. The sportsman's paradise, or, The lake lands of Canada [microform]. Hunting; Fishing; Chasse; Pêche sportive. OR, THE LAKE LANDS OF CANADA. 285 train halted at the different stations along the route, to en- tertain with his musical performances all the persons in or about the cars. At such times he took great pains to seat himself in such a position that all who heard the music might at the same time behold the instrument and the per- former.
