The Sunset doorway of the Dominion, Vancouver, . TORPEDO BOATS IN THE HARBOUR. Visitors coming down to the sea from countries with aharsh cold atmosphere, are amazed at the equable climate,soft blue air and sublimely glorious scenery, that greet themas they alight at the tide-water of British Columbias com-mercial capital. What inland man is there who does not thrill withpleasure and emotion when he for the first time walks on thebeach of the broad ocean, hears the murmuring surge andsees the ocean liner float majestically on the placid bosom ofthe deep ? With what delight does he look curiously atbarnacles, star fish, sea weed, kelp, and the ebb and flow ofthe tide, subjects often read and thought about, and now seenfor the first time. 3 The city itself (named after the great explorer) growingrapidly and now not much short of fifty thousand people, ison a peninsula and almost entirely surrounded by salt with a gentle slope, from a harbor praised the worldover for its beauty, size, and the land-locked security offered. IN STANLEY PARK. to the largest ships, Vancouver presents either from sea orland a very handsome and charming appearance. Laid outon modern lines with broad streets, well paved with asphaltor blocks, the visitor finds in a few minutes that he is in athoroughly modern, up-to-date city, where cleanliness is re-garded by the people as a sine qua non. 4
