INTRODUCTORY.

advent of the explorer, intent
upon the discovery of new lands to add to his
sovereign's possessions and establish his name
among the world's immortals, the great Indian
nations which inhabited North America, having
roamed in many regions where nature presented forms
and scenes both grand and beautiful, found a mighty
river, bearing the outflow of the great inland seas to
the unknown ocean. The stream was of itself an
inspiration, moving onward with a majesty that awoke
the finer nature of the savage and compelled his rev-
erence. But the swift canoes of these first discov-
erers, as they followed the current's steady course,
came upon scenes more entrancing than had ever
before met their vision. Group after group of green-clad islands, with such a wide vari-
ation in form and size as to give to each an ''".dividuality and beauty of its own, troubled
the flow of this great stream and adorned its surface like jewels in a kingly crown.
These almost countless fragments of land and rock and verdure, seemingly anchored
on the water's surface, the bays and outjutting points and ledges of the mainland, the
vein-like passage-ways between the islands, the river's pellucid waters lightly caressing
gentle slopes or plunging lazily against rocky projections, the flash and sheen as here
and there a muscallonge or bass bounded out of its native element in the joy of perfect
freedom, and the splash and ripple as it returned to the depths again, the rush and
plunge, the startled eyes and graceful antlers of the abundant deer, the soft, fragrant
and the kindly beaming sky, all blended into a magnificent picture, panoramic,
kaleidoscopic, and withal as abiding as the everlasting hills and as beautiful as the starry

THE TII0U!4AND ISLANDS.

firmament. It fulfilled the red man's ideal of the happy hunting ground in far greater
measure than any other scene that his wandering feet and birchen craft had ever
brought him to, and in his ectasy of delight and awe he exclaimed : " Manato-Ana" —
the Garden of the Great Spirit.

Such was man's first discovery of the River St. Lawrence and its Thousand
Islands. Since that remote day the white man has made pilgrimages to this shrine of
nature, and employed his loftiest language in descriptions of its splendors. The

uttermost parts of the earth have since been traversed, but in no other realm or clime
has there been found a spot so sublimely endowed with nature's gifts as to despoil the
Thousand Island region of the highest title known to the imaginative Indian tongue.

To-day every nation is represented by hundreds and thousands of its most cultured
and appreciative people, as year by year they gather here, paying the highest tribute of
admiration and praise, while finding amid these scenes measureless and unending
attraction for the poet, the artist, the care-free idler, the sportsman, the health and
pleasure-seeker, and all people of all conditions who long for rest and freedom from
the responsibilities and trials, the irksome tasks and environments of social or business
life.

DESCRIPTIVE.

HE THOUSAND ISLANDS is but a name for over sixteen hundred water-bound
sections of land varying from tiny spots upon the river's surface to large stretches
sufficient for the confines of a city. The majority of them, however, are com-
paratively small, ranging from one to twenty acres in extent, each having of itself a
varied attractiveness in the form of pretty coves, high bluffs and sloping banks, and yet
differing from its neighbors by some striking peculiarity, which in many instances has
served to suggest an expressive name. The islands extend almost from the river's
source at Cape Vincent in New York and Kingston in Canada, to Brockville in Canada
and Morristown in New York, a distance of about sixty miles, but are most thickly and
pictures(iuely grouped in the vicinity of Alexandria Ray, N. Y., which is about midway
between the points named.
Here, too, the beauties of
nature have been enhanced
and supplemented by an
unstinted outlay of wealth
and artistic skill in the
construction of palatial
summer homes, and the
cultivation and adornment
of their surroundings.

UNFETTERKl) NATURE.

Nearly every island where
art has not intruded on the
works of nature is thickly
wooded with birch and pine.
Luxuriant grasses clothe
the earth in every open spot,
and vines and mosses soften
the outlines of projecting
rocks. Wild flowers appear
in great variety and abund-
ance Forests of bull-
rushes grow in many shal-
low channels and bays, with their numberless long brown cat-tails awaiting the children's
harvest, and the coveted pond lilies, appearing almost like waxen images of flowers, on
their broad green pads, blossom in profusion within easy reach from shore or skiff.

SUMMER HOMKS.

The summer homes of the wealthy who sojourn in this delightful region every year,
dot the American channel on either side from a point several miles above Clayton to
about four miles below Alexandria Bay. They present attractive and, in some cases,
imposing exteriors, and many are finished and furnished as elaborately as city homes
and with as much care for the conveniences, comforts and luxuries to which the owners
are accustomed. Verandas and balconies afford shelter from sun or shower or evening
dew. Lawns as soft as velvet, the rich green of spring-time preserved throughout the
summer by showers from artificial fountains, please the eye, make soft couches for the

lounger and smooth grounds for
tennis or croquet, lieds of flowers
and rare plants, arranged in at-
tractive designs and tended by
master hands,
lend brilliancy
to the landscape.
Masses of rock,
and clusters of
trees form cool
and cozy nooks,
while supple

their (juotas to the opportunities for rest and comfort, and give a measure of variety to
the scene. Boat-houses which the earlier visitors to these islands would have deemed
fit for homes are filled with various styles of craft, from the light canoe and oarsman's
skiff to the swift steam yacht, resplendent with brass and nickel adornment, and capable
of bearing half a hundred passengers through every lake and channel of this wonderful
laDyrinth. Every good thing that affluence can provide at the behest of desire or fancy
is found here at the service of these inhabitants of America's most beautiful resort.

HOTELS.

For the accommodation of transient visitors and those who want to enjoy the vaca-
tion season entirely free from the cares of home life, hotels great and small have been
erected at various points on the mainlaiid and largest islands. The most pretentious of
these are at Alexandria Bay, and the grandest and most noted is The Crossmon.

THE THOUSAND ISLANDS.

LIFE ON THE WATER.

During the season the river is constantly alive with all manner of craft. The
St. Lawrence skiffs, now famed the world over for their graceful lines, handsome
finish, lightness and speed, are everywhere. Furnished with easy chair-backs, cushions
and rugs, and gently upborne by the water, there are no hindrances to perfect enjoy-
ment in them for hours at a time, for fishing, or sight-.^ejing or indolently floating, and
the labor of handling them is reduced to an insignificant minimum. The sailboat has
its place, too, in the enjoyments of this region, and the St. Lawrence skiff itself is also

The canoe

their devotees
who find here
every essential

or exercise.
Tiny steam
yachts, some

at a small cost, glide up and down and shoot in and out among the islands, wherever
it pleases the fancy or serves the purpose to go. The clumsy scow, laden with pro-
visions for the islanders from the Canadian or American shore, or transporting
material for the work of improvement and enlargement, spreads its sails and tacks
back and forth on its zigzag course in a slow but certain endeavor to reach its destina-
tion. Then there are the larger passenger steamers, those which follow routes between
the various villages and parks, the still larger and swifter ones devoted to the trans-
portation of passengers from the railway stations and for public excursions, and the
immense line-boats, veritable floating palaces, which ply between the lake ports and the
islands and run the fierce rapids below, to Montreal. Fast freight steamers plow the
waters on their way to and from (Jgdensburg, and the huge hulks of steam barges or
the puffing of small but powerful tug-boats, with a dozen heavily freighted barges
in tow, are common sights. Occasionally a ponderous raft containing hundreds of
thousands of logs and timbers, its rough huts for the workmen making it resemble a
floating primitive village, moves lazily along under pressure of great side-wheel
steamers, aided by the current.

