BEAUGRAND'S OF MONTREAL CANADA 'A 1903 F^RIOE; : 25 Ooots. M I ZEPHYR VENTILATOR ZEPHYR Though this Ventilator has been patented and put on the market for four or five months only, it has already proven its superiority and’ usefulness in helping out many families who were compelled to use soft [coal for domestic purposes last winter. The burning of this fuel calls for a powerful draft, or otherwise the smoke spreads out in the house and the coal gives very little heat. Our ZEPHYI^ Ventilator adapted on such a chimney, is of a large use- fulness. We Guarantee a perfect draft and therefore easy combustion. If the result is not as we claim, we will take the ventilator back and refund the money. It possesses the same qualities for ventilating the rooms of Clubs, Kitchens, Steam. Laundries, Cotton Mills, Etc. As shown by the above sketch, our ventilator saves the expense of building high chimneys. LESSARD & HARRIS Sole Proprietors & flanufacturers 7 St. Elisabeth Street, MONTREAL INTRODUCTION A Handy Guide containing a complete and convenient map of the City of Montreal, together with a concise and useful book of information for its numerous visitors has long been needed. It is true there already exists several Guide Books of Montreal and its suburbs, but none so far can be termed a Handy Book of Information on Montreal. ’’ The majority of them are too voluminous, too bulky, to be handled easily; the others too historical, too much documentary or descrip- tive to be at hand to the busy stranger who steps in the Canadian metropolis and wants useful pointers on a thousand and one different subjects, and at every hour of the day. We hope this Guide and specially prepared Map, which by the way is the most complete and up-to-date map that has ever been published in Montreal, will both fill a long-ifelt want. True, it is, as in the days of the Preacher, that “ of making many books (of Montreal) there is no end, ” but in the legion of local literature it is hoped that there is more than a vacant sorner for a modern, accurate, and reliable Handy Guide, which, while avoiding the Scylla of shallow cheapness and superficiality, shall yet steer clear of the Charybis of extrava- gant cost. With this hope, this modern, and it is believed, fairly com- plete, volume is sent forth to sue for the favor of the many thousands visiting the City of Montreal, the Metropolis of Canada. R.

HANDY GUIDE TO THE of /TIbontreal I General facts as to the City of Montreal M ONTREAL’S geographical position is one of the most advantageous and, for a close observer, it is no wonder it became the chief city of Canada by its importance, its population and its business. The last census (1901) quotes Mont- real with its suburbs at the 350,000 mark. But Montreal is moreover the financial and manufacturing centre of Canada, and also its chief port. Montreal is situated on an island formed by the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers and on the site of the ancient village of Hoche- laga, visited by Jacques-Cartier in 1535. A trading post was esta- blished here by the French 250 years ago ; and this was the last place yielded by the French to the English in 1760. For many years it was the chief centre of the fur trade. Montreal’s geographical position. — It is unrivalled Montreal, at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa ; at the point where the St. Lawrence ceases to be navigable for ocean ships, and where that great river aftbrds a gigantic water-power ; at the meeting point of the two races that divide Canada, and in the centre of a fertile plain, nearly as large as all England, has guarantee for future greatness, not based on human legislation. but in the unchanging decrees of the Eternal. The street bustle is sufficient, and the business activity enough, to convince anyone that Montreal is a great modern city. The origin of the word Montreal. — History says that Jacques-Cartier having visited the Indian village situated at the very place where Montreal is to-day, expressed the desire to ascend the mountain near by, and was conducted thither by the natives. From its summit he discovered an immense excent of fine country, interspersed with rivers, woods, hills and islands, the site of which filled him with feelings of joy and gratification. In honor of his king, the king of France, he gave to the elevation, the name— which has since extended to the city— Mont-R^al (two french words meaning Mount Royal). The population. — The population at the end of French rule in 1760 was some 3,000 ; in 1790, 9,000 ; in 1809, about 12,000 ; in 1842, 50,000 ; in 1871, 107,000. To-day, as has already been said, it is over 350,000. Its shipping trade, founded on the ancient annual barter between the Indian tribes here, amounted in 1840 to 31,266 tons, in 1902 to some 4,000,000 tons divided between ocean- going and inland vessels ; while the number of its transatlantic lines was 15. Prior to 1851 only vessels under 600 tons, and drawing not more than 11 feet of water, could pass up to Montreal ; but by degrees, a channel 30 feet deep has been dredged all the way up so as to admit of the largest ships reaching the port from the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time the inland canals have been deepened to some 14 feet. But Montreal is not only the chief port. It is also the head office of two transcontinental lines, the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk railways. Other important companies are also situated here. Among its banks it is only necessary to