CANADA'S METROPOLIS
AND ONE OF ITS GREAT
SUMMER RESORTS

A

MONGST all the cities on the North American Continent there are few-
fairer or more attractive to the tourist than Montreal, the great
Canadian metropolis. The city is delightfully located on an island in
the St. Lawrence River, just below its confluence with the Ottawa,
and stretches along the bank of that magnificent waterway for five miles
and backwards for more than half that distance, being built on a series of terraces,
the former levels of the river or of an ancient lake, which terminate in Mount
Royal, whose summit and wooded slopes form one of the grandest public pleasure
grounds on the continent.

All the attractions of a summer resort lie in and about Montreal. It is a city
of trees and parks and pleasant drives, in a land of orchards and gardens, with a
great river sweeping along its front. It is a city of marked contrasts, where the
picturesque cjuaintness of a vanished age is mingled with the luxury and culture
and enterprise of modern times ; where the customs and usages of Old France and
Young Canada, characteristic of the old and new eras of civilization, harmoniously
co-exist, and where massive business blocks and costly public buildings and private
residences rise side by side with grey old churches, sombre convents and nunneries
and grand cathedrals whose magnificence 'and splendor rival those of the old
world. It is a modern, metropolitan city — an important seaport, although 600
miles from the Atlantic by the St. Lawrence, with huge ocean greyhounds at its
busy docks — a bustling, thriving commercial and industrial centre, where converge
the principal railways of Canada, chief of which is the Canadian Pacific, which,
stretching across the Continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is the longest
continuous line in the world.

Montreal's summer temperature makes it one of the few cities of the larger
size in which people may live with comfort during the warmer months, and the
heat is not enervating as in more southern latitudes.

MONTREAL

AN HISTORIC SPOT

MONTREAL is among the half-dozen historic cities of North America where
Hngers that subtle charm which only the glamour of an eventful past can bestow.
When Jacques Cartier first visited the island in 1535 he found the palisaded Indian
village of Hochelaga, whose very existence disajipeared from all record, and whose
site was utterly unknown until a few years ago, when it was accidentally re-dis-
covered in the heart of the upper part of the city. The illustrious Champlain, the

.\lL'.>ikfAL KKO.M i\IoL.\T RoVAL

first Governor of Canada, came in 161 1, and established a trading post, which he
named Place Royale, on the site of the present Custom House ; but it was not until
May 18th, 1642, that the city was founded by a band of religious enthusiasts who
planned a town to be known as Ville Marie de Montreal. The leader of the
expedition and the Governor of the colony was the soldier Maisonneuve whose
memory is perpetuated in bronze in one of the historic spots of the city, where he

MONTREAL

gallantly met and vanquished his Indian foe. The old streets of Montreal are
redolent with legends of a turbulent past — of wars with the fierce and wily aborigine,
of French adventure and enterprise — for here dwelt the intrepid La Salle, the Mis-
sissippi exjilorer, Du L'llut, the founder of Duluth, Cadillac, the founder of
Detroit, and Bienville, the founder of New Orleans, and other heroes whose names
are still revered by posterity. Ville Marie was, too, the headquarters of the great
French fur-trading and exploring companies, whose operations throughout the great

From the Towers of Notre-Dame

west extended to the foot-hills of the Rocky Mountains and the far off shores of
Hudson Bay. It remained under the rule of France until 1760, when Vaudreuil
capitulated to General Amherst, and the ancient regime came to an end. Three
years later, by the treaty of Paris, France ceded Canada to Great Britain, and the
French Canadians became British subjects. The town was occupied for a time, in
1775, by the Americans, under General Montgomery, who afterwards was slain in
a gallant but unsuccessful assault upon Quebec, and here in the old Chateau de

MONTREAL

Ramezay, the home of the old Governors, lived Benjamin Franklin and Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, the American commissioners who came to negotiate the
cession of the country to the United States. During the war of 1812-15, Montreal
was thrice threatened by invading United States forces, but fortunately the walls
were not entered by the enemy.

