SUPPLEMENT TO THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, MARCH 28, 1914.-xi CANADA THE PICTURESQUE: BELLEVILLE; OTTAWA; THE MUSKOKA LAKES. PHOTOGRAPHS BY TOPLBY, WALIJS, BTC. The city of Belleville, as we note elsewhere in this Supplement, is the county town of the Hastings district of Ontario ; and it is claimed for it that it provides ample opportunity for those seeking fortunes in the New World. It is situated at the junction of the River Moira with the Bay of Quinte. Ottawa, it seems unnecessary to state, is the capital of the Dominion of Canada, the seat of the Supreme Court, and the residence of the Governor-General. The Muskoka Lakes Region is in the Highlands of Ontario. The numerous lakes are connected by streams navigated by pleasure-steamers, and the district is a very popular resort for anglers. With regard to the fourth illustration on this page, the residence shown is that of Mr. John Elliott, Manager of the Standard Bank of Canada, Belleville, and President of the Belleville Board of Trade.
