Toronto itself, and the beautiful harbour that lay near to the
southern outlet of " the I'ass," the reeili'o\ered delta of the Ilumber. T'rom the Tall of
(Quebec and the period of the <lisinantling of T'ort Rouille, a generation in the haunts of men
was to |iass aw.iy ere we again hear of Toronto, or see sign of renewed life and activity in
its neighboiirhoo<l. Nature was fast resuming its sway over the place, and the little clearing
round the trading post was again being gi\en uji to solitude. .Meanwhile, the drama of life
was proceeding elsewhere, and ihrougb the scattered colonies of the continent there ran the
pulsations of a i|uickeneil e\istence. The previous chapter ended with thi' close of Trench
rule in Canada: this opens with a new era of (olonial history in .\merica. T'.uropean
settlements in the New WorM had hitherto
mainly been lor trade ; now they partook
of the character of, and felt the desire to be,
a nation. 'The days of great privileged com-
panies, with their huge land grants aiul re-
strictive monopolies, had passed, and the
ties, commercial ,inil political, between the
Mother Country and the colonies were al-
ready being sundered. Ilritains dream <if emprise over the New World had
been fully realized, and the trading-classes of the " tight little sea-girt isle"
threw up theii laps when she became mistn-ss of the Western Continent.
Hut while she had bravely coni|iiere<l, she could not wisely hold. Her wars
in the Old World had financially crippled her, and she looked to the New to
have her coffers relilled. .Nor was the desire altogether unnatural. The
public debt of l''.ngland had been piled up largely im account of her colonies,
and it seemed reasonable that with their growth and prosperity return should
in some measure be made to the Mother Country for what they had cost her.
Hut how and in what shape was this to be returned to her? To lay heavier
duties on her own imports would be to ta\ herself, not the colonies. To
lay them on the colonies, Lnglish statesmen never dreameil would lead to
revolt. To tax the carrying trade was first attempted, and when thi.s wa.s

preferred de.ith to disgrace, on which accoimt he was imnicdi.itely

there can be little (piestion as to the hardships thev
endured in abaniloning their e-.i.ites in wh.it w.is com-
parative civili/ation for a home in tin- inhospitable wilds
of the trackless forest. I'ew of their •limber, it mav
be. who, for the sake of a principle, had the c (iiirage to
prefer instant de.ith rather than be untrue to their ion-
victions : though many are known to have taken their
I'hances of life or death with the liritish troops in the
varying fortunes of the war. How many after the close
of the ( onllict preferred expatriation to living in a
country that had won inde))endence through rebellion,
history is here to attest ; and these were the men who
were to form the brawn and imisi le. the niinil and heart
of the new settlements of .Vcadia and Canada. True,
the Loyalists rei'eived large gifts of the soil in the new
land to which they had come, as some compensation tor
their losses ; but these grants were such as anv class of

settlers would lie likely to receive unikr any politic
system of inmiigration. And as to the money appropriation by the C'rown on their behalf, in view of what work lay before
them as pioneers of a new and unopened country, ;uid deprived as they were of almost everything their previous toil had
secure<l to them, no generous mind will cavil at, or say that, considering their need, it was not richly their due.
With the peace of 178,^, which the I'reaty of \ersailles secured, bands of Loyalists entered Canaila from various points,
and settled ill the neighbourlKjod of Niagara, round the shores of Lake Ontario, up the liay of (Juiiite, down the St. Lawrence,

^1 l\'\\ the establishment, in 1791, of Upper Canada as a separate Trovince, Sir Ciuy C.irleton, now
'" Lord I )orchester the ( lovernor (leneral of the colonv had Kingston in view as the Provincial
metropolis. How Toronlo, or rather \'ork, as it came for a time to be called, won the honour
of being the capital, we shall presently see. .Meantime let 11s take a glance at wh.it had been
transpiring in Canada since the Con(|uest. With the addition of New I'lance to the Colonial
I'aiipire of Uritain, the Mother Country took over an element of some perpK\ity. in a pi'ople she
found it dilViciilt to assimilate with her own n.ilioiialitv. I'rance in the New Worlil not only
spoke another language, but she
had peculiar laws of her own, and
a religioiiwhich. though it had been
that of the country from the time
of Champlain, was not that of her
new rulers. ICngland's policy, of
course, was to make it as easy ns
possible to incorporate the l''rench-Canadians int<i the national
system. l''or a time it was necessary to resort to military rule,
but this indeed, if we except that of the Church, was the only
rule the I'rench ( 'olony had hitherto known. With military rule,
however, courts of judicature were constituted for the hearing and
determining of all causes, criminal as well as ci\il, with liberty
of appeal, under the usual restrictions, to the Crown. L'nfortunatilv, though the laws were administered in the justcst manner,
and with due regard to the feelings of a people who were unfamiliar with the forms of liritish justice, the hreiich, under
the (^)iiebec .\ct of 1774, had restored to them the "custom of I'aris," a code of civil law which existed prior to the Compiest.
This privilege, with guarantees for the maintenance of their language and their religion, and the system of seignorial tenure on
which they were permitted to hold their lands, the I'rench Canadians have continued to eiijov to the present day. To the
l'',nglish who had .settled in the country the concession gave instant and just offence, as it was a violation of the ordinance
of I 764, securing the administration of Ivnglish law, and on the
faith of which numbers of Isnglish-speaking people had taken ii|i
residence in Canada. In some respects, however, the concession
was a politii' one, as, though it jilaced the l''.nglish minority at a
dis.idvantage, it strengthened the attachment of l-'rench Canada
to the liritish Crown, an object at the time of no little moment,
in view of the disaffection among the ICnglish colonies on the
seaboard, and their subseciuent revolt. In other respei'ts the
measure was good, namely, in its removal of the d' labilities from
Roman Catholics, as. among other benefits conferred, it gave a
legal sanction to their religion an act of toleration whic h it took
I'.ngland many years to extend to the same communion in the

Canada. It i-oiisisted of an Upper House of seven members, appointed by the Crown for life, and a Lower llmi.se of sixteen
inemhers, to be elected by the peopk-. I'Ik- latter were chosen, in the main, from the fanning and trading classes, the profes-

sensibly met the re(|uireineiits of the coimiry. One of its earliest mea.sures was the introduction of the Civil Law of I-jigland
ami trial by jury. ( Itlur measures made provision lor the erection of court-houses, jails, and such other public buildings as
were re(|uired in the various districts into which the I'rovince was at the time divided.

Ihroughuut the lirief period of Simcoe's governorship, we see tr.ices of the military rather than of the civil admuustrator.
It was the civilian and his family he sent into the backwoods, and he gave to the old soldiers grants of land in the front

town plot he locates, with the Court House and Parliament liuildings, at a sale .liMance Irom the enlr.ince mto the
harhour, and the latter he |)rotects by Mock-houses on Cibraltar Point and at the mouth of the Carnson Creek.
In his communications witli the authorities at (Jtiebec. he speaks of sending them " some observations
on the military strength and naval convenieiue of Toronto, now NOrk. whiih I propose immediately
to occupy. " In writing also to the Secretary of W .u' in I'aiglaiul, we lind him rem.irking that " Nork

.Meanwhile, however, the civic growth of \'ork went on ap.tce. I'he
work of I. lying out the town rapidly advanced. " 'The town-plot, as delined
at this time," observes our antiipiary. Dr. Scadding,'* "was a compact little
liarallelogram, bounded on the west by Cieorge Street, on the east by Ont.nio

streets th.it still rel.iin their original names. The loy.il mon.nchical character
of the (iovernor appears in nearly every one of
these street names, as also in the names given to
other streets, as well as in the name of the town
itself. The main thoroughfare was King Strict ;
the ne\t street par.dlel to it on the north was
Duke Street ; the street north of th.it Duchess

was I'reilerick Street, and the street following

without specifying them. ( Intario Street indicated
the tr.ick which, doubtless from time immemorial,
led down to the cmoe I, Hiding nearest to the

e\|uilitions through the Province, to make hiinself aecniaiiiled with the appearance of the coimtry and have an eye to the wants

of life was occasionally varied hy the

liy the (loveriior's lavish hospitalities
at Navy Hall or under his fannnis

of conversation woiilil then turn on
Kepiihlicanism and the revolted Col-
onies, against which the newly-formed
Province was to he a liiilu.irk and
wall of defence. Lnliappily for (he
Province and its capital, it would
seem these talks of the (lovernor
were far from pacific, and lest he
might emhroil the King's (iovernment

Willi what devotion and sturdv fidelity he bad served the King in his new Proviine of L'ppcr ( 'anaila. there is hardly need
here to tell. .\s we have said of him elsewhere, he gave the Colony his every thought, and worked resolutely to put it on its

be likely to predict what the city would become before a hundred years had elapsed. As yet the chroniclings of the Official
(iazette do not in(li<ate a very fast growing
town. 'I'he press of the period is chielly
burdened with the records of the going and
coining of the Ciovernor or acting (iovernor, ^^^^|i^^|^^B'^b^^ ^^^^^H^H^^^HP^ ^.
and the movements of the (lovernmeiU
schooners on the lake, as they carried to
and fro, on the business of the Crown, the
law-officers of the I'rovince, and such naval
aiKJ military magnates as were in this part of
the world on His Majesty's service. Among
the latter, in iSo,5, was the Duke of Kent,
uncle of Her Present .Majesty, who, on paying
the I'rovince a second visit, was entertained
at \'ork, we le.irn, by (ieneral the Hon.
.l''.neas Shaw, one of the I'roviiicial (iovenior's
( 'oiincillors. .\ still Liter arri\al was the
Hon. l-'raiicis (lore, who lor some years was
to figure in I'roviiicial history as l.ieutenaiU-
Ciovernor. During his administration, both
N'ork and the I'rovince continued to advance
ill settlemeiil. Parliament voted sums for
the construction of roads and bridges, and
made consiilerable effort to open up new-
sections of the couiury. Postal ficilities
were also increased, and communication with
Lower Canailaand the outer world bec.ime
more practicable. .\t this .time, we learn,
the mail between Montre.il and N'ork was
brought at lengthened intervals, on the backs
of pedestrians, while the number of post
olVices in the two Pnninces was then under
twenty.
With all the disadvantages, societv at
the c.ipital. however, grew apace. In iSo,},
a weekly public market was established in
the town, and in the following year was
erected "the church at N'ork " the first
" meeting house for I'lpiscopalians," as it was
for a lime termed, which siibseciuently blos-
somed out into the Calhedr.il of .St. James. •'■^"^''^ .Strkkt. Lookixi; Noktii (East .Sii.k).
Its first ( leigyinan was the Rev. (1. Okill Stu.irt, who alterwards became an archdeacon in the Church, and for a time was
master of the Home District School at Vork. In the reconls of both church .ind school, Canadian .sociologists will meet with
the names of many estimable citizens who, v iih their families and their descendants, have been intimately associated with the
town, as well as with the settlement and the political and social advancement of I'.nglish speaking Canada.
A few incidents in the professional and s.icial life of Toronto at this period are not without interest. One of these is the
creatiim of the first members of the legal profession by royal proclamition, in the year iSo.f. 'The honour fell upon the
following gentlemen, who were facetiously termeil the " heaven descended b.irristers ;" Dr. W. W. li.ildwin, father of the Hon.

wholly unknown at this period. While we hear of slaves being ni.iiuiiiiiltcd, we also hear of their being sold or ofl'ered for sale.
In the Giizttli- of the time, .Mr. I'eler Kussell, then .idministrator of tlie affairs of the Province, advertises for sale "a black woman,
named I'eggy, agetl forty years, and a black boy, lier son. named Jupiter, aged about fifteen years, both of them the property of

stands making .soap and candles." I'he price set upon I'eggy is $ijo, and upon juiiiler Junior, $.;oo, " payable in three years,
with interest from the day of sale, and to be secured bv bond." His l-Acelleiicy is /ood enough to say, however, that "one-

■'.It)kl) the memorable figure of Hrock appears actively on the scene, the clouds of war had begun
to stretch their murky curtain over llritish possessions in Canada, and the iiuitterings of a por-
tentous storm were already distracting the little town of \drk. In Ciovernor ('■ore's address at
the opening of I'arliameiU, in i8oij, occurs this presage of the coming conlhci : " Hitherto," says
His lAcellency, "we li.ive enjoyed tramiuillity, plenty and peace. How long it may please the
Supreme kuler of Nations thus to favour us, is wisely concealed from our view. Hut under such
( ir( unistances it becomes us to prepare ourselves to meet every event, and to evince by our zeal
and loyally that we know the value of our Constitution, and are worthy of the name of llritish
subjects." Nor were the loval citi/.ens of I'.ngl.ind's Crown in Ndrk slow to respond to the appeal
of patriotism, or indifferent to what was expected of them when the hour of trial came. In the
thirty months' i cmllii t that was about to ensue, no comiminitv could well have given a better account of themselves. It is
with just pride lli.it the ( 'aiiadian histori.in pens the narr.itive of the iinei|ual struggle of those terrible vear,., iHi j 14 ; for when
Congress, on the Kjth of June, 1.S12, declared war against the Motherland, .iml look instant steps to inv.ide Canada, Canada,
with equal promptitude, proceeded to call out her militia, and determinedly braced herself to resist invasion.
The total popul.ition of the llritish Colony at this time did not exceed ,?oo,ooo, of which only about a fourth was
settled in the I'piier Province. The regular troops of all arms in
the country, as the present writer has elsewhere observed, did nol
([uite number 4.500 men. Less than a third of this number was
then in Cpper Canada. With this sm. ill bixb of troops ( 'aiiaila
had to defend a frontier of over 1.500 mile-,, threatened ,it many
points by a large and fairly disciplined army, with a popul.ition
to draw from of nearly eight millions. \'el, such was the spirit ol
her sons that, hopeless as seemed the undertaking, she did not
hesitate to take the field at the first signal of danger. Within a
month after the declaration of war, the .\merican Cieiieral Hull,
with .111 army of :!,5oo men. ( rossed the 1 titroit kiver and
entered ( 'aiiada. Later on, at other points, the countrv was
invaded, namely, on the Niagara frontier, and in Lower Canada,
by way of Lake Champlain. On learning of the invasion of the
western peninsula, (ieneral Hrock called an emergency meeting Kisi; Si kkkt Eam, 1SJ4.

