The Windsor, of Montreal, is certainly head and shoulders better than any other Canadian hotel As values in Canada are estimated generally lower than in the United States, so are the Windsor's prices. It is said to compare with the Windsor and other frst-class hotels in New York. must say do not admit it, although perfectly satisfied by experience that it is No. and good enough. hope to see the next winter carnival.

No+,. noT, church seats 10, GOO people. Victoria bridge, Montreal college, Victoria Square and monu- ment are not among the least of the central attractions of the city. The Grey nunnery, the Church of the Jesuits, and many other in- stitutions are very interesting.
 Since arriving in Montreal, ,as others do, so have we done, ridden over and over again and once again and again. One thousand six hundred landaulettes are said to be at the disposal of the public st seventy-fve cents an hour; or twenty cents mile. 1 have no reason to doubt the statement as they are everywhere and all strangers drive first to the mountain Royal. From the mountain, which is the Park Royal of hundreds of acres, the panoramic view is delightful. One is greatly reminded of the New Haven East Rock Park and it's views-in fact the situation may be said to be similar; the one overhanging Long Island Sound, the other the majestic St. Lawrence. The summit of the Park here is much higher, but on the whole the similarity is at once perceptible Extending the drive around the mountain as in New Haven the grounds are similar in feature and the drive is most interesting throughout. We pass into the Protestant cemetery, beau tified by elaborate and costly memorials erected by wealthy survivors of the French and English residents, thence into the Catholic grounds of hundreds of acres, well filled With monuments of wealthy Catholics, and various Catholic institutions with which Montreal Is so specially endowed. Mention being made of cemetery locations we have brought to mind the prospective early need of location for another new cemetery for New Haven, 8 need which we see is talked of, and ceme- tery if laid out in conj junction with East Rock Park would add greatly to the attrac- tiveness of the park and of New Haven's near environs. This as one among other localities should not be overlooked in the final decision.
 I see that one of your most esteemed city clergymen, Rev. Burdett Hart, some time since in a sermon delivered at his church called to mind the need of Fair Haven hay ing new cemetery, and designated beauti ful spot for the city of the dead on the sunny slopes of the hills above the village-a spot of similar attractiveness. The cemeteries al Montreal are specially attractive, moreover by reason of their containing the dust ot many notables.
 The "Guibard" burial place, about whicl so much disturbance was created few years since, is to all appearances field fast bound down by huge granites beyond the power O the bishops to remove, even if cursed be the ground by them. The Catholic representa- tions of the different stations of the cross
 nearly twenty in number, strike the eye; alst the burial places of part of th' family of ''Joe Beef, !" who still keeps a sa l loon and never drinks himself, who employed the bands of music to play 'sThe Girl
 Left Behind Me" on the way to the funeral O
 lia first wife, and two days after married her dearest friend and sister Mary. A ''tip' l to the driver of your vehicle will give yor all the information dasirad On the p-ay re turning the Catholic properties will b l pointed out, which is simply incredible as t l it's immense real estate value. All thi | drive for two dollars for one, two or thre persons in a landaulette.