white man who first gazed upon the marvelous scene presented by the Thousand
Islands. The early discoverers, as a rule, were less interested 'n scenery than in the
practical things which pertained to navigation, trade and travel, and the spreading of

Christianity. Champlain, in 16 15, beginning at the
western end of Lake Ontario, explored that lake and
the St. Lawrence to Sorel river, thus passing through
this region. How or when or by whom the world's
attention was first called to this archipelago is a matter
of doubt, but certainly at an early date it had impressed
itself upon the lover of the grand and beautiful in
nature, and at least a century and a half ago the French
christened it " Les Mille Isles" — The Thousand Isles.
The later and more completely descriptive English name
for it is "The Lake of a Thousand Islands."* The
St. Lawrence has marked the line of separation and the

THE T1I0U8AND ISLANDH.

Thousand Islands have been the scene of some of the important campaigns in four great
conflicts between nations. The first was the Indian war between the Algontjuins and
the Irocjuois, which continued many years, with occasional intermissions. The second
struggle was between the French and English, and many of its hostile meetings and
victories and defeats took place among the islands and on the neighboring shores. In
the American revolutionary war with England, and that between the same forces in
1812, the defense of this locality was of decided importance; therefore it witnessed
much activity, and some memorable engagements were tought within sight and sound
of this spot, now so happily devoted to the pursuits of pleasure, with no warring or
warlike nations to trouble the calm of perpetual peace.

Many of the most e.xciting incidents of that disastrous military adventure known
as the Patriot war, with its iitermittent outbreaks from 1837 to 1839, took place on this
part of the river, notably the capture of the Hritish steamer Sir Robert Peel, near Wells
Island, on the night of May 29, 1838, and the battle of the Windmill, near Prescott,
Ont., November 13, of the same year.

niLL JOHNSON,

Prominent in the attack on the steamer and its subsequent destruction by fire, was
the famous Bill Johnson, for whose capture a large reward was offered, and who was

successful in hiding
among these islands
many months, his
daughter carrying
food to him and
conveying him from
one place of safety
to another more
secure. An island
near Alexandria
Bay known as the
Devil's Oven, be-
cause of its peculiar
shape, is said to
have been one of
his hiding places.
Two steamers were
employed for many

weeks in the search for the outlaw among the islands, but he was only captured after
giving himself up to his son in order that the latter could claim the reward. His sub-
sequent escape as well as all the interesting facts of the Patriots' struggle, are matters
of general history.

CHARI.F.S CROSSMON S MEMORAIII.F, EXPERIENCE.

The laie (Charles Crossnion, then a young man, was in the ranks of the I'atriot
force which invaded Canada, participating in the battle of the Windmill and being cap-
tured and taken to Kingston. During the following winter he was confined with others
in the old fort at that place. Ten of his comrades were hanged and a much larger
number sentenced to penal servitude in Van Dieman's land. Mr, Crossmon's situation
was a precarious one for some time, but on account of his youth he was finally released
and lived to win fame in a less adventurous and much more profitable pursuit.

AS A I'OrUI.AR RKSORT.

The past two decades have witnessed the larger and more phenomenal growth of
the islands as a summer resort for the multitudes. In 1782 Gen. Cirant visited here as
the guest of George M.
Pullman, the palace car
magnate, on his island
near Alexandria Hay.
The visit continued
eight days, and attracted
the attention of thous-
ands to the St. Lawrence.
In the same year the ed-
itorial associations of the
north and the south had
a joint excursion and
dined on Pullman's
island, the meal being
served from The Cross-
mon. The glowing praises bestowed by these visitors were read throughout the land,
and since that time there has been a rapid and ever increasing development of this
locality as a desirable place for a season's outing or a vacation trip.

In 1887 President Cleveland and wife, with a party of friends, made a trip among
the islands and added their tributes to the beauty of this spot. In 1890 the New York
Press Association held its annual meeting at The Crossmon, and spent several days on
the river, the members vieing with each other in their printed descriptions and com-
ments on their delightful experiences, fishing exploits, excursions, etc.

To-day in magazine articles, newspaper sketches, and in the realm of poetry as
well, the Thousand Islands are frequently and prominently mentioned, and no route-
book is complete which does not have this resort among the first on its list. The his-
tory of home-building here would make a tale of evolution from the rough cabins which
in early days served the purpose of sojourners during the hunting and fishing seasons
to the elegant establishments occupied by families from all parts of the country during
the entire heated term. The best example of this development is the picturesque castle
built by Mr. Pullman on the former site of the house in which Gen. Grant was his guest.

GHOGRArillCAL.

The river St. Lawrence, together with the great lakes, comprise what has been
aptly termed the grandest system of inland navigation in the world. I'rom its remotest
beginning — the St. Louis river, which flows into Fond du Lac at the head of Lake
Superior — to its union with the sea at Cape Ciaspe, it is 2,100 miles. The river
St. Louis, the Mississippi and the Red River of the North rise on the same broad level
withm a comparatively small range in Minnesota and reach the ocean by widely
diverging courses — the first by the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the second by the Gulf of
Mexico and the third by Hudson's bay.

According to the latest records, the total area of the St. Lawrence basin is about
510,000 scjuare miles, of which the United States owns 187,440 and Canada 322,560.
The total length of the river, from Kingston to Cape Gaspe, is 728 miles, and that

I IIM'I.KK s LLlluW.

division of the stream in which the Thousand Islands are, extending from Kingston to
Prescott, where the rapids and canal section begins, is 68 miles in length.

The St. Lawrence and the great lakes form a natural boundary between the United
States and Canada, and the actual international line runs as nearly as practicable in a
middle course between the shores (excepting Lake Michigan, which is entirely in the
Ignited States territory) to a point near Cornwall, Ont., about fifty miles below Prescott,
where the river becomes exclusively Canadian.

The river's greatest width in the section of the Thousand Islands is at its source,
where it is about ten miles wide. In the vicinity of Alexandria Bay it is about three
miles in width. The exact number of the islands is 1,692.

ITS HISTORY, LOCATION AND ADVANTAGES.

Nowhere in a similar period has the advancement in hotel accommodations and
management been marked by such rapid strides as at the Thousand Islands. In the
matter of time The Crossmon was the first establishment devoted to the entertainment
of guests who visited this region in search of sport and recreation, and it has since

continued to be first in
every other respect. From
small beginnings it has
developed to its present
magnificent proportions, a
five-story structure with the
most modern and luxurious
appointments and capable
of accommodating a multi-
tude of guests.

The original Crossmon
house was a two-story build-
ing with ten guest-rooms.
In that day its guests en-
countered what would now
be called serious difficulties
in reaching the islands.
The general line of travel
thither was along he canal
by packet boat to Oswego
and thence down Lake
Ontario to the river, though
some preferred the over-
land route by stage from

[these adverse circumstances, this now world-famed region and almost equally noted
Ihotel witnessed the holiday e.xploits of some of the nation's greatest men and were
jcounted worthy of elaborate description by some of the most entertaining writers.