Dominion SguARE, Montreal, from Canadian Paciiic Kv. Station

Since that time the development and progress of the city have been continuous
and rapid, until it now possesses, with its suburbs, a steadily increasing population
of about 350,000, the majority of whom are French Canadians, and boasts of a
wealth ec[ualled by no other city of its size in the world.

MONTREAL'S PARKS AND SQUARES.

THE CITY is adorned by numerous beautiful parks and S(4uares, among them
two that are most picturesque — the Mount Royal Park and St. Helen's Island.
Pleasant drives wind around the mountain, from which the city derives its name,

MONTREAL

and lead to the summit, from which there is a glorious panorama of a rarely-placed
city and the broad valley of the St. Lawrence, through which the gleaming river
flows to the sea. Beyond are the peaks of Beloeil, rising abruptly from the plain,
eastwards of which the Green Mountains of Vermont can be distinguished on a
clear day. To the distant south are the famed Adirondacks, and along the north
run the Laurentians, which claims precedence in antiquity over the rest of the

Parish Church of Notre-Dame, Montreal

earth's mountains. The park is intersected by numerous walks and driveways
through shady ravines and over grassy slo])es, and from the varying heights, garbed
in pines and maples and bedecked with ferns and wild flowers, magnificent views
are obtainal)le. The glories of Mount Royal, which still retains its natural sylvan
beauty are an attraction to every visitor. The ascent to Mount Royal can also
be made by an incline railway. St. [Helen's Island, once a fortified place and

MONTREAL

now a delightfully wooded retreat, is reached in a few minutes by ferry from near
the Place Viger Hotel. Amongst the other interesting spots are Dominion Square,
in the upper part of the city ; ^'ictoria Square, in the central portion, containing a
bronze statue of Queen \'ictoria ; Place d'Armes, a small enclosure surrounded by
noble structures, and the scene of fierce encounters with Indian foes; Champ de Mars,
the early military parade ground of French, English and American armies of occu-
pation ; Jaccjues Cartier Stjuare, facing the river, in which is the historic monument
to Lord Nelson, erected in 1808, near where stood the public pillory of former times;
St. Louis Square and Logan's Park, in the eastern upper part of the city; and Place
Viger, a pretty open square named after the first mayor of Montreal, in the East end.

THE PLACE VIGER HOTEL

FACING this historic and picturesque square is the new Place Viger Hotel,
erected by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company — the latest addition to its chain
of magnificent lujtels which extends from Quebec to X'ancouver, and includes,
amongst others, those charming resorts in the mountains of British Columbia —
Banff, Field and the Great Glacier. This imposing structure occupies an historic
site. The authoress of " Famous Firesides of French Canada " in her description
of this memorable place says :

" Few visitors to the city, as the jialace cars of the Canadian Pacific Railway
carry them into the mammoth station on \'iger Square, realize the historic associa-
tions which cling around this sjiot . In the magnificently equipped dining-room of
the Company's hotel, as delicacies from the most distant parts of the earth are laid
before the traveller, he should call to remembrance the lives of deprivation ami
uncomplaining endurance which have made the ground now crowned by the
beautiful edifice full of the most tragic interest and filled with memories which
will be immortal as long as courage and stout-heartedness are honored.

" Two hundred and fifty years ago the sound of hammer and saw here awoke
the echoes of the forest. Workmen who had learned their craft in old French
towns, when Colbert, the great statesman and financier, was developing the
architecture and industries, revenues and resources of the kingdom, here reared a
windmill, the first industrial building in Montreal. The winds of those autumns
long ago turned the fans and ground the seed of harvests tolsonuly gathered from
cornfields, among whose furrows many a time the arrow and tomahawk spilt the
blood of the reaper and sower. The old mill with its pastoral associates of peace-
ful toil in time passed away, and was succeeded by a structure dedicated to the art

of war, for on the same spot stood 'la Citadelle.' This stronghold, though
primitive in its apiJointments, was important during the French occupation

and evacuation of
New France, being
the last fortitication
held by French troops
on Canadian soil.