name the Bank of Montreal, one of the most important banks of the world, the Mer- chants Bank, the Hochelaga Bank, the Molsons Bank, the Provin- cial Bank, etc. The St. Lawrence River. — The River St. Lawrence is 1500 miles long, and drains an area of 330,000 square miles. From Mon- treal to Quebec, a distance of 160 miles, its width varies from one to two miles ; from a short distance below Quebec to the Gulf of St. Lawrence it varies from 10 to 35 miles in width. Half way — 7 — between Montreal and Quebec it widens out into Lake St. Peter, which is twenty miles long and nine miles wide. The distance from Montreal to the Atlantic Ocean is a little under 1,000 miles. The eity is 250 miles iftbove salt water, and it is 315 miles nearer to Liverpool than is the city of New York. One third of the whole distance to Europe, by way of the St. Lawrence, is comparatively in smooth water. Westwardly, the distance from Montreal to Chicago, by the St. Lawrence, is 1261 miles or 158 miles less than the distance from New York to the same city, while the canals of the St, Lawrence Aggregate only 70 miles against 350 miles of artificial navigation by the Erie canal to Buffalo. 'Water supply. — The water supply of the city is taken from the St. Lawrence about one mile above the head of the Lachine Rapids, at a point about 37 feet above the summer level of the harbor of Montreal. The Climate — On the average Montreal’s climate is a very healthy one. The following are taken from official figures and are calculated from the last nine years. Thermometer. Lowest reading, 26 below zero. Highest, 90 in the shade. Barometer. Highest reading, 31. 091 inches. Lowest, 28. 913 inches. Velocity of the wind. Highest reading, 65 miles an hour. Rain- fall : Highest, snow and rain, in 1890, 42. 598 inches. Lowest, in 1891, 28. 778 inches. The area. — The city of Montreal, without counting the suburbs, covers and area of 9 J square miles, or 6, 072 acres, divided into thirteen wards : St. Gabriel, Hochelaga, St. Jean- Baptiste, St. Anne, Centre, West, St. Antoine, East, St. James, St. Lawrence, St. Louis, St. Mary, and St. Denis. The number of dwellings in these wards is calculated to be 48,157 and the number of families 51,759. It is a fair calculation to say that there is an average of 6ve members by family. Financial standing’. — Montreal’s yearly revenue amounts to f3, 400,000. (Reports for the year 1902.) Taxable property . $155,000,000. Exempted from taxation, $39,000,000. The city’s debt amounts to $27,500,000. — 8 — II ^ The arrival in Montreal locate the places referred to in this chapter, please consult the annexed map. Advice to inexperienced travelers. — An arriva; in Montreal, or in any other larsje city, alone and for the first time, is an ordeal to which many persons look forward with justifiable dread. What shall they do first — whither shall they go — what arrangements are to be made regarding baggage — how shall they find the proper way — how escape mischievous misleading of some sort and unnecessary expenses ? These questions occur to many inexperienced travelers ; and it is the purpose of this chapter to answer them, as to Montreal, as explicitly as possible. As it has already been stated in the preceeding chapter, Montreal is not only the chief port of entry of Canada, it is the head of several important railroad lines. So that you may enter the Canadian Metropolis either by land or by water, by train or by steamer. Railway Stations — There are three railway stations in Montreal, viz. the Windsor street station, the Bonaventure Sta* tion, and the Viger square Station. The Windsor street Station is on Windsor street, in the western part of the City. It is the main station of the Canadian Pacific Railway. As a rule this station connects with all points west and south on the Canadian Pacific Railway system. This station is also used by the St. Lawrence and Adirondack Railway, the New York Central, Boston & Maine, R. R., etc. The Bonaventure Station is on St. James street, in the western part of the City, near Windsor street. It is the chief station of the Grand Trunk Railway. This station is also used by the Interco- — 9 — lonial Railway, the Central Vermont R. R., the Canada & Atlan- tic R. R., the Delaware and Hudson R. R., the South Shore R. R., and some other local lines. As a rule, trains from this station connect whith all points west and south. The Viger Square Station, is on Craig street, in the eastern part of the City, near St. Denis street. It is another Canadian Pacific station and as a rule connects with eastern and northern points. This station is also used by some Northern local trains. Steamers. — Montreal possess Steam Ferries, River and Lake Steamers, Gulf Steamers and Ocean Steamers. Steam Ferries ply at frequent intervals to St. Helen’s Island (every fifteen minutes ); Longueuil (every seventeen minutes) ; Laprairie (four or five times a day). River and Lake Steamers ply regularly from Montreal up or down the river St. Lawrence to Quebec, Three Rivers, the Saguenay, Beauharnois, Lachine, Cornwall, Kingston, Toronto, and other ports ; up the Ottawa river to Carillon and Ottawa ; to Sorel and to ports on the river Richelieu. Gulf Steamers run to Charlottetown, Pictou, St. John’s, Nfld., and other ports in Gasp4, the Baie des Chaleurs, Mag- dalen Islands, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton and the gulf St. Lawrence. Ocean Steamers run to Liverpool, to Glasgow, to London, to Havre, to Bristol, to Antwerp, and to other transatlantic ports.

