Last Wednes¬ day, we spent Hie day in Toronto, Canada, leaving here at 7:Iii in the morning and reluming al alxiut 10:J0 al night. We wenl by trolley to I'ort Dalhousle, where we took the steamer "Dalliousle City'' across Lake On¬ tario, a sail of about two and one lialf hours. II was very foggy on Hie lake, conseiiuenlly Hie boat did not go as fast as usual. On arriving In Toronlo, we were met by a large siglil-seelng car. wliich look us for alKiiit an hour and a half's ride over Hie cily, slopping at all the places of interest. One of the most interest¬ ing features of this trip was Hie ride through Rosedale. known as Hie wealtliy part of Toronlo. I'p unlll a few years ago, this part of the city was all in farm lands and conld be Ixniglil for .W.iKi per acre. Now it is all built np with eleganl Iiomes. no two. alike, and is owned principally by millionaires and miilt-millioiialres. We liad diiiiierat the Walker House, one of the large hotels of Toronto. We intended taking Hie two o'clock boat back to Niagara liut owing to Hie fact thai we arrived just in lime to see it pull out, we spent the remainder of Hie afternoon tak¬ ing in son e of the large stores, re¬ turning by Hie '"i:.'!" Imat. Toronto is a heauliful city of about .¦Mii.iKnipopu- latioii situated on Toronto Hay. II Is especially noled for Ils many churches, liaving about loii In all. Hond street alone, having about 5(i. The Hospital was another very inler¬ esling pluce, covering a lloor space of tive blocks, and employing ISiKi people. There were many more things of in¬ terest bill lime and space forliids.
Yesterday we spent over on Goal Island, wilicil gives one a grand view of the Kails from all sides. Two of the party took Hie trip, in under tlie -American Kails, wlilcli was a grand sight. Tixlay we visiled the Hydraulic I'ower (dmpanyof Niagara (American side) wlilcli is run by the Niagara river, and controlls the ligliting of Hie city, and the illiiiiiina- tlon of Hie Kails, al.so most of the large industries of .Niagara. This is a wonderful plant, having a capacily mechanical li. p., iriil.iHlii; developing mechanical Ii. p. bdl.lXKI, has a wall 570 feet liigli and 14 feet thick: was eigiit years In uonslrucllon and iias now iieen in u.se three years. We will go over Into Canada tiris afler¬ noon and visit Niagara from lliat side. Tlie I'pper Steel Arch bridge wlilch crosses the river al this point is 124(1 feet long, 47 feet wide and ISHi leel liigli. tlie lengtli of the arch being iKHi feet. This will be aliout the limit of our stay here as we leave for home In a day or two. stopping over a day In buffalo.
This lias been a most enjoyable trip for all of our party, and trust Hiat these letters have Ijeen of In¬ terest to any who may have read them. Sincerely