" This old earthen
citadel, a relic of
medi;x"val defence,
was about seventy
years ago removed,
its material being
used in the leveling
and enlargement of
the Parade Ground,
or, as it is called, the
'Champ- de- Mars.'
Its demolition might
he regretted were it
not that in an age
of prepress, even
sentiment must give

way before advance. The grand Hotel \ iger, although built to promote the com-
fort of the people of the Dominion, has not destroyed the pathetic interest of the early
struggles and heroism which still clothes its site, and which heightens the present
appreciation of a civilization of which the old mill and fort were the pioneers."

The Place Viger Hotel is built in the quaint style of the P^ench Renaissance,
partaking of the type of the old chateaux found on the banks of the Loire. The
general outline and effect of the five-story building is one of great solidity coml)ined
with gracefulness. It is constructed of grey limestone and Scotch buff fire brick, all
in complete harmony with and emphasizing the beauties of its architectural design,
and crowned by a massive tower rising from a graceful sweep into a great circle, with
its numerous turrets and gables, forms a striking picture. The total length of the
building is 300 feet, with a depth of 66 feet. The main facade has a magnificent
arcade of twenty-one arches, which abuts the two projecting gables, with broad gran-
olithic steps leading up to it from the street, and facing Place Viger, affords a delight-
ful resort for guests in the pleasant hours of a summer evening. Reached directly
from the arcade is the general waiting-room, off which are offices and ladies'

waiting-rooms, and from which it is but a step to the covered railway tracks
of the Canadian Pacific, immediately in the rear. On the right of this main
waiting-room is the hotel department, and all the upper floors are exclusively
devoted to hotel purposes on plans arranged on the most modern ideas. The
ground floor is laid in marble mosaic, the rotunda and waiting-room being
of magnificent proportions, with supporting columns, wainscoting and other
wood finishing of quartered oak, and walls and ceilings laid in gold leaf with

Grand Staircasf, Place Viger Hotei,

chaste decorations. The main staircase of Corona marble is beautifully
finished, and the general effect of the artistic decorations symbolize the national
characterof the structure, being wrought in designs of tasteful coloring. The spacious
dining room is bright, cheerful and handsome, with luxurious appointments ; the
cuisine of that high standard maintained l)y the Canadian Pacific in its unexcelled
service. The magnificent drawing-room and parlors, from which the balcony, a
grand summer promenade stretching almost the entire length of the building, is

MONTREAL

reached, are elaborately and richly furnished, and the sleeping apartments, from
whose windows unobstructed views of the surroundings can be obtained, are large,
well ventilated and elegantly appointed — the rooms being single or en suite as
may be desired. There is accommodation for 350 guests. In the heating, lighting
and sanitary arrangements, which were specially designed for this hotel, the acme
of perfection has been secured, and the entire building, which is modern in every
respect, is as absolutely fire-proof as human ingenuity can devise.

The Place Viger Hotel is advantageously situated for those reaching the city
by train or boat, being a short distance from the principal steamer docks, and

The Ladies' Reception Room, Place Vioer Hotel

combined in its erection is the I'lace ^'iger Station of the Canadian Pacific Railway
(from which all trains leave for and arrive from Quebec and resorts in the Lauren-
tians and certain trains for and from Ottawa), and although located amidst quiet
and restful surroundings, is only a few minutes' walk from the business portion of
the city, and convenient to the city's street car system.

The rates are from $3.00 to $5.00 per day, with special arrangements for
large parties or those making a ]irolonged stay.