Baggage transfers and delivery. Each passenger on a Canadian railway is generally entitled to 150 pounds of luggage {baggage) free : but it may be said that a little overweight is seldom charged for. The so-called “Check System” makes the management of luggage very simple. On arrival at the station, the traveler shows his railway ticket and hands over his impe- diments to the Baggage Master, who fastens a small metal or eard-board tag to each article and gives the passenger similar “checks” with corresponding numbers. The railway Comp'iny then becomes responsible for the luggage and holds it until reclai- med at the passenger’s destination by the presentation of the duplicate check. As the train approaches the larger cities, a Trans- fer Agent usually walks through the cars, undertaking the delivery of luggage in the city and giving receipts for the checks. The charge for this is usually 25 cents per package. It is thus more .economical to have one large trunk than two or three smaller ones. — 11 — The hotel porters who meet the train will also take the traveler’s checks and see that the baggage is delivered at the hotel. In departing, the trunks may be sent to the railway station in the same way, either through a transfer agent or the hotel porter ; and if the traveler already has his railway ticket, they may be checked through from the house or hotel to his destination. Baggage, unaccompanied by its owners, may be sent to any part of the Country by the Express Companies, which charge in pro- portion to weight and distance. The drawbacks to the transfer system are lo, that the baggage must usually be ready to be called for before the traveler himself requires to start, and 2o, that sometimes a little delay may take place in its delivery ; but chis may of course be avoided by the more expensive plan of using a carriage between the railway station and the hotel.

This is a question that might be debated a long time and yet pass without a satisfactory answer. In the first place, even excluding all the sights dealt with at length in other chap- ters, such as the theatres, the parks, the harbor, etc., it would be a huge day of hard work to attempt to inspect the remaining fea- tures of Montreal. It is, therefore, proposed here merely to lay down the principal caracteristics of Montreal and give the best and quickest means of throwing a good preliminary glance on the City. First, let us say the City is divided into two parts, the East and the West, the dividing line being St. Lawrence Main street which you can easily find on the map. The French part of the population, which is more than half of the total, occupy mainly the eastern section of the city. The Irish occupy the south west part known as Point St. Charles and the English and Scotch generally live in the western part. The chief business streets, with the best shops and stores are St. Catherine street, St. James street, Notre Dame streets, and also St. Lawrence street, all except the latter running parallel with the River St. Lawrence. The streets immediately adjoining the river, principally in the Cbntre part of the city, are reserved for wholesale houses, storages, provision merchants, and business pertaining to the harbor, as marine companies etc.. Banking, insurance, stock exchange, mining, and brokers in general are to be found south of the Post Office, on St. Francois Xavier street, St. Sacrament, Notre Dame, St. James, St. Peter, Place D’Armes, etc. The manufactures, as a rule, are located in the extreme parts of the city, on the boundary limits, either east or west. — 21 — The “ newspaper row ” is on St. James street, between St. Lambert Hill and the Post Office. There we found the important French dailies occupying magniOcient offices, La Presse^ La Patrie^ Le Journal and Le Canada, The English papers are a little more west, the Star being on St, James street near St. Peter street, the Herald on Craig street near St. Francois Xavier, the Gazette^ opposite the latter and the Witness on Craig street corner Bleury. The handsomest residences are located on the north western part ^ of the city, adjoining the slope of Mount Royal. Most of the public edifices and many of the private residences, may be said, en pas- ^ sant^ are built of a fine grey limestone, quarried in the neighbour- ^ hood. ^ For a Car drive, around the City taking as a starting point * Dominion square, we would advise the following route : i- j Take Windsor and St. La? or ence car going west which will bring it you St. Catherine west and around Westmount. Returning, e transfer at Glen on St. Henry Car. Then transfer to Notre Dame street and take car going east to Maisonneuve. Return by same j street connecting with St. Catherine car going west. Transfer ^ corner St. Catherine and St. Lawrence and take Ontario and Wellington car going north and then east. Transfer at DeLorimier I street taking Craig and DeLorimier car going south and Craig ^ street west. Then transfer corner Craig street and Place j d’Armes Hill taking Ontario and Wellington car going west. Re- turn by same way and transfer corner Bleury and Craig or St. ^ Lawrence and Craig on Amherst Belt Line car which will bring you j back to corner St. Lawrence and Craig. Then transfer on Windsor ^ and St. Lawrence car which will bring you to Dominion square. No extra charge for transfers when going in opposite direction. ^ Approximate time, 4 hours. Cost, 20 to 25 cents. Approximate number of miles, JO miles. B — 22 VI. Public Buildingrs The reader will notice