complete the lour the sifjht see 1 ml excursion wn a two hour tup from the chateau frontenac which we uirn ed from john oof driver contained over 700 rooms tts site was once occupied by the chsteiu st lous ottttial resideiue of early fieuh gov rinou the hotrl was opened just inrfore christ mas 11 itwj and has had four w mqs addevl iiit in wo thr original pari ol the hotel was torn pletcly rebuilt we lea r fed that many famous people had been visitors at this hotel and in 1 43 at the ouelec conference 100 political and military leaders of the world held sessions here for 18 days seems that quebec city has the history of the centuries packed into every corner many of our render are of course familiar with these bus tours of cities on your right and on your left you will see etc often there are stretches where the driver has little to point out put john had to talk constantly to keep abreast of what was to lx seen from tle bus windows there was the residence of martin boutct the piofessor who taught louis joliet the discoverer cf the mississippi the anrjlican cathedral dedi cated m 1804 built on the spot of the chapel of the ret ol lets the first anglican cathodral ever i mlt outside the british isles monuments to louts torbtrt champlam cardinal tashereau etc nd monuments to those who fell in the first ana jotond world wars the post off ics too hae monuments in front and the golden dog with its legencl there are the colleoes seminaries f me hospitals then slodenly i tee the grand battery and the old runs whnh were never used but are still mount ed on the c v walls many old houses hae been erevted here over too ears and then quebec laibour pops nto view with its gram elevators ol eor bve million bushel capjiit tin re s quebec s oldest house the sous le dp the horfest and narrowest street an here or was it on the comment six feet wide at one enci and right at trie other and ending at n sheer end ol the rock cliff the old market place is pomted out whore the indians came to trade and then the docks of the ferries and ner loats perhaps while travelling the narrow streets the bus will inch its way along some time the sde mirror swung on its hinged mount ing as it struck a post and many times pedes trians walked close to buildings 10 give clear ance this is old quebec the story as john told it last tuesday and we suppose most every day was enthralling wevfl been on tours in many cities but nevet one with the contrast of old and new the his torical interest that went into the trip about quebec the bus stops and there is time for a visit to notre damedesvictoircs quebecs old est church built in 1688 and then you are told as you come into the square that on this spot champlam landed in 1608 and everyinch is historical battleground of canada no doubt the plains of abraham are cana da s greatest historical spot since it was here that the fighting of a few minutes decided whether canada wl to betome a british or a french colony these historic

vader was fully reahed and lator eended to make sure that none passed to conquer tfiere are still some of the martillo towers left with their walls of eigfil fool masonry and their historic importance is improved by pointing out that the towers were connected by under mound passages which in ihose days must have meant many years of toil without the aid of modern c ivating nfachmes iie bus trip covers 1 great d al of interest hut how we would have liked to have had time for more minute exploration if such wire per missable in confidence and conclusion back at the end of the town we asked john our driver where we could get a copy of ins travelogue or have something to keep us straight in anything we might want to confirm he said it was all in a guide book that could be secured in any book store for fifty cents so we secured a copy later we learnid that a whole tour book was available to ajj guests at ihe hotel for the asking matter of fact the tour was given with all the tufns and directions for motorists and in both the fnglish arid frencw languages we niado other little visits walking for in stance there is the little french restaurant where the french pastries are a delight in eye and taste appeal we haven t however acquired a great cesire for the candy we purchased and feel a bit sorry for the tourist couple we noted with half a doen boxes to take home to the united stales we trust we have not weaned our readers with our rambles and observations of a very hur ried visit to otd quebec city the good old days may have seemed better backjn1900 ukn frca ik ban t ik fr