the river into .Michigan, liefon- ass.uilling the fort, he summoned the garrison to surrender. The summons, to lirock's surprise,
was coin|)lieil with, and J.500 .\merican soldiers g" _ up their arms. I'.lated at his unlooked for success, and enabled liy the
capitul.ition of the fort to more efliciently arm I'.- Canadian militia, he resolved at once to relurn to \ork, thereafter to cross
Lake Ontario anil sweep from the N'.igara frontier other detachments of the enemy, liy the iytli of .\ugust llrock and his
troops were hack al the lapital. where they were received with the warmest acclaims of the populace. Unfortunately, when about
to set out again, Hiock's design to prevent the enemy from massing on the Niagara Riser was for the time frustrated by an ill-
timed armistice. This had been agreed to by .Sir Ceorge I'revost, who at the period held supreme conmiand in Lower Canada.
The armistice delaved action till the following October, and gave the .\mericans time to concentrate a force of about
f),ooo men. uniUr \'an Rensselaer, in the _ '-j"'!*

heroism of its defenders. Cieiieral liroek,
hearing at l-'ort ( ieorge the cannonading, gal-
lopeil with his aides-de-camp to the scene of
action, and at once Ibund himself in the
thick of a desperate onset. The story is a
brief one. Two companies of the 4i)th Regi-
ment, «ilh about a hundred of the C.inadian
militia, had lor some time been holding the
eiiemv in check. hIuii the engagement slid
deiil) became geiier.il. .\ portion ol the
invading force, g.iiniiig the heights unol -
served, from this vantage ground began to
pour a destructive fire upon the defenders,
liroek, with characteristic gallantry, inst.mth
placed liimsell .11 the heail of the troops, wilh
whom were two companies of the militia of
\ (irk. and hastened to dislodge the enemy
Irom the heights. Conspicuously leading the
storming p.irty, and with the cry, " I'ush on,
the Nork \dliinteers!" on his lips, Itrock w.is
struck bv a musket-ball and fell mortally
wdiinded. .Maddened at the death of their
heroic icider, the troops twice essayed to
c lear llu' iinaders from the llame clad heights.
Twice, however, were they driven back, and
the gallant column of barely ,500 men was
compelled to retire upon the village and
w.iil reinl'orcemeiits. I'reseiilly these came 1111, and under Cieneral Sheaffe they now outllanked the .\niericans and drove them
over llu precipice, or, on the brink <if the river, forced them to surrender. Victory once more rested upon llrilish arms, though
its lustre was grievously dimmed by heavy losses sustained by the victors, and by the death of Sir Isaac liroek, their loved
commaniler. 'Three days .ifterw.inls they laid Ills body temporarily to rest in a b.istion of fort (ieorge, and llu' ( 'anadian people
mourned for the dead hero.
In these pages il is " .; im, ]-"rpose to trace the events of the war further tli.iii we have done. .\11 we can properlv deal
with is to record briel''. its effects upon the Town of \drk, and to show how bravely its citizens bore thenisebes in the conllict.
'The Ualtle of (,)ui' nston Heights brought mourning into many a 'Toronto home. With (leneral liroek lln're fell his acting
aidede camp, Colonel McDonnell, the .Vttorney-Cieneral of the I'rovince. Nimibers of the soldiery of Vork and the Home
District also fell on the battle ground. Itut the town itself was now to suffer from a closer contact with the enemy. In the
spring of the following year, the .\niericans renewed their efforts to capture Can.ula. Their designs included extensive naval
operations on the lakes, with, if possible, the burning or raiding of the i'rovincial capital. On the jjth of .\pril. Commodore
Ch.iuncev set out from Sackett's Harbour with a lleet of fourteen armed vessels, and 1,600 troops under the comm.ind of
Cieneral De.irborn. On the evening of the following day, the good peo[ile of N'ork saw this winged menace pass westward,

the fuse was lit, from all accounts imdesii^nedly, at a horribly inopportune moment. Despite this (abmilous 1 heck .md the
consternation that ensued, the .Amirie.ms .idvanced upon the town and received the submissicjn of (!ol<jnel Chewetl and the
handful of militia who h.id not lalleii m defence of it.
The exploding of the iiLigadnc and the loss of life it occasioned, put the invaders in no humour to treat generously,
either with the town or with the people. S'ork w.is not only taken possession of by the Americans, but the plac e was sac ked and
many of the public- buildings were given to the llanies. The Houses of I'.irlianicnt, with the library ,ind public records, were
burned, and everything of value that cciiild be removed w.is put on board the Meet. The Kev. John (alterw.irds Mishop)

c.ipilul.ilicm, and toeffect the release on p.irole

dcfenclcrs of the tctwn.
Unhappily the humili.ition of \c)rk
w.is not yet complete. I'hree months after
w.irds, ( hauncey's Heel made another descent
upon the capital to revenge the .lid it had
given (lener.d Vincent in his defence of
liiirliiigioM Heights. The lown had to siib-
inil to .1 liirther scon liing and looting, though
the .\niericaiis had soon to pay lor their
w.intoiiiiess by severe Iosm's elsc-wherc- and
by grim reprisals in the later history ol the
war. To balance the account C.in.id.i has
10 show to her credit the eng.igeiiieiits at
lieaver Dam and Sloiiy Creek, the exploit at
Ogdensbiirg, and the descent upon ill.n k
Ucick. In these affairs, as well as in the
Mc tories of the next year at Chryslers I'.iriii
• ind Chate.iiiguay, the loss to her arms of the
young Colony was hilly counterbalanced.
On the lakes, fortune was capricious, now
playing into the haiuls of Chauncey ancl I'erry, anon into those of Hire lay and ^'eo. I'lie ye.ir iSi^, as we have e hronicled
elsewhere, closed amid woe and desolation. The .American (leiieral .McCliire, in command of the c-,ipiured stronghold of
Kort (leorge, being hard pressed by Vincents troop>, dec ided to winter in Kort .Niagara, on the other siele ol the river. I'liinking
his safety even then endangered by the proximity cif Newark, he c-ommilted the inhuman ae t of turning out cif their homes, in
the depth of winter, about 150 familii-s, including 400 women and children, ancl fired the town .it thirty minutes' notice. I'or
this barbarous ae t the .\inericaiis were- held to a terrible: account, in the repris.ils wliie h instantly lollowecl. the surprise and
capture of fort Niagara, and the consigning to the flames of all .American villages from Lake Ontario to Lake Ijie.
The re is little, as wc have saiil elsewhere, to reccird in the events of 1S14, save the l.iilure of the liritish attac k on the
strong position of the .Americans at Chippewa, ancl the crowning victory of the war, the liattle cil l.undy's Lane, with which the
War of 1812 may he said to have practie^ally ended. The I'reaty of (ihent, which was signed cm the i4tli cjf December, 1S14,
terminated the protMcted struggle, and left Canada in possession cif her own. The ccjuntry h.ul been dev.istated, innumerable
homes made desolate, and thciisands of lives sac rificed, in an inglorious attempt by the .Ameriian people to subjugate Canada,
ancl siippl.int the L'nion J.ie k by the .St.irs and Stripes. I he eirdeal was a trying cmi- for the country; but her sons were ccpial to
the (jcc:asion, and she accjuitted herself with hcjnour, and carried lo the credit of her national life that whit li has since
strengthened and ennobled it.

( iti/^eii, and who was destined to fill a large space in the annals hoth of the city and the
I'roviiK e. In the first year of the war there had come to N'ork the Kev. John Strachan,
a divine who was to he more to Upper (.'anada and its lusty metropolis than a repre-
sentative of the ( 'hurch militant. i'Vom his first coining the town felt the stimulus, of
his active and fori eliil mind. His earliest energies were tlireded to devising means for mitigating the horrors and alleviating
the sufferings of the time, lie founded and took a large share in conducting the- affair-, of an association, (■ailed the " l.oyal
and Patriotic Society of Upper Uanada, " the i hief objects of which were to make provision for the widows and orphans of the
war, to tend the wounded, and give succour Kj those whose homes had been made de-^olate. Of this institution, the late liishop
llethune, Straclian's biographer, observes, that " it ( (inlributed more towards the defence of the I'rovim e than h.ilf a dozen regi-
ments, from the coiilidence and goiid will it inspired, and the encouragement it gave to the young men of the c(j|intry to leave their
homes and take their share in its defence." There was other patriotic work which, while the w.ir
went on, enlisted the energies, as well as the sympathies, of the resour(eful young e((lesiasti( . In
the i.hr(mi( les of the lime, Strachan is seen to have taken an active, though rather aggressive,
part in negoti.iting the terms of capitulation with the .\nieri(an inv.ulers of N'ork. To him, in
the overtures with the enemy, the town owed wh.itever clemency was shown to it, though his curt
spee( h and dour manner, luiilrali/ed only by the courteous address and genial ways of Att(jrne\
(ieneral (afterwards (hief jusliie) Kobinson, came near cancelling all that had been gained from
York's rude captors.
liefore jiassing on with the
history, let us lake a (loser gl.ince
at the town's sturdy ( hampion and
shrewd, though liriis(|ue. mediator.
Strachan was a young S( ()t( h school-
master (born .It .\berdeen in 177S)
who had come to Canada In his
twenty-first year, with some e\pe( ta
tion of receiving the priiu ipalship ot
a college which w.is designed to be
founded by the (iovcriiment and en
(lowed with a large grant of land
from the public domain. On the
last day of the century the young
dominie arrived at Kingston, where
he learned that, with Simcoe's de- ^'' '-*»'"'^''''- Makkkt, kkom tiik So. i 11 Kast.
parture from the (olony, the project of founding a college under the auspiies of the Covernment. had for the time been
abandoned. He, however, lud a friend in .Mr. kii hard ( 'artwright, an influential resident, who prev.iiled upon him to open
a sdiool In the town and light the lamp of learning in the youllilul colony. In this work Strachan /eahmsly engaged, until
having taken orders, he was appointed by Itishcjp Mountain to a charge at Cornwall. At Cornwall he combined ediK ^^(mal
with clerical work, and there, in what l)e(^ime a famous prcccptory, he taught many who were ere long to go forth to till the

While the town and the country were thus making satisfactory material progriss. the situation of .iH'.iirs poliiicallv was
deplorable. In liotli llie I'pper and the Lower Province, pulilic feelm.u was ,uoused over the irresponsilile ch,nacti'r of the
Kxecutive Council, and found vent in many stormy scenes in I'arliaiiienI, as will as in angrv outhiirsls iii the R.idical press. In
the L'pper I'roMiicc especially there was a |ilenlihil crop of grievances, .\iiiong these
we (|uote from our words elsewhere were the scandalous svsteiii on which the pulilic
lands were granted, and the partiality shown in the issue of land |i.itenis and other favours
in the gift of the Crown. Immigrants from the L'nited States, heing tainted as il was
stijiposod with kepulilicanisin. were the special olijects of official dislike anil the \ii tiiiis
of legislative injustice and wrong. Oppressive laws were passed ag.iinst tlieiii. and an
.Mien Act was rigorouslv enforced, whiih for a time deprived them of their poliliial rights.
excluded them from the privilege of taking up land, and suhjected them to many iiidig
nities, including arliitrary expulsion from the I'rovince. 'The chief authors of these aliuses
were the inemliers of the llxecutive and Legislative Councils, who by their close alli,nices
for mutual advantage, came to be known by the rather sinister designation of the I'amily
Compact. L'or the most part thev were of I'. I-",. Loyalist <lescent, men of education.

scrii|iulously honest, following. In the reforming spirit that now set in, il iiiiisl in justice
be said, that whatever good was in the administration of the time was but indiffereiilb
acknowledged. We mav admit that, at the |ieriod, power was firmly centrali/ed in tin-
haiKls of a dominant and exclusive i l,iss that all the public ottices were in llu-ir gih, and
that the entire public domain, iiic hiding the ('rown and Clergy Land Keser\es. was also
in their hanils. It is true also that, through the patronage at their disposal, the I'amily ( 'oiiipai t were enabled lo fill the Lower
House with their supporters and ailhereiils, and, in largi' measure, to shape the I'rovincial legislation so as to niaintain their hold
of oltice and perpetuate ,i monopoly of power. That they used their positions autocratically, and laid a heavy hand upon the

of lAlensivc liiiililiiig operations set in in ihi'
town. New lloiiM's of I'.irli.mieiit were

hlirned by the .\mericans in 1S15. Here.

a place of reiide/voiis for the cit'/cns. Its
location was a little way north of King, lie

market, which was now enclosed, l'e<:^'ii..
also a place of piililic resort ; while halls of
modest dimensions, attached as yet to the hotels, were erec leil for mass iiieelings and occasionally u.sed for the play and the
dance. Nor did the citi/eiis of the time neglect the need of pl.ices of worship. In iSi.S the first Methodist Church was liiiilt,
and shortly afterwards the ICpi^copal Cluirch of St. James was enlarged and remodelled. Later still, came .111 eiitirclv new
edifice, which, despite its lieing of
stone, fire unhappily devoured in
1S51). In the "twenties" were also
erected sacred edifices for the use
of the Roman Catholic and I'resliy-
terian comnuinions. Towards the
close of this decade, the \drk citizen
also saw erected a new (ieiieral Hos-

.Slow as yet, however, were the successive stages of civic developnunl, and the visitor within its piles oluii mocked the preten

Hut with the stoi ks and the pillory were soon to go the humdrum and iinpronressive era of "Miiddv I illle \ork. ' liilore
the lirinhter day laine, however, Toronto h.id to enter upon a conMicl which tried the spirits of its sons, .mil proved, as with
fire, their sturdy claim to the rights and privileges of freemen.
At the time, as we have seen, political power was centrali/ed in the hands of a dominant ami e\chisive class, who rilled
the I'rovince autocratiially, and shaped the Provincial legislation so .is to maintain their hold of ot'tice and reward, villi
extensivi- land grants and other favours, their large and not overscrupulous hody of rit.iiiiers. .\gaillst this ruling olig.m hy
and the plicemen of the time, Koliert (ioiirlay, earliest of ( 'anadian Radic.ils, was the lirsl to proU'st ; and when he had lieeii

laws and the arbitrary legislation, embodied
in .Mien and .Sedition Acts, passed by the

took up and larried forward the {'ai alibiir

slinhl ones that siparated tlie two hands of
combatants. Ivaeh side, iiodoiiht, considered
itself finhlinn lelinionsly for a principle. In
the politics of the yoiiiif; colony, it was the
first sharp contest lictwecn privilege and non
privilege. 'The one side sought to conserve
what it deemed its sailed trust and was
jealous of its own rights and privileges ; the
other had lilllc respect for ( 'row n nominations
if its nominees aliiiseil their trust and would
pay no deference to the voice of the parlia
luentary majority. In the strugfilc that
ensiled, we sh.ill licltcr see what the reform
inn spirit ol the lime sought to remedy.
In tile meantime the field of parl\
strife ch. lilted Iniin ihe I .enislatlire to the
Civic Chainlier. With the year 1X54, the
eiti/ens of WnV had come to feel th.it the
civic administration would he more satis

r.ilcil from those of the town and the l.ittir
Hiven a municipal system of its own. I'his
idea, at once progressive and reasonahle,
nut, however, with opiiosition, the Reformers,
stiannely enough, opposing, while the Con
ser\atives were in favour of, the measure.
I'olitical feeling, which had long heeii at fever
heat, took sides in the civic contest ; and
though Keforni, perhaps fearing the evils of
increased ccntrali/ation, had at first scouted
the innovation, it filially accepted it, and in
the eleitions carried with it a majoritv of the
party as representatives on the Council.

.\s the event is of some importance in the aiuials of the city, it may he worth while to note the successive incidents in
the affiir of incorpor.ition. In l''eliruary, 1.S34, .Mr. Jarvis, luemher for York, introduced into the Legislature a liill emliodying
Ihe proposed measure. On the 6lh of .March it received the Royal assent and heiaine law. Ihe main features of the liill
coiistitiiled the town a city, under the name of the City of 'I'oroiito, and divided il into five wards, with two aldermen and two
coimiilmen lor each ward. The eiti/ens were to elect the ward representatives, while the latter were to elect from themselves
a mayor. The combined body was to have the management of the city's alTairs, and power was given to il to levy such taxes
as should be found necessary fi)r the proper maintenance of the city's goveniinent and the requisite puiilic iinprovciiients. On

at Irasl, for tlu' cause of Kcfonn. Mackcn/ic licid ol'licc only for the year, Iml williin llie period iinich was done in the way of
piilihi- iinproMinents. Tlie first thinn In whii h the
Coiimil addressed itself was the niendint; ami e\
tending of the city's siiUwalks and mails. To meet
this necessary e\penilitiire, an ai>plication was made
to the Hank of L'pper Canada for the loan of a
thonsand pounds, l)Ut as the city was alre.idy a
delitor to the evtent of nine limes this sum. the
loan was timidly refiisid. .\ conleinporary docii
nieiit shows, howiver, th.it an application lo the
I'ariners' liank was more siiceissfiil, llumuli the
monev was had only mi the personal security of the
.\lavor and City Council. The city then mended
its ways. In these days of liberal and sulistantial
street pavements, it is not a little curious to con
irast with them the meanre and parsimonious
sidewalks of the \car of Toronto'^ incorporation.
.\ll thai was then allowed of .1 pronuMading area,
were two Iweheinch pl.mks. I.iid longitudinally on
the chief streets.
The statistiis of the period, in other direc-
lions, show similar sharp contrasts lietweell then
and now. Into these we h.ive not space here to
enter, though it may lie noted thai the po|iulation,
in i.'^.vi. w.i-. under 10. coo. and that the \.due of the
I .>M K..I .SI i.Ki 1 i;.Mi 1^1 I HI HI M. ratable propertv within the city limits did not evceed
three i|u.irters of a million of dollars. The " leaps and bounds " b\ wliicli the city has attained its present proportions, the
reader may reali/e when it is recalled th.U the then area of I'orimto was compressed between the I ion and I'eter Street, and
between Lot (or (,)ueen) Street and the ll.iv. Outside of these bounds was an unkempt, if not impenetrable, wilderness. Nor
must we forget one at least, and the iimst dread, of the local causes of the time that retarded the city's advancement. In the
year of incorporation, Toronio suffered from a visitation of .Asiatic cholera. ICvery twentieth inhabitant, it is recorded,
bei ante a vii tim lo the fell scourge.
In spite of this calamitous ilis|)ensation and the increasing political turbulence, the youthful city, impelled by an internal
force of its own. continued lo make projiress. Stores, blocks, churches, and public buildings were built ; new streets and
avenues were opened up; and manv fair funilv residences rose solitarv among the thick set pines, upon wh.it are now old city
sites. Net, in appearance, much of the town was still rude and uncouth. This we learn from a picture lim.ied for us, in iX_^f),
by .Mrs. lanieson. wife of the then I'rovincial N'iceChancelliir, though its lugubrious tone was doubtless (he product of the
artist's depressed spirits. Says .Mrs. Jameson (viJf "Winter .Studies and Summer Rambles '")," What Toronto may be in
summer. I cannot tell; they say it is a prettv place. .\l present its appearance to nie, a slrangir, is most stningely mean and
mekmcholy. .\ little ill biiill town, on low kind, at the bottom of a fro/^en bay, with one very ugly church, without tower or
steeple; some (lovermnent oftices, built of staring p 1 brick, in the most tasteless, vulgar style im;iginable ; three feet of snow
all around ; and the grey, sullen, wintry lake, and the dark gloom of the |)ine forest bounding the prospect ; such seems Toronto
to me now." I'liis ill-used, unhappy lady, we are glad to remember, has left us a later and brighter picture of Toronto.

