Brief Sketch of " Th e Queen City of the West " Information for the Traveller and Pleasure Seeker
'iNj'OTI CJ~G Toronto from the decks of any of the steamers that come into its harbor, .!!.'\1 travellers or holiday seekers are very unfavorably impressed with its appearance. At first sig-ht nothing but ba re , low-lying stre tches of la nd meet the view, but as the boat approaches the no 1·th e rn shore of the lake, and rounds the western point o f the Is la nd Toronto's natura l b1·eakwater-a nd e nte rs the bay bearing the c ity 's na me , the ,view of the city is imposi ng , and it s fo r,~st of s pires a nd ma ny factory shafts g ive eviden ce of a prosperou s and nume rous communit y. The s ite of the city was orig ina, lly very ma rs hy, a nd in conse quence it wa s of old known as " Muddy York," t he latter be ing its sometin1es na me. • The history of the town is compa rative ly uninte resting until the years 18 12- 1s, whe n t)1e place was sacked and pa rtia lly d estroyed by the A me ri can forces. Time, however, obliterates o ld scars, and the Toronto of to-day shows no s ig n o f tha t early confli c t. What t he 'centu1·y did for our neighbors it has in no ina ppreciable way done for us; a nd both people have reasons to be thankful for the blessings of the new c ivilizatio n it has been the irs so auspic ious ly to found and adva nce . When our town was inc01·porated in 1834, the na me of York was d ropped a nd Sir John Colborne, who was at the head of affairs in this country, a lte red its style back to th e old Indian name, the meaning a nd d e riva tion of which is a little obscure, some being o f the

The only house in Canada dealing exclusively in high-class Antique Furniture. Visitors wi ll fi nd the largest, most interesting and best selected collection on the Continent. A co rdial inv itation is extended and will repay a visit. B. M. & T. JENKINS opinion that the word comes from the Mohawk Dr-on-do, "trees in the water''; others that it is an India n name signifying "place of meeting." At the first election of the city vV. Lyon Macke nzie was elected a s its first mayor. H e was foremost in the Rebellion of 1836-37• which was the cause of g reat trouble and de pression but afterwards proved a grea l blessin g, for by it Toronto had years of great commercial pros perity, and now ra nks high as the second commercial c ity in the Dominion. As before stale d, the imme diate points of the c ity lie somewhat low, yet there is a grand ascent and the lines of Tom Moore, "Whe re the blue hills of old T oronto shed Their evening shadows o'er Ontario's be d," may have ha d a more true application in former days tha n some c ritics of the present seem to approve. The land, a mile from the lake, is 108 feet a bove the water's level, and two mi les furthe r on it is some 250 feet; four or fiv e miles north the city seems to be at one's feet. Nine lines of railroa d, as follows, now have terminal stations in the C it y : The Grand Trunk Railway operating the East and \ ;vest divisions, the Southern Midland and Northe rn divis ions; th e Canadian Pacific Railway operating the Toronto, Grey a nd Bruce, the Cre dit Valley and the Onta rio a nd Quebec divis ions; and the Canadian Northe rn Ontario ope rating its own line from Sudbury to Toronto. During the season of naviga tion stea mers run to a nd from all points ; a nd numerous schooners make Toronto th e ir port of e ntry and exit. In the City of Toronto there a re at present about 6o,ooo public and private buildings, and the popul8tion is placed at 35o,ooo. The City of Toronto has a dva ntages over most c iti es and municipa lities, owning large tracts of freehold properly in the best business centres, fo r which it receives a la rge annual re ve nue from leaseholde rs. The yearly civic income a nd expenditure is over $3,soo,ooo as an average. The ass es~e d val ue of the property this year ( 1908) is $206,2 16,834-

ST. ANDREw's CHURCH. Upon the south side, a short distance farthe1· on, stands St. Andrew's Church, which is, externally, one of the finest specimens of Norman architecture on the continent. Its entire effect is very striking. GOVERNMENT HOUSE. The residence of Lioeut.-Governor Gibson is opposite the church, a nd is designed in the modern French style of architecture. Red b1·ick is the material used in the walls, relieved with Ohio cut-stone dressings. The main building is three storeys in height above the basement; the upper storey is partially in the roof, which is constructed on the Mansard principle; the sloping sides are very steep, covered with Melbourne slate, and relieved by handsome segmental domes, lighting the third storey apartments. The ridge is finished with moulded sides, and the deck is laid with the same material. Towards Simcoe Street the frontage is about eighty-eight feet, and in the centre it ,·ises to a tower seventy feet high, finished with a handsome wrought iron railing. The roof of the tower is of the same de,;cription as that of the main building, but starts from the balu strade, finished at the corners with panelled pedestals and carved vases. cc fifty IT» (ill fi If y IDOaiiDOai~IQJIDOaiiDOaiiDOal Milk and Cream cc @ miD [p) (ill ffil y.
