Il DELIGHTFUL TRIP.

| mer Outing.
The writer has Just returned from a
| vacation trip made in America that
was so full Of interest and so varied IN
| character that a few lines regarding II
may not be out Of place.
| Leaving New York July 14th at p.
m. on the handsomely appointed steam
er "Horatio Hail." of the Maine Steam
| ship Co., the cool night sail through
Long Island and Vineyard Sounds was
q delight after the intense heat OF the
day.
Skirting the shores of Massachusetts
and out on the broad Atlantic, the day
sail to Portland was an invigorating
one.
Portland, with its many houses shin
gled and shangled," as Mark Twain
says, reminds one of Nantucket, and
the long trolley ride to Casco Bay and
the trip around the three hundred and
sixty-five islands, made up a day of
pleasure.
From Portland to "Crawford's,"
through the famous "Notch," was
ride long to be remembered, and the
view from Mount Willard completed it.
From "Fabyan's" up to the summit
of Mount Washington in thunder
storm was unique experience.
Two nights were spent at the Summit
House waiting for the clouds to roll
by" but they did roll the second day,
and 1.-The best view for three weeks"
was obtained, ending with a gorgeous
sunset.
To one who has seen the view from
Pixies Peak, the White Mountains seem
almost insignificant, but there is such
difference in the views that the longer
one remains on Mount Washington the
more the real beauty of the scene be-
comes apparent.
1t was a charming half day ride from
Fabyans to Quebec, commencing with
the mountains and ending with the
beautiful Chaudieu valley.
Continuing on down the broad St.
Lawrence, UP the grand, silent Sague-
nay river to Chicontimi, was trip
which has few equals, for the change
in scenery as well as in temperature,
and the transition from civilization to
the wilderness, was SO rapid as to be
hardly realized.
With the fine new ocean steamers
now sailing from Montreal, it seems as
if more people than ever would choose
this as route to Europe, especially in
summer, for the three days sail on the
st. Lawrence is an added pleasure
which shortens the ocean voyage.
Quaint, curious old Quebec, whose
countless charms have been sung in
song and story for centuries, far ex-
ceeds ones fondest expectations. for
from the modern and magnificently To-
Gated Chateau Frontenac" to the little,
old cannon captured at Bunker's Hill"
every spot has its historical signifi-
canoe.
The pilgrimage to St. Anne de Beau
pre-, past the beautiful Montmorency
Falls, is full of interest, for the little
farms along the way, still occupied as
in feudal days, the almost general for
eign language one hears, gives you the
that you are abroad instead
Of being less than two days from New
York.
To Montreal is pleasant night ride
by steamer from Quebec, and in this
busting, thriving city. with its many
fine churches, public buildings, etc, an
agreeable stay may be made. especial |

sor." The view from Mount Royal, in
our humble opinion, is not equal in gen.
eral comprehensiveness to that from
East Rock. ,.e
The trip to Ottawa from Montreal
was an enjoyable one, for the river
scenery is very pretty, and the view
If and from the Parliament buildings Is /
simply magnificent, but the scene of the |
great fire at Hull was pathetic.
Returning frob Ottawa. you go down

is exciting as pictured. Leaving Mon
real for Toronto, the steamers are

he rise is eighty-six feet, the sensation
# looking down on the surrounding
is something like canal ride
n Holland. At Prescott a change is
made to the large new steamer "Toron-
o. which is revelation in its general
Equipment. The daylight tour through
he Thousand Islands was all too short,
nd the pleasant trip across the lake to
Charlotte ended a trip of over two
thousand miles, which was thoroughly
njoyed, but which strengthened the
that there is no place like