In lower Canada, a somewhat similar slate of thinj^s prevailed, and precipitateil the crisis that now fell upon the whole

rebellion. In the closini; (la\s of July, iS,;;, .Mackenzie organi/ed a " Conmiittee of X'igilance," to guard the irUerests Reform
had in view ; bm the violeiu appeals it issued soon inllanied the heart of sedition, and the next move was a hostile demonstra-

seen from the inflammatory handbills which the leading spirit of ihe uioMUunt issued, c.illing upon his fellow " p.iiriots " to
rise and strike for freedom. Here are a few r.ilher spicy extracts :
"Can.idians: < iod I'.as put it into the bold and honest hearts of our brelhrcii in I.owit C.ni.ula to revolt not ag.iiiisl
lawful but against unlawful .uitliority. The law says we sh.ill not be taxed without our consent by the xciice of the men ol our
choice ; but a wiiked and lyraiuiical ( ioveriuueiit has trampled upon that law, robbed the exchec|uer, divided the iilundir, and
deilared that, regardless of justice, they will contiiuie to roll in their splendid c.irriages and riot in their palaces at our expense ;
that we are poor, s|iiritless. ignorant peasaiUs, who were born to toil for our betters, * * Ndu give a bounty lor wcilves'
scalps. \\ h\ ? Ihi ,Hise wolves harass you. The bouiuy you must pay for freedom (blessed word ! ) is to give the strength of
your arms to put down tyranny at Toronto. One short hour will deliver our country from the oppressor, and freedom in
religion, pea<'e and tranciuillity, eijual laws and an improved country, will be the prize. "■ * We have given Ile.id (the
(iovernor) and his employers a trial of forty live years, live vears longer than the Israelites were detained in the wilderness. The
promised land is now before us up then and lake it but set not the torch to one house in ToroiUo, unless we are fired at
from the houses, in which case selfpreservaliou will teaili us to put down those who would murder lis when up in the defence
of laws. ♦ ♦ ♦
" Mark my words, Canadians '. The struggle has begun it will end in freedom : but timidity, cowardice or lainperiTig
on our part, will only delay its close. We cannot he reconciled to Itritain. We have humbled ourselves to the I'haraoh ot
England, to the .Ministers and great people, and they will neither rule us nor let us go. We are determined never to rest until
independence is ours the prize is a splendid one. .\ iiiuiitry larger llian I'r.iiice or I'.ngland, natural resources eipial to our

" L'p, then, hrave Canadians : (let re.i<ly your rilies and make short work of it; a connection with ICngland would
involve us in all her wars, midertaken for her own advantage, never for ours. With Ciovernors from I'.ngland we will have

of enjoying many hiessings. Our enemies in Toronto are in terror and dismay; the\' know their wickedness and dread om

The publication of this incendiary tractate, we need hardly say, laid U:, writer open to the grim courtesies of the law ;
and the .\tloriiey-(ieneral of the Province naturally informed the (lovernor that .\lacken/ie should be proceeded against for
treason. The (iovernor acciuiescing, a warrant was issued for the rebel's arrest. lUit .Mackenzie had lied ere he could lie
apprehended, and was now busy gathering the clans of revolt for the descent upon the ca|)ital. liesides .\I.acken/ie. among the
leading Upper Canada plotters of rebellion, were Messrs. \'an Egniond, I'erry, l.ount, .Matthews, Duncombe, .Morrison, .Mont-
gomery, I'riee, Ciorham, I >oel, (iibson, (;rah;nii. .\nder.son, Ketchuni, Idetcher, l.loyd. with other Toronto citizens and yeomen
of the county. ( )lher inlluential sympathi/ers there were, such as Robert Halilwin and .Marshall .Spring liidwell, who stopjied
short, however, at actual and overt rebellion, .\nother name, that of Dr. John Rolph, is to be added to the black list, though
he belonged to the number of astute rebels, in more or less open disguise. The chief leaders of the revolt in Lower Canada,
it is iKirilly necess;iry now to say,
were I'aiiineau, Dr. Wolfred Nelson,
and IClienne ("artier.
With the incidents of "the
rising, " we have space only to deal
brielh. 'The seditious movement
seems to have drawn iiuo its vorte\
the ycom;'nry chielly of N'onge
Sireel. e\tendiiig from the northern
boundary of the city northw;ird to
\'eHui;irkel and Holland Landing.
The rallying ))lace of the insurgents
we naturally fmd, therefore, was
.Montgiimery's T;ivern. on \ onge
Street, situate about a mile beyond
Deer Park, the northern suburb of
'Toronto. Here, in the opening
days of December, g;Uhered .M;u--
kiii/ie's rank and file, including the
Toronto contingent, which used to
meet clandeslinel) ,U I )oeTs brewery,
on l>ay Street, with a sprinkling of
moderate Reformers from other parts
of the Province, now goaded into
active rebellion. .Arms and accou
tremeiits h;ul ;dready been quietly
passeil .diout, anil there was mui-h le.ideii stir in the melting-pot to provide the reciuisite bullets. So l;ir, Torydom in the city
li.ul not taken mn( h ;il.nin. W'h.U regular troops were in garrison had been ilespatched to Lower C;uiada bv the (iovernor, to
the ;issistance of men.iied l.iw and order in that Province, liy the prevailing indifference and limpness of ol'tiii.d .nithorin.
Toronto invited Us doom. Hut its doom, however sternly rebcldom hail decreed it, w.is not yet.
The date li\iil for the descent upon Toronto was origin.dly the 7th of I )eiember. On Sunday, the ,5rd, when M,icken/ie
re.iclied the :ippointed reiule/voHs, he learned with surprise th;it Dr. Rolph h.ul <hanged the day to the 4th insl;uu. Why
this h:Ml been done was ;it the time not clear, though it was surmised that it was in consequence of preparations being
made by the :iutliorities to put Toronto ill ;l state of defence, and that delay would be bad for the rebels and good for the
loyalists. The insurgent chief determined, hevever, to I'uul out the re.tl position of affairs, and with that purpose he set out
after dark for the city, accompanied by three of his troopers as a bodyguard. On the way they met two men on horseb;uk, one
of whom was .Mr. John Powell, an .\lderman of Toronto, who were proceeding as spies in the direction of the rebel cam]).
Macken/ie's |).irly, being two to one, took the citizens prisoners and sent them on to MoiUgonieiy's, in the custoily of two of
the insurgents. Hut care, it seems, had not been taki'n to tlivest one of them at le;ist of his concealed we;ipons. T;Lking
advantage of this oversight, .Alderman Powell, on the way, drew a revolver and killed one of the gu.ird, then wheeled about and
galloped for the city. Overtaking Mackenzie and his companion, shots were exchanged on the highway, but without tlTect on
either side ; and Powell continued his flight to the town, where he aroused {iovernor Head from his bed and with him routed

duties, he was not able to satisfy his Imperial masters, aiul, iiieeiiscil at tlie opposition some ol his aets met with in I'.n.uland, lie
ahniptly resigned his office and withdrew from his mission.
The Durham Administration, however, brought important results. It was tlie turning-poiiU in tlie poHtieal liistory of
the ( '.ui.idas ; for while in the country his Lordship had prepared an elaborate report on the situation of affairs, and this states-
manlike document he submitted to the Home Cioveriuneiu, and, in the main, his views were acted upon. In a clear, bold, and
dispassionate manner. Lord 1 )urh.un set forth the dil'ficulties besetting governnieiu in the Canadas, and, with rare prescience,
suggested a confederation of .dl the liritish North .\merican I'rovinces. .Admitting that this project was too great for immediate
fulfilment, he coiUented lumself with pressing upon the Imperial ("povermuent anil I'arliament a mollification of his siheme, in
the Legislative L'nion of L'pper and Lower Canada. This idea presented itself as a more feasible one ; and to give it effect,
the Hritish ('io\erninent sent out to the colony the Hon. .Mr. I'oulett 'I'homson (afterwards Lord .Sydenham), who undertook,
at a special council convened in Lower C'anada, to draft a bill uniting the two I'rovinces. and to obtain the acce|>tance of the
measure by the two political parties in both sections of the country. The distinctive provisions of the .\ct (of 1840) were that
the two I'rovinces should be united under one (lovernment : that there should be one Legislative Council anil one .Vssembly,
with equal representation in both branches ; and that the I-Aecutive Council should hold oltice oiilv so long as it, as a body,
commanilcd the siip|)i.>rt of a majority in the popular Chamber, 'riuis was gained what Reform had long and wearily contended
for government by the people, the
essential principle of responsible
political rule. The Ciiioii Mill was
(lasseil in the Imperial I'arliament
on the 2.?ril of July, 1840, and it
came into force in Canada in I'eb-
ruary of the following year.
In the new political older of
things, Toronto for a time lost the
nominal honours of the capital.
■['lie first L'nion I'arliament met at
Kingston, that city being deemed
more central for conducting tlic ad
minisirative affairs of the Liiilecl
l'ro\iiiies. I'lUt rnrolito> piislige
was not now depeiidenl ii|ion the
retention or the removal of the
I.egisl.itiirc. Despite the troubles
and dislraclions of the period, the
cilv had grown apace. Ten \ears
after its incorporation the popiil.ition
h.id doubled, while its tr.ide and
commerce had greatly increased.
Manv of its lirst men were proii>I
to sit in the civic chair, and the
names of those it sent to I'arliament
became ■' household words." In 1840, loronto for the first time lit its streets with gas, and four years later, Keform founded
its long-time chief organ of journalism, The Glohe, Cinteniporary with the latter, there were issued In the rapidly-developing
city, eight or ten other news|)apers, whose names the /'tilriot. Mirror, lianner. Colonist, E.xniiiimr, and C/irisliun Uiiaidiaii
will be familiar to the old-time citizen. I'd these evidences of progress has to be added those connected with im|>roveiI
facilities of coimiiunic.ition by laiul and water, besides the building of churches and founding of schools. This period is
also known as that whiih saw the ereition of the Provincial L'niversily. Occasionally, iirogress had its set-backs, such as the
great fire in 1S41;, which destroyed half a million of (iroperty, including the Cathedral Church of St. James. This calamity
was followed by the second outbreak of .XsLitic cholera, which cirried off over five hundred of the city's inhabitants, most of
whom were lately-arrived immigrants. On the whole, however, 'I'oronto during this |)eriod made great strides. It generated
the energies and amassed the resources which found further .mil higher development in the next decade, known as that ol the
Railway lira.
Karly in the " I-'ilties, " I'oronto and the Province began to re.ip the lienefits of m.ichinery and steam, which for the
previous twenty years had done so much for the develoimient of the .Mother kind. Hitherto they had Lc^n the servants of
man in the workshop, the mine and the manufactory ; now they were to be brought into play to carry him and his goods over
the wide stretches of C'anada and the Continent. Railway enterprise had its inceiUion in Canada in a project for connecting
Toronto first with I«ike Simcoo and the (leorgian Hay, and afterwards, in the more gigantic undertaking, of connecting Montreal
with Toronto and the towns of the Western peninsula. The lirst of these enterprises was known as the Ontario, Simcoc &

later on extended westward to (liielph, and soon after to Sarnia." Tlie " ( Ireat Western " road was also carried tliroiii;li to the
Niagara River, in the ICast, and to Windsor and the St. Clair River, in the West. (Ireat was the lienelit to Tororuo of these
roads, for they laid deep the foundations of the commercial fabric wl\i( h now arose in the capital, and fiifnished to the towns of
the I'roxince a central emporinm for trade. To the I'ommercial development of the city. Reciprocity with the United Sl.ites.
which had been secured during Lord l'',lnin's re-gime, was very helphil : and Toronto and the I'rovince were also to gain nnich
by the Civil War which broke out in iS()i in the neighbouring Republic, c.ilannlous as was that event to those iinhai>pily
engaged in the strife.
With the political ilevelopnients in Upper Canada, from the period of the Rebellion, the annalist of I'oronto has not
mu( h lo do. save to record something of the general movements in the then I'nited Provinces, in which the city took part, or
by which it was in .some degree aided. Of these movements, two were to be distin<tly helpful to Toronto, namely, the
founding of a system of Common School ediK'a-
tion, with its higher e\tensions, in the way of
Ciramniar or High Schools, leading up to the
University, and the creatioji of the municipal
.system of local government in cities, towns and
villages, with power to levy taxes for local im-
provements, to provide the machinery and pav
the cost of local administration. The city was
also more or less aided by the I'arliamentarv
appropriations of the period for the extension
of the canal system of the I'rovince, the con-
struction of coloni/ation roads, the building of
public works, and the annual disbursements for
the encouragement of imniigration. .Another
gain of the time, from which Toronto and the
country gcner.dly beiieliteil, w.is the granting bv
the .Mother Land of Connnercial Tieedom to
the Colony, and the opening of her ports, un-
taxed, to its lumber, grain and other (iroducts
of trade.
In the Canadian Tarliament, |)artv had
still its burning (|ueslions to fight over, and
keen and bitter w.is the strife and great the
social agitation and discord. On the death of
Lord .Sydenham, c.nne the brief administr.ition
of Sir Charles liagot. followed, in r,S4j, bv that
of Sir Charles (afterwards Lord) .Metcalfe. In
assuming the (loverixir-deneralship, .Metcalfe
soon betrayed the fait th.it lie looked i.ith dis-
favour upon Responsible (lovernmeiit, and that
in the distribution of patronage and appoint-
iiHiil to ollicc he rigidly upheld the prerogative
of the Crown. This attitude, with which the
Dniper Tory Covernment was idelitilied, w.is a
retrograde step unpalatable to Reform and to the laberal ele lent in the .-ouiitry. Torlmiately the regime did not last kmg,
for, in 1S47. .Metcalfe withdrew in ill-heallh to Kngl.ind. and he was succeeded in ofhce bv Lord KIgin, a sim in-law of the
Karl of Durham. The administration of this statesman is marked by the lull development' of Respimsible Covenmieiit. for
Ins policy was not only .oiieiliatory, but it led him to pay defereii.e to the wishes of the people, as expressed b> their
Parliamentary representatives, ami to guide himself by the counsels of those only who enjoyed their conlideii. e. His
regime was unfortunately marred by factious opposition in I'arli.iment, which then met at .Montreal, and was the si cue of
frenzied riots and incemliarism, and by much wild agitation in both Trovimes. 'This arose over the passing, bv a Reform
.\dministralion then in power, of the Rebellion Losses liill. a measure which anllioriml the ( loverniiien't to raise
Xioo.ooo to iiideinnify Lower Canadians lor their losses in tS.57, but which was op|iosed by the Tories, on the ground th.it
the claims were preferred by ami the compensatiim was to be paid to "rebels." Notwithstanding this contention, the Itill
passed, though it cost the country the loss of the Parliament liuildiiigs, which the .Montreal malcontents gave to the ll.imes, and
for a time subjected Lord KIgin, though unfairly, to public odium. Time, however, allaved the cx( iteiiieiit, .iiid Toronto once

