A tour by trolley over the entire system, engaging a few hours of swift, easy and delightful travel, will give a passenger a l)etter and more thorough idea of the size and matchless l)eauty of Toronto than can be had by any other means. Such a tour, made in one trip and only one way, over the ditferent sections of the line, atl'ords a ride exceeding 40 miles of actual continuous travel -or about one half of the entire mileage of the trolley systeiu reduced to single track. The purchase of a (juarter's worth of fare tickets enables a passenger to make the entire one-way tour of over 40 miles of " trolleying " in Toronto at about a half cent per mile — the longest single-fare trip, extending from Victoria Park, west to Toronto Junction— a dis- tance of ten miles — being made for .Si cents, or a trifle less than a third of a cent per mile. In no other city in the world is the railway fare on street cars so low as here. When Diamonds are Wanted We Can Interest Vou.

A better general idea can be obtained of Toronto ])y a ride round the Belt Line than in any other way. It encircles the major part of the city, the splendid re- tail stores of Kinsjj Street, the handsome residences of the merchant jjrinces in the suburbs, as well as a part of the older and less wealthy locality, passing in re- view on this favorite route. Half way u[) Sherbouriie Street are the Horticultural Gardens. At Bloor Street the cars turn westward past scores of the finest 2)rivate mansions in Canada. Most of the great educational institutes, for which Toronto is justly famous, are on the Belt Lnie, and it passes all the lead- ing hotels, and crosses all the other street car routes. The Belt Line trip is one of the most popular and in- terestinii: of the entire svstem, and during the summer eveniiiffs the cars on tliis line are crowded with ladies and babies out for an airing, and physicians prescribe this trip very generally as a most refreshing bed-time stimulant and diversion. THE VOMJE STREET LINE. Starting at the new l^nion Station, now in course of erection, the cars pass all the down-town hotels clus- tered at the corner of King and York Streets, and turning east, run along King Street to Yonge, the main artery of the city. This is the busiest corner in To- ronto, nearly all the street lar lines centre at this point and there is never a minute in the day but that some of these public conveyances are passing to and „^ : {Continued on page IH), k; bv It o ^ o 02 \jJatersop Ubars tbe Uailcr (or ll)ou R.

Nearly 3,000 trains or about 5,000 cars pass this point every day. Continuing uj) Yonge Street the line pierces the heart of the l)usiest retail section in Can- a(hi. The new City Buildings, the Salvation Army head(|uarters, Massey Hall, Y.M.C.A. ))uilding, the buildinsi of the V^)uni' Women's Christian (iuild and others are accessible to passengers by this route. The line terminates at the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks adjoining the North Toronto Railway Station, within a short distance of the Reservoir Park, one of the highest and prettiest s[)ots around the city. From the ])anks of the Reservoir on the brow of the hill, some good views are to be obtained. The naturally beautiful landscape has been improved by art, through the valley a creek winds its way to the lake, and shady walks and ([uiet nooks abound ; this is a favorite place for picnics. Mount Pleasant cemetery is some half mile away, and can be reached by taking the Metropolitan Rail- way electric cars from the north side of the C.P.R. tracks. On the return journey the cars run through the wholesale business section of the city, almost to the foot of Yonge Street, past the Board of Trade building and Custom House, to within a few steps of the wharves of the great Niagara Falls and Lake passenger and excursion steamers and the ferry steamers running to and from Toronto Island. 18 Street into it. s point le line 11 Caii- Arniy ig, the d and u.'iilvvay tatioiij one of From 3 hill, u rally irough shady 3 place away, Uail- h the 3 the ilding i the Bnger ining TRIUMPHS OF FI NE TAILORINC. 126 Yonge Street ►►► Waterson's Suits 19 tfjmt ]m \ ■\ [ I 5 I t ROYAL CANADIAN YACJIT CLUH IIOUSK, TOItONTO ISLAND, The Leading Diamond House of Canada . .

At Koncesvalles Avenue in the west, where King Street forms a junction with Queen, the cars hibelled *'High Park and Victoria Park " start on their jour- ney eastward, making close connection between the extreme east and west ends of the city. This line passes through Parkdale, one of the most charming of Toronto's residential sections, touches Exhibition Park — a special service being run during the exhibition season, which takes passengers direct to the main entrance of the Park — the Mercer Reformatory, and some of the great manufacturing establishments of Toronto, the Central Prison, Cattle Market and Live Stock Yards are on the line of the King Street cars on the west side of the city, and passing through its retail centre by the leading hotels. Going east the cars cross the Don River, pass the Baseball grounds and continue to the Woodbine race course, Kew Beach, Balmy Beach, Victoria Park, and through a section of m«.gnificent scenery traversed by streets which lead to the summer-outing homes in the bushlands near the lake, where many Torontonians and summer visitors from the States pass the season in cottages. Bathing and boating are excellent and extremely popular here. At the Woodbine Park the Toronto Railway con- nects with the Scarboro Electric Railway which passes through what is very aptly described as the " Switzer- land of America." This line has its terminus at the Victoria Park gates. Round-trip tickets are issued over both systems for fifteen cents. 80 ., iiftiiy o X Q o X o o o o St I ^ w 0^ ^ w (A dO ^ (0 c (fl D 9?