that in the present chapter no mention is made of the churches, hospitals, educational or benevolent institutions, historical monuments or tablets, markets, or buil- dings connected with the harbor. The writer thought advisable to devote special chapters to these different features. For the pre- sent, let us consider just the governmental, municipal and com- mercial buildings of Montreal. It might be said that the Place d’Armes is the very heart of Montreal. There we find the Bank of Montreal, one of the grea- test financial institutions of the world, and which is considered a masterpeice of architecture. It is built in the Corinthian style and has a frontage on St. James street of over 100 feet and extends over Fortification street in the rear, down to Craig street. The entrance is by a portico, supported by immense columns of cut stone. These are surmounted by a pediment. The sculpture on the pediment is 52 feet long, and weighs over 25 tons, there being twenty different pieces. The figures are colossal, 8 feet in height for a human figure, and are placed at an elevation of 50 feet from the ground. Adjoining the Bank of Montreal, at the corner of St. James and St. Francois Xavier streets, is the Post Office, a building of grey limestone, with a frontage on St. James street of 129 feet. The style of architecture is modern Italian. The central tower contains a large illuminated clock, with immense dial plate. The whole building coats about $800,000. Then, at the corner of St. James and Place d’Armes, there is the New York Life Insurance Building with magnificient view — 23 — from tower. Close by is the Imperial building and the palatial new buildings of the Liverpool & London & Globe Insurance Company corner St. James and Place d’Armes and of the Royal Insurance Company, corner Notre Dame and Place d’Armes. La Banque Provinciale is on the east side of place d’Armes and is a well executed building in the modern French Renaissance style, four stories in height with high mansard roof. The Banque d’Ho- chelaga on St. James street, near Place d’Armes, is also a fine building. Then following Notre Dame street to the east from Place d’Ar- mes, we soon reach the Court House, a large edifice in a classical style, with a central dome. But the most striking feature is its large Ionic portico. Ample proportions are given to the entran- ces, vestibules, corridors, and staircases, while spacious halls of justice and public offices are laid out, as well as ante rooms and private chambers for the judges and chief officers of the court. The total length of the building is 300 feet ; width, 125 feet ; height, BX) feet. It is built wholly of Montreal stone. Close by is the City Hall which is a very handsome building. It is 185 feet in length, and is built in adaptation of Modern French style, with lofty mansard roof and central pavilion. All the muni- cipal offices are in this building. The Recorder’s court, police Office, and Detective Headquarters are in the basement. (The city is governed by a Mayor and thirty-four aldermen, all elected every two years.) Continuing eastwardly on Notre Dame street, we find a little further on the left, the Viger square station where come in one section of the C. P. R. trains. Returning to Place d’Armes by Craig street will be seen on the right hand the Drill Shed, headquarters for Montreal’s military service. Then, on St. Gabriel street, the Provincial Government Building, which is just a place of sitting for the Quebec Legislature ministers when they come to Montreal. In the same building are the head offices of the Board of Arts and Manufactures which is a commission nominated by the Provincial Government for holding industrial exhibitions, carrying on technical schools, etc. — 24 — Starting west from Place d’Armes square, on St. James street, will be seen the British North America Bank Building, the St. Lawrence Hall, the imposing buildings of the Standard, Temple, Canada Life, the Guardian and London and Lancashire, then the Molsons and Merchants Bank, near St. Peter street. Corner Mc- Gill street is che Bank of Toronto Building. Turning on McGill street, towarrds the river, will be seen the magnificient building of the Grand Trunk Railway Company. Returning east by way of St. Paul street, you will admire occupying nearly all the space between St. John, St. Sacrament, St. Nicholas and St. Paul streets, the new Board of Trade Buil- ding, a large edifice of grey limestone in a modified Renaissance style, built in 1902-03 with a facade 234 feet long. Eastwerdly, close by, on St. Sacrament street are the head offices of the Great North Western Telegraph Company, corner of St. Francois Xavier street, and a little to the north, on the latter street, at the corner of Hospital street, the neat building of the C. P. R. Telegraph Company. On Hospital street is also to be found the Montreal Stock Exchange Building which deserves a special visit. The west end, in the vicinity of Dominion square, also comprises several imposing public buildings ; viz. the Bonaventure Staticm starting point of the Grand Trunk lines, the Windsor Hotel on Dominion square, and the Windsor street C. P. R. station. Further east, at the junction of Craig and Notre Dame streets, to be found the Montreal jail, a spacious stone building. - 25 - VII. City’s Parks and Squares Properly speaking there are no boulevards in the city of Montreal, but it is to the broad acres of its parks, its beautiful and artistic abundance of squares, that Montreal owes of her adulatory