MONTREAL 13

OTHER PLACES OF INTEREST

AMONGST the many places of attraction to the tourist are the Cathedral of
St. James, an almost exact reproduction on a reduced scale of St. Peter's at Rome ;
the old parish church of Notre Dame, one of the largest edifices in America, which
seats 15,000 people, and its big bell, " le gross Bourdon," one of the largest in the
world ; the Jesuits' Church and Notre Dame des Lourdes, famous for their magnificent
frescoes ; the curious old church of Our Lady of Bonsecours, dating from i67S,with
its " Little Heaven " in the upper portion ; the Chateau de Ramesay, once the home
of the Governors of Canada, which contains a splendid collection of historical relics —
the "Elgin Gallery," with rare historical portraits, the "Court Room " hung with
battle scenes of the British Empire, the "Council Chamber, " where Montcalm
and other great rulers sat in state, the old vaults in one of which Franklin's press
was set up, etc. ; at Bonsecours market, facing the harbor, a glimpse is given of the
primitive life of the habitant, especially interesting in the forenoon of market days
— Tuesdays and Fridays. The visitor will also be interested in a visit to McGill
University, founded in 1S28, one of the foremost educational institutions of the
world — a magnificently located group of buildings, which include the arts, medical,
Macdonald engineering, chemistry and mining, physics, Redpath museum, university
library and observatory — with a yearly attendance of over 1,000 students; Laval
University, the chief French seat of learning, occupying amongst that nationality
the same position as McGill amongst the E-nglish ; the Royal Victoria, General
and Hotel Dieu hospitals ; the Art Association building with its rare collection
of paintings ; the Natural History Association's museum, containing a famous
collection of Egyptian antiquities ; Christ Church Cathedral, a perfect specimen of
Gothic architecture, or any of the numerous edifices of other denominations ; the
Board of Trade, City Hall, Court House, Post Offtce, Bank of Montreal, New York
Life, Canada Life, Windsor Street Station of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Armory
and drill halls and a score or more of convents and other educational institutions ;
while a drive along Sherbrooke and other fashionable streets will reveal the
opulent homes of Montreal's wealthy citizens.

At the club grounds of the lacrosse, baseball, cricket, golf and other athletic
organizations the visitor is often enabled during the summer months to witness
championship games played, for the city is a great sporting centre, and its athletes
have gained more than a continental reputation for their adeptness and skill in the
various games ; and bicyclists find in the city and suburbs and throughout the entire
island good roads, whose condition permits of the fullest enjoyment of the pleasures
of wheeling. Montreal possesses a complete electric street car service, by which
nearly every part of the city can be expeditiously reached, and its cab system is
noted both for its efficiency and cheapness.

MONTREAL

MONTREAL'S MAGNIFICENT ENVIRONMENTS

THERE is no other large city in America, where a quarter or a half hour's
journey will traverse so many scenes of varied natural beauty or places of historic
interest, or a few hours' railway trip will take one to more picturesque solitudes

ofmountain, lake and stream.
The famous Lachine Ra-
pids are at the city's doors,
and to run them is a pleasant
experience which few visitors
to the city miss ; Caughna-
waga, an Indian village
where dwell the remnant of
a once powerful tribe, is
worth a visit ; and near by
are Lake St. Louis, on which
liave taken place some of
America's greatest aquatic
contests, and the Lake of
Two Mountains, where the
opportunities for yachting
and boating are u nsurpassed.
At the foot of this lakeisSte.
Anne de Bellevue, where Tom Moore was inspired, by the wealth of its beauty, to
write the immortal ' 'Canadian Boat Song. " The Laurentian Mountains to the north
are penetrated by the Canadian Pacific in a virgin region of countless lakes and
streams which are claimed to be the best trout fishing waters in Canada. Both
banks of the Ottawa River are paralleled by the Canadian Pacific to the city of
Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion — the line on the western or Ontario bank lead-
ing past Caledonia Springs, a noted health resort, the fame of whose waters attracts
visitors from all parts of America, and that on the eastern or Quebec side jiast
towns near which large and small game is abundant and fishing waters plentiful.
Another branch runs through the Eastern Townships with their rich farms and
pleasant lakes and rugged tree-clad hills — ideal'resting places during the heated term;
and from Montreal one has means of communication with all parts of America.

