THURSDAY, JULY 6, '05 Outing of the Canadian Press Association. Visit to Quebec. Montreal, Ottawa and other points of Interest. When, in the early part of May, it was announced that the Canadian Press Association would make Quehec. Montreal and Ottawa the objective points of this year's o'Iting it was in- deed hailed with delight by those of the association who could avail them- selves of the privilege afforded them. The realization of anticipation was not in the least marred or detracted from and the trip throughout was one of unalloyed pleasure and profit. The outing was arranged at the in- vitation of the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. while the President, A. McNee, of Windsor; Secretary, J. R. Bone, of Toronto. and Assistant Secretary, A. E. Bradwin, of Blyth, superintended the arrange- ments. There were upwards of sixty people in attendance, including C. B. Foster, District Passenger Agent C.P. R., Toronto; H. F. Chaffee. Western Pass. Agent R. & 0.. Toronto; W. T. Robson. Adv. Agent, C.P.R., Mont- real, and W. B. Howard, Chief Clerk C.P.R., St. John, N. B. The writer was among the number who took advantage of the opportun- ity, taking the train at Exeter Friday morning for Toronto. Unfortunately on arriving in the Queen City, our train was about an hour late, and as a consequence on reaching the R. & O. docks the boat :had :pulled out. This, however, did not deprive us of our trip, and procur- ing transportation via Grand Trunk left at 10:30 that night for Kingston. joining the party the next morning at five o'clock. We were greeted most heartily by our brethern of the Press and it was then we began to feel at home. The tine new and well equipped boat. City of Toronto, steamed out of King- ston harbor at six o'clock in the morn- ing, under conditions rnost favorable, the air being balmy and tempered with an undulating breeze made the voyage perfect. We were not long sailing before we reached the far-famed Thousand Islands and the magnificent scenery on all sides was a dream of delight to the uninitiated. Short stops were made at Clayton, N. Y.; Thous- and Island Park, N. 1.; Alexandria Bay, N. Y.; Brockville, Ont., and other points. Arriving at Prescott 10 a. tn., we all transferred to the river boat, prepara- tory to shooting the rapids, which in- clude the Long Sault. Coteau. Cedar, Split Rock, Cascade and the famous Lachine. The latter of these are the most interesting and are likewise the most dangerous. The turbulent waters form a seething mass and dash with great fury against the boat as she speeds along. Quick and short turas are made here and there to avoid col- lision with the rocks and at tunes it makes one feel as though the boat will be capsized and all on board dashed into the treacherous billows. Hut all is safe and soon we are again sailing in smooth waters. At Montreal another change of boats is made and we here hoard the magnificent steamer "Montreal," which has just been put on the route this year. She is a model of luxury and elegance and is not outdone by any of the ocean liners, affording all the accommodation that the most fastidious could desire. The night is spent on the Montreal and at 7 a. m. Sunday we land in Quebec. Here busses are in waiting and the party are conveyed to the Chateau Frontenac, a stately seven storey structure, built after the style of the French Cbateaux of the sixteenth century. but embracing twentieth century ideas of spaciousness, conven- ience and elegance. Over a million dollars was expended in its construc- tion.

A scene of historic fame and majestic grandeur. Soon we are at bonne iu the quaint old city which affords witch interest in its historical associations and toe magnificence of its surrounding scenery. In a sketch like this it will be !lupus - bible to do more than glance at a few of the more prominent features which strike the tourist with admiration and and inspire him with emotions of pleasure. The first thing that impresses the visitor to the ancient capital, especial- ly if he comes there by way of the St. Ltwience,is its commanding situation; the next the strength of fortifications. As he passes from the bastion to the bastion and looks upon the river so far below, where the British ships lay at anchor in the summer of 1759. he cannot but be amazed at the military genius of the elan who succeeded in taking such a seeming impregnable fortress; and that, too, in spite' of an army as brave as his own and com- manded by a general no less gallant than himself. Perchance he gives at sigh to the memory of Wolfe and Monte/dm. To the present generation Quebec remains a monument, a somewhat pathetic monument of the days of the old regime. No oue endowed with any sensibility to the tragedy of human life, who realizes that suffer- ing trust attend every step upward to a higher level than before, who knows that sacrifice is an essential con- dition of progress, but trust feel a sort of sadness as he gazes upon the few remaining memorials of the past life of the old city. In the past few years many a change has taken place in Quebec, but ars a rule each change has been an improve- ment upon what had been before. Thus the modern English architec- ture, and even the modern French architecture, as seen in numerous fine private residences, present both in ex- ternal appearance and internal ar- rangeuient a remarkable contrast to the old dwellings that are still to he seen; while many of thecivic buildings of past days have been replaced by structures which would do credit to a city ten times the population. The Legislative buildings would be orna- ment to more than one European cap- ital. The picturesque "Chateau" is a a fine example of French architecture. As for churches everyone knows that Quebec possesses some of the finest on the continent. Perhaps the most spacious and beautiful of the Catholic churches in the city are the majestic Basilica, the imposing St. Patrick's. and the beautiful St. John's while the most attractive and commodious of the Protestant churches are the state- ly Anglican cathedral and the ornate St. Matthew's. Here and there in the old capital the stranger finds himself on a street so narrow and irregular and having such marks of time, that one would say it trust have been laid out ages ago. On this side and on that he sees houses of such strange construction, such point- ed gables, such steep roofs and such old looking windows that they take hint back to the time when the city was founded. Only a few miles from the city we came to the Falls of Montmorency, a beautiful cataract with its milk white waters gracefully falling down the precipice one hundred feet greater than the Falls of Niagara. We roam the delightful park close by the falls and here we catch delightful glimpses of the wonderous river. "Kent Hous©' here was once the residence of the late Quern Victoria's father, the Royal Duke of Kent. The stately old man- sion is preset ved in its original condi- tion, except that modern sanitation and lighting have been installed. A short distance from the falls brings us in view of the wonderful "natural steps" and as one examines the curious formation he is once more reminded of the past; for here the French and British forces lay encamped opposite each other separated by the river. a short time before the successful as - milt was made on the city.
