Canadian Pacific Route 
STARTING FROM LONDON 
r ROM Euston Square or St. Pancras Station the passenger leaves 
London for Liverpool or Waterloo. Station for Southampton for his 
trip around the world by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company’s 
globe-circling routes. At Liverpool or Southampton he embarks on one 
or other of a selected number of the finest transatlantic steamers afloat, 
and is landed at Montreal, Quebec, St. John, N.B., Halifax, Boston or 
New York, according to the vessel he has chosen. And so marked have 
been the improvements in the great passenger lines, both in speed and 
safety, as well as in convenience and luxury, so zealous have been the 
efforts to make the short voyage a veritable pleasure trip for the ever- 
increasing number of people who are no longer content to limit their 
travels to Europe and the fringe of the Mediterranean, that the passage 
across the Atlantic, once a drawback to extended travel, has now become 
one of the inducements. During the greater part of the year it is 
tantamount to enjoying the seaside in the society of a party of friends 
who, bent on enjoying themselves, contribute to the enjoyment of others. 
Pleasant acquaintanceship, and sometimes valuable and life-long friend- 
ships, are made during a voyage which is generally admitted to have been 
spent with unexpected pleasure. 
Should the traveller choose one of the Canadian liners bringing him 
direct from Liverpool to Montreal or Quebec, among which for comfort 
and safety the ships of the C.P.R.’s own Atlantic line are in the fore- 
front, he will find the passage ©f the St. Lawrence not the least attrac- 
tive and interesting portion of his route. During the last two days of 
his Atlantic journey he will be within sight of land on both sides of his 
ship, i>assing scenes of historical interest, made memorable by Jacques 
Cartier, Champlain, and other early French adventurers who discovered 
Canada and penetrated its wilderness, and passing scenery which, of its 
kind, is unequalled by that of any other sea-going route in the world 
until the vessel stops at Quebec, where a stay of a few hours is made. ’ 
QUEBEC 
The tourist, however, may disembark here and spend such time as he 
pleases in visiting the Plains of Abraham, the scene of Wolfe’s last vic- 
tory, which changed the nationality of Canada ; the beautiful falls of 
Montmorency, which are reached after a short railway run through a 
pretty and distinctly French-Canadian settlement, and in inspecting the 
ancient and unique city of Quebec, so unlike any other on the North 
American Continent, with its semi-military, semi-ecclesiastical appear- 
ance, and its mementos of the early wars between the French and Eng- 
lish, and subsequently between the Canadians and their neighbors of the 
New England States. If he desires to remain over for a day or iwo, 
he will find the Canadian Pacific hotel, Chateau Frontenac, in the centre 
the upper town, commanding a perfect view of the St. Lawrence and 
neighboring country, one of the finest hotels on the continent. He can 
then take the train, and in a few hours is in Montreal. Should New 
York be his landing-place, he will proceed to Montreal by train, which 
can be varied in summer season by boat up the beautiful Hudson River 
for a considerable portion of the way, or he may go by Niagara Falls, 
joining the Canadian Pacific’s transcontinental train at North Bay from 
Toronto. 
MONTREAL 
At Montreal the trayeller will hardly fail to stay foo- a short time, 
finding comfortable quarters in the elegant new fire-proof hotel which is 
combined with the Place Viger passenger station of the Canadian Pacific 
Railway Co., and convenient to the ocean steamer docks. Montreal is 
the chief commercial city of the Dominion of Canada, and has much to 
Interest a stranger. Its beautiful position at the foot of Mount Royal, its 
handsome residences nestling among maples, bright and busy tree-lined 
streets, and the grand prospect which it enjoys overlooking the broad 
St. Lawrence, with the Laurentian Hills, oldest of the world’s mountains, 
c osing the view in the distance, always evokes the admiration of those who 
■come from the less favored places. Its mountain park is an adjunct such 
M other city on the continent. The evidences of- 
Montreal's wealth and commercial activity, as seen in the shipping and! 
business quarters, the double nationality of its people, and the growing' 
amportanoe of the city as a mercantile centre, invest Montreal with more 
than a passing interest.

Canadian Pacific Route 
CROSSING THE CONTINENT 
At Montreal the Canadian Pacific Railway’s transcontinental route 
to Vancouver may, in one sense, be said to begin, and for four days 
unless he desires to stop by the way, the tourist will find a comfortable 
home in one of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company’s luxurious car- 
riages, which, constructed on a somewhat different model from the older 
plans, are now recognized as being the most comfortable of all ears— by 
day a drawing-room, by night a comfortable bed-room, with smoking- 
room attached. Dining cars are run on all transcontinental trains. 
Three hours’ journey takes him to Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion. 
It is remarkable for its beautiful Parliament Buildings, library and de- 
partmental edifices. Situated on a hill, it commands a view of the 
Ottawa River and the romantic Ohaudiere Falls, so intimately connected 
with the French and Indian wars of the seventeenth century, and now 
tlie power which runs the great sawmills that make Ottawa the chief 
lumbering centre of the world. 
From Ottawa westward the route lies through country rich in timber 
and in game, but as yet only sparsely settled. Lake Nipissing, formerly a 
highway to the great lakes for the Montreal voyageurs to the west, is 
touched at North Bay (where passengers from Toronto join the trans- 
continental train), and on the second day out Lake Superior is reached. 
Passing within sight, for much of the time, of the clear waters and 
picturesque islands of this greatest of fresh-water seas, the passenger is 
carried through and over valleys of engineering work which of them- 
selves explain the prophecy — ^happily falsified — which predicted that a 
railway neither would nor could be built through such a country,, until 
he reaches Fort William, on the Keministiquia. The transcontinental 
train may be left at Sudbury, celebrated for its rich nickel mines, and 
passing through Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota (chief cities, St. Paul 
and Minneapolis) and North Dakota in the United States, via the Soo- 
Paciflc line, be rejoined at Moose Jaw in the Canadian Northwest. 
THUNDER BAY AND FORT WILLIAM 
The charms of Thunder Bay and the frequent discovery of minerals 
in this district, together with the enormous grain shipments from the 
prairies, combine to make Fort William a place of great and growing 
importance. Passengers from the East frequently . make part of the 
journey via Toronto and the Great Lakes. The Railway Company has 
a line of handsome Clyde-built steamers, which run in summer from 
Owen Sound to Fort William, where connection is made with the trans- 
continental trains. This break in the railway journey is a pleasant and 
a very popular route. Leaving Fort William, the line proceeds through 
wild and rugged country, w'hich nevertheless has attracted some settle- 
ment and is drawing more, and is not without its value to sportsmen. 
When the train crosses the Red River into the city o-f Winnipeg an 
entirely new kind of country begins. 
WINNIPEG 
The tourist is now on the edge of the world’s great wheatfields of the 
future, which even in iheir infancy have for several years raised a large 
surplus of the finest wheat, besides other grain. The traveller will prob- 
ably stop over for a short time at Winnipeg and inspect the city, which 
a few years ago was merely a hamlet of Indian traders gathered around 
a Hudson’s Bay Company’s post, but now has a population of about 
50,000, and is destined to become the most important city of Western 
Canada. It is an important railway centre, from which the C. P. R. 
branch lines radiate in all directions. In the proper season he will, if 
a sportsman, be able to secure such prairie grouse and wildfowl shooting 
as is difficult to obtain elsewhere, and if really desirous to take advantage 
of this opportunity he will find many other sportsmen of the place willing 
to instruct him as to the methods and places. He will find at the offices 
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, or of the Dominion Government, officials 
who will be glad to give him trustworthy information concerning the 
farming and ranching lands of Western Canada.