Within shorter distance — and reached bystreet car — are equally interesting spots
— Sault au Recollet, where there is an immense convent at which are educated many
American children ; the typical French-Canadian villages of Cartierville; St. Laurent,
Cote des Neiges, Pointe au Tremble, Longue Pointe, near the latter being located
a large asylum for the insane, and the pleasure resorts of Bout de ITsle, etc.

A BIT OF

MEDIAEVAL EUROPE

IN

AMERICAN SETTING

FEW, if any, places in America rival the ancient city of Quebec in its attractive-
ness. 'The quaint old-walled place is the most interesting spot historically
on this western continent, and combined with this feature is a ]iicturesque
location, perhaps unequalled in the world. Quebec is like a transplanted
city — a French town of olden times set down in American surroundings, in which
the chief characteristics of mediceval Europe and modern America are deftly and
delightfully interwoven — and around it are clustered a host of legendary memories.
Perched on a high promontory at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and the
St. Charles Rivers, its situation is unique and magnificent. On the highest point
is the famed citadel, which has given to this city the name of the "American
Gibraltar," and everywhere around are battlements, fortresses, castles, monasteries,
convents and feudal gates and towering walls. As one puts foot on the historic
soil of this matchless "Mecca" of tourists, the ancient and foreign aspect of the
city, so wholly at variance with the rest of the continent is impressive. " The
quaint, picturesque figures of the inhabitants," says one writer, "their alien speech,
their primitive vehicles of locomotion, their antique French houses, huddled
together and poised up high on the edge of the cliff, the unrivalled citadel and
menacing fortifications, the narrow, crooked streets, and winding, steep ascent to
the Upper Town, recalls some old world capital — a survival of medii^val times."

All about this ancient stronghold — first of the French, then of the English —
every spot has been the scene of stirring events. Here it was that the early
discoverers of the northern part of America first landed, and where European
civilization was first nianted. Here lived those illustrious and chivalrous adven-

QUEBEC

turers, whose exploits shed lustre on Old France, and from here at one time the
whole country from the great lakes to the Mexican (kilf was governed. Here the
French made their last fight for empire in this western world on the Plains of
Abraham, where Wolfe and Montcalm heroically fell. But for over a century
peace has prevailed, and while still redolent of the martial and religious flavor with
which it was characterized from its very berth, Quebec has gradually evolved
itself from a military stronghold into a bustling commercial centre and an ideal
resort for pleasure and health seekers. King Carnival here frequently holds

undisputed sway during the winter months, when the whole city becomes a
northern New Orleans, and in summer it is a charming rendezvous, its latitude and
altitude giving a delightful climate entirely free from the heat and discomfort
usually experienced in less favorably situated places.

But interesting and beautiful as Quebec may be with its (juaint buildings and
historical treasures, the drives and excursions about the city are no less attractive.
Amongst them are those to the Falls of Montmorency, 100 feet higher than those of
Niagara, and the Chaudiere Falls, second only to the great cataract ; Ste. Anne

QUEBEC

de Beaupre, for two centuries and a half the Mecca of thousands of devout
]5ilgrims seeking restoration of health at the sacred slirine, where a magnificent
edifice, raised to the dignity of a BasiHca by Pope Pius IX., has been erected,
and which is reached by a short railway trip ; Beauport bombarded by Wolfe in

1759; Lorette, an Indian village,
where the remnant of the once
powerful tribe of Hurons is lo-
cated ; Levis across the St. Law-
rence, where there are large mili-
tary forts and engineers' camps ;
and many picturesque villages
which dot the landscape and
where the curious primitive cus-
toms of the early French settlers
still prevail.