appel- lation, “The Garden City of Canada”. Mount Royal Park. — Mount Royal Park is not only Mont- real’s most magnificient park, but it is recognized as one of the most splendid parks of the world. It is visited daily, during the sum- mer season, by hundreds of tourists from all parts of the globe. Its beautiful and romantic drives, balmy air, and matchless view from its lofty summit, will always have a fascination for the lovers of nature. To visit Montreal and not to have visited Mount Royal Park, is to have missed the principal attraction of our island city. VVe strongly advise visitors to pay a visit to this “paradise for weary humanity” The park might be reached either by the Mountain Elevator which connects with the top of Bleury street car line, or by a winding roadway or again by long flights of steps ascending from the head of Peel street and near the elevator. The park covers 460 acres and is one of the most beautifully situated in the world. Its natural advantages have been skilfully supplemented by the taste and experience of Mr. Olmsted, the designer of Central Park, New York. The moun- tain consists of a mass of trap-rock thrown up through the sur- rounding strata of limestone. From the top of the Incline Rail- way we reach out the Outlook Platform by taking the path to the left and then following the drive. It may also be remarked that a path beginning just on this side of the platform descends to the head of the Peel street steps. The view of the city and its environs from the platform is superb. Beyond the city flows the St. Lawrence, with the Island of St. Helen and the Victoria Bridge, one of the greatest modern specimens of engineering skill. - 26 — The mountains on the other side of the river, named from left to right include Montar ville, Beloeil, Mt. Rougemont, with Mount Yamaska behind it, Mt. Shefford, and the conical Mt. Johnson. The Adirondacks are also visible in the distance to the South West and the Green Mountains to the South East. Fletcher’s Park. — On the very slope of Mount Royal, on the eastern side, is to be found Fletcher’s Park. In summer it is the play grounds of hundreds and hundreds of children and to all those who intend spending a cool and quiet afternoon it is a most popu- lar rendez-vous. St. Helen’s Island. — Montreal possesses another pleasant park on the Island of St. Helen which was named after Cham- plain’s wife, the first European lady that came to Canada. St. Helen’s Island is reached by a small steamer plying from the Richelieu & Ontario Wharves. A fort and barracks, formerly used by the British troops, still remain. There are also to be found on the Island public baths, attractions of all kind, refreshments, etc. The return fare is 5 cents. Lafontain© Park. — Lafontaine Park, with its magnificient fiower conservatory and its artificial lake, deserve also a special visit. It is bounded, as will be seen on the Map, by Sherbrooke street, Papineau avenue, Rachel and Amherst streets. It is easily reached by any of the Amherst Belt Line Cars. Champ de Mars.— At the back of the Court House and City Hall extends the Champ-de-Mars,the parade Ground of Montreal’s militia men. ^^©stmount Park.

Monuments, Historical Souvenirs and Tablets Montreal counts but few monuments which are worth seeing, but, on the other hand, it is full of historical souvenirs which the patriotism of a certain number of citizens has kept to public devo- tion by memorial tablets in white marble to be found at several places in the city. These are the principal monuments : The Statue of Maisonneuve. — The founder of the City of Montreal, by Hubert. It stands in the centre of Place d’Arraes square. It is of bronze and represents Maisonneuve in the cui- rass and the French costume of the seventeenth century, holding the fleur-de-lys banner. The pedestal, of granite, shows the ins- cription : “Paul, Chom^dy de Maissonneuve, fondateur de Mont- real, 1642.” It rests upon a fountain and displays several bas- reliefs. Nelson’s Monu’nent.— A column surmounted by the statue of Admiral Nelson, erected in 1808 to celebrate the victory of Trafalgar. It stands on Notre Dame street at the entrance of Jacques-Cartier Square. Queen Victoria. — This colossal bronze statue, by Marshall Wood, occupies the St. James street side of Victoria Square.

Bourget Monument.— This splendid Monument erected in June 1903 stands at the entrance of St. James Cathedral, near Dominion square. It was erected by the Catholics to venerate the memory of one of their beloved bishops. Sir John MacDonald Monument. — On the southern por- tion of Dominion Square will be found Sir John MacDonald Monu- ment. He was one of the most brilliant statesmen of this country and died only a few years a»o. Historical souvenirs and Tablets.— The Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal have carried out the very lau- dable project of erecting tablets recording many interesting events in the history of Montreal. This work, inspired by a strong feeling of patriotism, has been quietly carried out, but in a most satisfactory manner. The tablets affixed to the walls are all in white marble, with the inscription carved in dark letters, in French or English, according to the locality in which they are placed and the nature of the incident recorded. The following is the text of these inscriptions with their posi- tions in various parts of the city. At the same time, it will ena- ble the stranger to see which are the most interesting historical points of Montreal to visit.

