PM Two THE DURHAM CHRONICLE a I *mâ€"fâ€"n WITH THE WEI“ PM 3:: 319333;; IN THE “RIMES -?.‘.‘£“3‘i€“f?i'?‘i‘l‘_’.‘f On Sunday, the 24th of June, we pulled into Point Levis about 5 o’- clock in the morning after a inght’s run from Campbellton. NB. We had been up for some time and on the beautifully bright morning caught a first glimpse of the citadel in the ancient capital on the other side of the St. Lawrence. Another object of interest was the Chateau Frontenac on the Dutl'erin Terrace. It was a pretty sight in the sunrise to \‘lOW in the distance the many beautiful structures. and the mighty St. Law- rence at our feet separating the two old cities. This was our third time to vuéit the city of Quebec, our first trip there being over forty years ago. It then had its scenic charms- and it has its scenic charms to-day. For rent natural beauty and for the magniticvnce of its scenic efi‘ects there is no city on the North Amer- ican mntinent possessing greater charms. ltisour oldest city and surpasses all citios on the continent in the wealth and the variety of the attractions it utt‘omls the tourist.

Here a monument has been erected in memory of Wolfe. and since then a joint monument in honor of Wolfe and Montcalm, the victor and the vanquished. has been erected in the Governor’s gardens at the rear of the Dulferin 'l‘errace. Overlooking this and crowning the heights of the escarpment some 300 feet above the river, is the citadel, now occupied by Canadian troops. It was constructed less than a century ago according to plans approved by the Duke of Wellington. the hero of Waterloo. It cost $25,000,000. Magnificent views are to be obâ€" tained from several parts of the city, but the linest is from the citadel. Dr. Farquharson. formerly Presbyterian minister here, took us in charge and from his residence in the city for a number of years and knowing the place well. he was able to point out many plaees and explain them with much interest, from historieal and other stanihminls. From the Citadel lookng down the river, a fine View is ohtainml of the St. Lawrence. In the «listanee the Island of Orleans is in full View. Near here, too. is Ste. Anne ile Beanpre, where for over 250 years devout pilgrims' have made their way. seeking restoration of health. Looking up the river may be seen at a distance of six or seven miles the famous Quebec Bridge, erected only a few years ago and re- garded as one of the greatest engin- eering triumphs of the world. All visitors to Quebec will lie anxâ€" ious to see this great structure. The party was specially favored in hav- ing the privilege of viewing it under the most favorable conditions. About nine o’clock the party left Point Levis by steamer and sailed up stream some seven or eight miles, We ofier a complete service for FARMERS GRAIN and CATTLE DEALERS MERCHANTS MANUFACTURERS and MUNICIPALITIES Fifty Years of Banking STANDAiiâ€"D BANK John Kelly, Manager. pasting directly tinder the bridge. On approaching the wonderful ,structure there was a feeling that it was too low for the tall masts of the vessel to pass underneath, but it was not so, there was room‘enough and to spare. A few particulars at this DOint. may be interestingto many of our readers. The main span, 1,800 feet, is the longest in the world, being 90 feet greater than that of the famous 1%)th Bridge in Scotland. The length of the central suspended span is 640 feet, of the cantilever arms. 1.160 feet, and of the anchor arms 1,030 feet. The whole length of the bridge is 3.240 feet. The height of the centre span above the water is 150 feet. The centre span was con- structed at Sillery, about three miles below. After it had been complete- 1y assembled and rivited the span was placed on‘specially constructed ‘scows. and thence, guided by tugs.‘ floated into position under the can-’ ,tilever arms and raised by hydraulic hoists to its designed place. The span weighed 5,000 tons and had to be hoisted 150 feet, This took place in September, 1917, six years ago. land is still fresh in the memory of many of our readers. Perhaps the effort. of the previous year will be more tirme “XML hi the year 1016 an attempt was inside to hoist a similar span into position, but owing to a. det‘eet._ in one of the rastings of the hoisting apparatus. it. slipped and fell to the lmttum of the. river and is still there.
