Being in Toronto last week we took a trip to the "Rainbow city‘" which name is applied to the Buffalo show as "White city" was to that of Chicago, beca se a yery successful attempt has been made to give relief to eye and brain by yariety of coloring in the buildings, bridges, etc. Those who haye business in Toronto, or do not care to go by rail direct, should take the lake and river trip to Queenston or Lewiston, and thence by trolley car through and among hisrorc and romantic scenes to Buffalo, not the least of course being "the Falls". The great, Panâ€"American Epo sition has nominally been open for two months, but is only now beginning to arrest the attention of the masses of tourists and pleasure seekers. It got a boom on Monday last, Dominion Day. by the presence of 500 of the 48th Highâ€" landers, who were there as a kind of escort to Dr. Borden, Minister of Milita and other functionariee who were formally opening the Canadian pavilion. On Thursday next, July 4, the nationâ€" ional effervescence of patriotism will give it another boom, and the holiday months of July and August will no duubt see a trend of travel, Buffaloâ€" wards. Once in Buffalo, all roads lead to Delaware Park,. and with the help of little maps, procurable almost any where, one can trace their way through the city on the car lines, which give a triple transfer. Admission to grounds is 50c¢, Board and lodging hitnerto has keen high, but not excessive, though with flenter attendance, a long purse will ikely be needed. Inside the gates, we experienced a feeling of disappointment: I the persistent efforts to sell you someâ€" thing. the unfinished work here and there, the rough execution of the statuary, â€" make a disagreeble â€"first . impression which it takes a good deal to wear away. â€"It does wear away holw ever, as you view from the tower (15c.) the many â€"variâ€"colored buildings, of graceful shapes that gratify the eye, or listen, seated (10cts,.) to the enchanting strains of Sousa‘s band led by himself, More than all it wears away as you view the great offerings of the soil from all climates, and when you find that Canada takes a leading place among them all. The exhibit of Ontatrio fruit and@ Manitoba grains especially, should open the eyes of those who think only of Canada as a frozen strip to the north of the United States, The Stars and Stripes we confess makes a nice design for a flag, but our heart warmed with an unwonted glow when our eye caught sight of the solitay Union Jack flutâ€" tering on the Canadian building among thousands of the others,arouud. Why ’ wern‘t there more of them? And why not baye a portrait of the King and Queen? and abundance of reprosentative views of the Domimion, statiscecs, etc., in and on Canada‘s spot? The rooms are most invitingly clean and comfortâ€" able, and could be thoroughly enjoyed in a hot day did not time demand that tired legs and feet on the asphalt walk must be forgotten in the chance to *""see things" in a too brief yisit. Of course if you are tired 'yqu can have i comfortable wheeled chair and attendant behind to push and answer questions ($1.00 an hour\, | 11 there are ‘two of you‘ ride side by side or get a double one. If you want more style get into a "Jinricksha," under a gandy â€" umbrella and a little swarthy Japanese will get between the shafts and pull you around while you wonder what the meaning â€"might be of "Fair Japan" printed on his back! If you want picturesqueness in a boatman choose a gondola and glide over the muddy water in the diteâ€"â€"lagoons. In addition to Sousa‘s band there was another sent by President Diaz of Mexico which discoursed sweet music with style and fiavor differing from these we commonly hear but decidedly }I)vleasimz, though inferior to Sousa‘s. he bands of course yvary from we?k 10 week, excepting alwny;x the bands of the sideshows in the Midway which go on for ever we presume when the gates are open. ‘ This is running out too long however, and if we dont forget it all we shall give some notes on other features next week, closing this by quoting two of the man‘{ striking legends which adorn the buiidings, and whose thoughtful and dignified tone are in strange and pleasâ€" ing contrast to the mammon and the mummery near by. We took time to take down a few of them: " Here by the great waters of the north are brought together the people of the two Americas, in exposition of their resources, industries products, inventions. arts and ideas." Another on the Stadium