I. 1 River front and Harbor One of the most interesting visits to be made in Montreal is to the River front and Harbor. It is a well known fact that Montreal derives its great bustle and activity from its harbor. This accounts for the enormous amounts of money which have been spent since late years on Montreal’s harbor improvements. Starting from the eastern part, near Maisonneuve, we first see three large wharves in course of construction, viz. (beginning by the east) : the Sutherland wharf, the Tarte wharf and the Laurier wharf. Each of these wharves have 1000 feet in length and will be accessible to vessels drawing 30 feet. In the more center part of the harbor, we find four other large wharves : the Victoria (1000 feet with an addition), the Jacques- Cartier (1000 feet) ; the Edward VII. (1000 feet) ; and the Alexandra (800 feet). It may be said that the walk between the Bonsecours market and the Custom House aftbrds a good view of the Harbor, with its wharves and shipping. The river front is protected by a solid concrete embankment (1 ^ miles long) beginning at the entrance of Lachine canal. The wharves including those of the Allan, Dominion, Beaver, Richelieu and Ontario, and several other im- portant lines, lie about ten feet below the level of the embank- ment, the object in this arrangement being to allow the ice to pass over them, when it breaks up at the end of winter. Vessels drawing 27 ^ feet can reach Montreal at low water, and the channel is usually unobstructed by ice from the beginning of April to the end of November. Elevators. — While visiting the wharves, the Stranger will notice a few large grain elevators. In the eastern part, near Bonsecours market^ are two grain elevators belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, with a combined capacity of 1,000,000 bushels. 3 The Weber elevator, which is just completed, occupies the river front between Edward VII. and Jacques Cartier wharves. The following figures concerning the Weber elevator will prove in* teresting : Height from head of piles to wharf level, 23 feet. Wharf level to bins, 25 feet. Height of Bins, 85 feet. Height above bins, 95 feet. Height of Elevator from top of piles, 228 feet. Height from wharf level, 205 feet. The height of Elevator from foundation is about 278 feet. Cost of Elevator, $606,600. Cost of Concrete shore wharf, $95,000. Capacity, 1,000,000 bushels. The Weber Elevator was constructed by the Steel Storage and Elevator Company of Buffalo. Then, there is on Windmill Point, in the western section of the Harbor, the Grand Trunk Elevator, which will also have a capacity of over 1,000,000 bushels. Gruard Pier. — These large wharves jutting out into the river have involved the building of a long guard pier or “ ice break- water,” stretching to the east from the north end of the Victoria Bridge. This pier is to be completely finished with concrete and the inner part of it will also be accessible to deep w^ater vessels. Buildings. — On the river front are to be found several build- ings connected with the harbor’s business. The Examining Warehouse is on Commissioners street, near McGill. Properly speaking, it forms part to the Custom House. It is a large grey limestone building four stories high. Further on east is the Harbor Commission Office which occu. pies a large cut stone building. The Harbor Commission consists of members nominated partly by the Montreal Board of Trade, the Corn Exchange, the Chambre de Commerce, and the City Council, and partly by the Dominion Government. Its duties are to watch over the harbor, and generally to supervise all matters connected with the commerce of the City, other than the collec- tion of custom duties. The board has also care of the channel the river as far as Quebec. Nearby, on Custom House square, is the Inland Revenue Office. In old times it was the marliet place of the town. Then we find the Custom House a triangular building of grey limestone, with an illuminated clock tower. The Custom House was originally erected by the Royal Insurance Company, and in 1870 purchased for $200,000 . There are three principal entrances, the most imposing being that by the stone portico facing Custom House square, and the other two being from Commissioners street and Common street, respectively. The long Room, the chief feature of the building, is 94 feet long, 26 feet wide and 27 feet high. The ceiling is very beautifully decorated, and at one end is placed the Royal Coat of Arms. The Warehousing apartments are exceedingly spacious and commodious. Three elevators are use in taking packages to the different flats. Victoria Bridge.— One of the chief lions of Montreal is the Victoria Bridge. The Victoria Tubular Bridge, which was designed by Robert Stephenson and A. M. Ross and built in 1854 59 was on the same principle that had been successfully applied by Stephenson a few years earlier in the Britannia bridge over the Menai strait. It was 1 | miles in length and consisted or 24 tubes supported by 24 piers besides the terminal abutments. The tubes, which were of wrought iron, were 16 feet wide and 18^-22 feet high. They were traversed by a single line of railway. The total cost of the bridge was $6,300,000. This bridge, long re- garded as one of the greatest bridges in the world, finally proved inadequate for the traffic and was replaced in 1898-99 by the Victoria J ubilee Bridge, a pin-connected truss bridge with 25 spans, accomodating two railway-tracks, together with two road- ways and two footpaths. The new bridge rests on the same piers as the old one and was constructed over and arouud the latter with- out disturbing the traffic. The engineer was Mr. Joseph Hobson . The total cost was $20,000,000. The old bridge entire weighed 9,044 tons, the new bridge weighs 22,000 tons. The total lengtli of the bridge is 6,592 feet, length of centre span, 330 feet, length of side spans, 252 feet. The flooring of the present bridge weighs 2,800 pounds per lineal foot, and each span has been so erected that it will carry not only a train on each track, moving on opposite directions, but going at a rate of forty-five miles an hour, with a total weigUi of 4,000 pounds to the lineal foot, but also an electric train weighing 1,000 pounds per lineal foot, moving at a rate of twenty- five miles an hour ; as well as driveways and footwalks crowded with vehicles and pedestrians. The new bridge ranks, from an engineering standpoint, with ths foremost structures of the age, as the bridge which it replaces ranked the foremost as a monument to the skill of the engineer and bridge builders of the period in which it was built. 37 X. Educational and Benevolent Institutions EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS Montreal’s educational establishments are divided into 1st, Universities ; 2nd, Colleges and Convents ; 3rd, Schools, Universities. — McGill University is one of the leading univer- sities ef Canada. It is now attended by over 1200 students, taught by 150 professors and lecturers. The buildings are to be found on Sherbrooke street, between McTavish and University, on the very slope of the mountain. McGill College was feunded in 1821 with the bequest of James McGill (1744-1813), a native of Glasgow, and has since been richly endowed by other public- spirited citizens of Montreal. It now includes the five faculties of Arts, Law, Medecine, Applied Science, and Veterinary Science ; and with it are affiliated the Diocesan, Wesleyan, Presbyterian, and Congregational Colleges of Montreal. The Course in Arts provide for the education of women in separate classes. The University owes much of its success to Sir William Dawson, the eminent geologist, who was its principal till 1893, when he was succeeded by Dr. William Peterson. The buildings include the original McGill College ; the Workman Building, the McDonald Physics Building, the McDonald Engineering Building, and the McDonald Chemistry and Mining Building, all unsurpassed in America for completeness of equipment ; the Redpath Museum containing valuable collections of natural history ; the Redpath Library with accomodation for 150,000 volumes ; the Medical Building ; and the Royal Victoria College, a residential college for woman students, endowed by Lord Strathcona and open in 1899.

