QUEBEC, P. O., Sept. "a. !,
Seldom if ever at this quaint and qIeef
ancient old city has the Autumn season
been such one as this. Really at thu
time it fairly is in way to rival its gen.
orally far more successful neighbor OF
the summer. But this year, people who
travel in this direction seem to be very
late in coming and equally SO in getting
away, and the Autumn season during
the months of September and October

the sights TO be seen in and about this
old city on cliff TheY all are having
nice time, and SO many American. are
here that really 1t seems az IT the
Yankees were bent on raid into lCa3a-

storm, for seemingly our transient Pepu,

that of the city Itself. Bat the .preseaee

from the way those fair 0fes are trading
with the shop keepers the Qaebecsans
will hope to be taken this, way every,
year. Shopping seems the order with
the ladies, sBd goods may here be bought.
