Motor ,,Trip ,.. to Montreal Rev. T. E. Sawyer, of Londesboras Lives a Description of the Good Roads Travelled 011. We are pleased to give the following brief account of a twelve hundred mile ' motor trip which we made in July, to Montreal and return. The party con- sisted of Rev. W., E. Millson and wife of London and Rev, T. E, and Mrs. Sawy- er of Londesboro. We used a Ford tout=,. ;lig car now running its third season and it stood the test well. It is a thing to be desired to know your own country fairly well and a mot or trip affords a splendid opportunity to see both the city and country. And of ter our visit to the eastern part of On- tario we have a greatly Increased pride: in the fine agricultural land of the West. ern part of the province. Since there is such an aroused inter- est in the good roads policy of the - government and because we were so in- timately and deeply concerned about the roads as travellers we paid. close- attention loseattention to what we saw and felt. The roads from London via Woodstock and Paris to Hamilton is abominable, the Worst long stretch that we had to• travel over, The Highway from Mon - treat to 'Toronto relieved us of all an- xiety except the fear f a summons. •i'he scenic beauties of the route were very fine and 'added much to the pleas- ure of the trip, The road from Toronto to Kingston is very good and in many places, there were evidences of good work being done. The road froth King sten to Montreal tuns along the bank of the St. Lawrence River v.iVch is always in sight and the ever changing scenery was a Constant delight. A great deal of work is being done 1'51 unix roadway is being widened, many farnicrs were; m,v ing their fences back the roadbed is also being broadened the. grads ars being cut down and cro4ced and rough' places straightened and levelled many new wide culverts are being 1.1 in :and fine new bridges are being buiii, :..,ny miles will be completed this year but it is safe to say that in two years this. will be as fine a provincial highway and scenic route as We can boast of and any one taking the trip will not be disap- pointed. One of the strange things is that there is no bridge over tate Ottawa river to the island of Montreal as a Western entrance to the l'.anadian Metropolis. The Province of Quebec has certainly been careless and shortsighted in policy in this respect. The only means afforded for crossing was by a scow ferry propelled by a motor launch alongside, This has to be done twice and the day we crossed fifty cars had been ferried ave,'. While speaking of roads we night say that on leaving Mon • treal we crossed 'Victoria Bridge and took the splendid King Edward high- way to the. American border at Rouse's Point at the stead of lake Champlain and travelled over the state road, thro ugh Malone and Potsdain, a part of the Million dollar highway to Ogdensburg on the St. Laurence. This part has been built six years and is in splendid con clition. It is built of asphalt and is a good demonstration of its quality. In the neighborhood of Prescott we passed the little blue church famous in the annals of Methodist history and in the cemetery there we gazed upon the Monument erected to the memory of Barbara Beck. Later we noticed the historic spot of Chryslers Fant and on our return jounrney through Prince Edward County we drove through Ado! phustown where the first Methodist 1 in Ontario was built, While at eh Pont' Hope we visited Rice Lake and. found our way to the little cemetery where a splendid monument has recent-' ly been erected' to the memory of Jos- eph Scrlven, Author of "What a Friend we have in Jesus." We found much pleasure by having our meals in picnic style in pleasant places along the way. WILL TRY AND FIX BASE BALL PARK for Next Year's Sport Stratford Beacon. -Mr, R.