The late Charles Crossmon, father of the present proprietor of the immense estab-
lishment which bears that name, began his career as a hotel keeper at Alexandria Bay
\n 1848. His clear discernment of the future led him to select the most advantageous
site in this most charming portion of the island scenery, and the wisdom of his choice
las received the highest endorsement that an unprecedented and unrivalled success can

furnish. The plainest accommodations were provided for The Crossmon's early guests,
but they were such as won the approbation of Martin and John Van Ruren, Governor
Seward, Silas Wright, Frank Blair, and others famous in the affairs of state and in
professional and business activities, who sought and found in this solitude that freedom
from care and rest from labor, that communion with nature, the invigorating atmos-
phere, the opportunities for the exercise of the sportsman's prowess and all the

incentives to enjoyment which are important factors in reviving overtaxed physical and
mental powers. And all this their successors find to-day, for the advent of the fashion-
able crowd and the erection of modern hotels and elegant homes have not detracted in
any appreciable degree from the boundless attractions here offered to the seeker after
quiet and rest.

THE NEW CROSSMON.

As the tide of pleasure travel set in toward the St. Lawrence and its islands. The
Crossmon was from time to time enlarged, and finally the present magnificent hotel was
built on the site of its earliest predecessor. In the new structure everything that is
desirable in a first class summer hotel has been provided for, and in its management
every facility is furnished and the fullest attention given to the wishes and requirements
of its guests.

Its rooms are all pleasantly situated, affording charming views of the neighboring
scenery. There are suites for families, with private bath-rooms and all conveniences-

besides single and connecting rooms in every part of the house, all handsomely fur-
nished. The elevator is in operation constantly and the stairways are broad and easy.
There are spacious and elegantly furnished drawing-rooms, wide corridors and broad
verandas, and from the latter one of the most delightful pictures to be found in this
entire region may be had.

THE CROBSUON IN 1873.

The main dining-room is on the river side of the house. Its tables are furnished
with costly china, silver and cut glass, and the finest linen, and supplied with the rarest
fruits and delicacies. Its service is unexcelled, being by gentlemanly young men under
the efficient direction of an experienced metropolitan chef serviteur.

A pleasant dining-room is provided for children in charge of nurses.

The kitchens of The Crossmon are presided over by a first class chef de cuisine
with competent assistants, at whose disposal in the preparation of delectable and appe-
tizing viands there is an abundance of everything that the best markets offer.

The importance of providing special comforts and amusements for the children is
recognized in many ways in and about this establishment. There are accommodations
for nurses in their care of the little ones, and opportunities for wholesome sports are at
hand. Perhaps the most popular attraction in this department is the " Burro Brigade,"
a troop of patient Rocky Mountain donkeys, brought from New Mexico for the use of
The Crossmon's IjttJ? folks. These gentle animals are trained for riding and driving

and give many an hour's delightful amusement. A goat trained for driving is kept for
the use of the smaller children, while on the lawn, in the shade of the trees, are boxes
filled with sand for their amusement.

An artesian well, sunk to a depth of sixty-five feet
in the solid granite on the point near the hotel,
furnishes an inexhaustible supply of purest drinking
water, clear, cool and refreshing.

A superior orchestm gives morning concerts in
the drawing-room, plays during the hours for dining
antl for the dancing in the evenmg.

The in-door social amusements include dancing,
games, entertainments, promenading on the extensive
verandas and through the long halls, etc. Out-of-
doors, tennis and crocjuet interest the young folks on
grounds devoted to their use. The Crossmon's sur-
roundings are attractive. Every crevice of the
immense rock upon which its river side rests is
adorned with a bed of flowers or a small shrub. On
the street side are graveled walks and drives and a
circular plat for out-door games, with easy benches

protected by a canopy. Stretching eastward from the hotel \>, Crossmon's Point, with

its broad level lawn, bordered by the docks and landings for steamboats and skiffs.
At night the Crossmon, in-doors and

out, presents a scene of brilliancy. Rows

of colored lights illumine the verandas,

and shine from its many towers, shed-
ding a wealth of color upon the water.

The drawing-rooms are filled with guests

engaged in social pastimes, and all about

the place there is light and life and

gaiety. The arrival of the steamers at

evening is celebrated by a display of

fireworks in front of the hotel and on the

neighboring islands, making a picture

indescribably beautiful.

Lunches for fishing and picnic parties
are provided for the guests of the hotel,
without extra charge, with all the neces-
saries for an enjoyable open-air feast on
one of the many unoccupied islands and points.

THK THOUSAND ISLANDS.

The most experienced oarsmen on the river make their headciuarters at The
Grossmen's docks and may be engaged by applying at the office, lioats and fishing
tackle are easily obtainable.

Mr. Charles \V. Crossmon succeeds the firm of Crossmon i\: Son, whose manage-
ment has made this hotel noted throughout the world and the favorite headquarters in
later days of such men as President Arthur, Gen. Sheridan, Cardinal McGloskey,
Herbert Spencer, Charles Dudley Warner, B. F. Reinhart, Will Carleton, and other
notables, whose spoken and written praises have added greatly to the popularity of the

tical study of the latest methods and improvements in leading hotels throughout the
country. Under his undivided control, The Crossmon will continue to maintain its
high standard of excellence, adding to its advantages wherever possible.

As the hotel is crowded much of the time during the season, it is advisable for
parties desiring accommodations to engage them in advance. For this purpose and for
all desired information on the subject, address the proprietor,

CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES.

fN the descriptive article of this book an outline is given of some of the amusements
common to this resort. A general idea is all that can be imparted in reference to
them. The observant visitor cannot fail to find a variety of attractions to occupy
his time and make the days pass like brief moments. Indeed in this paradise of nature
there seems to be little need of amusement, as it is a constant and ever increasing
delight to sit or recline on piazzas or grassy banks, or in idly drifting boats, dreaming
away the hours under the soothing
spell of the soft summer air and
beautiful surroundings. But those
who seek more active pleasures will
find them on every hand and in
every form.

