This area of beauty includes a park at Fort Erie, Queen Victoria Park at Niagara Falls, Lundy's Lane' Cemetery, which marks one of the. famous battles of 1812, Niagara Glen, the choicest beauty spot on the peninsula, where unusual geological formations 'and rare flora are to be found, Queenston Heights and the sites around Forts George and Mississauga at Niagara-on-the-Lake. ‘ This playground is rmched by the first class service of the Canadian National Railways through its Niagara-St. Catharines Line of steamboats from Toronto to Port Dalhousie, and then by radial car throughout the peninsula. ._ Port Dalhousie has the finest bathing branch on Lake Ontario, an excellent recreation park and dance pavilion, and is a popular picnic resort for the We of Toronto and other Ontario points. ‘.
