Our first trip down the magnificent Hudson River was in Juiy 1876. We visited this famous waterway on JulY 2% 1902, spending the day with four other Canadians who were enchanted with iti. unrlvalied scenic beauties, on the twe splendid boats of the Hudson River Day Line runuing between New York City and the Citv of Albany, theState capital. It is claimed with a considerable degree0f truth that no othe r river on this continent compares with the Hudson for pleasure seeking touriste. We canunot concede that it surpasses far the majestic St. Lawrence, but each. has its distinct attractivenes and peculiar scoute beautjes. Both are noble, waterways and offer equal inducement to the traveller to enjoy the variety of eeinery, rugged and romantie mountain heights, and pastoral landscape views that meet, the eye as the steamers glide over the sparkling waters cf these un- rivalled streamns. Our choice of a day for the Hudson trip wva moat fortunate. being in every .pense an ideal day for such a pleasure outing. As our jovous Canadîian coterie sailed up the Hudson that cnarming day we tbought it would be almnoat impos- sible for the eyes of a sumamer tourist to gaze upon fairer scenes than, like an immense panoramna, passed before ont delighted vision as we journeyed by the palatial, Swift and comfortable steamer 4'Albany," (Dapt. Geo A. White) froin '22nd Street Pier to Poughkeepsie, 75 miles, at almost race horse speed. On board were some 1,500 passengers, the. boat can carry in conifort 2,500, and every person without exception was apparentlv of the more respectable and well-to-do class. N'o uncouth behavior of any kind was to be seen The tickets for this days trip of 150 miles are sold at $1.50, so that the price bars the rowdyr class that frequent'the low rate hoate, pl.ying between the eity ani the popular resorts. A lunch room furnishes suLb- stantial lunches for a- quarter, but a table 'dote dinner costs a dollar, the menu including the luxuries of the, season and the best the markets afford, Changing Ouir course at Poughkeoepole we bade reluctant faroweil of the, Albany and embarked for the home- ward journey on the equaly gand fioating Dalace the "'NewY ork,"( ap A. H. Harcourt). The officers of botia steamers are chiefly young collegians who spend the suïnmer vacation on the water. Notable features of both boats are the superb orchestras and oit pain,.ings and -statuarr by masters o! the fine arts. In thQ grand saloon cf the '*Albany'" han'gs Saintin's coebrated painting"o .Evangdijne" which. was greatly admlled by Longfellow, the autbor ef "Evano-eline, " and which. received Severargo1d medals when exbibited ini Europe. The orchestras are composed of first-class musicians and the com- positions of the masters are rendered with truc delicacy and precisiou. The mnemories o! war are not alone the treasure of the Hudson, the men who have made that country great in literature, the fine arts, commerce and inanufacturers have also left enduring marks on1 Hudson's banks. Near Tary- :onmay be scen Sunnyside, the mansion -idf Washington Irving, who peopled the Hudson territory with. creatùres of his imagiation whioh have gladdened aIl loyers of his works. Who, does flot kçnow Rip Van Winkle, Ichabod C~ranethe fair and goodly proportioned Dutch Blelle, Katrina Van Tassel, the arudite and veraeious historian Knicker- bocker, aud others with whom Jrving- peopled ail the hbis and dates-o! the Hudson. In Sleepy flollow Cemetery, perceptible from the Day Lino, thae gentle Washington Irving is sleeping is last sleep among the rural senes which he loved so well. Canadians also find uiany other points of special interest. At Tarrytown the home o! Cyrus W.i Field, who carried througb the Atlantie cable under obstacles that would have discouraged a man of ligliter stufi, may be-seen embowered in trees which lie imported from eleven countries. At other places, alonig the river are the ancient homes of General Richard Montgomery, Aaron 3urr, Alexander Hamilton and the Livingstones, wbo iu every generation acted for the gooa of their country. Not a mile of the river but bias interest for the lover of history, from General Grant's mausoleum, wlthin the boundfl of New York City, to Albany, crowned with the most magnificent State Capitol n the Union. We returned to New York in time for 7 o'clock dinner 'with appetites sharpened by the lnvigorating breewes which faned our checks both ways owing to the great speed of the steamers. Our r-caders should neyer miss an opportunity to participute in the pleasure of a trip on the famous Hludson River.