FISH AND FISHING,

Perhaps there is no more popular
amusement, nor one that gives so
much satisfaction, as a day's fishing
trip, with a competent oarsman, a
comfortable boat, a generous lunch,
and all the requisites for successful
angling. The Thousand Island
oarsman has reduced his occupation
to a science, and can give his patrons
exceptional opportunities for the
rarest sport, with surroundings in
every way agreeable. He provides
boat, fishing tackle and everything
except lunch and bait. The latter
he obtains in accordance with his
employers' wishes and the former is
furnished by the hotel, including
linen, dishes, ice, etc. The wise
fisherman makes an early start, and is rowed to some one of the many localities where
game fish abound. Trolling and still-fishing and all the forms of the sport are indulged
in, and the noon-time rarely comes until the fish box has received at least enough for
a good dinner. A landing is made on an unoccupied island, and the oarsman is trans-
formed into a cook, whose equal, in the preparation of fish at least, cannot be found
even in the service of a Delmonico. Packed away beneath the seats and in the bow

and stern of the boat he finds a table, camp chairs and cooking utensils, besides all the
re(|uirements for a dinner. He builds a fire, cleans and cooks the fish and potatoes
and makes a pot of most fragrant and delicious coffee. The table is set and there in

the open air, with nature's fairest
blessings all around, is a feast so
appetizing and so complete that
none who have ever enjoyed it
can find words to express their
fullest appreciation, or live so
long as to have the pleasant
memory dimmed.
After the meal there is time for
a short nap or a ramble over the
island, while the boatman con-
cludes his services as waiter
and kitchen maid. The remain-
der 01 the afternoon is devoted
to angling for rare game, and if,
perchance, a muscallonge takes
the bait and is successfully land-
ed the white flag waves proudly
from the bow as the skiff speeds
homeward at the setting of the
sun.
So attractive has this pursuit of
sport been made at the Thousand Islands, that ladies enjoy it quite as much as thosa
of the sterner sex, and a visit to the river is not complete without such an experience.

Fine specimens of the muscallonge, king of fresh
water fish, black bass, Oswego bass, wall-eyed pike and
pickerel of unusual size are captured in these waters,
in astonishingly large numbers, every season.

DUCK HUNTING.

In the fall many clever marksmen gather here for
the duck hunting season, and are usually successful in
obtaining some fine specimens.

STEAMBOAT LINES.

The transportation facilities between Alexandria
Bay and all points on the river and Lake Ontario are
all that can be desired. The swift and handsome steamers of the Thousand Island
Steamboat Company connect with every train at Clayton and Cape Vincent, and with
steamers for all points, while other boats of this fleet make excursions among the

THE IIIFT.

THE THOUSAND ISLANDS.

islands, and to the several interesting river towns on either shore. The Alexandria
Bay Steamboat Company has a route between the Bay and Ogdensburg, and its new
Island Wanderer makes a fifty mile trip among the islands, which is one of the most
delightful features of this resort. The Richelieu and Ontario Ime of .steamers carry
thousands of passengers down the river and through the rapids. The Rochester and
Thousand Island Navigation Company and others have speedy and well ecjuipped
steamers running between the lake and river ports during the entire season.

RAILROAD FACIMTIES.

The N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. (Company, operating the Rome, Watertown & Ogdens-
burg railroad, the shortest and best route to the Thousand Islands, provides luxurious
vestibuled day and night trains, run on fast schedules and making but few stops be-
tween connecting points on the Central and the River. By the co-operation of the rail-
road and steamboat lines a
system of transportation is
secured which is unexcelled
in safety, convenience,
promptness and comfort.

THE PARKS.

Thousand Island, West-
minster, Central, Round
Island, Edgewood and
Grand View Parks are
among the noted places on
the river, because of their
exceptionally fine locations
and the attractions they
offer to those desiring quiet
summer homes. They have
grown to the proportions of
towns, with handsome cot-
tages and broad, well shad-
ed avenues. The largest
and oldest of these parks, the Thousand Island, is controlled by Methodists, and,
though subject to the restrictions of a religious organization, is the summer home of
thousands from all parts of the country.

THE LAKE OF THE ISLES.

Perhaps the most beautiful spot in all this collection of nature's gems is the Lake
of the Isles, so secluded as to be free from the swarm of river travel and the intrusion
of the cottager, and yet within a half-hour's row from Alexandria Bay. It is about four
miles long, and is prettily set into the lower end of Wells Island, Its inlet is through
the rift, along which a skiff is swiftly carried by the current, needing only the oarsman's

THE THOUSAND ISLANDS.

guidance to make the passage safely. Its outlet, which is generally used in going in or
oat of the lake, is a narrow channel guarded by high rocks, and giving a very striking
and truthful suggestion of the scenery to which it leads.

ILLUMINATIONS AND SALUTES.

The traveler who arrives at the Thousand Islands in the evening and makes the
passage down the river from Clayton to Alexandria Hay, or the excursionist who
patronizes a "searchlight" trip among the islands, beholds a scene of splendor rivaling

the most brilliant crea-
tions of the Venetians.
All along the American
channel, between the
points mentioned, the
passing of the steamer at
evening is the signal for a
grand, continuous dis-
play of fireworks, rockets,
Roman candles, and vari-
colored lights arranged
in elaborate designs.
Every hotel and private
residence has its towers,
windows and verandas
illuminated, many evi-
dencing lavish expendi-
ture and admirable artis-
tic skill. The heavens
are lighted up by the
momentary flight of arti-
ficial stars through space,
and the waters are ablaze
with the reflection of the
brilliancy on shore. It is
a sight that cannot be
fully depicted, but once
seen it will never be
forgotten.

No passenger steamer passes up or down the river at any time during the summer
visitors' stay at the islands without receiving a hearty greeting from the sojourners
along the shore. Cannons, firearms, horns and flags are employed to emphasize the
welcome and the good wishes, while happy parties are grouped on shore or dock, waving

hands and handkerchiefs and awaiting the steamer's answer to their salute, which is
invariably given by three blows from the whistle, accompanied by the pleased acknowl-
edgements of the passengers.

THK wanderer's TRIP.

The New Island Wanderer makes a fifty-mile trip among the islands twice a day
during the season. Its route is through the most attractive of the island scenery
including its wildest features, as well as
many of the points where art has been
employed to add to nature's charms.

ARCnrrECTURAL FEATURES.

Within the past few years there has
been a remarkable evolution in the
style of the structure erected by the
wealthy for summer homes at the
islands. From tents and rude shelters
made from rough boards and bark, it
passed to the comfortable cottage, and
then on to the form and size of per-
manent and luxurious city establish,
ments. Some of the most noted archi-
tects in the country have been em-
jployed in the planning of buildings
erected here in recent years, and the
most skillful artisans have executed
their plans, while money has not been spared in supplying the best material with which
to construct and decorate. The furnishings are as elegant, and in some respects as
costly, as in the winter homes of the families for whom they are provided. In many

cases the residences have outbuildings, in which laundrying and
other work is done and power furnished for illuminating the
house and grounds by electricity and supplying a miniature
system of water works extending to all parts of the owner's
domain.

The beauty of design of many of the private steam yachts and
the richness of their finishing and furnishings are in keeping with
the general character of the establishments with which they
tr^' are connected.

SEARCH-LIGHT EXCURSIONS.

A novel experience which may be enjoyed here is a search-light excursion among
the islands. The steamers St. Lawrence and New Island Wanderer make these trips

every evening when the season is at its height. They have powerful electric search-
lights so arranged above their pilot houses that the operators can turn them in any
direction in an instant, Hashing a flood of radiance over objects as far away as the eye
can reach. Ludicrous incidents sometimes occur in the course of these excursions,
such as the sudden llashing of the light's piercing rays on some lover's nook where two
souls indulging in but (jne th(night are ruthlessly awakened Irom sweet seclusion to the
most glarhig publicity. Some exceedingly beautifid effects are produ( ed by the rays
of the search-light as they are cast upon the trees and rocks of the shores, or upon

small yachts and skiffs gliding along the river. The sides of the pretty craft glisten
like stars set in the dark water, and their occupants seem more fairy-like than human.
As the light sweeps across land and water, from point to point it reveals many scenes
worthy of the gifted artist's brush and imparts to them a peculiar appearance as of a
glorious painting framed in boundless gloom. But, perhaps, the most charming sight
is that which is observed on rare occasions when a large white-vanned bird is caught
within the circle of the light and persistently followed until its strong wings carry it
beyond the range of its pursuer. The contrast presented by the deep blue waters, the
surrounding darkness and the bird in its flight, with its form silvered by the intense
radiance, makes a picture that is fanciful and fascinating in the extreme.