that Toronto has had nuicli to do in making, at ome, the Province and the llominiiin. hrom lur loins ha\e gone lortli not a
little (if the lirain and muscle which have entered into both and contributed to their stability and greatness. Solar as loial
government is concerned, Confederation has conferred a boon noon both the capital anil the Province. It has taken from
'roronto some political importance, but it has given it peace, and removed from it 'he chief cockpit of party estrangement and
strife. That has gone to the other end of the Province, and ours to-d.iy is the happiest of all histories. < )nly the ghosts of old
factions now stalk in our legislative halls, though we sometimes seek to reanimate them with the evil spirit of the past. Put we
have something better to do than this. On our people devolves the care of half a continent, whose nsources are illimitable,
whose <apabililies are untold. Ours is a noble heritage. In population, if we have not as vet the innnbers which betoken
progress, we have a country vast and productive enough to n-ar numbers. In our .North West we haw a belt of land which
could provide sustenance, with plenty, for thirty or forty millions. In Ontario alone, twice the present population of the
whole Dominion could be comfortably housed and fed.
With such a past and present, if we are but true to ourselves, who can despair of what the future will bring ? The past
twenty years' progress of Toronto is in itself sufficient to dispel all doubts. The developnent of the city is but a rellex of the
development of the nation as a wliole. If this is challenged, let the i|uestiiiner look abroad, and if he has known what
the country was a generation ago, he will, if a candid man, be convinied. Nor has the orogress alone been ntaterial. liesides

and the realty jo niilliun ; today the population is in the neinhliourhocid ol.!00,ooo, while the realty evceeds a 1 .^5 millions !
It is said that on one of <iur streets 'Toronto Street thoU};h only a lilock in lentil, the realty an<l personalty are assessed,
in round nuniliers, at one million doll.irs. 'The imports of the city, within the perioil, show a like marvellous advance.
In iSti;, the amount was a trille o\er seven millions ; in iSHcj, they approached twenty millions. I''a<ls such as these s|ieak
volumes. When we lousider not only this ama/iii),' increase, in population and in the \alue ol the city's ratable property,
lint the evideiK IS on all sides of solid prosperity and substantial comlort, and even luxury, we may venture to picture the
'Toronto ol' the coming time as a place u( phenomenal importance, and wielding great inllueme over the destinies ol' the
country. .\lu( li in this respect will of course <lepenil on
the character of its public men. the repute and public
spirit of its <iti/cn^. .uid the mamur in which its aff.iirs
are administered. T.iliiolism re(|uires that a man shall
work for his country and fellowmen as he works for
himself. Self-seeking and the building up of the indi-
vidual at the expense of e\ery other interest has been
too often the rule, and civic life has thus been deprived
(if its animating principle, and the public weal has been
left to shift for itself. Cities, like nations, il should be
remembered, are living and growing or atrophied and
dving organisms ; and the individual citi/en has a pro-
portion.ite interest in the life and prosperity, and a
corresponding responsibility for the decay and lelrogres
sion, of the citv which he makes his habitation and linds
his daily bread.
( )f interest in any historical retrospect of Toronto's
annaK must be the list of her chief magistrates. 'There
h.ive been, in .dl, twenty six men who h.ive filled the
civic chair since the city's incorporation in 1834. Of
the number, most of them have been her own sons and
some of them her best blood. .Xot a few have served
her interests so well, that they have enjoyed a second.
and even a third, term. In the early days, when the
incumbent of ollice was elected by the Council rather
than liv the people, some mayors have even done better
than a third term. The list is full of interest for another reason,
of a high olfice conferred upon them, but identifies with successive periods in the life of the city those who have been
instrmnent.il in l.iboriously and fiithhilly serving her. We append the list : —

interxal. 'I'he present writer can well reiuenilier his own impressions of the plaie when he first came, a youtli of nineteen,
to the city in the autumn of 1S58. The street railway w.is not \et in operation : nor had we those usehil adjuncts of our
inoderii civilization telephones, coupt's, ami the electric light. I'he opera houses and art galleries, which we h.ive to d.iy,

.Mcdee, Canada's silver tongued or.itor, who bv the w.iy on ih.it occ.ision could not get beyond the eNordiuni of his exteinpor-
izeil address, having dined that evening "not wisely but too well." Our memories of the latter are connected with X'.indenhoff,
the elocutionist. Ch.irles Kiiigsley, the Rev. Dr. .Met '.uil, his snulTbox ami red pocket handkerchief, and Mrs. lohn I'leverley

drama, as rendered by the Holinan Sisters, or delighliug ourselves with the personations in light comedy
of ( 'harlotte Nickinsoii. belter known to a Liter generation as Mrs. Mmrison.

gr.itil'ying re.itures in the city's recent career. .\ i|iiarter of a century ago, il' our memory is not at fault, tlure were not more
than eight or nine city schools, besides the I'roviiici.il, Normal and .Model Schools, iliiellv for professional tr.iiiiiiig. To-day the
number has ini-reased to forty-eight, while most of the old ones have been rebuilt and enlarged. The school ec|uipmeiil has
also greatly improved, while the iharacter of the training has advanced. The city has also added to the luimlier of its colleges
and seals of higher education for both sexes. In ihi^ and oilier ways. Toronto h.is added grcall\ to it-, .illr.iciioiis as ,i place
of residi nee. iiarliciil.irl)' for those having f.imilies to re.ir and educate.
A^ the c\e ranges over the immense are.i which rei'eiit years h.ne broughl within the ciiy'-. embr.ice, one notes ,ilso with
priile the e\ ideiices of a higher ideal in the comfort and luvurv of living. Not onh does the vast number of elegant vill.is and
semi-ilelached houses on our chief residential streets dinole an increase of we.ilth and the enterprise born of its possession, but
it is an indication that we have rehned our t.i^le in domestic arcliiliciure .iiid heightened and bcimilicd our m.inncr of life.
'This is also shown m the lastehil surround
ings of our homes and in the boulevaiding
and tree-planting of our streets. The rei og-
nition of the need for public parks and drives
about the lity, and what we have already
aihieved in this direction, are further pleasing
fe.ilures 111 Toronto's soc i.il adv.inceliieiit.
.Nor in ihi^ eiuimer.uion must we overlook
the .iddilion-' which phil.mlhropy h.isof receiil
vears made to the number of hos|iit.ils. ch.iri

has been large and gratifying. In these pro

What Is seen in the way of improvi-

iii^ anil business life. The dingy and < r.impid
estalilishmeiits of other d.ns h.ive been ri'
placed by those of sp.u iousiuss. loftiness .ntd

Not less worthy of ( uniiiicnt. .is m.irks of ihe c ii\ 's progress within the p,i-l iwo or three dec .ides, is the evleiision of ihe
various agencies of the civic administration, and notably those of the I'oliie Tone .iiid the Tire Urig.ide. The growth of rei eiit
years of both of these deparlineiils i- another indicalion of the lity's development ; .mil the growth is noi more rcm.irk.ible ih.in
is the practical effii-icncy. With the ciil.irgemenl of the immii ip.il .ire.i. absorbing as it now doe-, the once oiillyiiig suburbs ol
llrockton, I'arkdale, Seaton \'illage, \'orkville. and Deer I'.irk, there has of iiecessitv been a i oiisider.ible addition lo the city's
debt. Itilt to-day the debt does not exceed twelve millions of dollars, and it is amplv i.ivercil by the value of die ciil.irgcd and
improved lily proiierty. Much, of <ourse, requires still lo be done, and large sums have yet lo be expeniled ere Toronto's city
fathers and the public geiier.illy shall be content with the sanitary i-ondition and the a'sthetii appearance of the town. Hut
what has been accomplished insfiires confidence in what will be accomplished, and gives assuram e that Toronto will i (inlimie
lo add to her ({realness and lo Ihe material and moral enrichment of every phase of her civic lile.

sav. from the intersection of \oiige and T'roiit Streets one embracing some of the sights of the lity to the e.ist and north, the
other .ill that is important to the west ami north. In these tours, the following itinerary may prove of interest.
.\t the st.uting point named, three hue buildings, fairly typical of the city's wealth and enterprise, will be sure to .illr.ict
the tourist's .itteiltion. These are the Custom I louse, the Toronto liranch of the It.ink of Moiitre.il. and the new Iv erected
home of the locil lio.ird of Tr.ide. The interior as well as the exterior beaut\ of tlle^e threi' buildings is a matter of just pride
to the I iti/eus. Trom this point r.idi.ite
the business streets, whose massivi- ware
houses may be seen on every hand, each
house or linn seeming to vie with it--
neighbour in the eiei tion of elcg.int .iml
commodious premises, with the best fii ill
ties for doing business. To the westward.
a block and a half dist.int. is the well
known hostelry of "The (,tiiecn's." .\

of the city, and for long more than one-half of

congregation in the western fcction of the city. During the se\en \ears ol his pastorale, Chalmers' ( 'luirch has grown from a
very small mission to an important and inlhiential congregalioii. Mr. .\liitch is deservedly
popular in this fold of I'reshyterianisrn, and is untiring in his relief of the poor, in advancing
temperance work, and generally in promoting the high interests of his calling in this part
of the Lord's vineyard. He is a member of the Ivpial Rights' Association.

on I )overcourt Road until increase<l numbers compelled removal to ICssery Hall, corner
of <,)iieen and I. isgar Streets. In iSSi the rear of the present church was built on the
lot at the corner of Doverconrt Road and Argyle Street, whiih had been presenled to the
congregation by Mr. 'I'honias l.aily. In iSSS the present edifice was built and opened lor

ai cepted a <all to the first liaptist Church of lirantford, and in 18(15 removed to
.Montreal to t.ike < h.irge of the First I'aptist Church of that city. He returned to
lirantford in 1870 and removed to Hrockville in 1880 to work up a church which was
in financial distress. In 1SS4 this congregation was so strengthened that he devoted him
self to building up I loverconrt Church. During his six years' ministration there the
membership has grown from 50 to 275, various branches of work have been developed,
and the church placed on a sound footing.
The Rev. .\lexander Sullicrland, D.D., an able divine of the Methodist body, and
the powcrhil leader of what is known a- tie "Third I'arty" in Canadian politics, seekiiij;
moral renovation in all matters of national admini^

ship of Ciuelph, Ontario, Sept. T.^th, 1855. Like
most siu<essfril ami self made men. Dr. Sulliir-
land's early years were years of toil and ailversitv.
dirough whiih he struggled nobly to educate him
self for the ministry and the high positions in the
Cliur< h to which he has since attained. After a
brief course in X'ictoria College, Cobourg, he was
received into full connection with the Conference of his Church and ordained. He then
lilleil pastoral charges succissively in Niagara, 'I'horolil, Drummondville, Hamilton. I'or-
niito .ind .Montreal; and in 1874 was elected (leiieral Secretary and Clerical I'reasuier of
the Missionary Society of the Church. In this responsible position he has travelled o>- r
the whole Dominion, superintending missionary work and stimul.iting Ihe /eal of his
denomination, and at the same time doing much for the cuise of temperance and other
moral reforms. He has been a mighty worker for union in the Conferences of his Church,
in which he has held the highest positions, and repe.itedly been its delcgateil representative
•ibroad. He is a man of immense energy and unllagging /eal, and done much to mould
the thought and guide the work of his (,'liurch. In 1871^, \i(loria L'niversily conferred
upon Dr. Sutherland the degree of Doctor in Divinity.
The Rev. Ira Smith, I'astnr of lieverley Street liaptist Church, was I irri in the Township ol Saltlleit. ( )nt., June 71I1. iS(().
Mr. Smith i-omes of siurdv lintish stoik, and inherits from both father and mother the memories of the War of 181 j, and from
their forebears the memories of the Revolutionary War and of loyal service on the siile oflhet'rown. .Mr. Ira Siiiilh was
educated at Wdoostoi k College, and at Toronto L'niversily, of which he is an tin lergraduate. Like his fuller, the Rev. 'Thos.
Holland Smith, he studied for the ministrv of the liaptist denomination, and in 1877 was ordained ,ind inducied into the pastorate
of the liaptist Church in Dundas. In 1880 he acce|)ted a pastorale in Itarrie, and two years later one in Waterlord ; and in 1885
came to Toronto to lake the pastoral oversight of his (iresenl charge. His labours here have been instrumental in building up a
large and still growing congregation, which erected, three years ago, a very comnuidiiius house of worship. Mr. Smith has held
the Secretaryship of the Home Mission Hoard of the Baptist Convention of Ontario and (,)uebec since 1888,

.Xuion;; the rif;ures of well known clergymen of the city, once familiar to the
citizens, was that of the Kev. Dr. John Jenniiins, for many years pastor of the Hay
Street I'nited I'reshyterian Church. Thi.i e\ccllent minister has lon^ since gone to
Ills rest, thouf;h his memory survives to-day in many breasts, and his laithful work
ill the ministry has, we are sure, borne no small fruit. The Hay Street U. !'. Church,
which was erected in 1,^48, has, in the march of improvements, also passed from
the scene, and its connregation has become merged in other gatherings of the I'res-
byteri.m ( 'Inirch. We are glad to preserve in these pages the likeness of an old and
worthy pioneer in the Cliristian ministry in this city, who in his <lay was faithful to
his sacred calling, and also took a warm interest in the cause of etlucation. Two
of his sons worthily represent his name in Toronto.
The Rev. Donald (1. Sutherland. D.D., 1.1,1!., Lite I'aslor of the Kim
Street Methodist Church, is a native of Toronto, having been born in the <itv in
iiS^i). I ii' is the son of t 'aplain l.niies Sutherland, a well-known owner of steam-
boats on 1. , ike Ontario, who was killeil in the Desjanlins Canal accident in 1S57. 'I'he
subject of this sketch was educated , it Il.imilton ColleLiiale Institute and at \'ictoria
University, where he took in 1 (lurMthe
degrees of 1!..\., .\!..\. and l!.D. lor a
time Mr. Sutherland inclined to the pur
suit of law as a profession, and w ith that
view he studie<l in the oltiie of Jiiilge O'Reilly, Hamilton, took the law course at
Toronto Univer'-ity, and obtained the degree of I.I,. I!. I le afterwards, however,
took a theological i-ourse. entered the Methodist Church as a probationer, and in
i.S(),S was ordained a minister b\ the late Rev. Dr. .Morley Tunshon. Ilisihief
a|ipoinlments have been in King^loll. (iall, Simcoe, St. 'Thomas, London, and Tor
onto. He !ias held positions in the Church as Chairman of District, Secretary of
Conference. Confereiue and L'niversity ICxaniiner ; and from N'ictoria L'niversity has
had the degree conferred upon him of Doctor of Divinity. The reverend gentleman
has also been a member of three Confereiues. Dr. Sutherland has travelled con
siderably in Ivastern countries, and has published in the denominational magazine
interesting accounts of ihe-e excursions. 'I'he aciouiUs are graphic and entertaining.
I'he (leneral Secretary of the Domestic and I'oreign Missionary Society of
the Church of laigland In Canada, the Rev. C. H. Moekridge, D.D., .\ssistant
.Minister in the Cluirc h of the Holy 'I'rinity, who is also editor of the Canadian
Church Misiiiuiary Mni^azine, is a resident of 'Toronto, so that in a sense 'Toronto
is now the headiiuarters of that Society. It was formed in i.S.S? by the Provincial
Synod assembled in .Montreal, and has for its Hoard of .Management the Hishops
of Ontario, (,)uebec and the Lower Provinces, together w'th two clergymen and two laymen from each Diocese of the Ij cle-

'The Church of St. .Stephen, the I'roto- .Martyr, on the icirner of College Street and Hellevue ,\venue, is one of tlu inkr-