To meet the requirements of
the annually increasing volume of
tourist travel, there was recently
erected at the base of the citadel
a magnificent fire-proof hotel, the
Chateau Frontenac, a stately seven-
story structure, erected after the
style of the French chateaux of
the sixteenth century, but of
course embracing nineteenth cen-
tury ideas of spaciousness, con-
venience and elegance. Over one million
judiciously spent dollars have given the

L.TT..E Chamflain Street, Qlebix ^'o>1'1 this marvel of architecture. Crown-
ing the cliff, on which the famed Dufferin
Terrace stretches its great length — the longest promenade known — hundreds of
feet above tlie St. Lawrence and the Lower Town, the perspective of the city,
stream and landsca]3e seen from the windows of this unique hotel is magnificent
— a scene of both historic fame and majestic grandeur — a view of mountain,
valley, river and island, from an elevation such as no other city boasts. The
Chateau itself impresses the beholder as so fitting in its adaptiveness to the
picturesque surroundings of having always been part and parcel of the granite
cliff. In its interior the predominating medireval design is carried out in elaborate
detail, and its fluted columns and dainty panels are specimens of exquisite

OTTAWA 19

delineation and artistic workmanship, and the apartments throughout are
luxurious.

Quebec is best reached via Montreal. Tourists from New York reach Montreal
by the New York Central, and those from the New England States by the Boston
& Maine and the C. P. R., and it is four-and-a-half hours' run from Montreal to
Quebec by the Canadian Pacific Railway, through the old French settlements
along the north bank of the St. Lawrence, or steamer can betaken down the St.
Lawrence and the return trip made by rail.

THE CAPITAL CITY
OF CANADA.

OTTAWA, the capital of Canada, is so easily reached from Montreal that few
visiting that commercial centre fail to run up to the seat of Government to view
its beauties and the magnificent scenery around what a former Governor-General
called "that fair city with its crown of towers." The city's site for grandeur is
second only to that of Quebec, being located on the Ottawa River, the third
greatest stream in volume in all Canada, where the Rideau and Gatineau join.

Ottawa, it is claimed, is the most picturesque capital in the world,
and in many ways it is striving to be the Washington of the North. The
waters of the Ottawa, which are here set between the provinces of Ontario
and Quebec, pour over the Chaudiere Falls — resembling in shape the rim of a
huge cauldron or kettle; and the Rideau Falls, half a mile distant, where the
Rideau's flood leaps into the Ottawa, are so called from their likeness to a curtain
—"rideau." This waterfall also gives name to the vice-regal residence of the
Governors-General of Canada, from which it is only a stone's throw distant. Across
the Ottawa, opposite Rideau Hall, is the mouth of the Gatineau, along which, before
its confluence with the larger stream, are numerous picturesque rapids. Its great

20

OTTAWA

a

21

water power has long since made Ottawa the chief lumber and milling centre of
the Dominion, and in its immense saw mills and other industries are attractions to
the tourist, while to ride down the timber slides by which the square timber of the
upper Ottawa passes uninjured down to the navigable waters below, is an exciting
experience which many visitors enjoy.

It is the national buildings, however, whichare the chief glory of Ottawa, and
the principal object of interest to strangers. They stand out boldly on Parliament
Hill, a steep promontory, rising loo feet or more from the Ottawa River, in all the
beauty of seemingly varied architecture. The octagonal library in the rear of the
Houses of Parliament — much like the chapter house of a cathedral — is one of the
most complete in the world, and contains about 200,000 volumes, some of which
are exceedingly rare books. These buildings, with the Eastern and Western
Departmental Blocks which tlank the square fronting the main structure, were
erected at a cost of about $5,000,000.

Other objects of interest are theRideau Canal, Iniilt in 1827 for military inirposes,
Rockcliffe and Major Hill Parks, the city buildings, the great Roman Catholic
Cathedral, the Geological Museum, the Fisheries Exhibit, the National Art Gallery
in the Supreme Court Building, and the Central Experimental Farm in the suburl)S.

Opposite Ottawa is the French city of Hull, and combined they have a
population of 75,000.

Ottawa is reached from Montreal by the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose
tracks parallel both banks of the Ottawa River and by steamer in summer, the
railway run being two and a half hours, by Fast Short Line Express.