VIEWS OF DttWBY's ISLAND.

THE RAPIDS.

ULTITUDES who pass through the Thousand Island region inchulc in their
journey the exciting experience of running the rapids of the St. Lawrence.
From the islands the entire trip is made by dayUght on the steamers of the Riclielieu
and Ontario Company's line, and tiiere is a constant succession of pleasing views and
thri'.ling passages until the staunch craft is finally tossed from the foaming waters of
the Lachine rapids into the harbor of Montreal.

The Indians first learned to run these rapids, under the stimulus of a liberal
reward offered by white mariners, and for many years they were generally employed
as pilots, though recently while men have taken their places to a large extent.
m:,". ', . ": ."'-., ':'«"■. .„:H^.„.. :,.... ,411 The (ialloups and the Rapids du Plat are the

first and least exciting, though they afforil
sufficient change from the smooth surface and
steady current of the upper portion of the river
to give a suggestion of the fierceness and
grandeur to come. Nature seems to have
graduated the development of this wontler as
the playwright or novelist carries his story
along with ever increasing interest to a thrill-
ing climax. T!.e Long Sault rapids are the
third in the series, being nine miles in length
and having two navigable channels divided by
islands. The scenery commands admirat jn
from every point, i'he boat passes from the
turmoil of these rapids into the placid waters
of Lake St. Francis, which has a length of
forty miles and an average width of five miles.
This part of the trip seems strangely ([uiet by
contrast with that which preceded it, and re-
stores the pulse-beats to their normal measure
before the next wild plunge which inckules the
Coteau, Cedars and Cascade rapids, a descent
of eleven miles. Again comes the contrast of foam and fury with tranquility, as Lake
St. Louis succeeds the Cascades. This lake is twelve miles long and half as many in
width, and here the well informed tourist indulges in excited anticipation of the
grand Ji/ia/g in the descent of the Lachine, the last and most dangerous of the rapids.
Neither language nor painter's brush, nor both, can adequately portray the beauty
and magnificence of this scene. The tempestuous sea, the world's greatest cataract,

and the immovable mountains seem to have lent to it a measure of their grandeur in
form and sound, and to be engaged with each other in a mighty and never ending
struggle for overmastering power. Waves dash high in air as they meet steadfast
opposition from rock-bound shores or treacherous reefs, or are hurled back to meet
the irresistible force of the on-rushing flood. The swirl of the eddies and the plunge
down the aljrujit declines over the jagged rocks, lash the waters into whitest foam.

HI'NNINO THE RAPIDS.

The sensation experienced on board the steamer is the most thrilling that can be
imagined. The immense vessel suddenly shoots forward at such a rate of speed that
steam power is useless. Then there is a sudden sinking. Those experienced in sea
and lake voyages naturally expect that the boat will rise again, but it does not.
Again it rushes forward and again the sinking is felt, as if the vessel had ceased the
terrific struggle and were seeking rest on the rocky bottom. And so it goes on and
on, through a channel narrow and tortuous, seemingly courting destruction and yet
surely escaping it by the skill of experienced pilots, until the river broadens and
calms itself as it sweeps under the Victoria bridge to the wharVes of Montreal.

NOTED ISLANDS AND POINTS.

ON succeeding pages of this booic is a list of the inhabited islands and points, all of
which will be found to have some measure of attraction to the sight-seer. lUit
some of them, by reason of their exceptional location, or the beauty and costliness
of the dwellings built upon them, or from the fame of their owners, receive special
attention from the visitor on a tour of the river

THE LARGEST ISLAND.

Wolfe Island is the largest of the entire group, and is wholly in Canadian terri-
ory. It stands like a sentinel, near the border line, at the foot of Lake Ontario. It
s twenty-one miles long and fibout seven miles in width. Its principal settlement is

THE THOUSAND ISLANDS.

Marysville, a village of several hundred inliabitants. Its soil is very fertile, as is
evidenced by its many dairy farms, its verdant meadows and flourishing grain fields
and gardens. A canal has been dug through the island to shorten the route between
Cape Vincent and Kingston,

WELI.S ISLAND.

Wells Island is one of the most interesting. Its length is about eight miles and
its width ranges from a few yards to four miles. The Thousand Island I'ark is at its
head and Westminster Park is at its foot, opposite Alexandria I5ay. It is densely
wooded in some parts and others have long been used for profitable farming.

BONNIE CASTLE.

Directly a'^ross the bay from The Crossmon, on one of the most sightly points
on the river, is the stately home of the family of the late Dr. J. G. Holland, built
during the lifetime of the famous literateur, according to his own ideas of elegance
and comfort, and named from one of his most popular stories, " Bonnie Castle."
Dr. Holland was an earnest admirer of the St. Lawrence and its islands, and during
the last few years of his life he spent the larger part of every summer here.

Pullman's "castle rest."
Among the first of the wealthy and famous men who came to the islands to
establish their summer homes was George M. Pullman, the well-known palace car
magnate. He purchased one of the handsomest islands, just above Alexandria Bay,

TJIK THOUSAND ISLANDS.

and built an unpretentious frame dwelling, which was made famous by the visit of
Gen. Cirant, as the guest of its owner in 1872. A magnificent castle, built of rough
stone, after the (lernian fortress style, and rising to the height of five stories, has
taken the place of the first strut ire, but the historic room occupied by the great

hero is preserved
as a relic within
its walls. After
the new struc-
ture was com-
pleted, in 1888,
Mr. I'ullman pre-
sented it to his
aged mother and
it was named
"Castle Rest."
It has been the
scene of many
happy family re-
unions,and is oc-
cupied through-
out every season.

CARLETON

ISLAND.

Historic Carle-
ton Island is a
most interesting
place, aside from
its ruins and traditions, because of its
situation near the source of the St.
Lawrence. A considerable number of
sojourners have visit'^d it in the past,
and its future is very bright.

IMPERIAL.

Directly across the channel from

The Crossmon, a few years ago, a

large rock protruded above the river's

cATCHiNo MuscALLONOE. surface, and a clump of scraggy

bushes found a meagre growth in some soil that had lodged there. Its location,

however, was so desirable that it found a purchaser, who made a very pretty island

by filling in with rocks and dirt, and erecting walls to keep it intact. Its handsom-
cottage and grounds, adorned by shade trees and lawn, furnish an illustration of how
even a barren rock may be beautified in this region. Its name is Isle Imperial, and
its owner is (lilberi S. Rafferty, of Pittsburg, Pa.

INOLRSIUE COTTAOK.