TWV, iinli(iii-liiiil(k-is III' till' I'rovinci', :U the laying of its fouiulatiun, made provision lor tliu administration of law, and,
following liritish tradition, cnaclcd that in all matters of rontrovcrsy relative to property anti eivil rights in Upper
Canada resort should be had to the I,aws of ICngland as the rule for the decision of the same. These early legislators,
imhued with the spirit of the liritish Constitution, which they desired as freemen to follow as a model, then jiassed an
Act to establish trial by jury; and in the second session of the First Parliament of Upper Canada (held at Newark [Niagara] in
the summer of i 79_^), they abolished sla\ cry in the Province. Other measures of the time made provision for the erection of
court-houses, jails, and such other publii buildings, with the necessary let.al machinery, as were re(iuired in the various districts
into which the Pnjviiice was then divided. Prior to the constituting of the Province, the government of any settlements there
were in the West partook of the military i haracter which was introduced at the Conquest. If offences were committed, the
military commandant went through regular forms of law, and tried, and sometimes himself e.\e( uted, those whom he deemed
deserving of the death jienalty. 'I'he law pro( eedings were usually summary, and not infreiiuenlly irregular, the oflicer, as it
more than once happened, being judge, gaoler, sheriff and executioner. .\t the founding of the Province, there seems to have
been a Court in existence, designated the Court of Common Pleas, being part, no doubt, of the legal machinery of Lower
Canada. This Court, however, was abolished in 1794, and was not reestablished in Upper Canada until 1849. What took its
place was the (,'ourt of King's Hench. which was created by an .\ct of the Provincial Assembly (34 (ieo. III., ch. 2); and to
preside over the Court a Chief Justice and two Puisne judges were appointed. Hy the same .\ct a Court of .\ppeal was estab-
lished. The hrst Chief Justice of Upper Canada was the lion. Win. ( )sgoode, after whom Osgoode Hall is nameil, and his
appointment dates from 171)2, though he seems to have served in the newly ((instituted Province for only a little over a year.
The fust Puisne judges WTe the Hon. Wm. Dummer Powell and the Hon. John ICImslev, both of whom were appointed in
1794, the latter sncceedinu to the Chief Justiceship two years later. Judge Powell did not reach the Chief Justiceship until
iSiO. The Hon. John While, the first .Xtlorney (ieneral of Upper Canada, who, by the way, was killed In a duel, was
appointed when the Puisne' judges received their patents from the Crown. I'he Law .Society was first established in 17(^7 by
the .Vet 37 (ieo. III., ch. 1,5. which enabled the then legal practitioners in the Pro\ince to form themselves inio a siuiely and
make rules for its government. In 1S22, this .\ct was in part repealed .md amended by 1 Ceo. 1\'.. 1 h. 5, by which it was
ena( ted that "the treasurer and benchers of the Law So( iety, for the lime being, and iheir su( lessors, are declared to be a body
corpor.ite and politic by ihe name of the Law Societv of Upper Canada." Under the by-laws and regulations of the Society,
its affairs are goxerned by a lioard of IUtk h
ers, of which there are at present thirty elective
members (exclusive of c.v i'jffiiio members),
consisting for the most part of gentlemen of
high legal attainments and long standing in
the profession. The lienchers sit in Con-
vocation every term for the call of barristers,
the admission of altorneys and xilicitors to
practice, and of students to enter the Society,
the fees paid by whom form part of its revenue.
When, by the .\ct of i8j2, Ihe l,iw
Society was formally incorporated, a site was
sought in the city for Ihe Canadian "Inns of
Court." In i,S2,S the present site of ( )sgoode
H.ill w.is purchased from Sir John lieverley
Kobiiison, and the .Society proceedeil to the
erection and occupancy of its new nuartcrs.
As yet (1832), however, only the east wing
was completeil, and not till 1S45 was the
west wing erected, having a connecting hall
or corridor between the two, with a large Kksh imk ok .Mk. IIknrv o'Hkikn, i^).C'., Siieruoukne SiKKgr,

surmoimliny tlome. Some twelve years later, tlie ( eiilral structure was remoilelled, ami in the idiirse (H a lew years the whole
was completed, with a hamlsome/iiiv/i/c of cut stone. Of recent years, consideralile additions ha\e been made to the liiiildiiigs,
includinj; a fine Convocation Hall and a series of new Court rooms. Within and Hithnul, ()sj;o(iile Hall is now, architecturally,
an ornament to the ci'v. Here law has its chiel' home, .uid justice is doled out to the suitor in the various High Courts of the
Province. These now consist ol' the Supreme ( 'oiirt of Judicature, composed ot tlu' Chief Justice of Ontario and three Justices
of .\ppeal, and the High Court of Justice, of which tlure are three branches or divisions, having i oncurrent jurisdiction. The
latter are known as the (Queen's liench and Connnon I'leas Divisions, each presided over liy a Chief Justice and two jmlges,
and the Cham cry Division, presided over liy a Chancellor and three judges.'
It mav he said of law, not only in the Province hut in the Dominion as a whole, that il has drawn into the |irofession
more of tlie hrain and energies of the coiuUry than ha\e gone into any other pursuit or c.illing. h'rom this source, mainly, have
tlu- I'arli.unents and Legislatures of the
country drawn to a |ireponderaling extent.
This is partly accounted for hy the ne< es
sity for lawyers for ex|)ounding the Con-
stitution, for drafting Hills, and for giving
form and shape to the national and pro
vincial legislation, .\nother reason may
l)e found in the fact that the iircfession
are generally good and ready speakers.
Above all, they are usually practical men.
not theori/ers, and know how to econo
nu/e time ami e\pe<lite business. Com-
monly, also, their reputation is high and
their personal character unblemishe<l.
This is most trui\ maintained when one
speaks of the leading men who practice at
the liar, and of those, especially, who sit
on the liench. The high character and
independence of the judiciary of Canad.i
is the proud boast of the people. Doubt
less, no liale of this is due to the f ii t
that the judges are not dependent on the
appointing power, nor is their retention in
otiice subject to the will of the peopli-.
'I'hey hold tluir positions during good
behaviour, and can be riinovetl only li\
petition of both Houses of Parliament.
Their tenure of olfice is thus assured, and
in this respect the principle is al'ied to
that in T'.ngland, but imlike that in \ogUL
in many of the neighbouring Stales. .Most
:)f them, in their day, have fought in the
political arena, but of no one has it been
saiil that he has carried Party with him to
the liench. .Almost without exciption
have the) been honourable men, and h.ae
i>een spe( ially distinguished for their judi-
cial .mil dis|)assionate character. High,
particularly, has been the reputation, alike
for honour .ind ability, of the Chief Justices
and Ch.incellors of the L'pper Canada and
Ontario liench. Their names shed lustre
on a noble profession. Here is the roll
of the later ones, who have been personally known to many of the < iti/eiis of to-il.iy : Kobinson, .\Iacaulay, .NM.ean,
Richards, Draiier, Harrison, Moss, Cameron, and Hagarty, C/iief fusticfs : Hume Mlake, Spragge, N'ankoughnel, and liovd,
Chtincdlor^. High, also, has been the repute and the juridical status of their brethren on tlu' liench who have not attained
to the chief pri/.es of the judiciary. •There is hardly a name in the roll of the Provincial liem h that will fail to be remembered
not only in the legal records, but in the general annals, of the coualry. The liar, also, has known many eminent men, whose
gifts would do honour lo the l-iw in the .Motherland or imked to the highest professional circles of any (duntry. These pages
preserve the reconi of a lew of them.

one of the Churchwardens of St. James'

tario Public Places .Vssoiiation and a
member of the York Pioneers and of St.

7'. (loldie, which he successfully contested
in the highest Courts of the realm, Mr. I
Howland obtained the first judgment of
the Commissioner of Patents on the ap-
plication of the famous forfeiture clause which is still tlie governing deiision or that subject. In the long and involved case
arising out of the St. James' Cathe<lral Rectory funds .Mr. Howland represented ;he defendants and ably contested everv point
until the withdrawal of the rector of St. James" Cathedral from the suit brought the litigation to an end. .Mr. Howland takes

May i.^th, 1858. He made good use of the
national system of education of which the
Province of Ontario is justly proud. .Viler

Heighington to a large e\tent confined
himself primarily to that part of his profes-
sion which comes under the business of
solicitor, believing that it is disadvan-
tageous to attempt counsel work too early
in one's legal career. His liusiiiess consisted largely in the management of estates, the investment of moneys, and general
commercial matters sulijects which his previous training admiralily fitted him to deal with. The claims of his business have
been too exacting to allow of .Mr, Hoighiligton's taking any very active part in politics, but he holds Liberal views and has
attended Reform meetings. In religion, he is a liaptist of a broail and charitable type.

enterprise in the dni.u trade, imr was the medical pnilession thronged not to say glutted as it appears to he now. Vet men
lived then to a good old age, and barring periods
ol pestilence, few were wont to lie gathered to
their fathers until they were full ripe for the
sickle. 'The good people of the time did not
live in such a whirl as we do, and they took
more al enjoyment out of mundane existence.
There was therefore nut sn mu( h need of the
health officer, or of heneliciary .societies and
mortality statistics. 'The doctor was hut rarely

ICvil One and was past the chirurgeon's art.
Kven for the most persistent ailments, a posset
brewed by the family herbalist was counted a
more sovereign remedy than the (|iiassia of a
while faculty of physiiians. Troin an early
period in the l'ro\iiicial history we find mention
made, however, of doctors and licensed practi-
tioners. Commonly these were old armv sur-
geons who had emigrated to the colony, or hail
come to it on the staff of the first governors.
These early physicians, we read, carried medi-
( ines and a pair of tiny scales, weighing out
their prescriptions at the houses of their patients,
and their long(|ueues, powdered hair, and ruffleil
shirt fronts eiifoned the respect which their
professidii cdimnanded.
In the aliseiKc of any wurk, of an historical or liiographical character, dealing with the Medical Trdfession in the early
days of the Province, we have I'ounil it diltii ult to say much as an introduction to this chapter. ( )f a few of the first practitioners,
Dr. Scadding, in his 'I'oronto of Old. gives us some .account, and this we have been able to supplement through the courtesy of
Dr. CannilT, late City Health Otticer, and like the venerable historian of 'Toronto, an enthusiastic student of the civic and
Trovincial annals. 'This gentleman is at present, we are glad to know, preparing for the press an historical account, with
interesting original documents, of the Mediial Profession in Upper Canada, from the founding of the Trovince to the year
1S50. Its appearanie, we venture to think, will be eagerly looked for. Chielly from this source we learn some facts with
referenie to the pioneers df the profession and of the establishing of the Medical Schools. We are also indebted to Dr. I'yne
for some statistic al inlormation regarding the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
'The three most notable of the first practitioners in the city, were Drs. Win. Warren Haldwin, James Macaulay, and
(.;hristo|)her Widmer. I )r. Italdwin came to York (Toronto) towards the close of the last century, and was the first civilian in
the embryo capital to practice mediiine. He also entered upon the study of law and was duly legalized to |)ractice that pro-
fession as well as that of a doctor. Mis name is well know 1 in early Canadian history, and our readers need hardly be told that

llif hill over-looking Davenport Road and the spaeious avenue that hears the name of his residence. Drs. Maeaiilay and
Widnier were originally surgec/ns in the army. Dr. Ma<aulay, who w.is the lather of Sir James Macaulay, a distinguished
oeeupant of the L'pper Canada lieiuh, was attaehed to the 33rd Regiment and the ^Jueen's Rangers, of which (ioveriior .Simcoe
was Colonel during the ke\(ilutionaiy War. He removed from Niagara to Toronto aliout the year 171/1, and long practised his
profession in the city. Dr. U idmer, who was a Scrgion on the Cavalry Staff, began his medical career in Toronto in 1815 or
iHid, and was for many years a familiar figure in the professional and social lircles of the Capital, .\ssociated with Dr.
W'idmer for a time was Dr. I'eter Deihl, who came to the city from .Montreal, and died so recently as the year iSfi.S. In their
early careers, tluy monopoli/Ced almost the whole medical pra<ticc nf the town and vicinity. ,\nolher of the pioneer
medicos, w.is Dr. Thomas D. .Morrison, who com
inenced practice in \i)rk, in 1.SJ4. when Win. I. yon
.Mackenzie came to the pl.iie, and was a participant
with that "reliel" in the trouhles of i.S,?;. Dr. .Mor-
rison was one of the lirst aldermen, after the
ineorporation of the city, and its third .Mayor. Dr.
John Rolph is another of the notalile names of the
profession in the city, and he also, as we have seen,
wa; a sharer in the storm which disaffected Reform
at th. time breweil. .\mong other pre rehellion
practitioners were Drs. Daily, Rees, King. Ciwynnc,
Duggan, Crawl'ord, Hornby, and Mcllnuirray. Of
the later men, who have passed from the scene, a few-
names deserve to be chronicled here. These are Drs.
Hovell, lieaumont, Hodder, Hall, I'hilbrick, Darrelt,
Herrick, N'ieol, lierryman, l-'ulton, Russell, Campbell,
lladglev, and Hallowell. .\ few are still with us. such
as Dr. Joseph Workman, as connecting links with
the past. The later-day men the Ogdeiis, .\ikins,
Wrights, Richardsons, 'Thorburiis, Temples, liethunes,
Cirasetts, S|iragges, etc., worthily maintain the high
repute of the profession and do honour to the memory
of the distinguished men of their huuiane art w ho have
preceded them.
I'Voiii an early period there seems to have been
a Medical lioard in L'liper ( 'anada, for the licensing
of I'ractitioners, but of its organization aiul any legis-
lation passed in its behalf, it is dilliciilt now to obtain
information. Krom I )r. ( 'aniiiff we learn that the first
Medical School in the l'ro\ince was the .Medical
Department of King's College, which early in "the
fifties " became by .\ct of Parliament the University
of Toronto. The professors of that school were Drs.
Ciwynnc, King, lieaumont, Herrick, Nicol, SiilKvan
and ( )'llrieii. The school seems, however, not to have
fieen long in e\istence, the Legislature depriving the
L'niversity of its early .Medical and Law faculties.
Roliih's School of Medicine, which for a time foriiied
the .Medical Department of \ictoria College, Cobourg,
was founded by the Hon. Dr. Rolph in 1.S43, andwas
incorporated by Act of rarliament eight years later.
In 1.S5.5, it became the 'Toronto School of Medicine and was al'tiliateil with both 'Toronto and \icloria L'iii<\rsities. liesides
I )r. Rolph, it had on its teaching staff for a time, I )r. Joseph Workman, I >r. ( ieikie, I )r. ( 'annil'f, I )r. lierryman, 1 )r. .\ikins, and
Dr. Wright. 'The two latter gentlemen are still on the faculty, with some sixteen other medical men anil over a do/eii lecturers,
demonstrators and instructors. Dr. W. 'T. .\ikiiis is at present Dean of the T'ac nlty.
In 1.S50 Trinity .Medical .School was founded by Drs. Hodder, Hovell, Kadgley, and Uethune, and then became a Kaculty
of Trinity University. In 1855 ft it however cea.sed to be a Kaculty of the University, though in 1871 it was reorganized under
a Kaculty differently constituted but with many of the original professors. In 1877 the School was alVilialed with 'Trinity
University and to-day has a teaching Kaculty, with Dr. (Ieikie as Dean, composed of ten doctors of the city and twelve
lecturers and demonstrators.
In 1883, the Women's Medical College was founded, and is doing good work under Dr. Xevitt, Dean of the I'aculty,
and a leaching staff of over twenty professional men of the city. Toronto has also the following schools : the ( )ntario College

I'he Homeopathic Hospital, Jarvis Street (.see page j.S), had its inception in a
small free dispen.sary which the friends of Homeopathy opened in 1887, on Ri<li
inond .Street Mast. 'I'he movement was aided by the city with a grant and the
inslilulion was voluntarily attended by the physicians of this school, prominent
among whom were Dr. John Hall, Senior, and the late Dr. ( ampbell. I^arly in
1890. it was felt that there was a pressing need for a I loiheopathic Hospital, to
supjilement the work of the dispensary, and by means of private subscriptions and
an increased grant from the city, the first venture was made iii a house at the
(iMiKr of Richmond and Duncan Streets. The hospital was opened on January
17th. ttilh one patient and a staff consisting of lady siiperinlcndenl, caretaker and
housekeeper. I'.efore two months had elapsed the accommodation of the hospital
was found lo be utterly inadeipiale for the demands upon it. The preseni ipiarlers
were opened on May Sth, largely through the efforts of Ills Honour Judge Mac
dougall. .\ |)rivate ward was furnished by .Mrs. ( Irani .Mac donald, and the largest
public ward was furnished and ilecorated by .Mr. John Ross Robertson. I!y.\ugust
the average number of ])atients was seventeen and the calls upon the dispensary
averaged one hundred a week. 'Pile nursing staff had reached six a head ruirse
and live in training. Since ( )ctober a regular training school for luirses has been
organized, the members of which attend lectures by the medical staff. The hospital
movement has had the hearty endorsation of the members of the Homeopathic i)rofession in I'oronto.

