 CUintei? Souvenir of IDontreal. 
 
 M ONTREAL, the commercial metropolis of Canada, standing on the banks of the 
 mighty St. Lawrence River, can be compared very favourably to the world-famed 
 Winter resorts of Norway and Switzerland, and on the whole of the American continent it 
 is unrivalled by any other city in the facilities afforded for the enjoyment of out-door life during 
 the Winter months. The atmosphere, pure, clear and exhilarating, with an usually cloudless 
 blue sky overhead, makes young and old alike keen to take advantage of the amusements so 
 plentifully offered. Ski-ing, skating, snowshoeing, tobogganing, and sleighing, to mention but a 
 few of the sports, all bring forth their admirers, and exert their magnetic influence on tourist and 
 native alike. 
 
 The view from Mount Royal is indeed one of interest and beauty. 1 he St. Lawrence, alive 
 with shipping in the summer, now a silent but majestic field of ice, lies at our feet, and all around 
 the Frost King has laid his silent but enchanting hand, while, below us, the mountain is alive 
 with sleighs, toboggans, snowshoers, etc., the merry laughter telling its own tale of the light¬ 
 hearted enjoyment of the partakers in the various recreations. 
 
 The illustrations in this book will give a good idea of the interest taken in the W inter 
 Sports by performers and spectators alike, and of the very picturesque side of Montreal W inter Liie.