" Ingleside Cottage," one of the most beautifully located island residences oc
the magnificent river, is owned by Mrs. G. R. Marsh, of Chicago. It occupies tlie
eastern and southern portion of Cherry Island, comprising about four acres of rocky
heights and mossy dells, and from its lovely piazza and high points of observatior
commands an unrivaled view of the vast expanse miles down the river. Being siti;
ated on the island nearest Alexandria Bay and the New York shore, it is renders
more charming by its near proximity to this village of justly renowned summer hotel
and most hospitable attentions. The residence occupies the site of the first cottag
erected on any of the river islands in that vicinity for river tourists and was occupies)
the first season by Mrs. E. C. Pullman, the revered mother of George M. Pullman

TIIK THOUSAND ISLANPS.

and her family more than a (juartcr of a century ago. Indeed, the tiny cottage now
forms the rear part of the present Ingleside, Mr. and Mrs. Marsh having refused
a large price for it to be removed from its original site. Since its erection Mr. and
Mrs. Marsh, with their son and family, have ever found pleasure in giving to many
friends the earnest welcome to their sweet, sweet home, and contributing to the
various interests of river enjoyment.

A TRIPLET GK(}UP.

Sport, Little Lehigh and Idlewild islands form a pretty group a short distance
down the river from the Bay. Sport is owned by E. P. Wilbur, Little i,ehigh by

W. A. and R. H. Wilbur, of Bethlehem, Pa., and Idlewild by Mrs. R. H. Kggleston,
of New York. Large parties gather here yearly, as guests of the owners. 'J"he
illuminations on Sport and Little Lehigh islands are especially elaborate.

WEST POINT.

Just across a narrow side channel from Pullman's island is West Point, owned by
Mr. W. C. Browning, of New York. Upon a high bluff, which is a miniature like-
ness of the noted place for which the spot is named, Mr. Browning has a summer
home unsurpassed by any on the river.

FRIENDLY.

E. W. Dewey, of New York, is the owner of Friendly Island, which attracts
attention, both because of its natural beauty and the grand residence which adorns
it. Some views of it appear on another page.

TIIK THOUSAND ISLANDS.

NOBBY.
Another place where wealth has been lavished and artistic skill has been
employed is Nobby Island, owned by H. K. Heath, of Brooklyn. Mr. Heath is also
owner of the Devil's Oven.

ST. KI.MO.

In the same vicinity with Friendly and Nobby islands is St Klmo, the property
of Nathaniel W. Hunt, of Brooklyn. Its grounds and cottage attract the tourist's
attention.

ST. JOHN.

Judge Charles Donohue, of New York, owns what was formerly Plantagenet
Island, and which he has renamed St. John. It commands a fine view of the river
and Alexandria Bay.

FAIRYLAND.

Charles H. and William B. Hayden, of Columbus, O., with their families, are
among the first arrivals at the river every year. Their large island, in the improve-
ment of which they have been unmindful of expense, is worthy of the name they
have given it — "Fairyland."

These are but a few of the more costly and commodious summer residences at
the river, and there are very many desirable islands and points still unoccupied.

GEMS I'ROM TRAVELERS' WRITINGS.

(*)Y0U("H has been written in description of the Thousand Islands by travelers who
J ♦ have had such a wide range of observation that their testimony is of the highest
value. Brief quotations from these writings are presented herewith, arranged accord-
ing to their chronological order:

Ihaac Wkli). Jr.— 1709.

SomctimeH in pii8,sinir tlirougli ii niirrow straight, you And yourself in a biiNin, land locked on every
side, that happens to have no eonununieation witli tiio lake, e.xeept by the passage through which
you have entered. You are looking about, perhap.s, for an outlet, tliinklng at last to 8<'e some little
channel widch will just admit your bateau— when suddenly an expanded slieet of water opens upon
you, whose boundary is the horizon alone. Again in a few minutes you tlnd yourself land locked,
and again a spacious passage as suddenly presents itself; at other times, when in the ndddle of one of
tliese basins. iK'lween a cluster of islands, a dozen dillerent channels, like so ininy noble rivers, meet
tlie eye, perhajjs eciually unexpectedly, and on each side the islands appear gularly retiritig until
they sink from the sight iu the distance.

Wm. Darby, Boundabv Surveyor- 1818.
The world can present but few, if any, regions of equal extent where all that can allure the eye
and gratify the mind can be found more condensed into one view.

J. IlowisoN— 1820.
The .scene reminded mo of the beautiful descriptions of the Happy Tslands in the Visions of
Mlrzah, and I thought that if the Thousand Islands lay in tlic Bast, some cliaste imaglnaiion would
propose that tliey should be made an a.sylum for sulTering humanity, and distributed according to the
respective virtues and merits of those who deserved tliem.

Henhv Tuoor— 1831.

Nothing, however, can exceed, if equal, the Thou.sand Islands of the St. Lawrence. Here Nature
has wrapped herself in all the witchery of her silent charms, and liere her lonely and sootlnng beauty
speaks a language to the heart, unfelt by the proudest works of man.

Charles Dickens— 1842.

The beauty of this noble stream at almost any point, but especially in the commencement of this
journey, wliere it winds its way among the Thousand Islands, can hardly be imagined. The number
and constant succession of these islands, all green and richly wooded ; their fluctuating sizes, some so
large that for half an hour together one among them will appear as the opposite bank of the river,
and some so small that they are mere dimples on its bosom — their infinite variety of shapes— and th(!
numl)erless combinations of beautiful forms which the trees growing on them present — all form a
picture fraught with an uncommon interest and pleasure.

Xavier Marmier— 1850.

There is probably no river on earth that has heard so many vows of love as the St. Lawrence;
for there is not a Canadian boatman that has ever passed up or down the river without repeating, as
the blade of his oar dipped into the stream, and as it arose, the national refrain :

"II y a longtemps que je t'aime,
Jamais je ne t'oublierail "

" Long time have I loved thee,
Ne'er will I forget thee."

John Sheridan Hogan — 1855.

It is impossible, even for those whose habits and occupations naturally wean them from the
pleasures derivable from such scenery, to avoid feelings akin to poetry while winding through the
Thousand Islands. You feel, indeed, long after they have l)een passed, as if you had been awakened
out of a blissful dream. Your memory brings up again and again the pictures of tlie clusters of the
little islands rising out of the clear cold water. You think of the little bays and winding passages,
embowered in trees; and recurring to the din and dust and heat and strife of the city you have left or
the city you are going to, you wish in your heart you had seen more of nature, and less of business.

ascentling smoke, no signs of human life, no bleating animals, no (ilouglnnan's note, no stroke of the
woodman's a.KC. no lalMir of the spade or hoe, wer«( anywhere visible; silence and rci)oHfl reigned in
theHe islands, which in ancient times would have been peopled, in the imagination of poets, with
nymphs and goddesses, without Interrupting sound, except the whispers of the wind. Nature lay
undisturbed In her own soft lied; cradled in the waters; rocked in the elements, and soothed by the
rippdng .stream as It pa.s.sed along. This simple, primitive slate of things has always be«'n. from the
time when (lod spoke Creation into existence; or <'ertalaly from the period when, some convulsion

present position, to show His love of l)eauty, an<l teach mankind lessons of grateful admiration,

OiovANNA Caitkm-ini- -1808.