The care of the sick has not been left in Toronto entiiely to the good (iriice-. of mcdiial n\cn. Willi the cue .ilso of

and Patriotic Society of the Province, being
unexpended moneys collected for the relic'
of sufferers in the War of 1812. an hospital
building was erected, in 1817, at the corner
of King and John Streets, near where the
.\rlinglon Hotel now stands. It was, how-
ever, not devoted to its purposes until i8.-!y,
the (iovernnient having appropriateil it five
years before for the housing of the Legisla-
ture, fire having destroyed the Parliament
Muildings. In 1854, the present Hospital
site, occupying four acres, on (lerrard Street

Another lienel'icent instiliition is the
Mouse of I'rovideme, I'ower Street, near liy
the (ieneral Hospital. It is .supported liy
the Kunian Catholic Church, and nianageil
by its worthy and self-denying sisterhood.
Its object is the relief of the aged, infirm,
and destitute of both sexes, without distinc-
tion of creed, and of hapless orphaned
luunam'ty. It well deserves the aid and
sympathy of the charitable. The Hospital
fiir .Sick Children, on College .\venue, at the
corner of IClizabeth Street, appeals with an
uiu|uestioned claim to every feeling heart.
The new and elegant building, which has
just been erected, shows the response of the
citizens to this excellent charity ; and its
bright interior, with the good offices of its
kindly management, will make glad the heart
of its suffering inmates. Towards the erection
of the new building, the 1 ity, in 1SS7, made
"a Jubilee (iraiU" of $20,000. The hospital
is designed fiir the relief of children as out-
door patients from birth to the age of fourteen
years, and for the reception of children as
in-door patients from two to fourteen years. In connection with the institution, thanks to the beneficence of Mr. b)hn Ross
Kobertson who gave the mom.-y for its erection, there is a convalesceiU branch on the Island, called the Lakeside Home.
St. Inhn's Hospital, on Major Street, is another excellent institution which well merits recognition in these pages.
In I'omiection with the hospitals, it is hard to refrain from saying a woril here of one or two of the city's charities,
though we hail hopeil, had space permitted, to have given them a separate chapter. The Industrial School is not altogether a
charity, for tlie I'rovincial Ciovermneru. we believe, contributes to its maintenance, as does the city, and the (iovernment has
given it a plot of eight acres at .Mimico, and leased it forty-two .acres in addition. The institution, which owes its inception to
the zeal of ICx-.Mayors \\ . H. Howkuid and \V. I!. McMurrich, well deserves the couiUenance anil support of the citizens. lCi|ually
dcsirving of support is the Newsboys' Lodging and Industrial Home, on h'reilerick Street, which receives the good offices of its
longtime I'riend and benefactor. Sir Daniel Wilson, and those of the zealous
Chairman of the Home, the Hon. Siiiator .Mian, !).('. I.. Of other deserving
charities we must content riurselves merely with their eiumieration, viz.; the
Home for Incurables, on Dunn .\venue ; the House of Industry, Kim Street :
the St. \i( holas Home, Lombard Street : the Infants' Home and Infirmary, St.
.\I.uv Street: the Hillcrest ConvalesieiU Home; the Wayfarers' Home; the
I'risoners' .\id ; the Ladies' Mission and Relief Society; the Haven fi>r Dis-
charged female I'risoners; the Industrial Refiige ; the Sunnysiile Children's
Home ; ;ind the Inilustri;d Refuge fi)r(iirls, a section of the 'nslitulion known
as the .Men er Keform;ilory lor (•'emales, which is supported by the I'rovincial
(iovernmeiU. I'o ;ill these i h;irities the city devotes about $30,000 yearly.
To these institutions h.ive to be ;uMed the Hoys' Home, on (leorge .Street ; the
Ciirls' Home, on ( lerrard Street L;ist ; and the ( )rph.ins' Home, on Dovercourt
Road all worthy objects of public beneficence. I'or the e\cellent man:igement
of these charities, the city is indebted to many philanthropic lailies of Toronto,
who find in them a worthy field fiir their activities. The Hoys' Home is designed
fi>r the training and maintenance of destitute boys not convicted of crime, from
the ages of (wi: to fi)urteen. 'The institution, which was opened in 1R59, afliirds
ai commodation for over 150 boys. Since its fiiimdation, it has afforded a home
fi)r nearly i.fioo boys. The dirls' Home was established as a public nursery in
the year 1857. Some three ye;irs huer, the institution was enlarged to admit girls up to the age of fifteen, and to train them
for household work. The Orphans' Home was founded in 1851 for the relief and support of all friendless orphans of members
of all Protestant denominations. Ilesides these charities, the city's destitute or distressed are materially helped by the various
n;itiiinal societies and benevolent organizations, ecclesiastical and industrial.

EDUCATION, from :iii iwrly period in the liisiory of L'pptr Cannila, lias had a large sliarc in tlu- iiitiTi'sts of tin-
juoplc, and few conuniinitics have more heavily and uncomplainingly taxed themselves for its support than have the
piil>lie of the City and the Province. The C'ity's annial assessment for I'lihlic Schools alone amoimts now to ahoiit
$fioo,ooo ; while it disburses nearly another himdred thousand in support of the Collegiate Institutes and Separate
Schools. These two sums exceed in amoimt the whole Legislative grant of the Provincial tlovernmeiit for the yearly mainten-
ance of all grades of the schools in Ontario, including the ilishurseineiit for inspection and general adininistration. Though
Separate Schools continue to he recognized and aided holh liy the City and the Province, the ICducational System of Ontario
is, in the main, unse<tariaii, and the Piililic Schools at least are free. The chief source of the school maintenance is local
taxation, aided liy (iovernnient grants from the public chest, supplemented, in a small measure, by some unexpended balance
from the Clergy Reserves I'uiid. The total annual expenditure for school purposes throughout Ontario is said to amount to
34 jier cent, of all the taxes collected upon the assessable property of the Province. Submitting to this enormous annual public

Her schools arc essentially popular institutions, organized and sustained for the education not of anv privili'ged order or class,
but of the masses. They are open to the children alike of the most we.dthy and the most humble home.
The Public .School System of the Province dates from llie year 1816, when the Legislature of L'pper Canada passed a
Common or ICIementary School Law, and appropriated /^5,ooo sterling -a like sum to be granted annually for the mainten-
ance of the .schools. Six years later, a Hoard of Education for the Province was established, which also for a time had un<ler
its supervision the Royal (irammar S<hools, for which provision had been made bv grants of the public domain when the
Pro\ince w,.s founded. It was not, however, until after the Cnion, in 1841. that eliicieiit provision was made throughout the
Province for national educuion. In 1844, a further impetus was given to the movement by the appointment of the Rev. Dr.
ICgerton Ryerson to the i hief superinteiulency, and a .s<hool system was founded of an e( lectic character, combining the best
features of the educational system in vogue in New Kngland and the Old World. Since that period the system then inaugurated
has made great strides, and ti -day there are close upon 6,000 sihoo] houses in the Province, emploving over 7,000 teachers,
with a registered school population of nearly half a million, liesides the Public .Schools, the Province maintains 115 High
Schools, of which twenty-six are Collegiate Institutes, employing over 400 highly-i|ualit"ied teachers, with a registered attendanie

busy days, our chiefs of commerce are too much oc( upieil in
their ventures to have time for the training of " raw material " in
their 1 lerkships, and the yoimg man who would set out favourably
in life is more likely to be succtsshil if, before entering an office,
he spent a session or tv.o in a Uusiness College. The Canadian

such an institution as a young man would I'md it aiKant.igeous to

AKI', like litiralUR-, is still in its iiifniu v in ('aii.ula. Our artists, liowcvir, have made a beginning, anil no little of their
wnrk is (Teililal)le tiillieni, parliciilarly in the less .imbitimis field of waterioldur painting. There is, naturally as yet, a
^ iiianifesi lack of originality and ol' ell'ort to fdiiiid a distinclively ( 'anailian School ol .\rl. W ork in oils is lor the must

that lioth the eye and the li.ind of ( 'an.idi.ui p.iinters have lieen trained in l-^ngland or on the Continent, and though they show
cultivated taste and more (jr less of paiii,-.taking effort. tlie\ l.ick originality of design and that true art power to grasp and execute
a good native suliject. In water colours, _ '-"Hm
Canadian artists are not open so nuich to
this charge ; though even in this department
there is a tendency to draw inspiration, not
from N.iture, liut from Old World models,
and |iarlicularly Irom the Impressionist
School of h'rance. This, perhaps, is a phase
of art life in Canada through which it has
to pass liefore it rises to the higher region of
original and < reative work. Increased study,
less lonvi'iilional and more original treat
ment, and a greater deteriniiialion to go
directly lo Nature for sulijei ts lor the brush
and for the inspiration for their adeipiate
execution, will doubtless cause these defects
in time to disappear. .\ greater measure of
competent art critici.Mii will also be helpful
in improving the work of our native artists.
with a more liberal encouragement of art by
the well to do <lasses in the c (luntry. With
the wealth and variety of natural beauty in
( 'anada, the picturesc|ueliess of some aspects
of its life, especially in Irencli Canada and .imong the Indians and half breeds on the great |)lains of the West, there is no
nasoii why the v.Drk of our artists should be commonplace or lacking in originality and local colour. Historical subjects,
particularly in the l-'rencli regime, abound, which it can hardly be said ha\e as yet been touched. Incidents in the life of the
settler ar.d pioneer furnish many themes for trealmelU. while the woods and waters of the country supply unlimited material for
the dell handling of the skilled artist. Canadian sports, and many of the outdoor industries such as lumbering, fishing, lish-
drying and canning, running rapiils in a i anoe, and numerous agricultural operations, lend themselves lo art treatment ; while
art education is beioming increasingly necessary in the more skilled artisan pursuits, in the factories and workshops.
I.ixal art assoi iations in some of I'le chief cities of the older I'roviiKOS have iieeii in existence for a number of years and
have done much to idiicate taste in tile fine arts. The Royal ( 'anadian .\cadeiny. founded al ( )ttawa, in iS.So, by Lord l.orne,
has also given a great impetus lo .\rt in Canada. In 'Toronto, private enter|)rise li.is supplied the city with an excellent Callery
of .\rt, ai lessible and well-lighleil. Here loan exhibitions of paintings, engravings, cerainiis and other works of art, are period-
ically held, besides the attractive exhibitions of the permanent collection. In the I'rovinceof Ontario, a local Society of .\rtists
was founded a number of years ago and has done mudi to educate the public taste and evoke an intere.st in Art, which hitherto
had nothing but the annual exhibitions al Ihe .\gri<iiltural I'airs upon which to feed. Though this Society has done much to
raise the stanilard of excelleme among local arlisis, and, in its art rooms and annual exhibitions, to furnish the means of bring-
ing art productions before the public, the limiteil wealth of the lomimmity h.is failed to givi' the Society that measure of support
needful for its active inainlenance. Nor has it been able, with the aid of a small (lovernment grant, to keep out of debt. Its
financial management of recent years has also been unfortimale. Tor a number of years the Ontario Society of .\rtists
maintained for the use of its lucinbers and such pupils as had a desire to study .\rl, classes for model and life drawing and

The i)ro(;ress oltlie art of Misic in 'I'Dronto during the past twenty years has been connnensurate with the material
growth of the city. 'I'wiiuy years ago, there was not a single choral or orchestial socielv in evistence, the 'roronto Musical
Union, formed l)y Mr. John Carter, in iSdio, having died for want of support. One or two perforin.nices of oper.i and an
occasional concert constituted the artistic eihicational amusement of the niusic,\l pulilic. Mow great an advance has since been
made may he best appreciated by calling to mind that there are now in active oper.Uion two associations for the production of
oratorios and other works reipiiring both
chorus and orchestra, I'he i'hilharmonii- and
( horal Societies ; two orchestral societies, the
Toronto Symphony Ori hestra, and the 'I'or-
rington Orchestra, and two societies for the
practice of unacconipanied part-songs, the
'I'oronlo \'ocal Society and the llaslam \iical
Soiicty. There are now, moreover, three
thcalrc-. an<l several |iublic halls, at which
music.il enlcrlaiiunenls are often ' given.
While in 1S70 a proiluction of opera was a
rare occ urrem c, we fmd that during the sea-
s{in i.s,S()()o, no fewer than fifty si\ operatic
performances were given, while the mnnber
of different operas presented was twenty-six.
.\mong the l)rii- dramas put on the Toronto
stage within the past five yc.irs then' m.iy be
mentioned as specially worthy of note, W ag-
iier's •■ Tlying Dutchman" and " Lohengrin,"
< loldiii.irk's " (Juecii of Sheli.i," .Meycrbei'r's
"l.es Huguenots," and Rossini's "William

late ye.irs few artists of renown who have
visited the L'niled Slates ha\c omi'.led lo
appear in the cil\. Still another leaturc ol
recent years has been the foundation and
development of two large teaching institu-
tions, the Conservatory of .Music and the
College of .Music, I'onducted on the plan
found so successful by the Musical 'Training
Schools of Tairope.
The event which perhaps may be
considered the most eonsiiicuous l.indm.uk
on the road of progress w.is the .Musical

I'eace Jubilee held in lioston ; was one of the solo organists who gave recitals upon
the grand organ in the lioston Music Hall, and also took part in the first concert.
Shortly aher the Jubilee, he ac<eptcd the position of organist of King's Chapel,

The standard of music set up by Mr. 'rorringlon has been ihal of the most eminent church composers, and the inHuence thus
exerted has been an important factor in
establishing a correct taste fiir good < luirch
music in Toronto. I'he field of Mr. I'or
rington's labours outside his church work
has been largely in <-onnection with the
Philharinoni<- Society, through which
medium, the standard oratorios, < antatas,
miscellaneous vocal and instrumental
works of the great composers have been
studied and introduced to the i'oronto
public, .\uioiig the most celebrated of
these are "ICIijah" ('iw'.; times), "Messiah "
(six times). " Redemption " (twice), and
".Mors cl \'ita." Ciounod; "Rose of

the grand Wagner operas, etc.. etc. The
result of .Mr. 'I'orrington's work was
manifested at the Toronto Musical lesti-
val held in June, 1.SS6. at the Caledonian
Rink. Not the least amongst Mr. Tor

I'rok'ssor I. V. Davis was liorn at Oakville, in the year iS^^s. Alter
having received a lilieial education he removed to Toronto, in i<S55, since which
time his name has liecome lainous in eoiineetion with the art of ilancing.
Professor Davis is the author of "The Modern Dance Tutor," which has had a
large eireulation. lie is the originator of a numlier of popular dances, including
the lersev Ripple, I.e llronco, Thireka, (lavotte Lancers and others. He has
invented a method liv which the aei|uisition of new dances is greatly simplified.
Professor I )avis is a memlier of the .National .Xssocialion of 'Teachers of I )aiicing
of the United Slates and Canada. The fancy dances composed liy hini for the
recent Kermesses received very favouralile comment. Instruction in instrumental
music and calisthenics, as well as dancing, is given liy Professor Davis, at his
residence, on Wilton .\veiiue.
With all thai has lu'cn said of music and musicians, the confession, we
fear, miisl lie made that 'Toronto is not distinctively a musical city. The masses
perhaps are more fond of sport. N'el Toronto possesses twci good military hands and some excellent musical conductors, with
more than average material for park and island instrumental c mic erts. I'ew out-door entertainments kir the people are m<ire
worthy of encouragement than these summer hand c (ineerts on the island and in the city parks. In attracting the masses to
them, they not only afford innocent delights, liul are potent counter attractions to the sensational drama and the saloon.

