14 MARINE REVIEW. Summer Outings. - Within a few days the Niagara Navigation Company will add its new steamer to the fleet of fast steamers running between Lewiston and Toronto. The regularity and number of trips make it as conven- ient as a ferry. Any one yisiting Niagara Falls should not fail to run down to Lewiston on the Gorge road and take a ride to Toronto and return on these steamers, the service of which is not surpassed on the lakes. Tourists certainly owe a debt of gratitude to the Quebec & Lake St. John Railway for opening up at an expense of $6,000,000, such a wild stretch of scenery along its line of 190 miles. Anglers haye built club houses along the road, and eastern capitalists and foreigners patronize it freely. It is used a great deal by parties taking the Sag- _ uenay trip, going up by rail and descending by steamer, which avoids the unpleasant feature of traversing the same route ace A large hotel at Roberval and one at Grand Discharge on Lake St. John are headquarters for ouananiche angling. Write the company at Quebec for a panoramic guide. Three of the very handsome steamers that traverse Lake Cham- plain and Lake George have paddle wheels, and those wheels in the Vermont and Horicon are propelled by some interesting engines, built by Fletcher & Harrison, now the W. & A. Fletcher Co., in 1871 and 1875. The service on the two lakes with its railroad connections is very complete, and forms an important link in the summer tourist travel of the East. A great deal of the Adirondack travel goes that way, and all the important summer hotels on either one of these his- torical lakes are landing places. Particulars may be had by address- ing the Champlain Transportation Company, Burlington, Vt. Trade Notes. A. H. Cummings, president of the Mason City, Iowa, board of education, writes the Buffalo Forge Co., that their heating and venti- lating system gives satisfaction and is more economical than hot water air.