The St. liawrence, which had appeared narrowed for some distance above Ogdonsburg, hero
began to expand, and spread Itself out Into a multitude of channels, worn through the oldest of
granites. Some of the islets scarcely arose above the surface, while others were some thirty metres
in height, ami were clothed with pines, tirs. blrche.s, maples and beeches of moderate sl/e, but
presenting a .scene most diversiHed in form, and constantly changing as we passed alcmg. To me, as
1 was most anxiously looKlng for .something tliat would remind mo of Italy, a part of tida labyrinth
presented a scene not uidlkc! that of the lagoons of V(!netla.

As darkness came on, the occasional gleams of (julet lamplight from the windows of the farm
houses along the shore, or sciattered here and there upon the islands, or the vivid splendor of u
light house, would cast their long reflected beams upon the waters, which when lightly rippled by
the approach of the steamer, appeared like serpents of tire, swimming towards the shore. As our
colossal steamer, the Ontario, pres.sed rapidly forward through the winding channel of the Islands,
we p issed a little island where a party of tlshermen had built a tire and were busy preparing a supper
from the proceeds of the labors of tlie day. A vessel, with its long-spreading, 8(|uarc sail, lay idly
tloatlnj; near the sliore. .secured to the trunk of an aged tlr, while the dark shadows of the forest cast
a gloom over the spot, reflecting the flames that appeared to conceal rather than illundnate the scene,
and presenting a picture that no painter could produce.

Amid these scenes of light in the darkness, tli3 moon alone was wanting to shed its crowning
glory over the Thousand Islands.

J. II. Stkhmins— 1878.

To me, the pleasures of this magnificent river are its very 8(»lltudes, Given a silent, attentive
oarsman, a light iipple upon the water, a gentle breeze upon the cheek, turn behind an island away
from the sight j.nd sound of the thoroughfare, with the blue sky, above, the clear water below, and
the finest scenery in the world upon every side. Surely now, if ever, one may yield himself to nature
and meet his own soul face to face. Silence is a blissful companionship her^, and there can be no
tediousness of solitude to him who ban within himself resources of thought and dream— the pleasure,s
of memory, of unagination, of dreamj'^ forgetfulness, of delightful rest. Never in even the poet's
grandest .song was the grandeur and beauty of these scenes fully expressed.

Gkoroe Lansing Taylok, I). I).— 1878.

It is one of the most densely crowded archipelagoes in the world. The islands range from the
size of a township down to that of a haystack, Hut a very large number of them are habitable, and
many have been long Inhabited. Yet so many liave remained wild that the prevailing character of
the whole has been that of a wilderness. It Is precisely that fact that has given the islands their
value and charm in modern days. It is this that has made them the chosen and delightful retreat
they are, and has brought wealth and taste hither to find a summer refuge sweeter than can be found
at any of the old and crowded resorts of extravagance and fashion. It is this that has caused a
modern Venice, gay as a dream of a fairy land, to spring up here on every hand among these greeu
solitudes.

It is worth cnmsing the Atlantl<' to Hve the rapids of the St. I^awrence. Hiieh volumes of water
rushing and foaming in billowHof glorious green and white, can he seen nowhere in tlie old world.
They speak to the eye of the distances from which they come; of the Hocky Mountains, wliich are
their farolT watershed in the west; of the vast intervening <()ntinent which they have drained; of the
great inland seas in wliicli they have been stored and gathered. 1'liese ra|iids are the tinal leaps and
bounds l>y which tlie^ gain at last the level of the oeeun, and the liiHtory of their triumphant course
seems, um it were, wrillen on their face.

"Pen and Sunlight Bkktciikh" — 1891.

Not so wide as the Amazon, nor ho long as the Misissippi; not so famous for historic traditions
as the Hudson, nor for ruined (lastles as the lUiine, yet the St. Lawrence is more attractive to the
tourist than either, and sulfers by comparison w ith neither or all of them. As the channel through
which all of the waters of the great lakes find tlu^ir way to the ocean, it could not be otherwise than
miijestic, and being nuvigaiile its entire lengtli, it presents unusual attractions and delightful con-
trasts to tlie voyager who takes a daylight trip among its charming scenery.

As the lake begins to contract to a river, it would seem as though the land disputed its onward
progress, and in the struggle for supremacy the restless current has broken the firm earth into a
thousand fragments, some larger, some smaller, which vainly endeavor to entangle the waters in their
downward course to the sea.

KiNdBTON (Ont.) WlIKl— 1891.

There are two famous groups of islands on this route, known as "Tlic Fairy Isles" and "Summer
Land." which slioiild be very proud of their ideal beauty and stalely shapes, as no doubt tliey are.
So rich are they in leafy verdure and freshnes-s of limb and branch that the words "Beauty — l)eauty
still," are ever rising to the beholder's lips as thev did to those of Warburton. many years ago, when
he passed through "the mazes of the Thousand Islands," and admired "tlieir beautiful rellections in
the mirror of tlic calm, blue water," exclaiming, "Beauty — beauty still ! " All the islands hereabouts
are of this character, and there are many, spreading their fairy loveliness to the sun and winds that
give them life and motion, dreamy grace and poetic l)eauty, with the liberal hand of nature arranging
and rearranging their lovely forms at will continually.

THE RIVER OF DREAMS.

[ From Obbaldine : A Souvenir of the St. Lawrence.]

'Tis the river of dreams.
You may float in your boat on the i)looni-t»ordered streams.
Where its islands like emeralds matchless are set,
And forget that you live, and as quickly forget
That they die in that world you have left; for the calm
Of content is within you, the blessing of balm
Is upon you forever. Mortality sleeps
While you dream, an Immortal : some mistiness creeps
Like a veil of forgetfulness over your past.
And it is not. Your day is eternal, to last
Without darkness, or change, or the shadow of dread.
Blessed isles, where today and tomorrow are wed
In such fullness of bliss. Blessed river that smiles
In such beauty and peace by the beautiful isles.

R. W. & O. R. R. via Utica to Clayton, where steamers for Alexandria Bay connect with all trains.

Or, you can leave the Central at Utica, and take the cars on R. W. & (). R. R., which will take
you, without change of cars, to Clayton, in four and a half hours, twelve miles frojn Alexandria
Ray, where a steamer will be found which will complete the journey in one hour.

Leave the New York Central at Rome, and enter the palace cars of the Rome, Watertown ik
Ogdensburg railroad. A few hours' ride on these will bring you to Cape Vincent, thirty miles from
Alexandria Bay, where steamers run to and fro twice a day, conneoting closely with the trains.

Take the West Shore route via Utica in connection with the R. W. A: (). R. R., or via Syracuse
in connection with the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg R. R.

Or, if you please, take the other branch at Watertown, and ride through a picturesque country
to Ogdensburg (six hours from Rome), and there take steamer up the river to the Bay— thirty-six
miles.

Or, leave the Central at Syracuse (which shortens the distance for parties from the west), and
take the Syracuse Northern to Richland, from which place the route is agam on the R. W. & O. R. R.

