my opinion is one of the grandest
hotels I was ever in; they do not
mind making high rates, but the
service they give their guests is well
worth paying for. They make their
guests feel at home and nothing
is left un-done for their pleasure
and convenience.
Doris was not very tired inasmuch
as she had slept quite a bit on our
trip, but DR.. Smith and I were COM
pletely worn out and after having
supper we retired. On Friday morn
ing we were up bright and early ard
after having breakfast we obtained
our reservations to Buffalo, N. ",
and then visited the water front and
various large department stores. AT
D O'Clock one of the most wonder
full parades that I have ever seen was
staged in Cleveland, the parade being
in honor of tile 125 anniversary
of the founding Of Cleveland, Every
event from the landing of the pill
grims 1875 years ago up to the pres
ent day was represented in the par
ade. 1t required over two hours for
the parade to pass any given point.
The Pilgrims the first Ford automo:-,
bile, and the air-plane were all in the
parade. After the parade we return
ed to the hotel, had supper, packed
the boat bound for Buffalo NJ Y.
our suit cases and then went aboard.
We had passage on the "Sea and
cant boat on inland waters. We left
Cleveland promptly at nine o'clock
and in one hours time we were COM
pletely lost in the waters of Lake
Erie. We retired and had a most en-
joyable sleep, the cool breezes being
wonderful, and when we awoke the
boat had stopped to permit a small
tug to take it into the harbor at Buff
falo. We landed at IA. M. had
breakfast and then caught an inter-
urban car for Niagara, a distance OF
about 20 miles from Buffalo. We
arrived at Niagara about 9 o'clock,
walked down through the park to
view the Falls. We were told that the
early morning was the best time to
get the rainbow effects of the Ameri-
can Fall, and this was clearly visible
on our arrival. 1t was hard, at first,
to believe it was natures work. Every
american who can do so, should see
this great spectacle before visiting
any foreign land, and no traveller
from another country should leave
America until this wonder of Nature
has been added to his store of per-
sonal experiences. We then went
around to the. elevator which carries
YOU down to the foot of the falls.
1.-THE elevator is modern and oper-
ated by the New York State Govern
ment which replaced the old inclined
railway. The elevator descends in a
few minutes to the foot of the Falls,
lust below Prospect Point. The fare
is five cents each way. The grandeur
and sublimity of the cataract is bet
ter appreciated from the foot of the
Falls than from any other point. The
Elevator also reaches the American
dock of the "Mald of the mist"
"trip, which seems like an adventure
into the unreal; those powerful little
boats that plow their way through
the powerful current almost to the
very foot of the Majestic Falls. Start
ing from the landing at the foot of
Prospect Point, these staunch little
craft ride W.. - in security, afford
ling passengers an unexcelled view of
both the Horseshoe and American
Falls. For this trip they charge rs
cents, which includes the loan Of a
rubber suit. On our return trip from
the. Falls we landed on the Canadian
side and visited Victoria Park and
then returned to Niagara where we
had lunch. We then boarded n of
the Bedtime cars for the famous
Gorge trips which consumes about
two hours time; we were carried to
the American approach of. the great
steel arch bridge spanning the Mag
ara river a few hundred feet below
the Falls, and over this remarkable
structure to Canada. As the car
move slowly over the bridge n of
tbe erandest and most perfect views