Markets and Abattoirs of the City. Montreal possesses two abattoirs, the Western and the Eastern. The latter is by far the more important one. It is located in the upper part of De Lorimier Avenue occupying some twenty acres of land. The main buildings are the Cattle building, the Hogs building, the Refrigerators, and the main Offices. One may judge of the importance of this Abattoir by the follow- ing figures taken from the last statement of animals killed in 19©2 : 62,217 cattle : 82,244 sheep ; 43,987 calves and 112,828 hogs. Besides these Abattoirs, there are nine public Markets in Montreal which deserves special visit on market days, Tuesdays and Fridays. Bonsecours Market.— On the River front, near Jacques- Cartier square. It is a large building nearly 500 feet long. This should be visited on market days between 5 a.m., and 10 a.m.) when it is crowded with Habitants (country people) oftering their farm and garden produce for sale, or briying clothing, shoes, trinkets, rosaries, etc. The cost of Bonsecours Market is $300,000 and it brings over $35,000 of revenues to the City every year. St. Lawrence Market. — On St. Lawrence street, between Dorchester and St. Catherine streets. Built in 1846, it is one of the oldest markets of the city. Florists from the vicinity of Montreal generally offer their produce at this market. St. Antoine Market. On St. James street, between Moun- tain and Aqueduct streets : This market was built in 1865. St.John Baptist Market. -On Upper St. Lawrence street, corner Rachel street. This market was ,built in 1870, by the municipality of John Baptist which has since been annexed to the City. St. J&IH6S ^Mark©t. — On Ontario street, between Amherst and Wolfe streets. It was built in 1871 and is one of the most important markets of the city, bringing yearly revenues of over $30,000. ElastGrii Cattl© Mark©t. — On Upper Frontenac street. This market was built in 1885 and occupies some ten acres of land. Its stables can contain 1,000 cattles. "W#^st©rn Cattl© Mark©t. — On St. Etienne street, in Point St. Charles. This market was built in 1901 and does very good business. Fish Mark©t. — On Commissioners stroet, between Berri and Friponne streets. This is where the fishermen offer their catch to the public. Hay Mark©t. — On Hay Market square, bounded by St. Paul, Inspector and William streets. Was open to the public in 1865. The farmers meet here to sell their hay and straw. LUBPS GIVES NEW LIFE TO THE HAIR. — 48 — XIII. Sports. Apart from good fishing and excellent hunting which the sportsmen might enjoy by coming to Montreal, there is also a good number of summer as well as of winter sports. SUMMfCR SPORTS Lachine — Is the national game of Canada and takes proce- dence of all others in public estimation. To the stranger, a game of lacrosse, specially a championship match, is a most attractive sight, being full of incident, simple in its nature and easily fol- lowed. A match lasts about two hours. Montreal has a great number of lacrosse clubs, tha most important being the Shamrock club, the National club, the Montreal A. A. A. club, the DeLori- mier club, the Point St. Charles club, etc. Basoball. — The baseball lovers are also very numerous in Mon- treal and they are increasing every day. It is only last year Mon- treal severed its connection with the Eastern Leogue where it once held the championship pennant. The Mascotte club is the strongest local aggregation. Football. — Football flourishes in Montreal and several impor- tant clubs are to be found ; amongst others, the Britannias, the Montreals, the McGill College clubs, etc. The Rugby Union rules are most generally adopted. Cyclitig. Cycling is not so much in vogue as it would be if the country roads were better. There are but a few clubs : the Mon- treal A. A. A., the Montagnard. Automobiling, for the same reason, is not very popular. Yach.ting“ and Boating*. — Montreal’s yachting headquarters are at Lachine (9 miles west), on the shore of the magnificent lake St. Louis. But there are in Montreal several canoe clubs, the Grand Trunk Boating Club being the most important. Numerous — 49 — regattas open to all amateurs (principally at St. Lambert, Lon- gueuil, Lachine, Dorval, Ste. Rose), are held annually. Q'Olf. (xolfing is quite popular in Montreal ; there being fine goll links on Mount Royal Park and in the suburbs. Great inte- rest is taken in the game. Visiting golfers may be assured by a warm welcome. Interprovincial and international tournaments are annual events. The St. Andrew rules are generally followed. Cricket. — This game excites little general interest in Montreal. There are but a few clubs of cricket which compete annually with clubs of other cities. Lawa Tennis. — Lawn Tennis still lags behind that of Great Britain or the United States. Several clubs exist in Montreal but, as a rule, there is not much general enthusiasm about the game. Horse Racing. — Flat and trotting races are very popular in Montreal. The principal race tracks are Royal Park (Notre Dame street east, Maisonneuve), DeLorimier track (Upper end of De- Lorimier