liidc of the industries of Toronto ram
it honour, aiul mark with ilistinciivc
cmpliasis the transformation wliicli luis
come over the lity from the savagery of its early
wilds. It lias been often said, that we of this
generation live in an ago of artilieial wants ; hut
this is h.irdly true of the people of Toronto, if
our wants are wholly met liy the mamifaitures
of the native market. In the main, it is utility
rather than ornament that employs the labour
of the loial artisan and craftsman. Our want.s,
of course, have gone beyond those of the savage,
.iiul even beyond the wants of the early settler.
Hut this is merely to say that we, as a people,
have advaiiceil with the civili/alion of the lime,
and have sought to share the comforts and to
utilize the machinery with which science and
invention have endoweil our modern age. At
an eariier period, wood and the products of
wood used to be sufiii'ient for our needs. If
we have gone beyond that era of simplicity, it
does not follow that we have become artilieial.
It means merelv that we are economizing the
, 111' 1 1 LaKKVIEH HorEl, I'ARLIA.MF.NT STRRF.r.
materials which are now becoming scarce, and
making use (>f those which are more durable and better adapted for our wants. It is marvellous the extent to which the metals
are now fade use of in almost every branch of manufacture ; and Science is daily placing its triumphs at the service of man,
to enlarge the range of his achievement, as
well as adding to the hum of industrv. Here
toil and skill are happily put to beneficent
uses. It is not in the making of rilles, can-
non, ironclads, or other agents of destruc-
tion, that industry is here employed ; but
rather in the useful arts and the lile.ssed
servi<e of peace. Much is also locally being
manufactured which we used to imiiort. In
this respect we have become more enter-
prising as well as more self sul'ticing. AVo
no'v build our own locomotives, cars and
steamships ; m.mufacture all the material for
our bridges anil bouses ; and even forge and
fashion the ma< hiiiery for turning out ma-
chinery. In this latter regard, it is to be
feared, the saying is true, that the tool some-
times overshadows the wo k'liaii. It is
noticeable that much of our machinery re-
flects .\meri<an, rather than Ilritish, inlluence.
Here our craftsmen have shown themselves
adepts at adaptation. Perhaps, however,

whole peace-loving and just. Here legislation ' ^
and humane sentiment have been actively on
the side of labour. This the workman no
doubt sees, and he is fair enough to
acknowledge that compared with Old World
experiences, industry in Toronto is pursued
under good auspices.

famous " Mrown .\iitoniatic ICngine,' largely used in the chief cities of Canada, and of which the Montreal i:ieclric Light Co.
alone have ten in use. The Company have also at Owen .Sound perhaps the most thoroughly ei|ui|iped ship-building works on
the Continent, and e(|ual to any of s'-iiilar capacity on the Clyde. They are also the owners of the Owen Sound Dry Dock,
which is of siilhcient capacity to lloat the largest vessels on om' inland seas. .\l Owen Sound the Company conduct an industry
of the first magnitude in the Dominion, and have turned out from their yards some of the finest steel vessels afloat on Canadian

'I'lie Ontario Holt Company,
established many years ago, took
possession of their present extensive
premises at Swansea, near the Hiini-
her, in 1.S84. The buildings com-
prise a large factory, warerooms,
iflices and outbuil<lings, and are
ei|uipped with steam hannners and
the most modern machinery for the
manufacture of bolts, nuts, carriage
irons, and forgings of various kinds.
It would rei|uire five hundred men to
fully work all the machinery at one
time, and from three hundred to
three hundred and fifty hands are
now employeil. The products of this
factory are shi|)ped as far cast as
Halifax, and as far west as Van(;ou-
ver. The bridge rods and bolts, and
track bolts and spikes for most of the
railroads now being built in the Xorth-
W'esl, were made by the Ontario liolt Company. In the rolling mills adjoining the liolt Works, about two hundred men are
em|)loyed day and night, making in all from .seven hundred to one thousand men and boys who find work in this immense industry.
With sue h enter]irises as this in our iniilst, Canada may fairly claim a share in the industries that mark our epoch as an iron age.
The Dominion Saw and Lead Works, and m-nal warehouse, owned and operated i)y Messrs. James Robertson S: Co.,
was established twenty-live years ago, by Mr. James Robertson, of .Montreal. There are branches in Montreal, Winnipeg, St.

in the manufacture of lead pipe, shot and .saws. They are the most extensive grinders of white lead and colours in the
Dominion, and are extensive importers of heavy metal goods. The firm is an enterprising an<l successful one and conducts a

Mr. T. .\. Heintzman, founder of the well-
known piano firm of .Messrs. Heintzman vV Co., was
horn in Merlin, Prussia, May ijth, 1S17. At the
age of fourteen he engaj^ed in the manufacture of
piano keys and actions, and fi)ur years later, in
i8,?5, he entered the famous liruno manufactory to
learn piano-making in all its branches. In 1840,
he began business in lierlin as a piano nianufac-
tiirer. Coming to .\nierica in 1850. he spent two
years in New ^■ork, and eight years in liiilfalo,
hxating in Toronto, and fianiding the present
enterprise in 1860. He has now assisting him in
the business his four sons, Hermann, William,
Chailes, and (ieorge, all of whom are piano
experts. 'I'he immense factory of the ( lompany, at
West Toronto Junction, emi)loys 150 hands, and
turns out some 800 pianos anmially. .Messrs. Ileint/man V Co.'s |)ianos are all of
the highest class, and have secured fi)r the house an exceedingly good reputation.
These instruments have met with the approval of the musical world, and besides
supplying a large part of the Canadian market, have been very successful in ICngland.

Mr. John Mcl'herson Taylor,
Manager of the Toronto Radiator Manufacturing C'onipany (Limited), was born at
Helfast, Ireland, on the 24th of May, 1865. Coming to Canada with his parents, who settled in Toronto, he attended the Vork-
ville Public School until he was twelve years of age, when he entered the office of Mr. James Morrison, brass-founder, and at
eighteen had attained the position of head salesman and purchasing agent. Upon the organization of the Toronto Radiator
Maiuifaciuring Coni|)any, Mr. 'Taylor became Manager of the Company, and in January, iSyo, was made Secretary -'Treasurer,
and now fills all these positions. The Toronto Radiator Manufacturing Company is a joint stock association, composed of
several local manufacturers, and was formed for the purpose of making the .Safford Radiators, for hot water and steam heating.
'The house is one of the largest establishments of the kind in the Dominion ; the factory, on Dufferin Street, having a floor
space of nearly five acres, and employing over one hundred hands. Mr. 'Taylor is a young mai to be at the head of such an
im|)ortant manufacturing industry. That his services have been appreciated by his employers and associates, however, is
attested by numerous valuable testimonials, accompanied by various illuminated addresses. Among the testimonials which he
chiefly prizes are a gold watch, presented him by a former employer, Mr. James Morrison, and an illuminated address presented
bv steamfitters and dealers in steamfitters' supi)lies in Canada and the United .States.
The business carried on at the extensive premises, 24 Front Street West, of which we give interior and e.xterior views,

grandson of the late Hon. James I'Vrrier,
member of the Dominion .Senate, and for
many years Chairman of the Canadian
Hoard of Directors of the (irand 'I'rimk

the .Mcdill High .School. .After leaving
school he entered commercial life in
Montreal, and later on in Chicago.
Returning to Montreal, he took a position
in a prominent wholesale dry -goods house.
In 1875, Mr. Maefarlane located in Wood-
stock, Ontario, anil engaged in business
on his own account, in which he continued
five years. When the N. 1'. was inaugurated he decided to en;'ai';e in manufacturing, and in 1880, settled in Toronto, and
entered upon his present undertaking. The firm of Maefarlane, AlcRinlay & Co. now turn out .ibotit 10,000 yards per week t)f
painted shade cloth, which leave the factory in three several styles either in pairs artistically decorated, finished with fringes or
laces, or in plain tints. Mr. Mai farlane is a Royal .\rch Mason, and a member of the Royal Canadian \acht (,'lub. Mr. .\.

Arcanum. He is a successful man of business,
and was connected with some of our largest
wholesale dry-goods houses, and at one time
interested with his father in the lumber trade.
Only in recent years has the attempt
)cen made in Canada to utilize photography,
in what is called a process-picture, for book
illustration. In 1888, The (^inadian I'hoto-
ICngraving liureau wasestabli.shed, at 20,5 \'onge
Street, in this city, for that purpose, and began
to supply the local demand which already
existed for artistic halftone engravings. In
addition to halftones for books and magazines,
ine engravings are here made for newsp.iper and
advertising purposes. .\ large proportion of the
illustrations for "Toronto Old and New" were
made at The Canadian I'hoto iMigraving liureau,
and tell their own story. Mr. I. I'. .Moore, the
senior proprietor, is a native of l.oiulon, lang-
uid, where he was born in 1863. In 1871, he
came to Canada. In 1879, he removed to the
United States, and after experimenting in Art
methods, he returned to Ontario, where he was
attached to the CiH/> Printing and Publishing
<!()., as foreman of the .Art department. He
reliiKiuished that position to inaugurate the

as it were, llie life lilood of her industry, and impart liealtli as well as vigour to her frame. It is uixin llie hanks and
monetary institutions of a town, with the organization of creiht which they control, as well as upon the enterprise and
energy of its commeriial and industrial <lasses, that the edifice of prosperity is huilt up. Toronto divides with
.\loiureal tlie repute of being at once the seal and the nerve-centre of Canadian finance. In these two cities are the hea<l-
((uarlers of our great Hanks, with a total assets, available in the main for the transactions of Connnerce, of something like two
hundred millions of dollar^ 'I'heir combined paid-up capital is not far short of a fourth of this amount. 'I'heir financial
position and management are such as to extort admiration, and give at the same time the amplest security to the investing and
borrowing |)ublic. The inteit'st of both these classes is further protected by the National ('lovernmenl, in the wise and safe
provisions of the Hanking .\ct, and in the security it exacts before an institution can open its doors for business. The chief
banking institutions having their headcpiarters
in the city are the Commerce, 'I'oronto, Im-
perial, Dominion, Ontario, .Standard, and
Traders' Hanks ; while those having branches
here are the Montreal, liritish. Merchants',
(^•uebec, Cnion, Molsons and Hamilton
Hanks. To these is about to be added, by
the enterprise of Mr. (\. \V. N'arker, one of
our ablest and best known bankers, the \'ork
County Hank, an institution which, it may
safely be predicted, will a.ld materially to
Toronto's legitimate banking facilities and to
the renown which existing institutions have
brought her. I'liblic convenience is further
served by the Savings Hanks, which of recent
years have become a useful adjunct to many
of the chartered banks, by the I'o.st Otiice
and Covernment Savings Hanks, and by the
Loan, Savings and Investment ( ompanies
doing business in the city. The facilities of
these institutions are great, and public confi-
• lence in them is well grounded. Of Loan
and Investment Companies, there are now
twenty-five, having their head(|uarters in Tor-
onto, with a total assets of over sixty-three
millions. Their paid capital amounts to twenty-three millions, and they place fiirty millions more, raised on debenture or on
deposit, at ;he financial service of the public. There is little need to say much here in commendation of those beneficent
enterprises, which mark the provident iharacter and the humanity of the age, the Life, Lire and Marine Insurance Companies,
In their operations, aside from their practical benefit, they remove from the mind of the wage-earner, and all ranks of toil, a
load of anxiety which would in many iistances become an intolerable burden. The following pages present to the reader some
of these institutions, as well as those connected with finance, whose operations are part of the multiform features of Toronto's
cosmopolitan trade.
Of late years, architecture has done great things fi)r financial Toronto. What it has done for two or three of our banks
it has doiu' and is doing for several of our great insurance otVices. 'Though not imposing in appearan<e, the Toronto Hranch
of the Hank of Montreal is, within and without, one of the most artisti( buildings in the city. Substantial, as well as attractive,
are the edifices recently erected fiir the Standard Hank and the 'Traders' Hank. 'The branch of the (^)uebec Hank, if we <:an

$800,000, and thirty-eight branches, in addition to five local agencies in different sections of the city. It has also branches in
Montreal and New Vork, and agents and correspondents in the chief money mirts of the world, upon whom its letters of
credit and bills of exchange are drawn. The institution has been of the greatest service to the industrial and commercial
interests of Toronto, and its present management justly merits the confidence of all classes of the community. Its stock is
(|iioted at \2(\, and it usually pays an eight per cent, annual dividend. It has a strong Directorate, and possesses in .Mr. 1!. V..
Walker, the (leneral .Manager, a banker of great ability and extensive experience. The following compose the Hoard and
ofticers of the liank ; (ieorge A. Cox, President; John I. Davidson, \'ice-l'residenl ; James Crathern, W. li. Hamilton, John

The Hank of Toronto has for more ,^
than a generation been one of the most use <(B**
ful, as well as stable and representative, of ff , _. '
the monetary institutions of the city. Its • >■
charter dales back to the year 1H55 ; but its
authorized capital, of two millions, was not
wholly issued or paid up until twenty years
afterwards. Hesides this capital, the liank
has by uniforndy good management accumu-
lated a rest of seventy-live per cent, of its
paid-up stock. .\t its last general meeting,
the Hank added $100,000 to its total rest of
$1,500,000, besides paying a half-yearly
dividend of five per cent, and carrying a
substantial sum to the credit of its profit and
loss account. The net profits of the last
financial year were not far from $500,000;
and its tcit;il assets were in the neighbourhood
of eleven and one-half millions. Its stock
is now cpioted at izi. Hesides its Mead
Offices in Toronto, the Hank has Hranches
at .Montreal, London, Out., Harrie, Hroc k-
ville, Cobourg, Collingwood, Cianaiioc|iie,
Peterborough, Petrolia, Port Hope, and St.
Catharines. It has also agencies in New
N'ork, and in London, Kngland. The fine |)remises of the Hank in I'oronto (see illustration on i)age 47), were erected in 1H62.
Its management has fo. a long series of years been exceptionally good, and it naturally enjoys a most excellent financial reputa-
tion. Its administration has always been wi.sel; conservative, though it is an institution which has extended to the exjianding
commerce of the city such facilities as legitimate expansion seemed to need and its large resources could well supply. In its
cashier, .Mr. Duncan Coiilsc.c, the Hank of Toronto has had fi)r many years an ofiicer of acknowledged ability, experience and
sagacity ; and it |)osses.ses a Directorate composed of men of sound judgment and large wealth. 'The Directors for the present
year are .Mr. ( Ieorge Cooderham, President ; Mr. Wm. H. Heatty, Vice-President; and Messrs. A. 'T. Inilton, Henry Covert,
John Leys, Henry Cawthra, and W. (i. (iooderham. Mr. Hugh Leach is .A.ssistant Cashier, and Mr. J. Henderson, Inspector.
'The Imperial Hank of Canada was incor|)orated by an Act of the Dominion Parliament, in 1874, and opened its doors
for business on the ist of .March, 1875. Its first Hoard of Directors were Messrs. H. S. Howland (late \'ice- President
Canadian Hank of Commerce), W'm. Ramsay, John Smith, Patrick Hughes, Robert Carrie, 'T. R. Wadsworth, and John I'isken.
Mr. I). R. Wilkie, formerly Manager of the Hranch of the (Jucbec Hank in Toronto, was apiioiiited Cashier. In 1S75, authority
was obtained from Pariiament fiir the amalgamation of the Niagara District Hank with the Imperial, which was c-onsummated
in the same year. Hy this arrangement the Hoard was strengthened by the accpiisition of Mr. 'T. R. Merritt and the late Hon.
Senator Henson, the former being the President, and the latter the Vice-President, of the well-known St. Catharines' institution.
Since then, the Hunk has succeeded beyond the expectations of its founders, and, from a comparative!) >.iiall institution, has

