ITINERARY OF A SUMMER OUTING. A Summer outing that requires only from two to three weeks, which embodies a change of scene, and people and includes a good breath of Nova Scotian sea air, the entrance to which is at hand to those living in lake cities, is certainly enticing. But when the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence river and a side trip up and down the "river of death," the Saguenay, is included, with several days in the land of Evangeline, the idea of it becomes irrcsist-able even if the latter does lengthen the time a few days. Space will not permit of more than a mere outline of the routes. The Northern Steamship Company's North West or North Land, the D. & C. S. N. Co's steamers and the C. & B. Line can be used to get from most lake cities to Buffalo, whence you go to Niagara Falls and on to Lewiston, where one of the fast Niagara Navigation Company's steamers almost flies down the Niagras' swift current and across Lake Ontario to Toronto. Here you put yourself in care of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company for a half a thousand miles of water journey, through the Thousand islands in the early morning, and beginning at noon to shoot the famous St. Lawrence rapids, each one of which grows more boisterous, until the last, the Lachine, is passed. 1 f you have time drive around Mount Royal at Montreal, but the R. & O. line steamer, larger and finer than the ones limited to canal size which you have just left, is waiting to take you to Quebec, while you eat your supper (call for a double order of Saguenay trout) and sleep. You may think you will stay in Quebec only a day, but it is like a story that you can't put away till it is finished. When you get through go to the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway offices and buy a ticket to Chicoutimi, which you will be able to pronounce after several davs conversation with calache drivers. You will have stop-over privileges at Roberval, where the hotel Roberval will surprise you with its appointment and menu. From Roberval a side trip can be made to the Grande Discharge and some specimens of the "ounaniche," the freshwater salmon, captured. Chicoutimi is only a few hours from Roberval and there you take the R. & O. steamer for the trip down the far famed Saguenay. Views herewith show Capes Trinity and Eternity and the mountainous cliffs which compose its banks. A day is required to descend and cross the St. Lawrence to Riviere du Loup. There you leave the steamer and take the International Railway- for Halifax, Cape Breton and Prince Edward islands, and numerous other places of interest which abound in this sea-washed land, indented with bays that are filled and emptied by the tides. You need not return the same way you went. Leave St. John N. B. by the Canadian — _ — Pacific Railway, (which you can use in going if you have but little time) and go to Montreal. From here you can go to Toronto direct and thence to Detroit, all by the C. P. R., which takes you through some delightful scenery.