avenue) and Belair track (a few miles west outside the City. WINTER SPORTS. < Skating. — Skating can be enjoyed to perfection in Montreal from December to March. There exist numerous covered rinks which are well attended by both sexes. Most of them are lighted by electricity ; and the fancy dress carnivals held in them afford a unique and very attractive spectacle. Hockey. — Hockey is played in Canadian cities only as a winter game, and the expertness of Canadian skaters makes a well-con- tested match and extremely graceful and interesting sight. There is much rivalry between the clubs of the diflTerent cities. Snowshoeing. — There is about twenty snowshoe clubs in Montreal. Each clubs has its distinctive uniform of bright- coloured blanket coat and “tuque” (cowl), so that a procession of gnow-shoers tramping across the snow on a clear moonlight night, rousing the echoes with their songs and choruses, is a most attrac- LUBY’S GIVES NEW LIFE TO THE HAIR. — 50 — tive sight, and one not to be witnessed outside of the Dominion of Canada. The art of walking on snowshoes is not quite as easy as it looks, but can be acquired after a little practice. Tobogganing. — Tobogganing is an extremely popular winter amusement in Montreal with all classes, from the small boy who slides down a steep hill on his “bob-sled” to the elite of society who flock behind the mountain to enjoy the slide. A “toboggan” is constructed of thin pieces of board about 18 inches wide, curved upwards at one end and varying in length from 4 to 8 feet, accord- ing to the number of persons it is designed to carry. A long cushion in placed on it for the passengers ; and the frail convey- ance rushes down the snow-covered declivity at the speed of an express train. The steersman, in the rear, directs its course with hands and feet. Curling. — Curling is seen at its fullest perfection in Montreal. All the rinks are in covered buildings ; and as the ice is very care- fully looked after, a nicety of play is attainable that would be a revelation to old-fashioned curlers accustomed to the rough-and- ready style of the open-air game. Montreal has three curling clubs, each with a large membership and a commodious club-house. The rules observed are those of ^he “Royal Caledonian Curling Club.’^ Athletics. — Several athletic clubs of considerable importance have their head-quarters in Montreal and are rapidly increasing in size and influence. They own fine buildings and extend a cor- dial welcome to all visiting athletics. FISH AND GAME. Fishing.— There is very good fishing in the River St. Law- rence, specially in the upper part, in lake St. Louis. The Angler can find there plenty dore, bass and maskinonge. For trout, one would better go in the lakes, in the northern part of the country, about 70 miles from Montreal. Hunting. — Hunting is also very good in the surroundings of Montreal. There is fine duck shooting in lake St. Peter. Deer and moose are to be most particularly found in the northern mountains, at the terminus of the C. P. R. Labelle line for instance. The best thing for a visiting sportman would be to — 51 - apply, for information, to the Fish and Game Club, which is a well organized institution. The following fish and game laws might prove interesting to sportmen : OPEN SEASON— FISH AND GAME.— PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. Caribou— From the 1st of September to the 1st of February.

St. Helen’s Island is partly affected to the military stores. ^ LUBY’S GIVES NEW LIFE TO THE HAIR. — 54 — XV. Clubs and Societies.

The Mount Royal Cemetery (Protestant) is situated on the east side of the Mountain. Further west is the Catholic Cemetery which is one ef the finest in the world. The stations of the ■* Way of the Cross ” are worth seeing. Another very pleasant drive is to Lachine and back. We would advise going by the upper road, which is to be found on the map at the west end of St. James street and returning by the lower Lachine road, skirting the river and affording a good view of the rapids. CARS ; A. favourite point for an electric car (Park and Island Line) drive is the Sault-au-Recollet. All the St. Lawrence street cars connect with the Park and Island cars going north. To go to Cartierville, connect with Park and Island cars from any Amherst car, stopping corner Park avenue and Mount Royal Street. Bout-de-rrie : Any car of the Terminal Street Railway will give you necessary connections. On the way, you will pass through Longue Pointe with its famous Insane Asylum, Pointe- aux-Trembles, the “chapelle de la Reparation,” etc. To shoot the Lachine Rapids go to Lachine by electric cars leaving every half hour or take the G. T. R. train, at Bonaventure station. (See advertisements in daily papers). BOATS : The ferry for St. Helen’s Island leave Victoria pier every half hour. The Longueuil ferry is at the foot of Poupart ..street. The boat plys every half hour. The Laprairie boat, leaves Victoria pier every two or three hours. >£OLIAN VENTILATOR Our ^olian Ventilator having been on the market for many years, is well known without praising it.
