ABUNDANT GAME.
No other part of the continent is on
par with Canada in the variety and
plenty of sport obtainable with little
time, expense and pleasant trouble,
ana 1t so happens that the best game
districts of the Dominion are in the
immediate vicinity of. or at no great
distance from, the Canadian Pacific. for
II passes through the heart of the Carl
pou and deer country the greater part
OF the way between the Atlantic and
Paclhc and conveys it's passengers to
the field of their operations in comfort
and luxury. There is a new object les
son in geology and botany to be studied
even through the car windows each day
and much ethnology as well. In ius-
tlce, l must say, the Canadian Pacific
IS a road with which none of the great
tfans-continental railroads can COM
pare. 1t is thoroughly laid, smooth, and
hnely ballasted; the bridges are erect
ed with great strength and the depots
are built with taste. The Canadian
Pacific trains are cosmopolitan. They
nave tourist cars and colonists' cars.
In the former are noted travellers from
nome and abroad. In the latter, scores of
different countries are represented, One
sees dozen different national types
and hears as many different dialects.
This is composite world on wheels,
as its inhabitants for the time being
hail from all quarters of the globe.
COMFORT OF TRAVEL.
We cannot speak too extravagantly
OF the luxurious sleeping cars of the
Canadian Pacific. In the Canadian
sleeper so much luxury prevails that
1t is hard to think that any good thing
can be lacking. 1t is a luxury whether
one dimes, sleeps, bathes, smokes, or
reads, as if in hotel, all the while
Deholding II he choose the panorama
OF the country through which he is
passing.
The Canadian sleepers are unlike the
Pullman sleepers; they are usually
larger with wider aisles and far more
luxurious. They have soft rich cush-
ions, silken curtains. thick carpets,
delicate carvings, and beautiful deco
ratlons; and with their numberless and
ingenious appliances for convenience
and comfort, even to bath rooms, bar
Der shops, etc, that the travelling pub
lie expect, 1 doubt if they have their
equal in the world.
The Canadian Pacific owns and runs
these thoroughly appointed palace cars,
while the sleeping and dining cars in
the United States mainly belong to the
Pullman company, and are operated
independently of the roads using them
BY the Canadian Pacific everything is
done for comfort and good service that
admirable organization, care and
courtesy can do to tighten the burden
of a weeks journey across the con-
tinent. BY an ingenious device, the
whole train is united under one con-
tinuous roof, so that, in place of de-
tached cars with exposed platforms,
there is in reality, an elongated suite
of elegantly furnished apartments
comprising all the comforts of the
most luxuriously appointed hotels. The
passenger can pass from his bed room