says: _« Who shuns the dust and sweat of i the contest, on his brow falls not the cool shade of the oliye." I whink this is one of the most inviting fields for the lover of history to be found anywhere in Ontâ€" ario, on account of its being among the principal battle fieids of the war of 181214 and a few words about it at the present time when so many are taking boliday travels may be of some interest. _ If it should be the means of leading anyone towards the historic spot, the writer can promise them they will not be disappointed. NOTES OF A TRIP T0 THE PANâ€"AM. Editor Durham Review, Sir : T8E RANBON C ThE NAAA RONR meeals P C :g gég“ A_.’"v,‘-.'i‘ B EW 4 Sm Along the banks of the riyer for quite a long distance aboye the old whart are the great earth walls of old Fort George which cover a large tract of land. Walking along the top of these ridges the pointed defences are easily traced ftrom the Bastion to the half moon Battery where the guns were mounted that swegfi up the river. Besides the ruined old forts and the“ grass coyered parapets, all that is left now are the two powder azines and a stone inside the Basz:rfmark. ing the spot in the. rampart where General Brock was buriecEa from the time he was killed till 1826, Although thousands pass these ruined forts every ‘ year they do not 1ealize the tales they tell : take for instance the burning of the town of Newark on that cold December night in 1813, the tblowing up of the guos anda magazines and barâ€" racks by the Americans. Again St. Mark‘s church has been an important feature in the war. After the town, then Called Newark, but atterwards changed to Niagara and now called Niagara onâ€"theâ€"lake was captured by Yankees, it was used as a Barracks and a store house for the invaders and the stones in the graveâ€"yard show the marks of the butchers axes yet, where they cut their meat. The church was afterward used as a military hospital tor the wounded British. It does not look much the worse of wear although it is about a century old. . The old rifle pits can be seen in the graveâ€" yard near to the old site although time is wearing them down. Commencing at the mouth of thel great Niagara river, we have Fort ; Mississauga looking innocent and| peacetul enough although it has a warâ€" | like appearance when closely inspectâ€" | ed. _ ‘There are the great thick walls, the loop holes in the sides, the earthl covered magazines and the brick tunâ€" nels all go to show a warlike spirit of byâ€"gone days, but it was built too late in the struggle of 1812â€"14 to be used in that war and happily has not been | needed since and indeed would now be little or no use in modern warfare. l Out on the military reserve is a stone marking the spot of the military hospiâ€" tal and Indian Council. â€" This reserve consists of several hundred acres and is used for camps of military instrueâ€" tion every year. Queenston Heights is another place of interest. â€" Here is the battle field where General Brock and his aide Lt. Col. McDonell were killed. They are now buried in the vault under the large monument which overlooks the great battle field on which those two heroes fell. _A short distance from the village is a point of land on the river reaching out into the water on which earth works were thrown up and one gun battery mounted a 24 pdr. This single battery commanded Lewiston and Queenston. Only a short time ago the wooden flooring and sills that formed the platform for the gun carriage were removed and are kept as relies. at least they were a short time ago. Anâ€" other important place is the route the Americans took to capture the Heights and arother where a good many of them went over the bark in their preâ€" cipitate rush to escape the bayonets of the Canadians roused to revengeful madness by the death of their beloved general. Trenches of the dead may be seen among the second growth timber with an odd rough stone to mark a grave. All these battle grounds are viewed every year by hundreds of historical pilgrims, the writer haying travelled them all several times in search of relies and other information. I have photoâ€" graphed all the principal points of inâ€" terest, including the battle fieids of Queenston showing the cenotaph where (General Brock fell, with his monument on the heights, Fort Mississauga, the the old powder magazine in Fort Géeorge and the balt moon battery and several others. Having taken up a large space in your paper I will not trespass any longer. Yours, &e., R. TorrRry, Lieut. No. 