The Home Savings\- Loan Company
(Limited), of which the Hon. Senator Trank
Smith is President, and .Mr. James Mason
(.Major of the Roval (ircnadiers) is Manager,
grew out of the 'Toronto Savings liank, which
was established in 1S54, under the authority
of .Acts 4 and 5 \'w. This institution proved a most usei'iil one to the farmers, and to the working classes of the 1 at a time
when savings banks were either unknown or few in number, for it gave an incentive to thrift and led the wageeat r to make
provident provision for ill-health or old age. 'The .Act under which savings banks were originally established in C.' ..da having
been repealed, it was considered desirable lo continue the business of the 'Toronto Savings liank, and to a(T<rd .-"id maintain
opportunities for its beneficent working. 'The Home .Savings &.• Loan Company (Limited) was therefore incorporated, and in
1S78 an agreement was entered into between the two institutions, and sanctioned by .Act of the Dominion Parliament, whereby
the business of the Savings Bank was taken over by the new Company. Hy the same agreement, a sum representing the surplus
profits of the Savings liank, amounting to $20,000, was paid by the Companv, and this sum, bv the terms of the agreement and
.\ct, is held as the 'Toronto Sa\ings liank (Charitable 'Trust, and controlled bv 'Trustees appointed under the same .Ait, and
having no connection with the Company. The yearly earnings of this 'Trust are divided among some of the charitable institu-
tions of the city. 'The former President and N'ice-President of the Savings liank Hon. Frank Smith and .Mr. ICugene O'Keefe
— are and have been since its organiration the President and Vice-President of the Home Savings iS; Loan Company. 'The
other Directors of the Company are .Messrs. William T. Kiely, John Toy, and lulward Stock, with Mr. James J. Toy, (J.C\, as

Mr. James Mason, .Major of the Roy.il (iren.idiers, and the popular manager of
llie Home .Savings and Loan Company (Limited), was born of Irish parentage in the
City of Toronto, August 25th, iS^. .\fter receiving his education at private schools,
and at the Toronto .Model School, where he was head boy, he entered the olVue of
the late Mr. Walter Mackenzie, Clerk of the C'ounty Court, and remained there several
years. .Mr. .Mason intended to study surveying and civil engineering, but owing to
the discouraging prospi'cts of the profession in his youth, his attention was turned to
banki'.g. laitering the employment of the Toronto Savings liank in iSfifi, he was
appointed assistant manager in 1X72, and manager in the following year. He
remained in that position till the business was taken over, in i<S7(), by the Home
Savings \- Loan Company, and has since continued to be manager of the new and
now nourishing institiUion. The Home Savings \- Loan Company, whose offices
arc at 7S Church St., and of which the Hon. Senat<;r T'rank Smith is President, has an
authorized capital of $j, 000,000. It enjoys an excellent reputation as one of the
most useful, as well as sound, financial institutions in the city. Under Mr. Mason's
able and prudent management, it has of recent years added largely to the volume of its
business. Mr. .Mason finds til ' to fulfil the active and patriotic duties of a citiz.en. He was I )irector for several years of the Toronto
.Mechanics' Institute and its last I'lesident when the institution was merged into the h'ree l'ubli<- Library. In the founding of the
latter he look a warm interest as a member of the Hoard of Trustees and served as its chairman. On his retirement he was
presented with a handsome address. He was also one of the promoters of the .\tlien;viun Club and its first President. .\
taste for military life led .Mr. Mason, early in the sixties, to join the (Jiieeii's Own killes. As a passed cadet of the .Military
School, he was appointed to a commission in the corps, the organization of which was untlertaken at the time of the I'enian
Raid, but was abandoned at its suppression. In iS.Sj, he was appointed to the e<immand of one of the two companies which
were then added to the Royal (irenadiers. During the Xorth West Rebellion, he served as Captain of No. 2 Service (Company
of his Regiment, and was present at the action of T'ish (!reek, on which oicasion his Company, at his own reipiest, was the first
to cross the Saskatchewan to cover the crossing of the remainder of the column, and to support the other half of Cienerai Mid-
dleton's force then engaged with the rebels. Speaking of the feat then aii'oinplished, Cienerai .Middlelon thus reports : "'To
fully appreciate the rapidity with which this was done, in spite of the difficulties which existed, the river must be seen ; wooded
heights on each side, one hundred feet high
- at bottom, large boulders encrusted in
thick, sticky mud a fringe of huge blocks of
ice (m e.ich side ; a wretche<l s<()w, carrying
about sixty men at most, pulled with oars
made with an axe, and a rapid current of
about three or four miles an hour, were the
obstacles to be surmounted by dint of deter-
mination and anxiety to join with and aid
their comrades." On reaching the scene of
the fight and learning that the attempts to
capture the position occupied by the rebels
had failed. Captain .Mason volunteered with
his Company to charge this point, but the
Cicneral declined the offer, saying there were
" too many valuable lives lost already.'' At
the eng.igement at liatoche, No. 2 Company
was one of those that gallantly led the attack,
and here Captain Mason received a gunshot
wound in his right side while .advancing on
the rebel rifle-pit.s. The wound proved a
severe one, and he suffered a long time from
its effects. Mr. Mason, as an esteemed,
useful and patriotic citizen, enjoys the respect
of the community and the confidence of Cosi;rave's Urewerv, Quekn Strkkt West, Corner ok Niagara Strket.

.Mr. I. 1. Kenny. .Managing- (
Director of the Western .\ssuraiice
(,'ompany, was born in London, I'.ng
land, in the year 1X46. Coming to
Canada with his parents when ipiite a
lad, he was educated in Hamilton, and
commenced his insurance career, at
the age of eighteen, as a clerk in the
agency office of Mr. Ceorge .\. Voung,
the then representative of the Koyal
for that district. .Mter four years thus spent, he was for a short time in the
em|)loyment of the Can.ida Life .Assurance Company. Two years later he accepted
a position on the staff of the Western Assuran<e (,'ompany, and for nineteen years
he has remained in their ser\iee. I'roni clerk he rose to be agent at Toronto,
Inspector, .Secretary and Managing- Director. The phenomenal progress of this
Company, since he took charge in 1H80, is due in no small degree to .Mr. Kenny's
skill and energy.
The Confederation Life .\ssociation is one of the most substantial and
successful of Can.idian Insurance Companies. It is a home company, doing
business e.xclusively in ('an.ida, and was incorporated by the Dominion I'arliament
in 1871, with a strong body of directors, under the presidency f)f the late .Sir Kraneis Mincks, K.C.M.Ci. In 1874, Sir W'ui. I'.
Howl.ind, C.H., succeeded to the presidency, and has since held that position in the Company, aiding it largely with his iiwture
experience and .sound judgment. The .Association has also had the benefit, for nearly twenty years, of the business ability and the
wi.se counsels of a number of inlluential men, chiefly well-known residents of the city. I'rom the first, thanks in the main to
the careful and capable .■idininistration of Mr. J. K. Macdonald, .Managing-Director, the Company has met with uni|ualified
success. Its volume of current business has grown fr<mi an amount under two millions in 1873 to nearly eighteen millions in
i88g, while its assets within the same period have ex|xiiuled from $1 13,293 to $2,894,502, or, including the capital of the
institution, to $3,800,000. During the pitst year alone, the incrcise in tlie volume of insurance in force amounted to nearly a
million ; while the increase in assets, available in part as policy-holders" profits, was not far from $350,000. Results so
gratifying as these figures show, denote not only, as we have said, successful management, but the public confidence and
favour which suct'essful management inspires. Something is also no doubt due to the liberal character of the Company's

.Mr. .Maleolm (libbs, Ixirn in
(ilasgow, Scotland, .May i8th, 1^,57,
was educated at (ilasgow University.
Coming to Canada a young man, his
interest in his adopted country did not
make him forget his native land. .Mr.
(libbs has been ideiitilied with all the Scotch societies in Toronto, and was Presi-
dent of St. Andrew's Society, of which he is now the popular Manager. His name
lias been intimately connected with the insurance and real estate business in
I'oronto for man; years past. He has taken a dee)) interest in moral reforms, and
".IS formerly President of the Temperance Reformation Society, and District Chief
of the Independent Order of (iood Templars. He is a Pa.st Master of Rehoboam

Mr. Riihard W'ickins, insurance agent, is an laiglishnian, and was born
.\ugiisl i.?lh, 1826. Coming to Canada while (piite young, animated by a desire to
remain under the old Hag of the lam' of his birth, he received in this country an education specially designed to fit him for com-
mercial life. His connection with the C'ommereial Union .\ssurance Company, of London, ICngland, for some years past has
caused a large amount of Canadian insurance to go to that reliable Company. Mr. Wiekens takes an active interest in his
fellow-countrymen whr) come to Cana<la, being a member of St. (ieorge's Society. His denominational connection is with the
Methodist Church, of which he is a worthy and devoted meml)er.
Mr. .Mfred W'ightman Smith is a native of I'oronto. He was born in this city in .September, 1847, when what is now the

Mr. Kyre Thuresson. J. I'., was horn of United Knii)ire Loyalist stock, at Picton, Prince Kdward County, .Xpril 17th,
1831;. His education was imparted bv private tuition. During the SandfieldMacclonald adnn'nislration, Mr. 'Tluiresson was
appointed one of the justices of the Peace for the South Riding of Wentworlh. I'rom 1850 till iSfio he operated extensive
agricultural implements works at .\ncasler, which he relinquished to enter upon in c maiuifaiture of knitteil goods. The lirsl
Canadian factory for the production of card clothing for wool and cotton carding machinery was established by Mr. Thurcsson,
in 1866. After carrying this enterprise on for thirteen years, the worthy gentleman retired from active business. Since locating
in 'Toronto he has invested largely and profitably in business and private property. He is a T'reemason, and a member of
Macnab Lodge, Port Colborne. Mr. 'Thuresson, in politics, is a Liberal, and in religion, an I'^piscopalian.
Tor the security of T'inancial Toronto, as
well as for the maintenance of good order, the
city is possessed of two organizations, of which
it may well be proud, the Police T'orce and the
Tire Urigade. The Police T'orce is composed
of a very fine body of men, three hundred
strong, well drilled, well set-up, and serviceably
iniiformcd. Many of the men have served in
the I!riti-.h .\riny, or in the Royal Irish Con
slabulary, and in addition to being amenable to
discipline have military instincts and possess a
soldier's sense of diUy. 'Tlu'ir fme [jhysiipie and
soldierly bearing are the subject of comment
with visitors to the city, as well as among towns-
people who see them as a body at drill or,
occasionally, in some pageant on the street.
Tliev are excellently commanded by l.t.-(!ol.

Ward, lohnston and llreckenreid. besides the
ordinary force, there is a small .Mounted Police
Patrol, and an .Ambulance and Detective
Corps, the latter inider Inspeitor Win. Stark.
The government of the City Poli<e is vested in
three Commissioners, the .Mayor for the time

of the (bounty Court.
'Toronto's Fire Hrigaile vies in efticiency,
and may we not say, in no objectionable sense,
in the lust of manhood, with the city's other
protecting arm, the Police Torce. The organi-
zation is of cx<eptional importance to the vast
and far reaching interests of the Proviniial
Capital, and to it and its admirable system is the city indebted, daily and hourly, for its immunity from fire. Nothing
could well lie more efficient than the electric alarm system now in force in 'I'oronto and the thoroughly organized staff,
with its hook, ladder and hose equipment, at the several conveniently-situated lire stations. 'There are now in operation
we believe over ,500 signal boxes throughout the city, and the rapidity of movement which the system has introiha ed and
excites is most assuring to all interests at stake. 'The nund)er of street hydrants is well-nigh legion, and very ex<'e|itional
are now the circimistances that will permit a fire within the city ''mils to get a headway and do much damage. The present
Chief of the Brigade is .Mr. Richard .Vrdagh, with Mr. Thomas Craham as assistant. 'These act under the authority of the
I'ire and (las Committee of the City Council, of whom .Mderman Bell is now Chairman. The Tire Brig.ade System has
attained its present perfection as the result of a constant evolution whiih has been going steadily on for many years. To look
back today to the old methods in use at fires in the city is to seem to look back on the days of the .\rk and the deluge. We
have made a long stride from the era of the old hand engine and the barrel of water. 'The citizens would be ingrates it ihey
forgot to whom they owe credit in a large measure, for the modernizing and present e(|uipmenl of the system now in vogue.
'Two names, at least, claim to be mentioned as instrumental in bringing about the change, these are, the late Mr. janies .Ash-
field, who was long Chief of the Tire Brigade, and ex-.AIderman James B. Boiistead, for many years Chairman of the Tire and
(ias (Committee of the Council, and one of the most zealous, hard working and self-sacrificing of our City T'athers.

wiiti's Mr. .MoiUgdincry .Martin, in liis work on The liiilish C
I'ariii ailjdiiiing anollirr, tlii' average lieinj,'
one larni house in every three miles. The
eity had then no liriek liouses, no tinned roofs, no
l)lanked sidewalks ; the stumps of trees remained in
the streets ; the site of the present (St. I.awrenee)
market was an unhealthy Imn. 'I'liere were no hanks,
no markets, no sewers; only a few stores, and siareely
a s( hooner rrei|uenteil its wharves. Now (Mr. Martin
wrote in 1S45), Toronto I'ontains ,^0,000 intelligent
citizens ; rows of handsome hrick buildings, roofed
with tin ; numerous places of worship ; splendiil shops
or stores, with plate glass windows ; ga.s-lil and ma-
ladami/.ed streets. The city had by this time, we
learn, risen to the dignity of a town hall, and pos-
sessed law courts and a university. Its wharves were
now loailed with produce and crowded with steam-
boats and schooners. There was a hoard of Trade,
a Mechanics' Institute, public baths, and a fixed anil
floating property estimated at live millions sterling.
Arounil anil about the city in all directions, Mr. Martin
adds, were villas, farms, and line orchards and gar-
dens. Nearly fifty years have gone by since this description of I'oronto
strides the city has made and is making. .Marvellous as h.is been the
been the progress in the city's suburbs. ICven within the past ten years the

progress within the city proper, no le.ss marvellous has
change has seemed magical. True to the general law, the
chief progress has been westward.
. ' .; No sooner do I'arkdale and lirocklon
bloss<im out into a new and popu-
lous Toronto, and in time come
within the city's embrace, than still
another civic extension appears and
grows up to maturity like a gourd in
the night. If the pace is maintained,
we shall have ere long a continuous
city, vocal with the sounds o( indus-
try, from the waterfront to Weston.
A stroll through West Toronto Junc-
tion will astonish the 'Torontonian
who rarely niiils the beaten paths
of the <'ity proper. Mere he will
find manufactories and all manner
of industries that have sought at
the Junction room to expand freely,
with exemption from city taxation.
The suburb has a stir and life about
it which mark it as .-!! ofl'-shoot of
the city, and born of the same enter-
prise and energies that have made
Toronto what it is.

is the Protestant Orphans' Home, situate on
Dovercourl Road, surrounded by ample |)lay-
grounds, the Home itself being a model one,
and by its comfort and cheerfulness tending
to soften the asperities and brighten the out-
look of its orphaned imnates. I'ew of
Toronto's charitable institutions appeal more
urgently than does the Orphans' Home to
the sympathy and support of the public.
The charity was hmnded so far back as 1849, and loni; liad its home on Sullivan Street, from which it removed some years ago
to its present more suitable site. In the heyday of iier fame Madame Jenny l.ind sang on one occasion in Toronto for the
benefit of the institution. It has not wanted iieither then nor since, many good and true friends, among whom, perhaps the
best antl truest has been .Mrs. Matthew Vankoughnel, who h.is for many years with loyal anil unwearied devotion served its
interests. Itesides .Mrs. \ankoughnet, and we might mention Mrs. J. S. McMurray and Mrs. R. I.. Cowan, it has on its
directorate an active and enthusiastic band of friends among the ladies of Toronto, as well as a few staunch supporters and
workers of the other se.\. Since the founding of the Home, fully 1,600 children have been cared for under its sheltering roof,
and the number of its present inmates varies from 150 to 200. The efficient maintenance of this deserving charity appeals to
the benevolence of every citizen of Toronto. An illustration of the Home will be found on page 195 of this volume.