Trinity College, the Lunatic Asylum, and others. It continues through a sub-way at the Parkdale Kail- way Station, through the busiest part of the west- ern section of the city to the Sunnyside Clul) Boat House on the way to High Park, by the lake shore entrance. Here the trolley tourists, if they have time, will Hnd it impossible to resist the temptation to take the double-decked cars of the Mimico line for a trip along the Lake Shore Road, over the Humber to Long Branch. The Dundas Street cars, branching off Queen Street, run right into the I*ark by the more northerly entrance at College Street. High Park comprises some 800 acres of [)ictures(iue woodland scenery ; at every point new beauties present themselves, and a walk through its shady groves is a pleasure not to be forL'otten.

The fad was ([uite popular last winter and l)roke out in a new s2)ot late this sunnner with a de: mand for cars for 2)rivate '' Moonlight Excursions." Special cars are reserved for this service, the "Moonlight Excursion Cars" being specially fitted up with cluster and festooned electric lamps, and they travel in a bla/e of incandescent glory wherever they go. l^rivate Cars do not stop for other })assengers than those for whose service they have been specially engaged, and there is at least one well fi.ithenticated case where a man conn)lained of this fact in language ([uite plain, hot and strong for a minute and a half until a regular car came along — and then swore that a transfer ticket a couple of days old had been issued to him just five minutes before. Of such is the kingdom of kickers. They stop nearly everything but they can't stop a "Private Car." Ill IK I Ul il3 he O o So o o 37 TMK ()M> HOliSK (Alt.

The hum of the trolley ! It's the sound of a thing full of business- Inspiriting to the thousands on their way to office, store or factory every morning, And cheering them \\ith the bracing note of its tire- less whirr, as it whirls them all back to their homes every night. The trolley is a •' get-up-and-git " affair of the lirst order. If it were anything less the public would kick. Its popularity in Toronto attests that it is quite up to the mark. To the prosaic few the trolley car may seem merely a vehicle of conveyance to business or from one place to another. But there are thousands who travel on the trolley cars chiefly for the pleasure and recreation which they derive from the trips. Impromptu little family picnics and excursions by trolley cars to High Park, Mimico, Kew Beach, Victoria Park and other charming near-by resorts have become the rage. Business men find it delightfully convenient to drop work and worry for an hour or so in the day to enjoy the refreshing stimulant of a trolley trip to the suburbs and return. On summer evenings the open cars on all the long routes are thronged with mothers, children, sweet- hearts and other sensible people, in the thorough enjoyment of the recreation which these lively and extremely inexpensive pleasure trips afford. A further use for trolley cars has been discovered by •H ill 11 45 physicians, and possil)ly the trolley may yet be included with other recognized remedies of known and tried etHcacyiii the ofticial pharmacopjea. The original pre- scription of a well-known physician of this city to one of his favorite patients is at hand to prove the remedy prescribed and if it were necessary, the portrait of the patient, with his testimonial oi a speedy recovery, could easily be obtained in the usual way to serve as proof that the remedy " worked like a charm." The prescription reads : — R Trolley cars- Round trips on tho trailers II For Jnne and July. Take daily :— One after breakfast in the morning. The other after tea at night. Expert medical authorities attribute exceptional virtues to trolley trips in open cars during the sununer montlis for those afflicted with "that tired feeling," nervous depression, nervous prostration, insomnia, headaches and the entire host of kindred nervous troubles. Under the circumstances, it might possibly be worth something to find the "interesting case," (and there may be hundreds of them) who, having " tried all doctors and all other remedies in vain, tin- ally took " — trolley trips, and was cured. And the efficacy of this agreeable remedy is not a bit impaired by the ostensible fact that physicians who prescril)e trolley trips for others take the same delightful medicine in pretty stiff" doses themselves. Even the children like it, and cry for it. 40 i. o c < 9 2^ X pi fee o Yonge Street Cars pass many Tailors— but they all stop ^.i WATERSOfl'S 126 ~2-onsrG-3±3 ST. 47 REMINGTON STANDARD TYPEWRITER Georffe lieHf/oitf/It^ 45 Adelaide East.

The trolley postal car, deHigned to facilitate the col- lection and distribution of mail matter is now hein^ tested in one or two leadin«^ cities in the Ignited States. As soon as its [iractical utility has been Hrndy estab- lished, the Toronto Railway (\)mi)any will l)e ready to adopt the idea on the recommendation of the postal authorities. Tn time there may be a demand for a local and sub- urban ex})ress and freight service ])y trolley cars. When that time arrives the com[)any will be ready to operate a special service for that purpose. A partial test was made of conveying the city's gar- bage in trolley carts by night. Tn time, '^e com|)any, evei ready to extend its usefulness, nwi ) asked to supply this service under a permanent arrangement. Many bright suggestions, intended for the company's benetit, come from clever people, and all receive care- ful attention, l^sually they are unicpie rather than useful. For instance, one idea recently suggested by a Tor- onto undertaker, proposed the operation of a specially constructed private funeral car. His design repre- sented a long car, finished in black, trimmed in silver and hung with black curtains. The forward (piarter section of the car was to be enclosed and provided for the reception of the casket, and the remainder of the car, furnished in sumptuous but sombre upholstering, for the mourners. The suggestion bristled with details but — at present the company is wholly engaged in con- tinually improving the service for live people. 6^ h A- y. c . — 7. — L. * be O oj a o a: H o H 126 YONGE ST.

A jjMsseiiger, starting with the first car of any line at 5.80 in the morning, would have to keep on riding on trolley cars continually and without intermission from that early hour, all through the day and evening, re turning on the last car at 12 o'clock at night, in order to make the total round trips on all the different lines of the Toronto trolley system and its trolley connections. x\nd such a ride would embrace a trip covering over 125 miles. The speed at which cars are run in the city is from six to ten miles an hour, and the service on the different lines is timed as follows : Yoiujp.