Or, startinir from Oswego (to which city is a railroad from Syracuse, and lines of steamers from
all the principal points of the great lakes, some of which go to the Bay), a branch of the R. W. & O.
connects with the main road to Richland.

Or, if from the east, you take the Delaware »fc Hudson at Troy or Albany, going through
Saratoga and along the west shore of Lake Champlain to Rouse's Point, there taking the Ogdens-
burg & Lake Champlain R. R. to Ogdensburg, having a delightful sail from Ogdensburg by steamer
to Alexandria Bay

Or. leaving Albany or Troy via D. & H. C. Co,, taking steamers through Lakes George and
Champlain (the most delightful of all) to Plattsburg, U. & II. to Rouse's Point, O, & L. C. and
steamer to Alexandria Bay, making one of the best trips in this country.

Or, from Chicago and the west, take the Limited Express via Chicago & Grand Trunk R. R. at
3:35 V. M. daily, with Pullman sleepers, arriving at Gananoque Junction at 3 i'. m. next day, con-
necting with 1000 Island Railway and steamer for Alexandria Bay, arriving in time for supper.

Visitors from the east, whose route is by the Northern railroad, which connects with the Ver-
mont Central, will take a steamer at Ogdensburg for the rest of the journey, which leaves upon the
arrival of the train, reaching the Bay in time for supper.

The Royiil Mail line of steamers run from Niagara Falls to Montreal, passing down the St. Law-
rence by daylight, and stopping at the Bay.

ComiMiny (Royal Mall I^lne Bteamers) for Montreal, (Quebec, the River Ha^'uenay and lower St. Lawrence, paHsliiK M
the ThouMand iHlandH and KapIdH of the River St. I^awrence by daylight. We wish to emphoMlxe the fact that the
Hteand)oatH running in .'onnectlon with the Rome, Watertown & OKdensbiirK lOiilroad are staunch, safe boatH, built
expresHly for, and adapted to, the waters they navijfttte ; tlmt they ure not old boats remodeled, nor boats brought
fi'om <;alm and smooth river waters, and therefore unlit for navigation on such a lar^e body of water ua Lake Ontario,
liable to sudden and violent storms.

By taking the Rome, Watertown & OKdensburi; Railroad to Clayton, the traveler avoids the unpleasant ami
monotonous trip over Lake Ontario, with its Inevitable "inal de iner" when the lake is rouRh, and also the llaltllity to
delays and detentions when the loko steamers haul off from tlu ir re>?ular trips and refuse tn leave their moorinxs at
Charlotte or Oswego, on account of scpialls on the lake or tempestuous wt^ather. The fast trains of the Rome,
Watertown & OgdensburK Railroad run every day, tmhindercd by mjuuIIs or stormy weather, and paswnKcrs are
always certam of makinK connections. These trains run to Clayton expressly to avoid the lake trip, and to enable
tourists and pleasure-seekers to enjoy amonjr the Thousand Islands, the loveliest river resort In the world, the time
thus K^ined, and which otherwise would be consumed in an luicertaiii and nninterestinK lake passage.

The track has been relald with steel rails, the road-bed newly ballasted with gravel and stone, and the train service
has been augmented and improved by the introduction of new. heavy and powerful locomotives, especially designed
to haul heavy passenger trains at a high rate of speed.

In former years, before the construction of through rail lines to the River St. Lawrence, this business was
compellid to go via lake ports; but the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad, reolizing the great dissatisfaction
occasioned by people being obliged to take the lake route, extended its rail line to Clayton, and established there the
central point of the St. Lawrence River Steamboat System. Clayton at once became the great objective point for all
travel destined to the St. Lawrence River, and the perfect train service, with its steamboat connections, maintained by
the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad, meets the exacting re<iulrement8 of ell classes of travel.

St. 1 Awrence River and Thousand Island Pa-ssengers will find it to their Interest and comfort to take the Rome,
Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad, at Niagaro Falls, Suspension Bridge, Buffalo, Rochester, Charlotte, Syracuse,
Oswego, or Utica.

-PASSING THROUGH

ECTINC

ST. CLAIR 8UB-MflRlNE TUNNEL -"

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES

BY A CONTINUOUS ALL-RAIL LINE,

From the East to the West, via St. Clair Tunnel and Chicago,

the World's Fair City.

• HE ST. CLAIR TUNNEL has been constructed under the river of that name, at the foot of
Lake Huron, for tlio purpose of superseding the ferry boats whicli have liitherto conveyed the
trains of the Grand Trunk Route across tiiat river. It will afford immense advantages to
passengers, and for freiglit trailic, in avoiding the inconvenience of a ferry — in saving two
hoirrs of time — and in siiortening the distaice by about six miles. The actual tunnel itself under the
river is 6,026 feet long. It is lined throughout with solid cast iron plates, bolted together in segments,
each segment being five feet long, eighteen inches wide, and two inches thick, with flanges five inches
deep; the whole lining weighing together 28.000 tons. The bolts and nuts for connecting the
segments together weigh 2,000,000 pounds. The permanent vay tiirough the tunnel is laid with steel
rails, weighing one hundred pounds to the lineal yard. The interior diameter of the tuimel is twenty
feet, and ample means have been piovided for thorough ventihition, and for lighting it throughout,
when required, by the electric light. 1 he road is practically level under the river, with approaciies at
each end on gradients of 1 in 50. The total length of the tunnel and approaches is 11,553 feet. At
the ends of the approaciies are junctions with the Grand Trunk Railway on the Canadian side, and
the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway on the American side of the river. In connection with these
junctions ample ground has been levelled and prepared, and shunting sidings to the extent of ten
miles have already been laid on each side of the river.

The tunnel was constructeil by means of heavy wrought iron shields, with sharp edges, fifteen
feet three inches long, and twenty-one feet si.\ inches in diameter. Each slueld was pushed forward
by 24 hydraulic rams, the barrel of each ram being eight inches in diameter, with a stroke of a little
more than eighteen inches. Each ram exercised a force of 125 tons.

It is believed that the route as thus improved will offer facilities for through communication
between Chicago and all points in the East, wliicli will be appreciated by passengers and shippers.
There will be no more trouble from the ice blocks or other obstructions in the river, and the best time
will be made for traffic of ad descriptions.

From the date when the shields were first lowered in position at the portals to the meeting of the
shields in the tunnel, the time occupied in constructing the tunnel was twelve months. The cost of
the tunnel is in the neighborhood of $2,700,000.

ASK QUESTIONS.

WHEN a piano manufacturer tells you his pianos are the ASK HIM

best and that no others are worth considering, ask questions. \Af H ■ ■

As a matter of fact most pianos are good. The makers would be foolish
to do other than their best. The differences between them are small, But
Small Things Are Very Important.

It is by excelling in many little things that the WESER PIAMO is lifted above
the common mediocrity of pianodom. Maybe it's the greater elasticity of the
hammers, our new duet desk, or our practice pedal — both patented — which
altogether make so many artists persist in having the Weser Piano.

TALK TO US ABOUT IT. ASK US QUESTIONS.