4 Comp., J Sist, Regt, One of the last though not least of these bright June weddings was hapâ€" pily consummated at the residence of Jas. Hooper, north line, Egremont, on Tuesday evening the 25, ult. The contracting parties were Miss Mable, youngest daughter of the above mentioned to Mr. Wm. Lawrence third son of the gentleman of the same name, well known to many as hayâ€" ing filled various positions of trust, in the gift of the township. _ At the time appointed the happy couple, together with their supporters Miss Maggie Hooper, cousin and Abraham Herbert Houper, brother to the bride, took their places under the spreading canâ€" L 0. hudit stbairdndaiiantenl wl ie & E7 opy of the graceful shade trees in and surrounding the §paclou_s'l‘aWn in front of the house. Meanwhile the regal and inspiring strains of the wedding march emanating trom the organ withâ€" in, under the skillful touch of Miss °A. Renwick, of Dromore, ushered them on their new journey of life in a manâ€" ver highly pleasing and harmoniously blending with the peaceful and happy twitter of the birds in the bra‘nchei _of the adjoining trees, the sun the while shining brilliantly all Fresaging a happy journey through lite. Rev. Mr. Varley, of Priceville was the officiating clergyman, who left no doubt in the minds of those present, as to the efficiency of the ceremony as perâ€" formed by him, there being no omisâ€" sions. For our own part we like to have all the trimmings to avoid any JUNE WEDUNE w o# e THE DURHAM REVIEW We are not using ‘a set phrase, but we mean it when we say that the bride looked beautiful in a dress of steel blue cashmere trimmedwith white gilk, chiffon and ribbon,. the folds gracefally caught up and held by rhinestone buckles. _ The bridesmaid was becomingly attired in a dress of the same material and each carried a lovely bouquet of white roses, which contrasted finely with the coy and sweet crimson blushes, which diffused the cheeks of the bride and her assisâ€" sant. It is not customary we know to say anything of the young men particiâ€" pauts in the ceremony, but we thought the rosettes of roses attachell to each was quite symbolical of the health, strength and manly yigor of them both. To attempt to give a list of the presents bestowed, with the names of the donors it out of the question, as mistakes might arise when there are so many. Here will be found a partial list of them : in addition to articles not usualâ€" ly mentioned a perforated arm chair and a set of bedroom furniture by Mr. James Hooper, an upholstered rocking chair and large bible, by Mrs Hooper and a fancy centre table by the father and mother of the groom are worthy of special mention. . Among the rest we saw a fancy table spread, 3 table cloths, chenille table spread, 3 prs. lace curtains 3 white bed spreads, 4 prs. towels, 3 counter spreads, pitcher, toilet set, knives and forks, 4 doz. tea spoons, 2 egg djshgs, 4 doz. table napkins, butter knife.' stereopticon views, 2 sait, pepper and mustard sets, Chromo and frame, set table napkins, 2 tea crystal sets, sewâ€" ing rocking chair, 2 china parlor lamps, 1 glass lamp, cheese dish, silâ€" ver cake tray, nickle tea pot, mousâ€". tache cup and saucer, 2 fancy cups and saucers, side board cover, butter knife, water pitcher, silyer butter dish, views of Niagara Falls, 2 fancy cake plates, album, combined paper rack, oil painting and trame, flower bowl, gilt water pitcher, server and 4 doz. silver spoons, sugar shell, 2 fancy porphyry tea pots, pr. curtain poles and attachments, china cap and saucer, silver cake dish, carving knite, fork and steel, berry bowl and server, berry spoon, pic knife and cold meat fork, hat rack, porridge set, pr. vases, spring mattress, fancy cash box, stt table knives spoons, L4 doz. table doilies. After a samptuous repast a pleasant and sociable evening was spent in songs, duetts and choruses. The Rev. Mr. Varley, Miss Jean Renwick and Miss Mary Scott of Dromore. being among the number who took a part. We ourselves endeavored to uphold the martial spirit with some touches of love as we used to know it, thrown in. Among those present from a disâ€" tance in addition to those already mentioned we noticed, Robbie and Miss Mary Taylor of Dromore, Mr. and Miss Lawrence, Durham and the Missâ€" es Lawrence Glenelg. A pleasant evening was brought to a close on the approach of twilight. the good will shown by all is a testiâ€" mony of the good will and esteem in which the bride is held.
